Hierarchical Database Model

• This model is based on parent/child relationship just like a tree structure.

• Data is stored 'Records' which are connected to each other through links.

• A record in this model corresponds to a row / tuple in relational database model.

• And an entity i.e parent/ child correspond to a table (relation).

*** Each child can have only one parent, where as each parent record can have more child or no child at bottom level.

• To retrieve any record the whole tree needs to be traversed starting from root node.

database System

*Records can be accessed and manipulated rapidly as relationship between records are defined in advance.
