A database schema is the blueprint that defines the database structure. The schema tells the database engine, the program that runs the database, how to put and get information in a database. The schema provides the framework for the database operations and contents.
The logical schema was the way data were represented to conform to the constraints of a particular approach to database management. At that time the choices were hierarchical and network. Describing the logical schema, however, still did not describe how physically data would be stored on disk drives. That is the domain of the physical schema. Now logical schemas describe data in terms of relational tables and columns, object-oriented classes, and XML tags.
