How do I decide which data model to use? What determining factors will lead me in the right path for deciding on a model?

Thanks,

John

That depends on what you want to implement.

I agree with debasisdas. It depends on what you want to implement. If you were implementing a very specific and limited part of a system, such as the movie timings of a theater, then an entity-relational model would be ideal. But for larger systems with many unknowns, a relational model would work better. If you want to encapsulate and customize your data for greater control, the object-oriented model or object-relational model would be used.
