    Study Notes

    • Binary search is a method used to find a specific entry in a database by repeatedly splitting the index in half

    • The database compares the search value to an entry in the middle of the index and determines which half to search next based on the comparison result

    • This process continues until the search value is found

    • Databases can have primary and secondary indexes, with primary indexes being on the sort column and secondary indexes not being on the sort column

    • Indexes can also be dense or sparse, with dense indexes having an entry for every row and sparse indexes having an entry for every block

    • Multi-level indexes are a type of index that stores column values and row pointers in a hierarchical structure

    • Multi-level indexes can be balanced or imbalanced, with balanced indexes having equal length branches and imbalanced indexes having different length branches

    • B+tree and B-tree are two types of balanced multi-level indexes, with B+tree having all indexed values in the bottom level and pointers to table blocks only in the bottom level, and B-tree having indexed values and pointers to table blocks at all levels

    • Hash indexes, bitmap indexes, logical indexes, and function indexes are other types of indexes used less frequently but supported by many databases

    • Tablespaces and partitions are database objects used to map tables to files and are not specified in the SQL standard.

    • The text discusses various aspects of database design using different modeling conventions and implementing entities, relationships, and attributes.

    • UML and IDEF1X are popular modeling conventions for software development and database design, respectively.

    • Intangible entities are documented in the data model but not tracked in the database, and are distinguished with special notation in ER diagrams.

    • In the logical design phase, each entity becomes a table, and primary keys are selected based on uniqueness, non-NULL value, stability, simplicity, and meaninglessness.

    • Strong entities become strong tables with a unique and non-NULL primary key, while subtype entities become subtype tables with a primary key identical to the supertype primary key and a foreign key referencing the supertype.

    • One-one and many-one relationships become foreign keys, while many-many relationships become a new weak table with foreign keys referencing the related tables.

    • In the implementation of attributes, plural attributes move to a new weak table containing the plural attribute and a foreign key referencing the initial table.

    • Primary keys should be stable, simple, and meaningless, and should correspond to unique and required attributes.

    • Artificial keys can be created when no suitable primary key exists and should be stable, simple, and meaningless.

    • Foreign keys implement relationships and have referential integrity actions such as cascade on primary key update and delete, and restrict on foreign key insert and update.

    • An alias is a temporary name assigned to a column or table using the AS keyword.

    • The EXISTS operator is used in correlated subqueries and returns TRUE if a subquery selects at least one row and FALSE if no rows are selected.

    • The NOT EXISTS operator does the opposite, returning TRUE if a subquery selects no rows and FALSE if at least one row is selected.

    • Flattening subqueries involves rewriting them as a join to improve performance.

    • View tables allow users to access data in a more user-friendly way by restructuring table columns and data types without changing the underlying database design.

    • View tables are not physically stored, but rather merged with the SQL query to retrieve data from base tables.

    • Materialized views store the data and must be refreshed when base table data changes.

    • Views offer advantages such as protecting sensitive data, saving complex queries, and storing optimized queries.

    • Inserting, updating, and deleting data in views can be problematic due to primary keys, aggregate values, and join views.

    • A WITH CHECK OPTION clause can be used in databases that allow view updates to prevent inserts or updates that do not satisfy the view query WHERE clause.

    • Relational algebra is a way of manipulating data using symbols and operations, with each operation having a corresponding Greek letter symbol and equivalent SQL query.

    • The nine operations in relational algebra are Selection (sigma), Projection (Pi), Product (multiplication symbol), Join (multiplication symbol with vertical bars), Union (∪), Intersect (∩), Difference (−), Rename (rho), and Aggregate (γ).

    • The CREATE TABLE statement creates a new table, specifying the table name, column names, and column data types.

    • Examples of data types include INT (4 bytes of storage), VARCHAR (string of variable length), DATE, DECIMAL, and BLOB (binary data).

    • The DROP TABLE statement deletes a table and all its rows.

    • The ALTER TABLE statement modifies an existing table by adding, deleting, or modifying columns.

    • Data types can be categorized as Integer, Decimal, Character, Date and time, Binary, Spatial, or Document.

    • Common integer data types are INT and SMALLINT, which use 4 and 2 bytes of storage respectively.

    • Decimal data types vary by number of digits after the decimal point and maximum size. FLOAT is an approximate decimal type.

    • Character data types represent textual characters, while Spatial data types store geometric information, and Document data types contain structured textual data.

    • MySQL supports various data types, including TINYINT, MEDIUMINT, BIGINT, DECIMAL, DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP, among others.

    • Data types vary in storage requirements, for example, character data types use one or two bytes per character, while integer data types use a fixed number of bytes per number.

    • Operators are symbols that compute values from operands. Arithmetic operators compute numeric values, comparison operators compute logical values, and logical operators combine logical values.

    • Arithmetic operators include addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), modulo (%), and exponentiation (^).

    • Comparison operators include equality (=), inequality (<> or !=), less than (<), less than or equal to (<=), greater than (>), and greater than or equal to (>=).

    • Logical operators include NOT (unary negation), AND, OR, and XOR.

    • Arithmetic operators can be unary (e.g., negative sign (-)) or binary (e.g., subtraction (a - b)).

    • MySQL supports various data types, including INT, DECIMAL, DATE, and TEXT, among others.

    • SELECTING ROWS: Operators are used to select specific rows from a table based on certain conditions.

    • Operators include arithmetic operators (addition, subtraction, etc.), comparison operators (equal, not equal, etc.), and logical operators (AND, OR, etc.).

    • An operator is a symbol that computes a value from one or more operands.

    • Arithmetic operators compute numeric values, comparison operators compute logical values, and logical operators combine logical values.
