    Study Notes

    Data Modeling

    • Data modeling is the process of creating a conceptual representation of data structures and relationships.
    • It involves identifying entities, attributes, and relationships between them.
    • Data modeling techniques:
      • Entity-Relationship (ER) modeling
      • Object-Relational Mapping (ORM)
      • Dimensional modeling

    Normalization

    • Normalization is the process of organizing data in a database to minimize data redundancy and dependency.
    • Normalization rules:
      1. First Normal Form (1NF): Each table cell contains a single value.
      2. Second Normal Form (2NF): Each non-key attribute in a table depends on the entire primary key.
      3. Third Normal Form (3NF): If a table is in 2NF, and a non-key attribute depends on another non-key attribute, then it should be moved to a separate table.
    • Higher normal forms (e.g., Boyce-Codd Normal Form, Fourth Normal Form, Fifth Normal Form) exist, but are less commonly used.

    SQL

    • SQL (Structured Query Language) is a standard language for managing and manipulating data in relational databases.
    • SQL commands:
      • DDL (Data Definition Language): CREATE, ALTER, DROP
      • DML (Data Manipulation Language): INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
      • DQL (Data Query Language): SELECT
    • SQL syntax:
      • Queries: SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE condition
      • Joins: INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, FULL OUTER JOIN
      • Subqueries: SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name IN (subquery)

    Database Design

    • Database design is the process of creating a detailed blueprint for a database.
    • Database design considerations:
      • Data modeling
      • Normalization
      • Data integrity constraints (e.g., primary keys, foreign keys)
      • Data security and access control
      • Performance optimization
    • Database design phases:
      1. Requirements gathering
      2. Conceptual design
      3. Logical design
      4. Physical design

    Data Warehousing

    • Data warehousing is the process of collecting and storing data from various sources into a single, centralized repository.
    • Data warehousing benefits:
      • Improved data analysis and reporting
      • Enhanced decision-making capabilities
      • Support for business intelligence and analytics
    • Data warehousing components:
      • Data sources (e.g., transactional databases, flat files)
      • Data transformation and loading (ETL) tools
      • Data warehouse storage (e.g., relational databases, column-store databases)
      • Data mart (a subset of the data warehouse, focused on a specific business area)

    Data Modeling

    • Creates a conceptual representation of data structures and relationships
    • Identifies entities, attributes, and relationships between them
    • Techniques: Entity-Relationship (ER) modeling, Object-Relational Mapping (ORM), Dimensional modeling

    Normalization

    • Organizes data to minimize data redundancy and dependency
    • Rules:
      • First Normal Form (1NF): Each table cell contains a single value
      • Second Normal Form (2NF): Each non-key attribute depends on the entire primary key
      • Third Normal Form (3NF): Non-key attribute depends on another non-key attribute, moved to separate table

    SQL

    • Standard language for managing and manipulating data in relational databases
    • Commands:
      • DDL (Data Definition Language): CREATE, ALTER, DROP
      • DML (Data Manipulation Language): INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
      • DQL (Data Query Language): SELECT
    • Syntax:
      • Queries: SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE condition
      • Joins: INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, FULL OUTER JOIN
      • Subqueries: SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name IN (subquery)

    Database Design

    • Creates a detailed blueprint for a database
    • Considerations:
      • Data modeling
      • Normalization
      • Data integrity constraints
      • Data security and access control
      • Performance optimization
    • Phases:
      • Requirements gathering
      • Conceptual design
      • Logical design
      • Physical design

    Data Warehousing

    • Collects and stores data from various sources into a centralized repository
    • Benefits:
      • Improved data analysis and reporting
      • Enhanced decision-making capabilities
      • Support for business intelligence and analytics
    • Components:
      • Data sources
      • Data transformation and loading (ETL) tools
      • Data warehouse storage
      • Data mart (subset of the data warehouse, focused on a specific business area)

    Template Metaprogramming

    • Template metaprogramming is a C++ technique that allows the compiler to generate code at compile-time using templates, enabling the creation of generic code that can work with different types.

    Key Concepts

    • Template instantiation is the process of creating a specific instance of a template with a given type.
    • A metafunction is a function that is executed at compile-time, often used to manipulate templates.
    • Template recursion is a technique used to implement recursive algorithms at compile-time.

    Benefits

    • Compile-time evaluation reduces runtime overhead and improves performance.
    • Generic code enables the creation of reusable code that can work with different types.
    • Type safety ensures that the correct types are used, reducing the risk of runtime errors.

    Example

    • A simple example of template metaprogramming is a factorial metafunction that calculates the factorial of a given number at compile-time.

    Concurrency

    Definition

    • Concurrency is the ability of a program to execute multiple tasks simultaneously, improving responsiveness and throughput.

    Key Concepts

    • A thread is a separate flow of execution that can run concurrently with other threads.
    • A mutex is a synchronization mechanism that ensures only one thread can access a shared resource at a time.
    • Atomic operations are operations that are executed as a single, uninterruptible unit, ensuring thread safety.

    C++ Concurrency Features

    • std::thread is a class that represents a thread of execution.
    • std::mutex is a class that provides a mutex synchronization mechanism.
    • std::atomic is a class that provides atomic operations.
    • std::future is a class that represents a value that may be available at a later time.

    Synchronization Techniques

    • Locks are mechanisms that ensure exclusive access to shared resources.
    • Condition variables are mechanisms that allow threads to wait for a specific condition to occur.
    • Atomic operations are mechanisms that ensure thread safety without the need for locks.

    Example

    • A simple example of concurrency in C++ is a program that uses multiple threads to perform a task.
