Study Notes

Database Concepts

Normalization in a relational database ensures that each piece of data is stored in one place and one place only, minimizing data redundancy and improving data integrity.
OLAP stands for Online Analytical Processing, a technology that enables fast and efficient analysis of data for business decisions.
A primary index in database systems is used to speed up queries by providing a quick way to locate specific data, and it is automatically created by the database management system when a primary key is defined.
The main difference between clustered and secondary indexing is that a clustered index reorders the physical records of the table according to the indexed column, whereas a secondary index does not alter the physical order of the records, it only maintains a separate data structure to speed up queries.
The purpose of the Relational Algebra operation 'Project' is to select specific columns from a relation, similar to the SQL SELECT clause, and it is used to simplify relations by removing unwanted attributes.
