Study Notes
Lesson 5: DML (Data Manipulation Language)
- Data Manipulation Language (DML) commands allow viewing, filtering, inserting, deleting, and updating database data.
- INSERT adds new data to tables.
- UPDATE modifies existing data.
- DELETE removes data.
- SELECT (or Select Statements) retrieves data from tables.
- SQL Query Designer is used to code DML commands.
- UPPER converts data to uppercase.
- Concatenation joins column names.
- Single quotes enclose string values.
- SPACE function adds spaces.
Lesson 5: Statements
- ORDER BY clause sorts results (ascending or descending).
- WHERE clause filters data, selecting only records that meet specific conditions.
Lesson 6: Normalization
- Normalization organizes data, reducing redundancy in relational database design, grouping attributes into well-structured relations.
-
Benefits of normalization:
- Improved database organization.
- Reduced data redundancy.
- Enhanced data consistency.
- Increased design flexibility.
- Improved security.
-
Normal Forms:
- Non-First Normal Form (NonNF).
- First Normal Form (1NF).
- Second Normal Form (2NF).
- Third Normal Form (3NF).
- Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF).
- Fourth Normal Form (4NF).
Lesson 7: Relationships
- Relationships exist between database tables when one table's foreign key refers to another table's primary key.
- Cardinality: number of instances of an entity in a relation.
- One-to-One: One row links to only one row in another table (rare).
- One-to-Many: One row can link to many rows in another table.
- Many-to-Many: One row in a table can link to many rows in another table.
- Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ER diagrams) represent a database's conceptual design illustrating table relationships.
Lesson 7: ER Diagram Notation
- Entities: Real-world objects (represented by triangles).
- Attributes: Properties of entities (represented by ellipses).
- Relationships: Associations between entities (represented by diamond-shaped boxes).
Lesson 9: Backup and Recovery
- Backup: Duplicated copy of data.
- Restoration: Retrieving data from a backup.
- Backup and recovery strategies prevent data loss.
