Study Notes
Handling Database
Database Management Systems (DBMS)
- A software system that allows defining, creating, and managing databases
- Examples: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle
Database Types
- Relational Database: Organizes data into one or more tables with rows and columns
- NoSQL Database: Stores data in a variety of formats, such as key-value, document, or graph
- Cloud Database: A database that runs on a cloud computing platform
Database Operations
- Create: Define the structure of a database, including tables, fields, and relationships
- Read: Retrieve data from a database
- Update: Modify existing data in a database
- Delete: Remove data from a database
SQL (Structured Query Language)
- A standard language for managing relational databases
- Used for creating, modifying, and querying databases
- Examples of SQL commands:
-
SELECT: Retrieves data from a database -
INSERT: Adds new data to a database -
UPDATE: Modifies existing data in a database -
DELETE: Deletes data from a database
-
Database Normalization
- A process of organizing data to minimize data redundancy and improve data integrity
- Involves dividing a database into smaller, related tables
- Normalization rules:
- First Normal Form (1NF): Each table cell must contain a single value
- Second Normal Form (2NF): Each non-key attribute in a table must depend on the entire primary key
- 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
Data Modeling
- A process of creating a conceptual representation of a database
- Involves identifying entities, attributes, and relationships
- Data modeling techniques:
- Entity-Relationship (ER) Diagrams: A visual representation of a database
- Unified Modeling Language (UML): A standardized language for modeling software systems
Learn about the basics of database management, including database types, operations, and normalization. Understand the concepts of SQL and data modeling techniques.
