Study Notes
Database Concepts
- When records are added or removed from a relation, the degree of the relation varies, but the cardinality remains fixed.
- To prioritize security over processing speed, encryption protection technique should be employed.
Database Security
- Composite key is a primary or foreign key that consists of two or more attributes of a relation.
- To prevent simultaneous database operations from reading or writing a data item, the lock process is used.
- Data dictionary is metadata that is stored in tables and is only accessible by the DBMS.
Database Design
- In database design, entities are items about which information is stored.
- normalization is applied before determining entities.
- Designing user views is a later step in the database design process.
SQL and Database Management
- Data Control Language (DCL) is a subset of SQL used to limit access to a database or its data.
- REVOKE command is used to remove privileges from a user or group.
- Views provide controlled access to the database through virtual tables.
Database Architecture
- Three-tier architecture using thin client is suitable for the World Wide Web environment.
- Concurrency control is the management of simultaneous transactions to prevent conflicts.
Transactions and Control
- Serialization ensures that transactions are executed in a predictable order to prevent conflicts.
- A serial schedule is used when concurrent transactions read or write the same data structure.
- A transaction is a single unit of one or more database operations.
Testing and Quality Assurance
- White-box testing involves testing the software with knowledge of the underlying code.
Partitioning and Data Warehousing
- Range Partitioning is suitable for scenarios where older data does not need to be backed up frequently.
- Partitioning and RAC (Real Application Clusters) are features that provide high availability.
Database Administration
- Redo log files are required for instance recovery after a power outage.
- The ALTER USR command with ACCOUNT LOCK option locks a user account.
Access Management and Security
- Identity, Rights, and Access are concepts within the Access Management process.
- An alert is a warning that a threshold has been reached, something has changed, or a failure has occurred.
Database Design and Modeling
- Intermediate entities are created during logical database design to resolve complex, recursive, and many-to-many relationships.
