Quid significat 'entitas composita' (Composite attribute), 'entitas multivalens' (Multi-Valued Attribute) et 'attributum derivatum' (Derived Attribute)?
Quid significat 'entitas composita' (Composite attribute), 'entitas multivalens' (Multi-Valued Attribute) et 'attributum derivatum' (Derived Attribute)?
Entitas composita est forma impostorum quae ex duobus vel pluribus aliis attributis constat. Entitas multivalens est attributum quod plures valorem habet. Attributum derivatum est attributum quod ex aliis attributis vel campum computatum est.
Quid differunt 'entitas fortis' et 'entitas debilis'? Da exemplum pro utroque.
Quid differunt 'entitas fortis' et 'entitas debilis'? Da exemplum pro utroque.
Entitas fortis est entitas quae non necessitat alteram entitatem ut existat, entitas debilis autem necessitat aliam entitatem ut existat. Exemplum entitatis fortis est 'employee' et entitatis debilis est 'employee dependent'.

Quid est scopum normalizationis basi deorum (Normalization)?
Scopum normalizationis est eliminatio reduplicatio et anomaliam ne schemata deorum sint bene structurata et quod efficiens atque functionale sint.

Study Notes
ER Model: Entity-Relationship Diagram
- ER Model: used to represent the structure of data in a database
- Entity: a thing or concept that has existence and can be described with a set of attributes (e.g., employee, product)
- Attribute: a characteristic or feature of an entity (e.g., employee name, product price)
- Relationship: a connection between two or more entities (e.g., employee works on project, product belongs to category)
Types of Entities
- Weak Entity: an entity that cannot exist without another entity (e.g., employee's dependent)
- Strong Entity: an entity that can exist independently (e.g., employee, product)
Types of Attributes
- Single-valued Attribute: an attribute that has a single value (e.g., employee name)
- Multi-valued Attribute: an attribute that can have multiple values (e.g., employee's phone numbers)
- Derived Attribute: an attribute that is calculated from other attributes (e.g., employee's age)
- Composite Attribute: an attribute that is composed of multiple attributes (e.g., address)
Relationships
- One-to-One (1:1) Relationship: a relationship between two entities where one entity has a unique relationship with another entity (e.g., employee and their dependent)
- One-to-Many (1:N) Relationship: a relationship between two entities where one entity has multiple relationships with another entity (e.g., employee and their projects)
- Many-to-Many (M:N) Relationship: a relationship between two entities where both entities have multiple relationships with each other (e.g., products and categories)
ER Diagram Notation
- Entity: represented by a rectangle
- Attribute: represented by a column or a field within an entity
- Relationship: represented by a line connecting two entities
- Cardinality: represented by a number or a symbol indicating the type of relationship (e.g., 1, *, +)
Chapter 5: Database Normalization
- Database Normalization: the process of organizing the data in a database to minimize data redundancy and improve data integrity
- Goals of Normalization: to eliminate data redundancy, improve data integrity, and reduce data anomaly
First Normal Form (1NF)
- Define a table as a relation with a primary key
- Eliminate repeating groups in a table
Second Normal Form (2NF)
- A table is in 2NF if it is in 1NF and all non-key attributes are fully functional dependent on the primary key
- Eliminate partial dependencies in a table
Third Normal Form (3NF)
- A table is in 3NF if it is in 2NF and there are no transitive dependencies in a table
- Eliminate transitive dependencies in a table
Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF)
- A table is in BCNF if it is in 3NF and there are no transitive dependencies in a table, and every determinant is a candidate key
- Eliminate transitive dependencies and ensure that every determinant is a candidate key
Chapter 6: Relational Algebra
- Relational Algebra: a formal system for manipulating relational databases
- Relational Algebra Operations: select, project, join, union, difference, and rename
Querying a Relational Database
- Select Operation: retrieves a subset of rows from a table based on a condition
- Project Operation: retrieves a subset of columns from a table
- Join Operation: combines rows from two or more tables based on a common column
- Union Operation: combines rows from two or more tables
- Difference Operation: retrieves rows from one table that are not present in another table
- Rename Operation: renames a table or column
Advanced Querying
- Aggregation Functions: sum, count, avg, max, and min
- Grouping: groups rows based on a common column
- Having Clause: filters groups based on a condition
- Subqueries: a query nested inside another query
Query Optimization
- Query Optimization: the process of improving the performance of a query
- Query Optimization Techniques: indexing, caching, and rewriting queries
