How much do you know about Relational Databases and SQL?

Study Notes

Relational databases (BDR) are a type of database that follows the relational model.
The relational model was proposed by Edgar Frank Codd in 1970 and quickly became a new paradigm in database models.
A relational database management system (RDBMS) is used to maintain relational databases and SQL is used to query and maintain them.
In a BDR, all data is stored and accessed through pre-established relationships.
Relationships that store data are called base relationships and their implementation is called a "table".
Other relationships do not store data but are calculated by applying relational operations and are called derived relationships, implemented as a "view" or "query".
Constraints are used to limit the data that can be stored in tables and can be defined by the user or inherently defined by the relational database.
Domains describe a set of possible values for a specific attribute in a table.
Primary keys uniquely identify each record in a table, while foreign keys reference a key in another table and index keys allow for faster access to data.
SQL is the most common language used to manipulate information in relational databases.
Tables can contain different types of data such as text, numbers, dates, logical information, and images.
The design of a table should focus on determining the necessary fields and defining them properly with a specific name, type, and length.
Tables are used to organize and store data in a structured way.
Fields are the columns in a table that represent a specific type of data.
Records are the rows in a table that contain information related to a specific entity or item.
Primary keys are a unique identifier for each record in a table.
Relationships between tables can be established through foreign keys.
Tables can be joined to combine data from multiple tables.
The design of a table should consider data normalization to avoid redundancy and improve efficiency.
Tables are commonly used in database management systems.
