Study Notes

This text discusses the concept of databases and their management systems. A schema, or database schema, is the overall design of a database, including the content and structure of its fields, records, and data relationships. The database-management system (DBMS) enables users to process data stored in a database. The components of a DBMS environment include data, hardware, software, procedures, and people/end users. Relational databases are divided into logical units called tables, which are composed of rows and columns of data. A relation is a table composed of rows and columns of data, with table columns corresponding to attributes. A domain refers to a set of valid atomic values for a given attribute. A primary key serves as a unique identifier for a particular record within a relation. Joins combine two or more tables to retrieve data from multiple tables using primary and foreign keys. Several types of joins exist, including equijoins, natural joins, non-equijoins, outer joins, self-joins, and cross joins.
