    Study Notes

    • The transaction manager is a database management component responsible for preventing conflicts between concurrent transactions and restoring the database to a consistent state in case of failure.

    • MongoDB is an open-source NoSQL database that supports INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations.

    • SQL manages relational databases using statements like CREATE TABLE, which creates a new table with specified column names and data types.

    • Database design the analysis phase identifies database requirements through entities, relationships, and attributes.

    • Logical design translates these requirements into tables, keys, and columns for a specific database system.

    • Physical design organizes tables on storage media by adding indexes and optimizing table structures for faster query processing.

    • An application programming interface (API) like the MySQL Command-Line Client simplifies SQL usage with a database system.

    • A database can store data in tables, which consist of a name, fixed columns, and variable rows.

    • Each column has a name and a data type, such as INT, VARCHAR, or DATE.

    • Data independence is a principle that guarantees query results remain the same regardless of the physical design or organization of data.

    • SQL is divided into five sublanguages: Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Query Language (DQL), Data Manipulation Language (DML), Data Control Language (DCL), and Data Transaction Language (DTL).

    • In SQL, a table is a collection of rows, each with an unnamed sequence of values corresponding to columns.

    • A cell is a single value in a single column and single row.

    • The CREATE TABLE statement creates a new table with specified column names and data types. The DROP TABLE statement deletes a table and its data. The ALTER TABLE statement modifies existing table columns.

    • Integer data types include INTEGER and SMALLINT, which allocate different amounts of storage for integer values.

    • The transaction manager is a database management component responsible for preventing conflicts between concurrent transactions and restoring the database to a consistent state in case of failure.

    • Integer data types include INTEGER and SMALLINT, which allocate different amounts of storage for integer values.

    • An ER diagram is a schematic representation of entities, relationships, and attributes

    • Entities are sets of things (entity types) or individual things (entity instances)

    • Relationships are sets of related things (relationship types) or statements about entity instances (relationship instances)

    • Attributes are sets of values (attribute types) or individual values (attribute instances)

    • In analysis, entities, relationships, and attributes are discovered and cardinality is determined

    • Strong and weak entities, as well as supertype and subtype entities, are distinguished

    • Logical design converts the ER model into tables, columns, and keys

    • Entity types and instances, relationship types and instances, and attribute types and instances become tables, foreign keys, and columns, respectively

    • ER diagrams use crow's foot notation to represent cardinality (zero, one, or many)

    • Intangible entities are not tracked with data in the database

    • Primary keys are stable, simple, and meaningless, and determine the relationships between tables

    • Functional dependence is the dependence of one column on another

    • Redundancy is the repetition of related values in a table

    • Normal forms are rules for designing tables with less redundancy

    • A candidate key is a unique and minimal set of columns

    • A table is in third normal form if, whenever a non-key column depends on another column, that column is unique

    • A table is in Boyce-Codd normal form if, whenever a column depends on another column, that column is unique

    • Heap tables have no order imposed on rows

    • Normalization eliminates redundancy by decomposing a table into smaller tables

    • Denormalization intentional introduces redundancy for performance reasons.
