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.

-
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.
