    Study Notes

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

    • MongoDB is an open-source NoSQL database, while SQL supports creating and manipulating tables with statements like INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and CREATE TABLE.

    • In SQL, a table consists of a name, a fixed sequence of columns with unique names and data types, and a varying set of rows with unnamed tuples of values.

    • The logical design phase converts entities, relationships, and attributes into tables, keys, and columns. Physical design adds indexes and optimizes table storage.

    • An API is used to simplify SQL implementation with general-purpose languages. MySQL Command-Line Client is a text-based interface for executing SQL statements.

    • A tuple is an ordered collection of elements, while a cell is a single column of a single row. Business rules are based on business policies and specific to a particular database.

    • 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).

    • An attribute is a descriptive property of an entity, and types and instances are elements of their respective sets

    • Analysis develops an entity-relationship model, while logical design converts it into tables, columns, and keys for a particular database system

    • Physical design adds indexes and specifies table organization on storage media

    • Analysis involves discovering entities, relationships, and attributes, determining cardinality, distinguishing strong and weak entities, and creating supertype and subtype entities

    • Logical design involves implementing entities, relationships, and attributes

    • Cardinality refers to relationship maxima and minima, and a subtype entity is a subset of another entity type called the supertype entity.

    • Creating supertype and subtype entities is the last step in analysis.
