  • The Relational Data Model and Relational Database Constraints
    chapter 33 The Relational Data Model and Relational Database Constraints his chapter opens Part 2 of the book, which covers Trelational databases. The relational data model was first introduced by Ted Codd of IBM Research in 1970 in a classic paper (Codd 1970), and it attracted immediate attention due to its simplicity and mathematical foundation. The model uses the concept of a mathematical relation—which looks somewhat like a table of values—as its basic building block, and has its theoretical basis in set theory and first-order predicate logic. In this chapter we discuss the basic characteristics of the model and its constraints. The first commercial implementations of the relational model became available in the early 1980s, such as the SQL/DS system on the MVS operating system by IBM and the Oracle DBMS. Since then, the model has been implemented in a large num- ber of commercial systems. Current popular relational DBMSs (RDBMSs) include DB2 and Informix Dynamic Server (from IBM), Oracle and Rdb (from Oracle), Sybase DBMS (from Sybase) and SQLServer and Access (from Microsoft). In addi- tion, several open source systems, such as MySQL and PostgreSQL, are available. Because of the importance of the relational model, all of Part 2 is devoted to this model and some of the languages associated with it. In Chapters 4 and 5, we describe the SQL query language, which is the standard for commercial relational DBMSs. Chapter 6 covers the operations of the relational algebra and introduces the relational calculus—these are two formal languages associated with the relational model.

  • Plantuml Language Reference Guide
    Drawing UML with PlantUML Language Reference Guide (Version 5737) PlantUML is an Open Source project that allows to quickly write: • Sequence diagram, • Usecase diagram, • Class diagram, • Activity diagram, • Component diagram, • State diagram, • Object diagram. Diagrams are defined using a simple and intuitive language. 1 SEQUENCE DIAGRAM 1 Sequence Diagram 1.1 Basic examples Every UML description must start by @startuml and must finish by @enduml. The sequence ”->” is used to draw a message between two participants. Participants do not have to be explicitly declared. To have a dotted arrow, you use ”-->”. It is also possible to use ”<-” and ”<--”. That does not change the drawing, but may improve readability. Example: @startuml Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response @enduml To use asynchronous message, you can use ”->>” or ”<<-”. @startuml Alice -> Bob: synchronous call Alice ->> Bob: asynchronous call @enduml PlantUML : Language Reference Guide, December 11, 2010 (Version 5737) 1 of 96 1.2 Declaring participant 1 SEQUENCE DIAGRAM 1.2 Declaring participant It is possible to change participant order using the participant keyword. It is also possible to use the actor keyword to use a stickman instead of a box for the participant. You can rename a participant using the as keyword. You can also change the background color of actor or participant, using html code or color name. Everything that starts with simple quote ' is a comment. @startuml actor Bob #red ' The only difference between actor and participant is the drawing participant Alice participant "I have a really\nlong name" as L #99FF99 Alice->Bob: Authentication Request Bob->Alice: Authentication Response Bob->L: Log transaction @enduml PlantUML : Language Reference Guide, December 11, 2010 (Version 5737) 2 of 96 1.3 Use non-letters in participants 1 SEQUENCE DIAGRAM 1.3 Use non-letters in participants You can use quotes to define participants.

  • A Developer's Guide to Data Modeling for SQL Server
    Praise for A Developer’s Guide to Data Modeling for SQL Server “Eric and Joshua do an excellent job explaining the importance of data modeling and how to do it correctly. Rather than relying only on academic concepts, they use real-world ex- amples to illustrate the important concepts that many database and application develop- ers tend to ignore. The writing style is conversational and accessible to both database design novices and seasoned pros alike. Readers who are responsible for designing, imple- menting, and managing databases will benefit greatly from Joshua’s and Eric’s expertise.” —Anil Desai, Consultant, Anil Desai, Inc. “Almost every IT project involves data storage of some kind, and for most that means a relational database management system (RDBMS). This book is written for a database- centric audience (database modelers, architects, designers, developers, etc.). The authors do a great job of showing us how to take a project from its initial stages of requirements gathering all the way through to implementation. Along the way we learn how to handle some of the real-world design issues that typically surface as we go through the process. “The bottom line here is simple. This is the book you want to have just finished read- ing when your boss says ‘We have a new project I would like your help with.’” —Ronald Landers, Technical Consultant, IT Professionals, Inc. “The Data Model is the foundation of the application. I’m pleased to see additional books being written to address this critical phase. This book presents a balanced and pragmatic view with the right priorities to get your SQL server project off to a great start and a long life.” —Paul Nielsen, SQL Server MVP, SQLServerBible.com “This is a truly excellent introduction to the database design methodology that will work for both novices and advanced designers.

  • Fast Foreign-Key Detection in Microsoft SQL
    Fast Foreign-Key Detection in Microsoft SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel Zhimin Chen Vivek Narasayya Surajit Chaudhuri Microsoft Research Microsoft Research Microsoft Research [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT stored in a relational database, which they can import into Excel. Microsoft SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel, or PowerPivot for Other sources of data are text files, web data feeds or in general any short, is an in-memory business intelligence (BI) engine that tabular data range imported into Excel. enables Excel users to interactively create pivot tables over large data sets imported from sources such as relational databases, text files and web data feeds. Unlike traditional pivot tables in Excel that are defined on a single table, PowerPivot allows analysis over multiple tables connected via foreign-key joins. In many cases however, these foreign-key relationships are not known a priori, and information workers are often not be sophisticated enough to define these relationships. Therefore, the ability to automatically discover foreign-key relationships in PowerPivot is valuable, if not essential. The key challenge is to perform this detection interactively and with high precision even when data sets scale to hundreds of millions of rows and the schema contains tens of tables and hundreds of columns. In this paper, we describe techniques for fast foreign-key detection in PowerPivot and experimentally evaluate its accuracy, performance and scale on both synthetic benchmarks and real-world data sets. These techniques have been incorporated into PowerPivot for Excel. Figure 1. Example of pivot table in Excel. It enables multi- dimensional analysis over a single table.
