  • Keys Are, As Their Name Suggests, a Key Part of a Relational Database
    The key is defined as the column or attribute of the database table. For example if a table has id, name and address as the column names then each one is known as the key for that table. We can also say that the table has 3 keys as id, name and address. The keys are also used to identify each record in the database table . Primary Key:- • Every database table should have one or more columns designated as the primary key . The value this key holds should be unique for each record in the database. For example, assume we have a table called Employees (SSN- social security No) that contains personnel information for every employee in our firm. We’ need to select an appropriate primary key that would uniquely identify each employee. Primary Key • The primary key must contain unique values, must never be null and uniquely identify each record in the table. • As an example, a student id might be a primary key in a student table, a department code in a table of all departments in an organisation. Unique Key • The UNIQUE constraint uniquely identifies each record in a database table. • Allows Null value. But only one Null value. • A table can have more than one UNIQUE Key Column[s] • A table can have multiple unique keys Differences between Primary Key and Unique Key: • Primary Key 1. A primary key cannot allow null (a primary key cannot be defined on columns that allow nulls). 2. Each table can have only one primary key. • Unique Key 1. A unique key can allow null (a unique key can be defined on columns that allow nulls.) 2.

Usually, databases have more tables, each corresponding to one of the objects you are trying to represent. Relation In a database, tables are usually related in a logical way. A link between two tables is called a relation. A relation always involves two tables and one column from each. Linking tables is very important for avoiding data redundancy and for better organizing your database. Suppose the TV set product mentioned earlier was manufactured by a company called ACME, and you also store a CD player produced by ACME. If there were not separate tables for products and manufacturers, you would need to store the same manufacturer twice in your database, once for each product. This not only takes up a lot of disk space, but maintaining several copies of the same data can make updates very difficult.

  • UNIT III (RDBMS) Answers to One Mark Questions
    UNIT III (RDBMS) Answers To One Mark Questions 1. MySQL is an Open Source Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that uses Structured Query Language (SQL) for adding, accessing and managing contents in a database. It is available free of cost. 2. “_” (Underscore) is used to represent a single character whereas “%” is used to represent any sequence of zero or more characters. 3. In a table, there can be only one Primary key constraint whereas; it may have more than one unique key constraint. OR Primary key constraint is used to identify a tuple (record) uniquely, cannot be null. Unique key constraint makes sure that duplicate values in a specified column are not accepted, however it may be null. 4. Primary key formed by combining more than one fields is called Composite Key. 5. Degree means number of columns (Attributes/ Fields) in a table. Cardinality means number of rows (Tuples/ Records) in a table. 6. She specified ‘NOT NULL’ constraint for that column while creating the table. 7. Candidate key is a column or group of columns that is suitable to be selected as primary key. A table can have multiple candidate keys but it can have only primary key. Example: Assume a table student having columns AdmNo,Rollno,Name,Address. AdmNo and Rollno are candidate keys, anyone can be selected as primary key. 8. ALTER TABLE command is used to modify the structure of a table. This command falls in DDL category. UPDATE command is used to make changes in the data stored in a table. This command falls in DML category.

  • Foreign and Primary Keys in RDM Embedded SQL: Efficiently Implemented Using the Network Model
    TECHNICAL WHITEPAPER Foreign and Primary Keys in RDM Embedded SQL: Efficiently Implemented Using the Network Model By Randy Merilatt, Chief Architect - January 2012 This article is relative to the following versions of RDM: RDM Embedded 10.1 Network model databases have been viewed as strictly non-relational and outdated. But in the 1990s when the SQL standard incorporated support for declared foreign keys to represent inter-table relationships, the gap between the relational and the network model representation of a database narrowed. This was exploited by Raima in RDM Server (RDMs) with the introduction of the create join statement that allowed an SQL foreign and primary key relationship to be explicitly mapped into a network model set. in 2009, when Raima decided to add SQL to RDM Embedded (RDMe) we decided to keep RDMe SQL as simple and as free of as many unnecessary, non-standard extensions as possible. Hence, network model sets are automatically (i.e., implicitly) used in the implementation of foreign and primary key relationships. This paper describes how network model sets are implemented in the RDMe core-level database engine, the syntax and semantics of SQL foreign and primary keys, and why the use of network model sets provides an efficient and high performance implementation for them. The Network Database Model: A Little History The primary data organization mechanism that was provided in some very early database management systems (DBMS) was the ability to declare a one-to-many relationship between a parent record type (table) and a child record type. These systems were known as hierarchical model systems because the data was strictly hierarchically arranged—each child could have only one parent.
