This document is designed to help the database administrator (DBA) use the KB_SQL procedures effectively to ensure good performance and consistent operation of the system. Audience The manual is written for the database administrator of the KB_SQL system. The material is directed to those persons responsible for the smooth ongoing operation of the system. Experienced users and programmers will find this information helpful in the basic implementation of the system and for integrating the system with existing applications. We expect you to be familiar with M, the relational database model, and SQL. For those who want to increase their understanding of these topics, we have provided a list of publications in the “ Additional Documentation” section of this preface. We also suggest that you review Lesson 1: The Basics in the KB_SQL SQL Reference Guide to become familiar with the functions of the interface. KB_SQL Database Administrator’s Guide 7 Conventions Used in this Manual To help you locate and identify material easily, KB Systems uses the following style conventions throughout this manual. [key] Key names appear enclosed in square brackets. Example: To save the information you entered, type Y and press [enter]. {compile-time variables} References to compile-time replacement variables are enclosed in curly braces. The names are case sensitive. Example: {BASE} italics Italics are used to reference prompt names (entry fields) and terms that may be new to you. All notes are placed in italics. Example: The primary key of the table is defined as the set of columns that is required to retrieve a single row from the table. Windows The manual includes many illustrations of windows. Window names are highlighted by a double underline. viii KB_SQL Database Administrator’s Guide Prompt: data type (length) [key] The manual includes information about all of the system prompts. Each prompt will include the data type, length, and any special keys allowed. If the prompt is followed by a colon (Prompt:), you may enter a value for the prompt. If a prompt is followed by an equal sign (Prompt= ), it is for display purposes only. If the prompt is followed by a question mark (Prompt?), you can enter a value of YES or NO. ^GLOBAL All M global names will be prefixed by the '^' character. Tag^Routine All M routine references will appear as tag^routine. Menu Option/Menu Option/Menu Option A string

  • 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.

  • Data Definition Language
    1 Structured Query Language SQL, or Structured Query Language is the most popular declarative language used to work with Relational Databases. Originally developed at IBM, it has been subsequently standard- ized by various standards bodies (ANSI, ISO), and extended by various corporations adding their own features (T-SQL, PL/SQL, etc.). There are two primary parts to SQL: The DDL and DML (& DCL). 2 DDL - Data Definition Language DDL is a standard subset of SQL that is used to define tables (database structure), and other metadata related things. The few basic commands include: CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE, and ALTER TABLE. There are many other statements, but those are the ones most commonly used. 2.1 CREATE DATABASE Many database servers allow for the presence of many databases1. In order to create a database, a relatively standard command ‘CREATE DATABASE’ is used. The general format of the command is: CREATE DATABASE <database-name> ; The name can be pretty much anything; usually it shouldn’t have spaces (or those spaces have to be properly escaped). Some databases allow hyphens, and/or underscores in the name. The name is usually limited in size (some databases limit the name to 8 characters, others to 32—in other words, it depends on what database you use). 2.2 DROP DATABASE Just like there is a ‘create database’ there is also a ‘drop database’, which simply removes the database. Note that it doesn’t ask you for confirmation, and once you remove a database, it is gone forever2. DROP DATABASE <database-name> ; 2.3 CREATE TABLE Probably the most common DDL statement is ‘CREATE TABLE’.

  • Exploring the Visualization of Schemas for Aggregate-Oriented Nosql Databases?
    Exploring the Visualization of Schemas for Aggregate-Oriented NoSQL Databases? Alberto Hernández Chillón, Severino Feliciano Morales, Diego Sevilla Ruiz, and Jesús García Molina Faculty of Computer Science, University of Murcia Campus Espinardo, Murcia, Spain {alberto.hernandez1,severino.feliciano,dsevilla,jmolina}@um.es Abstract. The lack of an explicit data schema (schemaless) is one of the most attractive NoSQL database features for developers. Being schema- less, these databases provide a greater flexibility, as data with different structure can be stored for the same entity type, which in turn eases data evolution. This flexibility, however, should not be obtained at the expense of losing the benefits provided by having schemas: When writ- ing code that deals with NoSQL databases, developers need to keep in mind at any moment some kind of schema. Also, database tools usu- ally require the knowledge of a schema to implement their functionality. Several approaches to infer an implicit schema from NoSQL data have been proposed recently, and some utilities that take advantage of inferred schemas are emerging. In this article we focus on the requisites for the vi- sualization of schemas for aggregate-oriented NoSQL Databases. Schema diagrams have proven useful in designing and understanding databases. Plenty of tools are available to visualize relational schemas, but the vi- sualization of NoSQL schemas (and the variation that they allow) is still in an immature state, and a great R&D effort is required to achieve tools with the desired capabilities. Here, we study the main challenges to be addressed, and propose some visual representations. Moreover, we outline the desired features to be supported by visualization tools.

Developers can use a single Smart topology management application interface to quickly build applications that run in on-premise and Online elastic configuration cloud environments. Multi-region data replication Enterprise grade software Applications send network requests against an Oracle NoSQL data store to and support perform database operations. With multi-region tables, data can be globally distributed and automatically replicated in real-time across different regions. Data can be modeled as fixed-schema tables, documents, key-value pairs, and large objects. Different data models interoperate with each other through a single programming interface. Oracle NoSQL Database is a sharded, shared-nothing system which distributes data uniformly across multiple shards in a NoSQL database cluster, based on the hashed value of the primary keys. An Oracle NoSQL Database data store is a collection of storage nodes, each of which hosts one or more replication nodes. Data is automatically populated across these replication nodes by internal replication mechanisms to ensure high availability and rapid failover in the event of a storage node failure.

  • Relational Database Fundamentals
    05_04652x ch01.qxp 7/10/06 1:45 PM Page 7 Chapter 1 Relational Database Fundamentals In This Chapter ᮣ Organizing information ᮣ Defining database ᮣ Defining DBMS ᮣ Comparing database models ᮣ Defining relational database ᮣ Considering the challenges of database design QL (pronounced ess-que-ell, not see’qwl) is an industry-standard language Sspecifically designed to enable people to create databases, add new data to databases, maintain the data, and retrieve selected parts of the data. Various kinds of databases exist, each adhering to a different conceptual model. SQL was originally developed to operate on data in databases that follow the relational model. Recently, the international SQL standard has incorporated part of the object model, resulting in hybrid structures called object-relational databases. In this chapter, I discuss data storage, devote a section to how the relational model compares with other major models, and provide a look at the important features of relational databases. Before I talk about SQL, however, I need to nail down what I mean by the term database. Its meaning has changed as computers have changed the way people record and maintain information. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Keeping Track of Things Today, people use computers to perform many tasks formerly done with other tools. Computers have replaced typewriters for creating and modifying documents. They’ve surpassed electromechanical calculators as the best way to do math. They’ve also replaced millions of pieces of paper, file folders, and file cabinets as the principal storage medium for important information. Compared to those old tools, of course, computers do much more, much faster — and with greater accuracy.
