Database design. Database design is the organization of data according to a database model. The designer determines what data must be stored and how the data elements interrelate. With this information, they can begin to fit the data to the database model. [1] A database management system manages the data accordingly.
NewSQL is a class of relational database management systems that seek to provide the scalability of NoSQL systems for online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads while maintaining the ACID guarantees of a traditional database system. [ 1][ 2][ 3][ 4]
Entity–relationship model. An entity–attribute-relationship diagram for an MMORPG using Chen's notation. An entity–relationship model (or ER model) describes interrelated things of interest in a specific domain of knowledge. A basic ER model is composed of entity types (which classify the things of interest) and specifies relationships ...
Relational database. A relational database ( RDB[ 1]) is a database based on the relational model of data, as proposed by E. F. Codd in 1970. [ 2] A database management system used to maintain relational databases is a relational database management system ( RDBMS ). Many relational database systems are equipped with the option of using SQL ...
Codd's twelve rules[ 1] are a set of thirteen rules ( numbered zero to twelve) proposed by Edgar F. Codd, a pioneer of the relational model for databases, designed to define what is required from a database management system in order for it to be considered relational, i.e., a relational database management system (RDBMS). [ 2][ 3] They are ...
The enhanced entity–relationship ( EER) model (or extended entity–relationship model) in computer science is a high-level or conceptual data model incorporating extensions to the original entity–relationship (ER) model, used in the design of databases . It was developed to reflect more precisely the properties and constraints that are ...
A database management system ( DBMS) is a computer program (or more typically, a suite of them) designed to manage a database, a large set of structured data, and run operations on the data requested by numerous users. Typical examples of DBMS use include accounting, human resources and customer support systems.
A hierarchical database model is a data model in which the data are organized into a tree -like structure. The data are stored as records which are connected to one another through links. A record is a collection of fields, with each field containing only one value. The type of a record defines which fields the record contains.
