  2. Shard (database architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shard_(database_architecture)

    Horizontal partitioning splits one or more tables by row, usually within a single instance of a schema and a database server. It may offer an advantage by reducing index size (and thus search effort) provided that there is some obvious, robust, implicit way to identify in which partition a particular row will be found, without first needing to search the index, e.g., the classic example of the ...

  3. Partition (database) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_(database)

    Partitioning options on a table in MySQL in the environment of the Adminer tool. A partition is a division of a logical database or its constituent elements into distinct independent parts. Database partitioning refers to intentionally breaking a large database into smaller ones for scalability purposes, distinct from network partitions which ...

    Informix supports multiple databases in a server instance like MySQL. It supports the CREATE SCHEMA syntax as a way to group DDL statements into a single unit creating all objects created as a part of the schema as a single owner. Informix supports a database mode called ANSI mode which supports creating objects with the same name but owned by ...

  5. Materialized view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materialized_view

    In computing, a materialized view is a database object that contains the results of a query.For example, it may be a local copy of data located remotely, or may be a subset of the rows and/or columns of a table or join result, or may be a summary using an aggregate function.

  6. Physical schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_schema

    A complete physical data model will include all the database artifacts required to create relationships between tables or to achieve performance goals, such as indexes, constraint definitions, linking tables, partitioned tables or clusters. Analysts can usually use a physical data model to calculate storage estimates; it may include specific ...

  7. Block Range Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Range_Index

    A Block Range Index or BRIN is a database indexing technique. They are intended to improve performance with extremely large [i] tables.. BRIN indexes provide similar benefits to horizontal partitioning or sharding but without needing to explicitly declare partitions.

  8. MyISAM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyISAM

    MySQL uses a .frm file to store the definition of the table, but this file is not a part of the MyISAM engine; instead it is a part of the server. The data file has a .MYD (MYData) extension. The index file has a .MYI (MYIndex) extension. The index file, if lost, can always be recreated by recreating indexes.

  9. Database index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index

    A database index is a data structure that improves the speed of data retrieval operations on a database table at the cost of additional writes and storage space to maintain the index data structure. Indexes are used to quickly locate data without having to search every row in a database table every time said table is accessed.
