  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. Window function (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_function_(SQL)

    In SQL, a window function or analytic function [1] is a function which uses values from one or multiple rows to return a value for each row. (This contrasts with an aggregate function, which returns a single value for multiple rows.) Window functions have an OVER clause; any function without an OVER clause is not a window function, but rather ...

  4. Snowflake schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_schema

    The snowflake schema is in the same family as the star schema logical model. In fact, the star schema is considered a special case of the snowflake schema. The snowflake schema provides some advantages over the star schema in certain situations, including: Some OLAP multidimensional database modeling tools are optimized for snowflake schemas. [3]

  5. Partition (database) - Wikipedia

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

    In any partitioning scheme, data is typically arranged so that each piece of data (record, row, or document) belongs to exactly one partition. [1] While some databases support operations that span multiple partitions, this single-partition association is fundamental to the partitioning concept.

  6. Select (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Select_(SQL)

    SELECT * FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER OVER (ORDER BY sort_key ASC) AS row_number, columns FROM tablename) AS foo WHERE row_number <= 10 ROW_NUMBER can be non-deterministic : if sort_key is not unique, each time you run the query it is possible to get different row numbers assigned to any rows where sort_key is the same.

  7. Relational database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database

    Thus, for N tables in an SQL query, there must be N−1 INNER JOINS to prevent a cartesian product. The relational division (÷) operation is a slightly more complex operation and essentially involves using the tuples of one relation (the dividend) to partition a second relation (the divisor). The relational division operator is effectively the ...

  8. Hierarchical and recursive queries in SQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_and_recursive...

    In SQL:1999 a recursive (CTE) query may appear anywhere a query is allowed. It's possible, for example, to name the result using CREATE [ RECURSIVE ] VIEW . [ 16 ] Using a CTE inside an INSERT INTO , one can populate a table with data generated from a recursive query; random data generation is possible using this technique without using any ...
