  2. 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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.

    CUBRID (/ ˈ k juː b r ɪ d / "cube-rid") is an open-source SQL-based relational database management system (RDBMS) with object extensions developed by CUBRID Corp. for OLTP.The name CUBRID is a combination of the two words cube and bridge, cube standing for a space for data and bridge standing for data bridge.

  6. DUAL table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DUAL_table

    The DUAL table is a special one-row, one-column table present by default in Oracle and other database installations. In Oracle, the table has a single VARCHAR2(1) column called DUMMY that has a value of 'X'. It is suitable for use in selecting a pseudo column such as SYSDATE or USER.

  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. Database scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_scalability

    Typically row locks are necessary to support high volume transaction processing applications at the cost of processing overhead to manage the larger number of locks. [4] Further, some systems ensure that a query sees a time-consistent view of the database by locking data that a query is examining to prevent an update from modifying it, stalling ...

  9. Data orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_orientation

    The two most common representations are column-oriented (columnar format) and row-oriented (row format). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The choice of data orientation is a trade-off and an architectural decision in databases , query engines, and numerical simulations. [ 1 ]
