The principles underlying FRP can be traced back to early efforts in optimizing database systems. The principle is the main optimization strategy of indices, [2] where indices serve as a means to retrieve a subset of data quickly without scanning a large portion of the database, and do a thorough check on the subset of data upon retrieval. The ...
Data refinement is used to convert an abstract data model (in terms of sets for example) into implementable data structures (such as arrays). [citation needed] Operation refinement converts a specification of an operation on a system into an implementable program (e.g., a procedure).
Data reification (stepwise refinement) involves finding a more concrete representation of the abstract data types used in a formal specification. Data reification is the terminology of the Vienna Development Method (VDM) that most other people would call data refinement. An example is taking a step towards an implementation by replacing a data ...
The database schema is the structure of a database described in a formal language supported typically by a relational database management system (RDBMS). The term " schema " refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the database is constructed (divided into database tables in the case of relational databases ).
A database refactoring is a simple change to a database schema that improves its design while retaining both its behavioral and informational semantics. Database refactoring does not change the way data is interpreted or used and does not fix bugs or add new functionality. Every refactoring to a database leaves the system in a working state ...

A master data recast is another form of data transformation where the entire database of data values is transformed or recast without extracting the data from the database. All data in a well designed database is directly or indirectly related to a limited set of master database tables by a network of foreign key constraints.
Entity–relationship modeling is a relational schema database modeling method, used in software engineering to produce a type of conceptual data model (or semantic data model) of a system, often a relational database, and its requirements in a top-down fashion.
