  2. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    Another very simple implementation technique, usable when the keys are restricted to a narrow range, is direct addressing into an array: the value for a given key k is stored at the array cell A[k], or if there is no mapping for k then the cell stores a special sentinel value that indicates the lack of a mapping. This technique is simple and ...

  3. Data dictionary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_dictionary

    The terms data dictionary and data repository indicate a more general software utility than a catalogue. A catalogue is closely coupled with the DBMS software. It provides the information stored in it to the user and the DBA, but it is mainly accessed by the various software modules of the DBMS itself, such as DDL and DML compilers, the query optimiser, the transaction processor, report ...

  4. Soundex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundex

    Soundex is the most widely known of all phonetic algorithms (in part because it is a standard feature of popular database software such as IBM Db2, PostgreSQL, [2] MySQL, [3] SQLite, [4] Ingres, MS SQL Server, [5] Oracle, [6] ClickHouse, [7] Snowflake [8] and SAP ASE. [9]) Improvements to Soundex are the basis for many modern phonetic algorithms.

  5. Naming convention (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_convention...

    In Python, if a name is intended to be "private", it is prefixed by one or two underscores. Private variables are enforced in Python only by convention. Names can also be suffixed with an underscore to prevent conflict with Python keywords. Prefixing with double underscores changes behaviour in classes with regard to name mangling.

  6. Edit distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance

    More formally, for any language L and string x over an alphabet Σ, the language edit distance d(L, x) is given by [14] (,) = (,), where (,) is the string edit distance. When the language L is context free , there is a cubic time dynamic programming algorithm proposed by Aho and Peterson in 1972 which computes the language edit distance. [ 15 ]

  7. MUMPS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUMPS

    In IF commands and other syntax that has expressions evaluated as conditions, any string value is evaluated as a numeric value and, if that is a nonzero value, then it is interpreted as True. a<b yields 1 if a is less than b, 0 otherwise. Declarations None. All variables are dynamically created at the first time a value is assigned. Lines

  8. List of programming languages by type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programming...

    Procedural programming languages are based on the concept of the unit and scope (the data viewing range) of an executable code statement. A procedural program is composed of one or more units or modules, either user coded or provided in a code library; each module is composed of one or more procedures, also called a function, routine ...

  9. Skip list - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_list

    MemSQL uses lock-free skip lists as its prime indexing structure for its database technology. MuQSS, for the Linux kernel, is a CPU scheduler built on skip lists. [10] [11] Cyrus IMAP server offers a "skiplist" backend DB implementation [12] Lucene uses skip lists to search delta-encoded posting lists in logarithmic time. [citation needed]
