  2. Query optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_optimization

    Each different way typically requires different processing time. Processing times of the same query may have large variance, from a fraction of a second to hours, depending on the chosen method. The purpose of query optimization, which is an automated process, is to find the way to process a given query in minimum time.

  3. Database tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_tuning

    Database tuning describes a group of activities used to optimize and homogenize the performance of a database.It usually overlaps with query tuning, but refers to design of the database files, selection of the database management system (DBMS) application, and configuration of the database's environment (operating system, CPU, etc.).

  4. Latency (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)

    Latency, from a general point of view, is a time delay between the cause and the effect of some physical change in the system being observed. Lag, as it is known in gaming circles, refers to the latency between the input to a simulation and the visual or auditory response, often occurring because of network delay in online games.

  5. Temporal database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_database

    More specifically the temporal aspects usually include valid time, transaction time and/or decision time. Valid time is the time period during or event time at which a fact is true in the real world. Transaction time is the time at which a fact was recorded in the database. Decision time is the time at which the decision was made about the fact ...

  6. SQL:2011 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL:2011

    Time period definitions use two standard table columns as the start and end of a named time period, with closed set-open set semantics. This provides compatibility with existing data models, application code, and tools; Definition of application time period tables (elsewhere called valid time tables), using the PERIOD FOR annotation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_physics

    The time required for a quantity to fall to half its value as measured at the beginning of the time period. In physics, half-life typically refers to a property of radioactive decay, but may refer to any quantity which follows an exponential decay. Hamilton's principle Hamiltonian mechanics harmonic mean heat

  8. Valid time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valid_time

    The valid-time period is an interval based on event times, which are referred to as event datetime in data vault. [1] [2] Other names are application-time period [1] or real-world timeline. [1] SQL:2011 supports valid time through so-called application time-period tables.
