  2. Select (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    Although not in standard, most DBMS allows using a select clause without a table by pretending that an imaginary table with one row is used. This is mainly used to perform calculations where a table is not needed. The SELECT clause specifies a list of properties (columns) by name, or the wildcard character (“*”) to mean “all properties”.

  3. SQL syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_syntax

    A derived table is the use of referencing an SQL subquery in a FROM clause. Essentially, the derived table is a subquery that can be selected from or joined to. The derived table functionality allows the user to reference the subquery as a table. The derived table is sometimes referred to as an inline view or a subselect.

  4. Alias (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    In addition, aliasing is required when doing self joins (i.e. joining a table with itself.) In SQL, you can alias tables and columns. A table alias is called a correlation name, according to the SQL standard. [1] A programmer can use an alias to temporarily assign another name to a table or column for the duration of the current SELECT query ...

  5. List of proper names of stars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_proper_names_of_stars

    In 2016, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) organized a Working Group on Star Names (WGSN) [2] to catalog and standardize proper names for stars. The WGSN's first bulletin, dated July 2016, [3] included a table of 125 stars comprising the first two batches of names approved by the WGSN (on 30 June and 20 July 2016) together with names of stars adopted by the IAU Executive Committee ...

  6. Celestial equator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_equator

    The celestial equator is defined to be infinitely distant (since it is on the celestial sphere); thus, the ends of the semicircle always intersect the horizon due east and due west, regardless of the observer's position on Earth. At the poles, the celestial equator coincides with the astronomical horizon.

  7. List of nearest stars by spectral type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_stars_by...

    Below there are lists the nearest stars separated by spectral type. The scope of the list is still restricted to the main sequence spectral types: M , K , F , G , A , B and O . It may be later expanded to other types, such as S , D or C .

  8. Proper motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_motion

    The culmination of the star is daily reached when the observer (and Earth) passes as shown by the blue arrows "beneath" the star. The positive axes of the two components of its usually annually measured or published shift in proper motion are the exaggerated red arrows, note: the right arrows point to the east horizon.

  9. Position angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_angle

    The concept of the position angle is inherited from nautical navigation on the oceans, where the optimum compass course is the course from a known position s to a target position t with minimum effort.
