  2. 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 ...

  3. Partition (database) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_(database)

    Partitioning options on a table in MySQL in the environment of the Adminer tool. A partition is a division of a logical database or its constituent elements into distinct independent parts. Database partitioning refers to intentionally breaking a large database into smaller ones for scalability purposes, distinct from network partitions which ...

  4. Database index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index

    No standard defines how to create indexes, because the ISO SQL Standard does not cover physical aspects. Indexes are one of the physical parts of database conception among others like storage (tablespace or filegroups). [clarify] RDBMS vendors all give a CREATE INDEX syntax with some specific options that depend on their software's capabilities.

  5. Database schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_schema

    In a relational database, the schema defines the tables, fields, relationships, views, indexes, packages, procedures, functions, queues, triggers, types, sequences, materialized views, synonyms, database links, directories, XML schemas, and other elements. A database generally stores its schema in a data dictionary. Although a schema is defined ...

  6. 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.

  7. MySQL Cluster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL_Cluster

    MySQL Cluster, also known as MySQL Ndb Cluster is a technology providing shared-nothing clustering and auto-sharding for the MySQL database management system. It is designed to provide high availability and high throughput with low latency, while allowing for near linear scalability. [ 3 ]

  8. Physical schema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_schema

    A complete physical data model will include all the database artifacts required to create relationships between tables or to achieve performance goals, such as indexes, constraint definitions, linking tables, partitioned tables or clusters. Analysts can usually use a physical data model to calculate storage estimates; it may include specific ...

  9. View (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    Materialized views were introduced by Oracle Database, while IBM Db2 provides so-called "materialized query tables" (MQTs) for the same purpose. Microsoft SQL Server introduced in its 2000 version indexed views which only store a separate index from the table, but not the entire data. PostgreSQL implemented materialized views in its 9.3 release.
