  2. Select (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    SELECT * FROM (SELECT ROW_NUMBER OVER (ORDER BY sort_key ASC) AS row_number, columns FROM tablename) AS foo WHERE row_number <= 10 ROW_NUMBER can be non-deterministic : if sort_key is not unique, each time you run the query it is possible to get different row numbers assigned to any rows where sort_key is the same.

  3. Window function (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    In SQL, a window function or analytic function [1] is a function which uses values from one or multiple rows to return a value for each row. (This contrasts with an aggregate function, which returns a single value for multiple rows.) Window functions have an OVER clause; any function without an OVER clause is not a window function, but rather ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. SQL syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_syntax

    The OFFSET clause specifies the number of rows to skip before starting to return data. The FETCH FIRST clause specifies the number of rows to return. Some SQL databases instead have non-standard alternatives, e.g. LIMIT, TOP or ROWNUM. The clauses of a query have a particular order of execution, [5] which is denoted by the number on the right ...

  7. Null (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    Other SQL operations, clauses, and keywords using the "not distinct" definition in their treatment of Nulls include: The PARTITION BY clause of the ranking and windowing functions such as ROW_NUMBER; The UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT operators, which treat NULLs as the same for row comparison/elimination purposes; The DISTINCT keyword used in ...

  8. Hierarchical and recursive queries in SQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_and_recursive...

    In SQL:1999 a recursive (CTE) query may appear anywhere a query is allowed. It's possible, for example, to name the result using CREATE [ RECURSIVE ] VIEW . [ 16 ] Using a CTE inside an INSERT INTO , one can populate a table with data generated from a recursive query; random data generation is possible using this technique without using any ...

  9. Block Range Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Range_Index

    The same may not be true of B-tree: B-tree requires a tree node for every approximately N rows in the table, where N is the capacity of a single node, thus the index size is large. As BRIN only requires a tuple for each block (of many rows), the index becomes sufficiently small to make the difference between disk and memory.
