  2. Surrogate key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_key

    To discover such errors, one must perform a query that uses a left outer join between the table with the foreign key and the table with the primary key, showing both key fields in addition to any fields required to distinguish the record; all invalid foreign-key values will have the primary-key column as NULL. The need to perform such a check ...

  4. Bigtable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigtable

    For example, Google's copy of the web can be stored in a bigtable where the row key is a domain-reversed URL, and columns describe various properties of a web page, with one particular column holding the page itself. The page column can have several timestamped versions describing different copies of the web page timestamped by when they were ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extract,_transform,_load

    Selecting only certain columns to load: (or selecting null columns not to load). For example, if the source data has three columns (aka "attributes"), roll_no, age, and salary, then the selection may take only roll_no and salary. Or, the selection mechanism may ignore all those records where salary is not present (salary = null).

  6. Database normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization

    In situations where the number of unique values of a column is far less than the number of rows in the table, column-oriented storage allow significant savings in space through data compression. Columnar storage also allows fast execution of range queries (e.g., show all records where a particular column is between X and Y, or less than X.)

  7. Data validation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_validation

    This check is essential for programs that use file handling. Format check Checks that the data is in a specified format (template), e.g., dates have to be in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Regular expressions may be used for this kind of validation. Presence check Checks that data is present, e.g., customers may be required to have an email address ...

  8. Relational database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database

    In this type of join, two relations are connected by their common attributes. MySQL's approximation of a natural join is the Inner join operator. In SQL, an INNER JOIN prevents a cartesian product from occurring when there are two tables in a query. For each table added to a SQL Query, one additional INNER JOIN is added to prevent a cartesian ...

  9. Column (database) - Wikipedia

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

    In a relational database, a column is a set of data values of a particular type, one value for each row of a table. [1] A column may contain text values, numbers, or even pointers to files in the operating system. [2] Columns typically contain simple types, though some relational database systems allow columns to contain more complex data types ...
