    clob: Text data of user-defined encoding; sexp: Ordered collections of values with application-defined semantics; Each Ion type supports a null variant, indicating a lack of value while maintaining a strict type (e.g., null.int, null.struct). The Ion format permits annotations to any value in the form of symbols.

  3. PL/SQL - Wikipedia

    There is no DATETIME type. And there is a TIME type. But there is no TIMESTAMP type that can contain fine-grained timestamp up to millisecond or nanosecond. The TO_DATE function can be used to convert strings to date values. The function converts the first quoted string into a date, using as a definition the second quoted string, for example:

  4. SQL-92 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL-92

    SQL-92 was the third revision of the SQL database query language. Unlike SQL-89, it was a major revision of the standard. Aside from a few minor incompatibilities, the SQL-89 standard is forward-compatible with SQL-92. The standard specification itself grew about five times compared to SQL-89.

  5. Query by Example - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_by_Example

    Query by Example (QBE) is a database query language for relational databases. It was devised by Moshé M. Zloof at IBM Research during the mid-1970s, in parallel to the development of SQL. [1] It is the first graphical query language, using visual tables where the user would enter commands, example elements and conditions.

  6. Timestamp-based concurrency control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timestamp-based...

    In this case, if the transaction's timestamp is after the object's read timestamp, the read timestamp is set to the transaction's timestamp. If a transaction wants to write to an object, but the transaction started before the object's read timestamp it means that something has had a look at the object, and we assume it took a copy of the object ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timestamp

    The term "timestamp" derives from rubber stamps used in offices to stamp the current date, and sometimes time, in ink on paper documents, to record when the document was received. Common examples of this type of timestamp are a postmark on a letter or the "in" and "out" times on a time card.

  8. Dimension (data warehouse) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension_(data_warehouse)

    A common data warehouse example involves sales as the measure, with customer and product as dimensions. In each sale a customer buys a product. The data can be sliced by removing all customers except for a group under study, and then diced by grouping by product. A dimensional data element is similar to a categorical variable in statistics.

  9. Temporal database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_database

    With the development of SQL and its attendant use in real-life applications, database users realized that when they added date columns to key fields, some issues arose. For example, if a table has a primary key and some attributes, adding a date to the primary key to track historical changes can lead to creation of more rows than intended.
