  2. Data truncation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_truncation

    In databases and computer networking data truncation occurs when data or a data stream (such as a file) is stored in a location too short to hold its entire length. [1] Data truncation may occur automatically, such as when a long string is written to a smaller buffer , or deliberately, when only a portion of the data is wanted.

  3. Truncate (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    In SQL, the TRUNCATE TABLE statement is a data manipulation language (DML) [1] operation that deletes all rows of a table without causing a triggered action. The result of this operation quickly removes all data from a table, typically bypassing a number of integrity enforcing mechanisms.

  4. Data transformation (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_transformation...

    A master data recast is another form of data transformation where the entire database of data values is transformed or recast without extracting the data from the database. All data in a well designed database is directly or indirectly related to a limited set of master database tables by a network of foreign key constraints.

  5. Atomicity (database systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomicity_(database_systems)

    In database systems, atomicity (/ ˌ æ t ə ˈ m ɪ s ə t i /; from Ancient Greek: ἄτομος, romanized: átomos, lit. 'undividable') is one of the ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) transaction properties. An atomic transaction is an indivisible and irreducible series of database operations such that either all occur ...

  6. String operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_operations

    The right quotient of a character a from a string s is the truncation of the character a in the string s, from the right hand side. It is denoted as s / a {\displaystyle s/a} . If the string does not have a on the right hand side, the result is the empty string.

  7. String-to-string correction problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-to-string...

    A single edit operation may be changing a single symbol of the string into another (cost W C), deleting a symbol (cost W D), or inserting a new symbol (cost W I). [2] If all edit operations have the same unit costs (W C = W D = W I = 1) the problem is the same as computing the Levenshtein distance of two strings.

  8. Database transaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_transaction

    A database transaction symbolizes a unit of work, performed within a database management system (or similar system) against a database, that is treated in a coherent and reliable way independent of other transactions. A transaction generally represents any change in a database. Transactions in a database environment have two main purposes:

  9. Round-off error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error

    Round-by-chop: The base-expansion of is truncated after the ()-th digit. This rounding rule is biased because it always moves the result toward zero. Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal ...
