  2. Candidate key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidate_key

    The columns in a candidate key are called prime attributes, [3] and a column that does not occur in any candidate key is called a non-prime attribute. Every relation without NULL values will have at least one candidate key: Since there cannot be duplicate rows, the set of all columns is a superkey, and if that is not minimal, some subset of ...

  3. Redis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redis

    Redis popularized the idea of a system that can be considered a store and a cache at the same time. It was designed so that data is always modified and read from the main computer memory, but also stored on disk in a format that is unsuitable for random data access.

  4. Composite key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_key

    In database design, a composite key is a candidate key that consists of two or more attributes, [1] [2] [3] (table columns) that together uniquely identify an entity occurrence (table row). A compound key is a composite key for which each attribute that makes up the key is a foreign key in its own right.

  5. Unique key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_key

    The Foreign Key serves as the link, and therefore the connection, between the two related tables in this sample database. In a relational database, a candidate key uniquely identifies each row of data values in a database table. A candidate key comprises a single column or a set of columns in a single database table. No two distinct rows or ...

  6. Foreign key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_key

    A foreign key is a set of attributes in a table that refers to the primary key of another table, linking these two tables. In the context of relational databases, a foreign key is subject to an inclusion dependency constraint that the tuples consisting of the foreign key attributes in one relation, R, must also exist in some other (not necessarily distinct) relation, S; furthermore that those ...

  7. Primary key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_key

    In the relational model of databases, a primary key is a designated attribute that can reliably identify and distinguish between each individual record in a table.The database creator can choose an existing unique attribute or combination of attributes from the table (a natural key) to act as its primary key, or create a new attribute containing a unique ID that exists solely for this purpose ...

  8. Domain-key normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-key_normal_form

    Domain-key normal form (DK/NF or DKNF) is a normal form used in database normalization which requires that the database contains no constraints other than domain constraints and key constraints. A domain constraint specifies the permissible values for a given attribute, while a key constraint specifies the attributes that uniquely identify a ...

  9. Key checksum value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_checksum_value

    For a DES key, the key check value is computed by encrypting 8 bytes, each with value '00', with the key to be checked and retaining the 3 highest-order bytes of the encrypted result. For a AES key, the key check value is computed by encrypting 16 bytes, each with value '01', with the key to be checked and retaining the 3 highest-order bytes of ...
