GLOSSARY

aggregate functions sql functions that perform a calculation on a set of values and return a single result

some examples include count, avg, sum, max, and min. they are commonly used
with group by clauses to summarize data.

attributes characteristics or properties that describe entities in a database, typically

represented as columns in a table

an attribute holds data that corresponds to an entity, such as a "name" or "address"

for a "person." each attribute has a defined data type.

database an organized collection of structured data, typically stored electronically in a

computer system

it can contain multiple tables, views, and other objects. databases are managed by
database management systems (dbms) to ensure data integrity and security.
Database Administrator (DBA) a professional responsible for the installation, configuration, management, and
maintenance of a database system

they ensure data availability, security, and performance optimization. the dba also
handles tasks like backups, updates, and user permissions.

database design the process of structuring a database logically and physically to meet business
needs

it involves creating tables, relationships, keys, and constraints to ensure data

integrity and efficiency. proper design minimizes redundancy and ensures
scalability.

Database Management System a software system that enables the creation, management, and manipulation of
(DBMS) databases

it provides an interface for users and applications to interact with the stored
data. dbms ensures data consistency, security, and concurrency control.

Data Definition Language a subset of sql used to define, modify, and delete database objects
(DDL) like tables, indexes, and views

key ddl commands include create, alter, and drop. ddl statements
affect the structure of the database itself.

Data Manipulation Language a subset of sql used to manipulate the data within a database
(DML)
it includes commands like select, insert, update, and delete. dml
operations interact directly with data stored in tables.
Data Control Language a subset of sql used to control access to data in a database
(DCL)
it includes the grant and revoke commands to manage user permissions. dcl
ensures that only authorized users can access or modify certain data.

entities objects or things in the real world that have a distinct existence and can be
represented within a database

examples include a "customer" or "employee." entities are typically represented as

rows in a table.

file system a method of storing and organizing data in files on a disk or other storage devices

while a file system provides basic file storage capabilities, a dbms offers advanced
data management features like querying and indexing. file systems are not
optimized for large-scale data retrieval or concurrency control.

foreign key a column or group of columns in a table that creates a relationship between two
tables

it refers to the primary key of another table to establish referential integrity. foreign
keys ensure that data in related tables remains consistent.

function a named, precompiled block of code that performs a specific task and returns a
result

in sql, functions can manipulate data, perform calculations, or return modified data
based on input arguments. functions are often used in queries or stored
procedures.
Graphical User Interface (GUI) a visual interface that allows users to interact with a computer system
through graphical elements like buttons, icons, and menus

gui simplifies database management tasks by allowing users to perform

actions without writing sql commands. oracle provides a gui-based tool called
sql developer for database management.

identifiers names used to uniquely identify objects in a database, such as tables,

columns, or functions

identifiers must follow specific naming rules set by the dbms. in oracle,
identifiers are case-insensitive unless enclosed in quotes.

JOIN syntax the syntax used to combine data from two or more tables based on a related
column

common types of joins include inner join, left join, right join, and full join.
joins are essential for retrieving related data from multiple tables in
relational databases.

null values special markers used to represent missing or undefined data in a database

a null value does not equal any other value, not even another null. handling
null values correctly is important for data integrity and accurate query
results.

ORDER BY clause an sql clause used to sort the result set of a query by one or more columns

the order can be ascending (asc) or descending (desc). it helps organize query
results in a specific sequence.
 primary key a column or combination of columns in a table that uniquely identifies each
row

it ensures data integrity by preventing duplicate or null values in the key

column(s). every table in a relational database should have a primary key.

privileges permissions granted to database users that define what actions they can
perform on the database objects

common privileges include select, insert, update, and delete. privileges can
be granted to individual users or roles.

Structured Query Language (SQL) a standardized programming language used to manage and manipulate
relational databases

it allows users to define, query, and modify data using statements like select,
insert, update, and delete. sql is essential for interacting with relational
databases.
