  2. Surrogate key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_key

    A surrogate key is frequently a sequential number (e.g. a Sybase or SQL Server "identity column", a PostgreSQL or Informix serial, an Oracle or SQL Server SEQUENCE or a column defined with AUTO_INCREMENT in MySQL). Some databases provide UUID/GUID as a possible data type for surrogate keys (e.g. PostgreSQL UUID [3] or SQL Server ...

  3. Database transaction schedule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_transaction_schedule

    When the schedule is represented as a list rather than a grid, the action is represented as () where is a number corresponding to a specific transaction. W(X): The corresponding transaction "writes" to object X (i.e., it modifies the data stored at X).

  4. Hi/Lo algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi/Lo_algorithm

    It uses a sequence-based hi-lo pattern to generate values. Hi/Lo is used in scenarios where an application needs its entities to have an identity prior to persistence. It is a value generation strategy. An alternative to Hi/Lo would be for the application to generate keys as universally unique identifiers (UUID).

  5. Product key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_key

    A product key, also known as a software key, serial key or activation key, is a specific software-based key for a computer program. It certifies that the copy of the program is original. It certifies that the copy of the program is original.

  6. Sequence number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_number

    A sequence number is a consecutive number in a sequence of numbers, usually of real integers (natural numbers).Sequence numbers have many practical applications. They can be used, among other things, as part of serial numbers on manufactured parts, in case management, [1] or in databases as a surrogate key for registering and identifying unique entries in a table [2] [3] (in which case it is ...

  7. Serial number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_number

    Serial number of a laptop computer. In smartphones, serial numbers are extended to the integrated components in addition to the electronic device as a whole, also known as serialization. This gives unique individual parts such as the screen, battery, chip and camera a separate serial number. This is queried by the software for proper release ...

  8. Serial number arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Number_Arithmetic

    Furthermore, implementing serial number arithmetic using two's complement arithmetic implies serial numbers of a bit-length matching the machine's integer sizes; usually 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit. Implementing 20-bit serial numbers needs shifts (assuming 32-bit ints):

  9. SQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL

    SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce after learning about the relational model from Edgar F. Codd [12] in the early 1970s. [13] This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's original quasirelational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San ...
