  2. Hi/Lo algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi/Lo_algorithm

    This implementation uses hi/lo algorithm to generate identifiers. Algorithm uses a high value retrieved from database and combines it with range of low values to generate a unique identifier. High value is from column next_id of table hibernate_unique_key by default. But you can override this to use a different table.

  3. Unique key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_key

    No two distinct rows or data records in a database table can have the same data value (or combination of data values) in those candidate key columns since NULL values are not used. Depending on its design, a database table may have many candidate keys but at most one candidate key may be distinguished as the primary key.

  4. Cardinality (SQL statements) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinality_(SQL_statements)

    High-cardinality refers to columns with values that are very uncommon or unique. High-cardinality column values are typically identification numbers, email addresses, or user names. An example of a data table column with high-cardinality would be a USERS table with a column named USER_ID. This column would contain unique values of 1-n. Each ...

  5. Active record pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_record_pattern

    [1] [2] The interface of an object conforming to this pattern would include functions such as Insert, Update, and Delete, plus properties that correspond more or less directly to the columns in the underlying database table. The active record pattern is an approach to accessing data in a database. A database table or view is wrapped into a class.

  6. Surrogate key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_key

    Surrogate keys simplify the creation of foreign key relationships because they only require a single column (as opposed to composite keys - which require multiple columns). When creating a query on the database, forgetting to include all the columns in a composite foreign key when joining tables can lead to unexpected results in the form of an ...

  7. Triplestore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplestore

    Adding a name to the triple makes a "quad store" or named graph. A graph database has a more generalized structure than a triplestore, using graph structures with nodes, edges, and properties to represent and store data. Graph databases might provide index-free adjacency, meaning every element contains a direct pointer to its adjacent elements ...

  8. Count-distinct problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count-distinct_problem

    Thus, the existence of duplicates does not affect the value of the extreme order statistics. There are other estimation techniques other than min/max sketches. The first paper on count-distinct estimation [7] describes the Flajolet–Martin algorithm, a bit pattern sketch. In this case, the elements are hashed into a bit vector and the sketch ...

  9. Database index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index

    To process this statement without an index the database software must look at the last_name column on every row in the table (this is known as a full table scan). With an index the database simply follows the index data structure (typically a B-tree ) until the Smith entry has been found; this is much less computationally expensive than a full ...
