  2. Partition (database) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_(database)

    Using compound keys—such as prefixing timestamps with sensor identifiers—can distribute this load. [1] An example could be a partition for all rows where the "zipcode" column has a value between 70000 and 79999. List partitioning: a partition is assigned a list of values. If the partitioning key has one of these values, the partition is chosen.

  3. Balanced number partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balanced_number_partitioning

    The two subsets should contain floor(n/2) and ceiling(n/2) items. It is a variant of the partition problem. It is NP-hard to decide whether there exists a partition in which the sums in the two subsets are equal; see [4] problem [SP12]. There are many algorithms that aim to find a balanced partition in which the sum is as nearly-equal as possible.

  4. Greedy number partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_number_partitioning

    In computer science, greedy number partitioning is a class of greedy algorithms for multiway number partitioning. The input to the algorithm is a set S of numbers, and a parameter k. The required output is a partition of S into k subsets, such that the sums in the subsets are as nearly equal as possible. Greedy algorithms process the numbers ...

  5. Multiway number partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiway_number_partitioning

    The partition problem - a special case of multiway number partitioning in which the number of subsets is 2. The 3-partition problem - a different and harder problem, in which the number of subsets is not considered a fixed parameter, but is determined by the input (the number of sets is the number of integers divided by 3).

  6. Relational database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database

    [2] Part of this processing involves consistently being able to select or modify one and only one row in a table. Therefore, most physical implementations have a unique primary key (PK) for each row in a table. When a new row is written to the table, a new unique value for the primary key is generated; this is the key that the system uses ...

  7. Largest differencing method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_differencing_method

    For example, if S = {8,7,6,5,4}, then the resulting difference-sets are {6,5,4,1} after taking out the largest two numbers {8,7} and inserting the difference 8-7=1 back; Repeat the steps and then we have {4,1,1}, then {3,1} then {2}. Step 3 constructs the subsets in the partition by backtracking. The last step corresponds to {2},{}.

  8. Partition problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_problem

    In number theory and computer science, the partition problem, or number partitioning, [1] is the task of deciding whether a given multiset S of positive integers can be partitioned into two subsets S 1 and S 2 such that the sum of the numbers in S 1 equals the sum of the numbers in S 2. Although the partition problem is NP-complete, there is a ...

  9. Database - Wikipedia

    An SQL select statement and its result. In computing, a database is an organized collection of data or a type of data store based on the use of a database management system (DBMS), the software that interacts with end users, applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze the data.
