An example of a data-integrity mechanism is the parent-and-child relationship of related records. If a parent record owns one or more related child records all of the referential integrity processes are handled by the database itself, which automatically ensures the accuracy and integrity of the data so that no child record can exist without a parent (also called being orphaned) and that no ...
An example of a database that has not enforced referential integrity. In this example, there is a foreign key (artist_id) value in the album table that references a non-existent artist — in other words there is a foreign key value with no corresponding primary key value in the referenced table.
Database design is the organization of data according to a database model.The designer determines what data must be stored and how the data elements interrelate. With this information, they can begin to fit the data to the database model. [1]
A SIARD file incorporates both the database content and also machine-processable structural metadata that records the structure of database tables and their relationships. The ZIP file contains an XML file describing the database structure (metadata.xml) as well as a collection of XML files, one per table, capturing the table content.

Codd's twelve rules [1] are a set of thirteen rules (numbered zero to twelve) proposed by Edgar F. Codd, a pioneer of the relational model for databases, designed to define what is required from a database management system in order for it to be considered relational, i.e., a relational database management system (RDBMS).
This is a chronological list of orphan source incidents and accidents. Note: As incident reporting has used inconsistent units of measurement, here are the conversion factors; metric prefixes are used where appropriate: kilo (k), mega (M), giga (G), tera (T):
A tombstone is a deleted record in a replica of a distributed data store. [1] The tombstone is necessary, as distributed data stores use eventual consistency , where only a subset of nodes where the data is stored must respond before an operation is considered to be successful.
