  2. Hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_function

    A standard technique is to use a modulo function on the key, by selecting a divisor M which is a prime number close to the table size, so h(K) ≡ K (mod M). The table size is usually a power of 2. This gives a distribution from {0, M − 1}. This gives good results over a large number of key sets.

  3. Bigtable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigtable

    Tables are split into multiple tablets – segments of the table are split at certain row keys so that each tablet is a few hundred megabytes or a few gigabytes in size. A bigtable is somewhat like a mapreduce worker pool in that thousands to hundreds of thousands of tablet shards may be served by hundreds to thousands of BigTable servers.

  4. Cardinality (SQL statements) - Wikipedia

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

    In SQL (Structured Query Language), the term cardinality refers to the uniqueness of data values contained in a particular column (attribute) of a database table. The lower the cardinality, the more duplicated elements in a column. Thus, a column with the lowest possible cardinality would have the same value for every row.

  5. SQL syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_syntax

    Each column in an SQL table declares the type(s) that column may contain. ANSI SQL includes the following data types. [14] Character strings and national character strings. CHARACTER(n) (or CHAR(n)): fixed-width n-character string, padded with spaces as needed; CHARACTER VARYING(n) (or VARCHAR(n)): variable-width string with a maximum size of n ...

  6. Character large object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_large_object

    It is a collection of character data in a database management system, usually stored in a separate location that is referenced in the table itself. Oracle and IBM Db2 provide a construct explicitly named CLOB, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and the majority of other database systems support some form of the concept, often labeled as text , memo or long character ...

  7. Table (database) - Wikipedia

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

    In a database, a table is a collection of related data organized in table format; consisting of columns and rows. In relational databases , and flat file databases , a table is a set of data elements (values) using a model of vertical columns (identifiable by name) and horizontal rows , the cell being the unit where a row and column intersect ...

  8. Hierarchical and recursive queries in SQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_and_recursive...

    A common table expression, or CTE, (in SQL) is a temporary named result set, derived from a simple query and defined within the execution scope of a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement. CTEs can be thought of as alternatives to derived tables ( subquery ), views , and inline user-defined functions.

  9. StreamSQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StreamSQL

    StreamSQL extends the type system of SQL to support streams in addition to tables. Several new operations are introduced to manipulate streams. Selecting from a stream - A standard SELECT statement can be issued against a stream to calculate functions (using the target list) or filter out unwanted tuples (using a WHERE clause). The result will ...
