  2. Shadow paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_paging

    In computer science, shadow paging is a technique for providing atomicity and durability (two of the ACID properties) in database systems. A page in this context refers to a unit of physical storage (probably on a hard disk), typically of the order of 1 to 64 KiB. Shadow paging is a copy-on-write technique for avoiding in-place updates of

  3. IDMS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDMS

    The Integrated Database Management System (IDMS) is a network model database management system for mainframes.It was first developed at B.F. Goodrich and later marketed by Cullinane Database Systems (renamed Cullinet in 1983).

  4. Cursor (databases) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursor_(databases)

    In computer science, a database cursor is a mechanism that enables traversal over the records in a database. Cursors facilitate processing in conjunction with the traversal, such as retrieval, addition and removal of database records. The database cursor characteristic of traversal makes cursors akin to the programming language concept of iterator.

  5. Database tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_tuning

    Database tuning describes a group of activities used to optimize and homogenize the performance of a database. It usually overlaps with query tuning, but refers to design of the database files, selection of the database management system (DBMS) application, and configuration of the database's environment ( operating system , CPU , etc.).

  6. Page replacement algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_replacement_algorithm

    The theoretically optimal page replacement algorithm (also known as OPT, clairvoyant replacement algorithm, or Bélády's optimal page replacement policy) [3] [4] [2] is an algorithm that works as follows: when a page needs to be swapped in, the operating system swaps out the page whose next use will occur farthest in the future. For example, a ...

  7. Shadow table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_table

    The database can send the whole transactions table. The database can send a shadow table that only contains the transactions involving the user that requested his/her transaction history. The second option is usually more favorable because it saves bandwidth and processing power on the user's end. It also keeps others' transaction data secure.

  8. Data manipulation language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_manipulation_language

    In SQL, the data manipulation language comprises the SQL-data change statements, [3] which modify stored data but not the schema or database objects. Manipulation of persistent database objects, e.g., tables or stored procedures, via the SQL schema statements, [3] rather than the data stored within them, is considered to be part of a separate data definition language (DDL).

  9. Database engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_engine

    A database engine (or storage engine) is the underlying software component that a database management system (DBMS) uses to create, read, update and delete (CRUD) data from a database. Most database management systems include their own application programming interface (API) that allows the user to interact with their underlying engine without ...
