    This list includes SQL reserved words – aka SQL reserved keywords, [1] [2] as the SQL:2023 specifies and some RDBMSs have added. Reserved words in SQL and related products In SQL:2023 [ 3 ]

  4. Alias (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alias_(SQL)

    Aliases provide users with the ability to reduce the amount of code required for a query, and to make queries simpler to understand. In addition, aliasing is required when doing self joins (i.e. joining a table with itself.) In SQL, you can alias tables and columns. A table alias is called a correlation name, according to the SQL standard. [1]

  5. Oracle metadata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_metadata

    Oracle Database provides information about all of the tables, views, columns, and procedures in a database. This information about information is known as metadata. [1] It is stored in two locations: data dictionary tables (accessed via built-in views) and a metadata registry.

[13] This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's original quasirelational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San ...

  7. View (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View_(SQL)

    Views take very little space to store; the database contains only the definition of a view, not a copy of all the data that it presents. Views structure data in a way that classes of users find natural and intuitive. [2] Just as a function (in programming) can provide abstraction, so can a database view. In another parallel with functions ...

  8. Keyspace (distributed data store) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyspace_(distributed_data...

    A keyspace may contain column families or super columns. Each super column contains one or more column families, and each column family contains at least one column. The keyspace is the highest abstraction in a distributed data store. This is fundamental in preserving the structural heuristics in dynamic data retrieval. [5]

  9. Delimiter-separated values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delimiter-separated_values

    Comma- and space-separated formats often suffer from this problem, since in many contexts those characters are legitimate parts of a data field. Most such files avoid delimiter collision either by surrounding all data fields in double quotes, or only quoting those data fields that contain the delimiter character.
