2. Relational database - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database

   A database management system used to maintain relational databases is a relational database management system (RDBMS). Many relational database systems are equipped with the option of using SQL (Structured Query Language) for querying and updating the database.

3. Database normalization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization

   Database normalization is the process of structuring a relational database accordance with a series of so-called normal forms in order to reduce data redundancy and improve data integrity. It was first proposed by British computer scientist Edgar F. Codd as part of his relational model .

4. Relational model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_model

   Most relational databases use the SQL data definition and query language; these systems implement what can be regarded as an engineering approximation to the relational model. A table in a SQL database schema corresponds to a predicate variable; the contents of a table to a relation; key constraints, other constraints, and SQL queries ...

5. Codd's 12 rules - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codd's_12_rules

   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).

6. Database model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_model

   The basic data structure of the relational model is the table, where information about a particular entity (say, an employee) is represented in rows (also called tuples) and columns. Thus, the "relation" in "relational database" refers to the various tables in the database; a relation is a set of tuples. The columns enumerate the various ...

7. Cardinality (data modeling) - Wikipedia

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

   Computer scientist Edgar F. Codd created a systematic method to decompose and organize relational databases. [3] Codd's steps for organizing database tables and their keys is called database normalization, which avoids certain hidden database design errors (delete anomalies or update anomalies). In real life the process of database ...

8. Data hierarchy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_hierarchy

   It is particularly important in databases with referential integrity, third normal form, or perfect key. "Data hierarchy" is the result of proper arrangement of data without redundancy. Avoiding redundancy eventually leads to proper "data hierarchy" representing the relationship between data, and revealing its relational structure.

9. SQL - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL

   SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce after learning about the relational model from Edgar F. Codd [12] in the early 1970s. [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 ...
