  2. Wide and narrow data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_and_narrow_data

    The pandas package in Python implements this operation as "melt" function which converts a wide table to a narrow one. The process of converting a narrow table to wide table is generally referred to as "pivoting" in the context of data transformations.

  3. 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. [1]

  4. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    This technique is simple and fast, with each dictionary operation taking constant time. However, the space requirement for this structure is the size of the entire keyspace, making it impractical unless the keyspace is small. [5] The two major approaches for implementing dictionaries are a hash table or a search tree. [3] [4] [5] [6]

  5. Pivot table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_table

    A pivot table is a table of values which are aggregations of groups of individual values from a more extensive table (such as from a database, spreadsheet, or business intelligence program) within one or more discrete categories. The aggregations or summaries of the groups of the individual terms might include sums, averages, counts, or other ...

  6. Data dictionary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_dictionary

    The terms data dictionary and data repository indicate a more general software utility than a catalogue. A catalogue is closely coupled with the DBMS software. It provides the information stored in it to the user and the DBA, but it is mainly accessed by the various software modules of the DBMS itself, such as DDL and DML compilers, the query optimiser, the transaction processor, report ...

  7. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    In a well-dimensioned hash table, the average time complexity for each lookup is independent of the number of elements stored in the table. Many hash table designs also allow arbitrary insertions and deletions of key–value pairs, at amortized constant average cost per operation. [3] [4] [5] Hashing is an example of a space-time tradeoff.

  8. Summed-area table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summed-area_table

    Using a summed-area table (2.) of a 6×6 matrix (1.) to sum up a subrectangle of its values; each coloured spot highlights the sum inside the rectangle of that colour. A summed-area table is a data structure and algorithm for quickly and efficiently generating

  9. Algebraic data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_data_type

    The set of all possible values of a sum type is the set-theoretic sum, i.e., the disjoint union, of the sets of all possible values of its variants. Enumerated types are a special case of sum types in which the constructors take no arguments, as exactly one value is defined for each constructor.
