  2. SQLAlchemy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQLAlchemy

    SQLAlchemy is an open-source Python library that provides an SQL toolkit (called "SQLAlchemy Core") and an Object Relational Mapper (ORM) for database interactions. It allows developers to work with databases using Python objects, enabling efficient and flexible database access.

  3. Selection (relational algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_(relational_algebra)

    In relational algebra, a selection (sometimes called a restriction in reference to E.F. Codd's 1970 paper [1] and not, contrary to a popular belief, to avoid confusion with SQL's use of SELECT, since Codd's article predates the existence of SQL) is a unary operation that denotes a subset of a relation.

  4. Relation (database) - Wikipedia

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

    Relation, tuple, and attribute represented as table, row, and column respectively. In database theory, a relation, as originally defined by E. F. Codd, [1] is a set of tuples (d 1,d 2,...,d n), where each element d j is a member of D j, a data domain.

  5. Tuple relational calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuple_relational_calculus

    An interesting property of these queries is that if we assume that the tuple variables range over tuples over the so-called active domain of the database, which is the subset of the domain that occurs in at least one tuple in the database or in the query expression, then the semantics of the query expressions does not change. In fact, in many ...

  6. Relational model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_model

    The current ISO SQL standard doesn't mention the relational model or use relational terms or concepts. [citation needed] According to the relational model, a Relation's attributes and tuples are mathematical sets, meaning they are unordered and unique. In a SQL table, neither rows nor columns are proper sets.

  7. Relational database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database

    If the tuple contains a candidate or primary key then obviously it is unique; however, a primary key need not be defined for a row or record to be a tuple. The definition of a tuple requires that it be unique, but does not require a primary key to be defined. Because a tuple is unique, its attributes by definition constitute a superkey.

  8. Superkey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superkey

    Tuples in a relation are by definition unique, with duplicates removed after each operation, so the set of all attributes is always uniquely valued for every tuple. A candidate key (or minimal superkey) is a superkey that can't be reduced to a simpler superkey by removing an attribute.

  9. Multivalued dependency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivalued_dependency

    In database theory, a multivalued dependency is a full constraint between two sets of attributes in a relation. In contrast to the functional dependency, the multivalued dependency requires that certain tuples be present in a relation. Therefore, a multivalued dependency is a special case of tuple-generating dependency.
