  2. Wide and narrow data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_and_narrow_data

    Many statistical and data processing systems have functions to convert between these two presentations, for instance the R programming language has several packages such as the tidyr package. 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 ...

  3. Select (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    Select only then {rows} rows with filter: First Page: select only the first {rows} rows, depending on the type of database; Next Page: select only the first {rows} rows, depending on the type of database, where the {unique_key} is greater than {last_val} (the value of the {unique_key} of the last row in the current page)

  4. Database index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_index

    The non-clustered index tree contains the index keys in sorted order, with the leaf level of the index containing the pointer to the record (page and the row number in the data page in page-organized engines; row offset in file-organized engines). In a non-clustered index, The physical order of the rows is not the same as the index order.

  5. Selection algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_algorithm

    Quickselect was presented without analysis by Tony Hoare in 1965, [41] and first analyzed in a 1971 technical report by Donald Knuth. [11] The first known linear time deterministic selection algorithm is the median of medians method, published in 1973 by Manuel Blum, Robert W. Floyd, Vaughan Pratt, Ron Rivest, and Robert Tarjan.

  6. Data orientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_orientation

    The two most common representations are column-oriented (columnar format) and row-oriented (row format). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The choice of data orientation is a trade-off and an architectural decision in databases , query engines, and numerical simulations. [ 1 ]

  7. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    To use column-major order in a row-major environment, or vice versa, for whatever reason, one workaround is to assign non-conventional roles to the indexes (using the first index for the column and the second index for the row), and another is to bypass language syntax by explicitly computing positions in a one-dimensional array.

  8. Entity–attribute–value model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity–attribute–value...

    A row-modeled table is homogeneous in the facts that it describes: a Line Items table describes only products sold. By contrast, an EAV table contains almost any type of fact. The data type of the value column/s in a row-modeled table is pre-determined by the nature of the facts it records.

  9. Raising and lowering indices - Wikipedia

    We first fix definitions: is a finite-dimensional vector space over a field . Typically K = R {\displaystyle K=\mathbb {R} } or C {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} } . ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } is a non-degenerate bilinear form, that is, ϕ : V × V → K {\displaystyle \phi :V\times V\rightarrow K} is a map which is linear in both arguments, making it ...
