  2. Entity integrity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity_integrity

    The PK is a not empty set of attributes (or columns). The same format applies to the foreign key (abbreviated FK) because each FK matches a preexistent PK. Each of attributes being part of a PK (or of a FK) must have data values (such as numbers, letters or typographic symbols) but not data marks (also known as NULL marks in SQL world).

  3. Associative entity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_entity

    An associative (or junction) table maps two or more tables together by referencing the primary keys (PK) of each data table. In effect, it contains a number of foreign keys (FK), each in a many-to-one relationship from the junction table to the individual data tables. The PK of the associative table is typically composed of the FK columns ...

  4. Relational database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database

    The primary keys within a database are used to define the relationships among the tables. When a PK migrates to another table, it becomes a foreign key (FK) in the other table. When each cell can contain only one value and the PK migrates into a regular entity table, this design pattern can represent either a one-to-one or one-to-many relationship.

  5. Foreign key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_key

    A foreign key is a set of attributes in a table that refers to the primary key of another table, linking these two tables. In the context of relational databases, a foreign key is subject to an inclusion dependency constraint that the tuples consisting of the foreign key attributes in one relation, R, must also exist in some other (not necessarily distinct) relation, S; furthermore that those ...

  6. Database normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization

    Database normalization is the process of structuring a relational database in 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 .

    SELECT * FROM database1. foo vs. SELECT * FROM database2. foo (no explicit schema between database and table) SELECT * FROM [database1.] default. foo vs. SELECT * FROM [database1.] alternate. foo (no explicit database prefix) The problem that arises is that former MySQL users will create multiple databases for one project. In this context ...

  9. Unique key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_key

    The Foreign Key serves as the link, and therefore the connection, between the two related tables in this sample database. In a relational database, a candidate key uniquely identifies each row of data values in a database table. A candidate key comprises a single column or a set of columns in a single database table. No two distinct rows or ...
