An Item in DynamoDB is a set of attributes that can be uniquely identified in a Table. An Attribute is an atomic data entity that in itself is a Key-Value pair. The Key is always of String type, while the value can be of one of multiple data types. An Item is uniquely identified in a Table using a subset of its attributes called Keys. [7]
Dynamo is a set of techniques that together can form a highly available key-value structured storage system [1] or a distributed data store. [1] It has properties of both databases and distributed hash tables (DHTs). It was created to help address some scalability issues that Amazon experienced during the holiday season of 2004. [2]
The columns in a candidate key are called prime attributes, [3] and a column that does not occur in any candidate key is called a non-prime attribute. Every relation without NULL values will have at least one candidate key: Since there cannot be duplicate rows, the set of all columns is a superkey, and if that is not minimal, some subset of ...
Attribute–value pairs are widely used for diverse applications, such as configuration files (using a simple syntax like attribute = value). An example of non-database use of EAV is in UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture), a standard now managed by the Apache Foundation and employed in areas such as natural language processing.
Data is stored using two separate files: a "file" to store raw data and a "dictionary" to store the format for displaying the raw data. For example, assume there's a file (table) called "PERSON". In this file, there is an attribute called "eMailAddress". The eMailAddress field can store a variable number of email address values in a single record.
Microsoft's Entity Framework (including Code-First) has built-in support for OCC based on a binary timestamp value. [9] Most revision control systems support the "merge" model for concurrency, which is OCC. [citation needed] Mimer SQL is a DBMS that only implements optimistic concurrency control. [10] Google App Engine data store uses OCC. [11]
SQL includes operators and functions for calculating values on stored values. SQL allows the use of expressions in the select list to project data, as in the following example, which returns a list of books that cost more than 100.00 with an additional sales_tax column containing a sales tax figure calculated at 6% of the price.
NoSQL (originally referring to "non-SQL" or "non-relational") [1] is an approach to database design that focuses on providing a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases.
