  2. Database theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_theory

    Database theory encapsulates a broad range of topics related to the study and research of the theoretical realm of databases and database management systems.. Theoretical aspects of data management include, among other areas, the foundations of query languages, computational complexity and expressive power of queries, finite model theory, database design theory, dependency theory, foundations ...

  3. Database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database

    Formally, a "database" refers to a set of related data accessed through the use of a "database management system" (DBMS), which is an integrated set of computer software that allows users to interact with one or more databases and provides access to all of the data contained in the database (although restrictions may exist that limit access to particular data).

  4. Outline of databases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_databases

    The following is provided as an overview of and topical guide to databases: Database – organized collection of data, today typically in digital form. The data are typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality (for example, the availability of rooms in hotels), in a way that supports processes requiring this information (for example, finding a hotel with vacancies).

  5. Data engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_engineering

    Around the 1970s/1980s the term information engineering methodology (IEM) was created to describe database design and the use of software for data analysis and processing. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] These techniques were intended to be used by database administrators (DBAs) and by systems analysts based upon an understanding of the operational processing ...

  6. Data processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_processing

    In science and engineering, the terms data processing and information systems are considered too broad, and the term data processing is typically used for the initial stage followed by a data analysis in the second stage of the overall data handling.

  7. Data modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_modeling

    Data modeling in software engineering is the process of creating a data model for an information system by applying certain formal techniques. It may be applied as part of broader Model-driven engineering (MDE) concept.

  8. Data management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_management

    Since it was now possible to store a discrete fact and quickly access it using random access disk technology, those suggesting that data management was more important than business process management used arguments such as "a customer's home address is stored in 75 (or some other large number) places in our computer systems."

  9. Semantic data model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_data_model

    An SDM database description can serve as a formal specification and documentation tool for a database; it can provide a basis for supporting a variety of powerful user interface facilities, it can serve as a conceptual database model in the database design process; and, it can be used as the database model for a new kind of database management ...
