  2. MultiDimensional eXpressions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiDimensional_eXpressions

    The MultiDimensional eXpressions (MDX) language provides a specialized syntax for querying and manipulating the multidimensional data stored in OLAP cubes. [1] While it is possible to translate some of these into traditional SQL, it would frequently require the synthesis of clumsy SQL expressions even for very simple MDX expressions.

  3. 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.

  4. Database model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_model

    As a result, each tuple of the employee table represents various attributes of a single employee. All relations (and, thus, tables) in a relational database have to adhere to some basic rules to qualify as relations. First, the ordering of columns is immaterial in a table. Second, there can not be identical tuples or rows in a table.

  5. Relational model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_model

    The body is a set of tuples. A tuple is a collection of n values, where n is the relation's degree, and each value in the tuple corresponds to a unique attribute. [6] The number of tuples in this set is the relation's cardinality. [7]: 17–22 Relations are represented by relational variables or relvars, which can be reassigned.

  6. Database normalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization

    Database normalization is the process of structuring a relational database 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.

  7. Row (database) - Wikipedia

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

    A database table can be thought of as consisting of rows and columns. [1] Each row in a table represents a set of related data, and every row in the table has the same structure. For example, in a table that represents companies, each row might represent a single company. Columns might represent things like company name, address, etc.

  8. 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 .

  9. Slowly changing dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowly_changing_dimension

    The null End_Date in row two indicates the current tuple version. A standardized surrogate high date (e.g. 9999-12-31) may instead be used as an end date, so that the field can be included in an index, and so that null-value substitution is not required when querying.
