7. Relational, Object‐Oriented, and Multidimensional Databases

7.1. A data model consists of rules and standards that define how the database organizes data

7.2. A relational database stores data in tables that consist of rows and columns

7.2.1. Each row has a primary key

7.2.2. Each column has a unique name

7.3. A relationship is a link within the data

7.4. Structured Query Language (SQL) is a query language that allows users to manage, update, and retrieve data

7.5. An object‐oriented database (OODB) stores data in objects

7.6. Examples of applications appropriate for an object‐oriented database include

7.6.1. Multimedia database

7.6.2. Groupware databas

7.6.3. Computer‐aided design databas

7.6.4. Hypertext database

7.7. A multidimensional database can store data in more than two dimensions of data

7.7.1. Sometimes known as a hypercube

7.7.2. Can consolidate data much faster than a relational database

7.8. A data warehouse is a huge database that stores and manages the data required to analyze historical and current transactions

10.2.4. Share data

10.2.5. Allows easier access

10.2.6. Reduces development time

10.2.7. Can be more vulnerable

11. Database Management Systems

11.1. A data dictionary contains data about each file in the database and each field in those file

11.2. A DBMS provides several tools that allow users and programs to retrieve and maintain data in the databas

11.3. A query language consists of simple, English‐like statements that allow users to specify the data to display, print, or store

11.4. Query by example (QBE) provides a GUI to assist users with retrieving data

11.5. A form is a window on the screen that provides areas for entering or modifying data in a database

11.6. A report generator allows users to design a report on the screen, retrieve data into the report design, and then display or print the report

11.7. A DBMS provides means to ensure that only authorized users access data at permitted time

11.8. A DMBS provides a variety of techniques to restore the database to a usable form in case it is damaged or destroyed

12. Databases on the Web allow you to

12.1. Shop for products or services
