Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduced forty years ago, relational databases proved unusually succe- ful and durable. However, relational database systems were not designed for modern applications and computers. As a result, specialized database systems now proliferate trying to capture various pieces of the database market. Database research is pulled into di?erent directions, and speci- ized database conferences are created. Yet the current chaos in databases is likely only temporary because every technology, including databases, becomes standardized over time. The history of databases shows periods of chaos followed by periods of dominant technologies. For example, in the early days of computing, users stored their data in text ?les in any format and organization they wanted. These early days were followed by information retrieval systems, which required some structure for text documents, such as a title, authors, and a publisher. The information retrieval systems were followed by database systems, which added even more structure to the data and made querying easier. In the late 1990s, the emergence of the Internet brought a period of relative chaos and interest in unstructured and “semistructured data” as it wasenvisionedthateverywebpagewouldbelikeapageinabook.However, with the growing maturity of the Internet, the interest in structured data was regained because the most popular websites are, in fact, based on databases. The question is not whether future data stores need structure but what structure they need.

Download or read book Introduction to Databases written by David C. Roberts and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-29 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relational database systems enable huge transaction processing applications for the largest enterprises worldwide. This textbook on relational database management, for a first graduate or advanced undergraduate course, emphasizes the skills and knowledge needed to develop these applications. The author draws upon four decades of experience, starting as employee #12 at Oracle, and later working for an organization that built complex database applications, and finally as the Enterprise Data Architect for a large organization. That experience has shown him both what is needed to be successful in developing such applications, and what graduate students typically don't learn from courses on the subject. This book gives emphasis to skills in SQL language, data modeling, normalization and performance tuning. The approach taken is to use "just enough math," presenting enough math so that the concepts are properly understood, but avoiding gratuitous proofs that are not of practical use, that commonly are found in database textbooks.

Download or read book Lightning Guide to Databases with Microsoft Access and SQL written by Arturo Azcorra and published by Arturo Azcorra-Saloña. This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 760 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is this Lightning Guide good for? The Lightning Guide to Databases with Microsoft Access and SQL is a fast and easy way to design your databases with Microsoft Access and using Structured Query Language (SQL). It is: · Very practical: based on learning-by-doing using clear database examples. · Very direct: goes straight to the point with a short and clear explanation of each topic. Each topic is later developed in deeper detail, for those interested in learning more about it. · Intended for all users: from MS-Access beginners to very experienced users. If you have some programing experience you will make the most out of this guide, and experience with spreadsheets is also useful – but neither are necessary. · Very broad: covers from the most basic questions about MS-Access, relational databases, and SQL (such as “what is a Table?”), to advanced features such as Forms, writing complex SQL Queries, Query testing, and debugging guidance. How do you use this Lightning Guide? This Lightning Guide is not designed to be read linearly like a book, and it is not intended to be read in full (although you can do both). Rather, it is written as a long list of Frequently Asked Questions, where each short section addresses a specific topic. You can just read the section or sections that are useful for you at any given moment. To easily find the solution to your specific doubt or question, this Lightning Guide is structured in short sections, each attempting to be reasonably self-contained and answering a specific question/problem that you may have. Sections include cross references to other sections, allowing you to follow up on the explanation of topics in other related sections in case you want to dig-in. There is also some redundancy between sections for the sake of self-containment, making it easier to find the desired answer as fast as possible. I therefore recommend using this Guide by searching for the specific question/problem that you have and going directly to the corresponding section. What version of Microsoft Access is this Guide for? Microsoft Access (MS-Access) is a computer program for building, maintaining and using relational databases. The explanation of the user interface and the exercises in this guide are for the 2021 English version of MS-Access 365, which is very similar to MS-Access 2019 and to MS-Access 2016. Besides, many of the concepts explained in this book are version-independent and apply to database design and database concepts themselves, being equally applicable to past and future versions. What is not in this Guide? This Lightning Guide explains in a clear, concise, and detailed way almost all MS-Access features and commands, which will allow you to exploit MS-Access in great dept. However, be aware this Guide covers Reports very lightly and does not cover macros. I would also like to clarify that this guide does not cover how to program in VBA. It explains how to use VBA code in MS-Access, and how VBA data types interact with SQL ones, but it does not provide a course on how to program in VBA. In case that you know some other imperative programming language like C or Java you will find VBA straightforward and will be able to code with it very fast using a few tips from web pages.

Download or read book Essentials of Bioinformatics Volume I written by Noor Ahmad Shaik and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-27 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bioinformatics is an integrative field of computer science, genetics, genomics, proteomics, and statistics, which has undoubtedly revolutionized the study of biology and medicine in past decades. It mainly assists in modeling, predicting and interpreting large multidimensional biological data by utilizing advanced computational methods. Despite its enormous potential, bioinformatics is not widely integrated into the academic curriculum as most life science students and researchers are still not equipped with the necessary knowledge to take advantage of this powerful tool. Hence, the primary purpose of our book is to supplement this unmet need by providing an easily accessible platform for students and researchers starting their career in life sciences. This book aims to avoid sophisticated computational algorithms and programming. Instead, it mostly focuses on simple DIY analysis and interpretation of biological data with personal computers. Our belief is that once the beginners acquire these basic skillsets, they will be able to handle most of the bioinformatics tools for their research work and to better understand their experimental outcomes. Unlike other bioinformatics books which are mostly theoretical, this book provides practical examples for the readers on state-of-the-art open source tools to solve biological problems. Flow charts of experiments, graphical illustrations, and mock data are included for quick reference. Volume I is therefore an ideal companion for students and early stage professionals wishing to master this blooming field.
Download or read book Logics for Databases and Information Systems written by Jan Chomicki and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time is ubiquitous in information systems. Almost every enterprise faces the problem of its data becoming out of date. However, such data is often valu able, so it should be archived and some means to access it should be provided. Also, some data may be inherently historical, e.g., medical, cadastral, or ju dicial records. Temporal databases provide a uniform and systematic way of dealing with historical data. Many languages have been proposed for tem poral databases, among others temporal logic. Temporal logic combines ab stract, formal semantics with the amenability to efficient implementation. This chapter shows how temporal logic can be used in temporal database applica tions. Rather than presenting new results, we report on recent developments and survey the field in a systematic way using a unified formal framework [GHR94; Ch094]. The handbook [GHR94] is a comprehensive reference on mathematical foundations of temporal logic. In this chapter we study how temporal logic is used as a query and integrity constraint language. Consequently, model-theoretic notions, particularly for mula satisfaction, are of primary interest. Axiomatic systems and proof meth ods for temporal logic [GHR94] have found so far relatively few applications in the context of information systems. Moreover, one needs to bear in mind that for the standard linearly-ordered time domains temporal logic is not re cursively axiomatizable [GHR94]' so recursive axiomatizations are by necessity incomplete.
