How to check for View Serializable and Conflict Serializable — djitz.com. 306 Email Share This is a note for myself about how to check whether a schedule is view serializable, conflict serializable, or not. There is various resources in the internet about how to do this, but the examples are a bit scattered, so in this post I just want to make a neat note on how to do it properly with several examples that can cover many possibilities as well. Let’s get started! For the sake of this tutorial, we will use this example: R1(X),R2(Y),R2(Y),W2(X),W3(Y),R1(X) or if we spread it to three different transactions, it will be: How to check for Conflict Serializable? To check for conflict serializability takes two steps. (From Wikipedia) —————————————————— Two or more actions are said to be in conflict if: 1.

The following set of actions is conflicting: While the following sets of actions are not: For our example, we have a conflict on X (T1 reads it and T2 writes it). So it has a conflict property but is it serializable? Step #2 : Check for a cycle in the Precedence Graph. SQL: Schemas, Queries, Updates, Views. SQL: Schemas, Queries, Updates, Views SQL = Structured Query Language (sometimes called "sequel"). SQL is an ANSI/ISO standard language for querying and manipulating relational DBMSs. Designed to be a "human readable" language comprising: data definition facilities database modification operations database query operations, including: relational algebra, set operations, aggregation, grouping, ... SQL was developed at IBM (San Jose Lab) during the 1970's, and standardised in 1986. DBMSs typically implement the SQL2 standard (aka SQL-92). Unfortunately, they also: implement a (large) subset of the standard extend the standard in various "useful" ways SQL (in some form) looks likely to survive in the next generation of database systems.

In these slides, we try to use only standard (portable) SQL2. Since SQL2, there have been three new proposed standards: SQL:1999 added e.g. boolean and BLOB types, arrays/rows, ... Major DBMSs (Oracle, DB2, SQLServer, PostgreSQL MySQL): Relational algebra:

Overview of Lecture: o Types of Joins o Relational Calculus o Normalization In the previous lecture we have studied the basic operators of relational algebra along with different examples. Which are very important and are used extensively in relational calculus.

Types of Joins Join is a special form of cross product of two tables. Allows combining certain selections and a Cartesian product into one operation. Join operation forms a Cartesian product of its two arguments, performs a selection forcing equality on those attributes that appear in both relation schemas, and finally removes duplicate attributes. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

We will now discuss them one by one Theta Join: In theta join we apply the condition on input relation(s) and then only those selected product with second relation. Rows of second relation. Dept. 2 Explain the three level architecture of DBMS. Data and Related Structures Data are actually stored as bits, or numbers and strings, but it is difficult to work with data at this level.It is necessary to view data at different levels of abstraction. Schema: Description of data at some level. Each level has its own schema.We will be concerned with three forms of schemas:physical,conceptual, andexternal. Physical Data Level The physical schema describes details of how data is stored: files, indices, etc. on the random access disk system. Conceptual Data Level Hides details of the physical level.In the relational model, the conceptual schema presents data as a set of tables.The DBMS maps data access between the conceptual to physical schemas automatically.Physical schema can be changed without changing application:DBMS must change mapping from conceptual to physical.Referred to as physical data independence.

External Data Level In the relational model, the external schema also presents data as a set of relations. Data Model Data Independence. 3. What is the difference between logical data independence and physical data independence? Give examples. Logical Data Independence: Logical data independence is the ability to modify the conceptual schema without having alteration in external schemas or application programs. Alterations in the conceptual schema may include addition or deletion of fresh entities, attributes or relationships and should be possible without having alteration to existing external schemas or having to rewrite application programs.

Physical Data Independence: Physical data independence is the ability to modify the inner schema without having alteration to the conceptual schemas or application programs. Alteration in the internal schema might include. . * Using new storage devices.

A database system needs to be able to enforce business rules. Foreign key constraints used for maintaining Referential integrity is one way Oracle provides for maintaining business rules. Relational systems allow the enforcement of business rules with constraints, and referential integrity rules form the backbone of relational tables.

Many applications do not use foreign key referential integrity and, instead, rely upon application code to enforce business rules. Referential-integrity constraints are based on the concept of a foreign key. A foreign key is a column or set of columns in one table that refer to the primary key of another table. The reference from the foreign key to the primary key is the mechanism whereby the relationships between the occurrences of rows in the two tables are enforced. Creating Foreign key constraints: Referential integrity (RI) rules ensure that one-to-many relationships are enforced within the relational schema.
