I. Column Oriented Database A column-oriented DBMS is a database management system (DBMS) that stores data tables as sections of columns of data rather than as rows of data. In comparison‚ most relational DBMSs store data in rows. This column-oriented DBMS has advantages for data warehouses‚ customer relationship management (CRM) systems‚ and library card catalogs‚ and other ad hoc inquiry systems where aggregates are computed over large numbers of similar data items. It is possible to achieve

Comparing and Contrasting the Relational Database Model and OO Model The relational database model is based upon tables or relations. In this model‚ the physical implementation of the database is abstracted away from the user. Users query the database using a high-level query language‚ such as SQL. The relations are made up of columns‚ which have headings indicating the attribute represented by that column. Tables have key fields‚ which can be used to identify unique records. Keys relate tables

A relationship is an important component of a relational database. A relationship exists between two tables when one or more key fields from one table are matched to one or more key fields in another table. The fields in both tables usually have the same name‚ data type‚ and size. It also helps to further refine table structures and minimize redundant data. The purpose of a query is to retrieve information from a table or tables‚ which can be based on some type of criteria. To put it simply‚ a query
