Introduction to Relational algebra & Relational calculus

  Capgemini - Oracle training at  Chennai Freshers intake 2018 Introduction to Relational algebra & Relational calculus In this guide, we will discuss what is  Relational algebra and relational calculus  and why we use these concepts. In the previous tutorials, we discussed the designing of database using  Relational model ,  E-R diagram  and  normalization . Now that we have designed the database, we need to store and retrieve data from the database, for this purpose we need to understand the concept of Relational algebra and relational calculus. Let’s start with the basics. Query Language In simple words, a Language which is used to store and retrieve data from database is known as query language. For example –  SQL There are two types of query language: 1.Procedural Query language 2.Non-procedural query language 1. Procedural Query language: In procedural query language, user instructs the system to perform a series of operations to pr...

Active Database

Oracle Freshers training , Cognizant - Calcutta Active Database An active Database is a database consisting of a set of triggers. These databases are very difficult to be maintained because of the complexity that arises in understanding the effect of these triggers. In such database, DBMS initially verifies whether the particular trigger specified in the statement that modifies the database is activated or not, prior to executing the statement. If the trigger is active then DBMS executes the condition part and then executes the action part only if the specified condition is evaluated to true. It is possible to activate more than one trigger within a single statement. In such situation, DBMS processes each of the trigger randomly. The execution of an action part of a trigger may either activate other triggers or the same trigger that Initialized this action. Such types of trigger that activates itself is called as ‘recursive trigger’. The DBMS executes such chains of trigger in some pre...
