Chapter 1 SymfoW ARE/RDB Overview SymfoW AR E/RDB provides functions for creating a databa se, managing a database, an d manipulating database data. Before creating a database, the user must design the database structur e and d efine the database based on this database structure design s pecifications. Then, the user must generate the database base[...]

[Figure: SymfoW ARE/RDB functions configur ation] Functions for defining t able format s (database definition) T o create a database, first define the tabl e formats. 2.2 "Designing a Database," explains the kinds of formats used for tables. RDB commands are used to execute database d efiniti ons. For information about how to use actual R[...]

Functions for manipulating t a bles (t able manipulation) Data manipulation SQL st atements are used to insert, alter , delete, and refere nce data in tables. These SQL statements are used within application programs. For informa tion abo ut how to develop application pr ograms that use data manipulation SQL statements, refer to the "RDB User&[...]

[Figure: Relationship of logical, storage, and phy sical structures within databa ses] 1.2.1 Physical structure The physical structure consists of database spaces. Dat abase sp ace Under UNIX, a database space is defined on a ra w device created on a magnetic disk; un der Windows NT/2000/ XP , a database space is defined in a local file created on [...]

[Figure: Example of correspondenc e between schemas and dat abase sp aces] Base t able A base table consists of columns and ro ws. Figure: Base table format e xample is a base table format example. In this figure, one row consists of the data for one product. T he data of a single row consists of several columns. A column corresponds to a data item[...]

updated. Column constraint: A column constraint defines a constr aint condition on table creation. One such condition may be "each row must have a value stored in the relevant column." Another condition may be "more than one row cannot hav e the same value in the relevant column." T able constraint A table constraint enables the[...]

index for each column of a table. Multiple columns also can be combined and spec ified as a single index. Searching a column for which no index h as been created is less efficient than searching a column ha ving an index. Thus, an inde x must be created for a column used as a data search key . Ho wever , whenever an inde x is created, additional da[...]

1.2.3 Storage structure The storage structure consists of DSOs and DSIs. DSO A DSO defines the storage stru cture of the data for a base table. T he two types of DSOs are as follows: · T able · Index Ta b l e D S O A table DSO defines the type of stora g e structure for storing data, and, if data is subdivided for storage, the subdivision method.[...]

[Figure: Example in which DSOs and DSIs are associated in a 1:n corr espondence] As Figure: S torage structure c omponents shows, the four types of storage structures are SEQ UENTIAL, RANDOM, OBJECT , and BTREE. The SEQUENTIAL, RANDOM, and OBJECT structures are used as storage structures for tables. The BTREE structure is used as a storage structur[...]
