Sql Columns Quotes

Features of Cassandra In order to keep this chapter short, the following bullet list covers the great features provided by Cassandra: Written in Java and hence providing native Java support Blend of Google BigTable and Amazon Dynamo Flexible schemaless column-family data model Support for structured and unstructured data Decentralized, distributed peer-to-peer architecture Multi-data center and rack-aware data replication Location transparent Cloud enabled Fault-tolerant with no single point of failure An automatic and transparent failover Elastic, massively, and linearly scalable Online node addition or removal High Performance Built-in data compression Built-in caching layer Write-optimized Tunable consistency providing choices from very strong consistency to different levels of eventual consistency Provision of Cassandra Query Language (CQL), a SQL-like language imitating INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, SELECT syntax of SQL Open source and community-driven

In a RDBMS, since all the column names and types are defined at the table level, this information does not need to be replicated in each row. MongoDB, by contrast, doesn’t know, at the collection level, what fields are present in each document, nor does it know their types, so this information must be stored on a per-document basis.

The presence of a column named id in every table is so common that this has become synonymous with a primary key. Programmers learning SQL get the false idea that a primary key always means a column defined in this manner.

When you execute a program that retrieves a small subset of rows from a large table, it can be time-consuming for PROC SQL to read the rows sequentially. In some situations, using an index on a table allows PROC SQL to access a subset of rows more efficiently. An index stores unique values for a specified column or columns in ascending value order, and includes information about the location of those values in the table. That is, an index is composed of value/identifier pairs that enable you to access a row directly, by value. For example, suppose you have created an index on your table that is based
