What is PL/SQL?

July 11th, 2009

What is GROUP BY clause?

June 18th, 2009

The GROUP BY clause groups selected rows on the basis of values of specified column(s) for each row, and returns a single row of summary information for each group. Rows that have the same values in the specified grouping column(s) are grouped together. The GROUP BY clause suppresses duplicate rows for the grouping column(s). It does not guarantee the order of the result set. Therefore, an ORDER BY clause should be used with the GROUP BY clause to sort the result set in the desired order.

What is normalization?

June 18th, 2009

Normalization is the method used to optimize databases. It is important to implement a reasonable level of normalization by creating more tables that contain fewer columns and by defining a relationship between the tables. Normalizing a logical database design involves use of formal methods to separate the data into multiple, related tables. These methods are called normalization rules.
