- Definition: Relationship between attributes
- Types: Full functional dependency
...

Transaction Processing Concepts


1. Transaction System
- Definition of a transaction

2. Testing of Serializability
- Importance of serializability in concurrent transactions
3. Recoverability
- Recoverable Schedule: Transactions commit only after dependent transactions commit
4. Recovery from Transaction Failures
- Causes of transaction failure: System crash, Logical errors
...

Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) through Oracle/PL SQL


1. Distributed Database
- Definition and significance
- Key features: Data distribution, Transparency
2. Data Dictionary
- Definition: Metadata storage in Oracle
3. SQL Queries
- Basic Queries: Select, Insert, Update, Delete
- Data Extraction from Tables: Single table, Multiple tables (Equi-Join, Non-Equi Join)
4. Special Operators
- LIKE: Pattern matching
- ANY: Compares a value with any value in a subquery
5. Flashback Queries
- Definition: Retrieve past data from the database
