Order by is a clause in SQL. It is used to sort the result set of a query in either ascending or descending order. It can sort using one or more columns. In this article, we will discuss the Order by clause in MS SQL Server. Syntax The syntax for using the Order by clause in MS SQL Server is as follows − SELECT column1, column2, ... FROM table_name ORDER BY column1 [ASC|DESC], column2 [ASC|DESC], ...; Explanation of Syntax SELECT column1, column2, ... : Specifies the columns that we want to retrieve from the table. FROM table_name: Specifies ... Read More

According to many technical and research organizations, nowadays, cloud computing systems are dealing with a lot of data across multiple cloud organizations. It is hard for these organizations to deploy, ship, and maintain various versions of containers that perform specific tasks. It is difficult for managing large amounts of data across multiple systems. It can cause problems with management, coherence, and security. To solve these problems, organizations have come up with a new approach called Cloud Orchestration. This helps to manage and organize the cloud-based structure. Orchestration in Cloud Computing Orchestration automats and coordinates the deployment and configuration It manages ... Read More

Oracle Label-Based Security (OLS) is a feature of the Oracle Database that provides fine-grained access control over sensitive data based on security labels. This feature enables organizations to enforce access control policies based on the sensitivity of the data rather than the traditional approach of user roles and privileges. In this article, we will discuss how Oracle Label-Based Security works and its benefits. Oracle Label-Based Security Oracle Label-Based Security works by assigning a security label to each row of data in a table. The label identifies the sensitivity level of the data, such as confidential, secret, or top secret. Each ... Read More

Cassandra is a distributed NoSQL database system. It offers high scalability, availability, and fault-tolerance. It uses a decentralized architecture, where data is distributed across multiple nodes, and provides several operations to manipulate data. In this article, we will discuss operations on tables in Cassandra. Creating Tables The first operation in Cassandra is to create a table. A table is defined by set of columns. Each column has name, data type, and an optional value. To create a table, you need to specify the keyspace. It is namespace that defines the replication strategy, and the table name. You also need to ... Read More

Retrieval and Update Operations When we work with files, we usually do two types of operations: retrieval and update. Retrieval operations help us find specific records in the file and look at their data. Update operations change the file by adding, removing, or modifying records. Selection Conditions To do either operation, we may need to specify a condition that the records must meet. For example, we might want to retrieve all the records where the salary is greater than or equal to $30, 000. This is called a selection condition. Selection conditions can be simple or complex. A simple condition ... Read More

On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) System is a type of computer system that helps manage transaction-related tasks. These systems are made to quickly handle transactions and queries on the internet. For instance, supermarket's POS (point of sale) system is an example of an OLTP system. Almost every industry nowadays uses OLTP systems to keep track of their transactional data. OLTP systems mainly focus on entering, storing, and retrieving data, which includes daily operations like purchasing, manufacturing, payroll, accounting, etc. Many users use these systems for short transactions. They support simple database queries, which makes it easier for users to get ... Read More

Online Analytical Processing Server (OLAP) is used to enable users to perform analysis on information retrieved from multiple database systems concurrently. It operates on a multidimensional data model. Users can write query data across multiple dimensions, such as location, time, and categories (e.g., Hyderabad-> 2017 -> Sales data). In OLAP, databases are organized into one or more cubes. These cubes are known as Hyper-cubes and represent a multi-dimensional array of data. Each cell within the array corresponds to specific combination of dimension values. The dimensions define the characteristics or attributes. Data can be sliced and diced for analysis by attributes. ... Read More

OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) is data processing technique. It is used to query and analyze data. It analyze data in real time from multiple sources. In 1993, EF Codd introduced 12 rules for the relational database model for OLAP systems. These rules are known as "Codd’s rules". These rules serve as a guideline for the design and development of OLAP systems. In this article, we will explore these 12 rules developed by Codd. Codd’s rules These are 12 rules for OLAP systems, as proposed by E.F. Codd − Multidimensional Conceptual View OLAP system should provide multidimensional conceptual view of ... Read More

Offset-Fetch is feature in MS SQL Server. It helps to retrieve subset of rows from result set. It consists of two components: OFFSET and FETCH. The OFFSET clause specifies the number of rows to skip from the beginning of the result set. FETCH clause determines the number of rows to retrieve. Syntax SELECT column1, column2, ... FROM table ORDER BY column OFFSET {integer_value} {ROWS | ROWS ONLY} FETCH {FIRST | NEXT} {integer_value} {ROWS | ROWS ONLY} ONLY; Explanation of Syntax SELECT column1, column2, ...: Specifies the columns to be selected from the table. FROM table Specifies the table from ... Read More

In DBMS, there are object-relational features that combine elements of object databases with SQL. SQL language is used for relational databases, and it has evolved over time. In the latest standard called SQL:2008, object features have been incorporated, although not all commercial DBMSs have implemented these features yet. Object-relational model refers to the combination of the relational model and object database enhancements. SQL has undergone revisions to include features related to XML as well. Here are some of the object database features included in SQL: Type Constructors New type constructors have been added to specify complex objects. For example, the ... Read More
