SQLUniqueness constraintEdgar Codd introduced the principle of entity integrity in the context of his relational model of data. The principle says that every targeted real-world entity should be uniquely represented in the database. In actual database systems, entity integrity is typically enforced ...
Improper use can lead to missing constraints in the database schema, so reviewing the generated SQL scripts to ensure they align with the expected design is important. As a best practice, instead of placing all the configurations inside the OnModelCreating() method, we can extract them into ...
Entity Framework Core allows you to specify check constraints in SQL - this helps tighten your data model and ensure that no inconsistent or invalid ever makes it into your precious tables. However, EF does not implicitly generate check constraints for you, even though in some cases it could;...
Tables that map to the same bean must not have referential integrity constraints declared between their primary keys. If they do, removal of a bean instance can result in a runtime error. You map the cmp-fields of a bean to the columns of a table using the table-map element in weblogic...
After a many-to-many relationship, one of the more difficult relationships to express in SQL is a recursive relationship. This is a nonidentifying, nonmandatory relationship in which the same entity is both the parent and the child. Figure 8.10 shows the entity DimEmployee, with EmployeeKey be...
The purpose of entity identifiers in database design is to uniquely distinguish each record (or instance) within a table or entity. These identifiers, often called primary keys, play a crucial role in ensuring the integrity and structure of the database. Here's why entity identifiers are ...

Embodiments extend the relational model and language of standard SQL, to recognize features of higher level entity-relationship models (ERMs). SQL extensions implemented in the data
