Summary of "MySQL - Part 3"
This video continues the discussion on database concepts, focusing primarily on the foreign key in relational database management systems (RDBMS). The key points and concepts covered include:
Main Ideas and Concepts:
- Recap of Previous Concepts:
- Database Management System (DBMS) allows users to store, modify, sort, and read records.
- Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) stores data in tables, which consist of rows and columns.
- Terminology:
- Columns = Attributes or Fields
- Rows = Tuples or Records
- Degree = Number of columns in a table
- Cardinality = Number of rows in a table
- Keys discussed earlier: Candidate key, Primary key, Alternate key.
- Introduction to foreign key:
- A foreign key is a key that creates a relationship between two tables.
- It is a non-key attribute in one table whose values are derived from the primary key of another table.
- This key helps maintain referential integrity between tables.
- The foreign key in one table corresponds to the primary key in another table.
- Example Explained:
- Two tables: Student and Faculty.
- In the Student table:
sidis the primary key.f_codeis the foreign key.
- In the Faculty table:
f_codeis the primary key.
- The foreign key
f_codein the Student table links each Student to a Faculty department. - Example: Student with
sid1001 named Ravi belongs to Facultyfa01(Computer Faculty). - This relationship allows combining data from both tables to retrieve comprehensive information like Student name, Faculty name, and email.
- Closing Remarks:
- Encourages viewers to ask questions if they have doubts.
- Announces that the next video will cover a new concept.
Methodology / Key Points to Remember:
- Understand that a foreign key:
- Is a non-primary key attribute in one table.
- References the primary key of another table.
- Establishes a link/relationship between two tables.
- Use foreign keys to maintain data consistency and referential integrity.
- When designing tables:
- Identify primary keys.
- Use foreign keys to connect related tables.
- Example usage:
- Student table’s foreign key
f_coderefers to Faculty table’s primary keyf_code.
- Student table’s foreign key
