Data Anomalies Normalization is the process of splitting relations into well-structured relations that allow users to inset‚ delete‚ and update tuples without introducing database inconsistencies. Without normalization many problems can occur when trying to load an integrated conceptual model into the DBMS. These problems arise from relations that are generated directly from user views are called anomalies. There are three types of anomalies: update‚ deletion and insertion anomalies. An update anomaly

A glimpse of Big Data Jan. 2013 What is big data? “Big data is not a precise term; rather it’s a characterization of the never ending accumulation of all kinds of data‚ most of it unstructured.

Data Mining Abdullah Alshawdhabi Coleman University Simply stated data mining refers to extracting or mining knowledge from large amounts of it. The term is actually a misnomer. Remember that the mining of gold from rocks or sand is referred to as gold mining rather than rock or sand mining. Thus‚ data mining should have been more appropriately named “knowledge mining from data‚” which is unfortunately somewhat long. Knowledge mining‚ a shorter term‚ may not

DATA DICTIONARY Data Dictionaries‚ a brief explanation Data dictionaries are how we organize all the data that we have into information. We will define what our data means‚ what type of data it is‚ how we can use it‚ and perhaps how it is related to other data. Basically this is a process in transforming the data ‘18’ or ‘TcM’ into age or username‚ because if we are presented with the data ‘18’‚ that can mean a lot of things… it can be an age‚ a prefix or a suffix of a telephone number‚ or basically
