Are there any major similiarities between object oriented databases and relational databases?
In a Object Oriented Database, information is given in the form of objects as used in programming languages. "When database capabilities are combined with object programming language capabilities, the result is an object database management system (ODBMS). An ODBMS makes database objects appear as programming language objects in one or more object programming languages." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_database)"A relational database is a database that conforms to the relational model, and refers to a database's data and schema (the database's structure of how those data are arranged). Common usage of the term "Relational database management system" technically refers to the software used to create a relational database, but sometimes mistakenly refers to a relational database." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database)
What is a relational database query and Explain with an example?
A relational database matches data by using common characteristics found within the data set. The resulting groups of data are organized and are much easier for many people to understand.For example, a data set containing all the real-estate transactions in a town can be grouped by the year each transaction occurred, the sale price, a buyer's last name and so on. Such a grouping uses the relational model (a technical term for this is schema). Hence, such a database is called a "relational database."The software used to do this grouping is called a relational database management system (RDBMS). The term "relational database" often refers to this type of software.Relational databases are currently the predominant choice in storing data like financial records, medical records, personal information and manufacturing and logistical data.
I've been told I need to use a "relational" database instead of Excel, what does that term mean?
A "relational" database is a program that matches data by using common characteristics found within the set of data. They are used mostly for storing financial records.
Who coined the term relational database?
I don't know that he specifically coined the term, but E. F. Codd is generally considered to be the father of relational databases.

What is the meaning of the term stored procedure?

What are flat files?
In database management, a flat file is one that holds all the information in a single table.By contrast, a relational database has two or more tables having a defined relationship to each other.A flat file is not related to any other table.ExamplesFlat fileYou could keep details of a DVD collection in a flat file. Some of the fields might be:titledate purchasedlengthyear issuedRelational databaseA retail business might have a database with three tables:products [one record for each type of item for sale]customersproducts&customers [each sale constitutes a record in this table. The table is related (linked) to each of the other two tables]Tables and files"Table" is a database term, "file" a computer term. Some database management programs make each table into a separate file. Others store all the tables in a single file.
What do you understand by file?
explain the term file explain the term file it means the document i think... love monkey :)
Database management the origin and its growth in sql?
E. F. Codd introduced the term in his seminal paper "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks", published in 1970. In this paper and later papers he defined what he meant by relational. One well-known definition of what constitutes a relational database system is Codd's 12 rules. However, many of the early implementations of the relational model did not conform to all of Codd's rules, so the term gradually came to describe a broader class of database systems. Relational databases, as implemented in relational database management systems, have become a predominant choice for the storage of information in new databases used for financial records, manufacturing and logistical information, personnel data and much more. Relational databases have often replaced legacy hierarchical databases and network databases because they are easier to understand and use, even though they are much less efficient. As computer power has increased, the inefficiencies of relational databases, which made them impractical in earlier times, have been outweighed by their ease of use. However, relational databases have been challenged by Object Databases, which were introduced in an attempt to address the object-relational impedance mismatch in relational database, and XML databases. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_...
