Indexes duplicate the column data in a separate structure and hold for each distinct value a list of pointers to the table records. But if we have indexes on the FIRST_NAME column, then the database will know where to find all the employees named John without having to scan the whole table. This can be time-consuming if the databaseĬontains many entries. Will have to scan all the data before finding every employee named John. It is a list of values from a column with a reference to the position where they can be found in the column.įor example, consider that we want to select every employee with the name of John. In a relational database, the index is similar to a table of contents in a book. The virtual foreign key can be used only for design purposes or for relational data editor, which we'll explain later.
#Dbschema set primary key verification#
In this case, no data verification will be done in the database. Virtual means that the foreign key is created only in Db Schema. Set Null - if customers are deleted, then the employees belonging to the customers will be Set Null, but not deleted.įor this tutorial, we'll select No Action.Cascade - all employees belonging to a customer will be deleted or updated.No Action - nothing will happen if a customer is deleted or updated.
#Dbschema set primary key update#
The On Delete and On Update drop-downs, refer to an action taken on a value if a customer is deleted or updated. In the Definition section, we have to define the two tables and columns that will be connected through the foreign key. The action was done using drag & drop, therefore Db Schema automatically completed most of the details needed. If a table holds zero rows, then that table is said to be empty.Įvery row is uniquely identified by a primary key, which can be one or more sets of column values. Column names can't be duplicated in a table.Įvery table has a primary key column, that uniquely identifies the data in the table. The table is one of the primary components of a relational database.Įach table is made up of columns and rows.Ĭolumns are defined to hold a specific type of data such as numeric, dates or text. The next step is to populate the database with tables and data.įirst of all, what is a table? A database table is where all the data in a relational database is stored. Make sure Public is selected, and click Ok. A new dialogue box will appear, asking you to create a new file for your database.Īfter you created the new file, click on Connect.Ī new dialogue box will appear. In the Database section, click on Create new. If not, click on the dropdown menu and select File.
#Dbschema set primary key driver#
In the Method & Driver field, the File driver should be selected. In the RDBMS field, choose the H2 option. You can choose whatever name you like, but for this tutorial, we recommend that you stick with H2. The Alias field is used for naming your database.
