Database, Schema, Tables

Simple overview on Database, Schema and Tables


Hello to all visitors, Good day. We can read a lot about the database and schema throughout a day. But, I skimmed the concept for our easy understanding. To get more ideas, you can access other websites where plenty of explanations are available.  

 Database is a collection of organized data which can be related to each other.
The description of a database is called schema. Database is like a main folder or a big container which contains all the schemas in it and schemas are like subfolders within a database folder which are mainly used to group objects together logically where we can easily reach and fetch specific data from the vast amount of stored data. Here object refers to a table, views etc. 
 We can also give permissions to specific users to access the data (say read only or read, write) in the same schema.

Tables are the most significant component of a relational database and there are other components such as views where it can be used mostly to view the particular data pulled from some tables. For example, the viewers will be given selected names of customers and their passwords will not be provided or displayed in views due to security reasons. Views are temporary stuffs where there is no memory is allocated for it in a database.
Inside schemas, there may be one or more tables that comprises of rows and columns. Rows can also be called as records and columns can also be called as attributes.

Thank you for reading the article.
