Triggers in Structured Query Language (SQL) are procedural code that executes automatically in response to certain events on a table in a database, helping enforce business logic and maintain data integrity. Triggers can be used for tracking changes made in tables as well as validating data before inserting or updating. They’re also extremely useful for

When your website is data-driven, SQL Injection can become an attack vector of immense consequence. Through its vulnerabilities, attackers gain the ability to inject code directly into your database control plane in order to execute commands they would have difficulty doing otherwise. A successful attack could allow attackers access to user lists, table deletion or

Views in SQL are virtual tables created on top of tables within a database, used to disguise complex select queries from end-users or applications and restrict access to specific columns or rows within tables; providing an extra layer of security by only showing data that meets certain criteria to users. Views may also reduce the

Normalizing databases reduces redundancy, improves data consistency and simplifies query performance while simultaneously increasing storage space and query complexity. In this article we will look at what normalization is and its various forms, as well as why its importance. Normalizing databases serves to reduce redundancy by isolating related information into separate tables. This ensures that

SQL is a programming language designed to manage relational database data. It consists of three parts, such as Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Manipulation Language (DML), and Transaction Control Language (TCL). Data stored in relational database systems is typically organized into tables linked by relationships; SQL statements can then be used to manipulate this information

SQL is an extremely versatile language for creating databases. It enables users to construct tables containing information that adheres to a range of business rules, and which can easily be retrieved from the database. To ensure insertions, updates, or deletions adhere to these rules without disrupting integrity, SQL Constraints have been placed upon tables/columns in

A schema in SQL is the logical arrangement of database objects such as tables, views, stored procedures, indexes and constraints that form part of any relational database management system (RDBMS). A poorly designed schema can have severe adverse impacts on its performance.
