Explanation of Solution

Database:

Database is the organized collection of associated data elements which is used to have the record of things or items of interest.

  • It is often defined as the structure to hold the data...

Explanation of Solution

Entity:

The basic block for building the data collected about person, place, event, or thing is called as entity.

  • Entities denote attributes that can have many instances.
  • Entity is about the gathering of the information about the place, person, or thing. For example: a patient, a musician, and so on.
  • To locate the information in the entity, they have a name, short description about what they are and identifier.
  • Identifiers are used to find each and every specific instance of an entity.
  • So, it is the purpose of having identifiers with unique values.

Example:

The example of an entity is given below:

  • STUDENT – the student is the person name that collects the details of student information. So the STUDENT acts as the entity.
  • EMPLOYEE - the employee is the person name that collects the details of employee information. So the EMPLOYEE acts as the entity...

Explanation of Solution

Relational database:

  • Relational database is a set of multiple data organized by tables, records, and columns and it creates the relationship between the database tables.
  • The individual value in table provides the link from one table to another.

Storage of data in relational database:

  • Relational database is a database which organizes data according to the relational model as table and table consists of rows and columns.
    • A data in a row or a column of a table is called fields.
    • Fields in a database table are also referred as attributes of a database object...

Explanation of Solution

Role of Entity-relationship diagram in database:

An entity-relationship diagram represents the important elements of database in a graphical form.

  • Entity-relationship (ER) diagram is the technique used to design the relational database.
  • ER diagram is useful to create the data model, which serves business process. Additionally, the diagram ensures whether data is accurate, well-formed and easy for retrieval.
  • An Entity-relationship diagram is represented in the graphical form that shows only important elements such as:
    • Record types
    • Attributes
    • Relationship between entities
  • For example, consider the following diagram:
    • The rectangular box represents the entities such as Customer and Account.
    • The oval symbol represents the attributes such as Firstname, Customer _id, Address, Username and Password.
    • The diamond symbol represents the relationship between two entities.
      • Here, it shows the one-to-one relationship between the Customer and Account.
        • The relationship shows that one customer is allowed to access the one account.

Role of normalization in database:

Normalization is a process of dividing the tables by more than one idea into set of tables such that each and every table contains only one idea...

This is a question that I have and would like someone who has experiences with scene graphs and entity component systems to answer.For context, I am currently implementing a game engine and currently I am debating on our current design.Our current design is we have a singular game component class that every component inherits from. Where we have components like SpriteRendererComponent, Mehs Component, etc. They inherit from this GameComponent class. The point of this is being able to have O(1) access to the scene to being able to modify components to attach more components with the idea of accessing those components to specific scene objects in a scene.Now, my question is what kinds of caveauts can this cause in terms of cache coherence? I am well aware that yes its O(1) and that is great but cache coherence is going to be really bad, but would like to know more explicit details and real-life examples such as write in RAM examples on how this is bad. A follow-up question that is part…
