总是在说要学数据库，记得一位老师给我们说过在大学学会一门编程语言，外加数据库，最后学好网络编程，那我们在毕业后找工作时是很容易的。学习了有一段时间的数据库了，但总是在认识名词，像ADO（ActiveX Data Object）、DAO（Data Access Object）、RDO（Remote Data Object）、ODBC（Open Database Connectivity）、OLEDB（Object Linking and Embedding, Database）等等，但一直迷惑我的是数据库到底是什么，它是干什么的，在此我有必要好好了解下。
在计算机课本中数据库是被这样解释的：数据库是计算机应用系统中的一种专门管理数据资源的系统。数据有多种形式，如文字、数码、符号、图形、图像以及声音等。数据是所有计算机系统所要处理的对象。人们所熟知的一种处理办法是制作文件，即将处理过程编成程序文件，将所涉及的数据按程序要求组织成数据文件，用程序文件来调用。数据文件与程序文件保持着一定的对应关系。在计算机应用迅速发展的情况下，这种文件式方法便显出不足。比如，它使得数据通用性差，不便于移植，在不同文件中存储大量重复信息、浪费存储空间、更新不便等。数据库系统便能解决上述问题。数据库系统不从具体的应用程序出发，而是立足于数据本身的管理，它将所有数据保存在数据库中，进行科学的组织，并借助于数据库管理系统，以它为中介，与各种应用程序或应用系统接口，使之能方便地使用数据库中的数据。
其实通俗点解释数据库就是"按照数据结构来组织、存储和管理数据的仓库",在经济管理的日常工作中，常常需要把某些相关的数据放进这样"仓库"，并根据管理的需要进行相应的处理。例如，一些单位常常要把职工的基本情况(比如姓名、性别、年龄、工资、基本状况等)存放在表中，这张表就可以看成是一个数据库，通过它就可以根据需要随时查询某职工的基本情况，也可以查询某个年龄段内的职工人数等等。这些工作如果都能在计算机上自动进行，那我们的人事管理就可以达到极高的水平。此外，在财务管理、仓库管理、生产管理等管理事业中也需要建立众多的这种"数据库"，使其可以利用计算机实现财务、仓库、生产的自动化管理。 说白了，数据库就像是按行列顺序排列的很科学的数据集合。可以随时按某种顺序（或行或列）进行添加，想用时随时可以按任意一种顺序读取数据，十分方便。
看了这么多估计你也眼花缭乱了，其实简单地说数据库就是一组经过计算机整理后的数据，存储在一个或多个文件中，而管理这个数据库的软件就称之为数据库管理系统。一般一个数据库系统（Database System）可分为数据库（Database）与数据管理系统（Database Management System，DBMS）两个部分。 是不是对数据库有了初步的了解呢

iOS 18 adds a new 'Recovered' album function to retrieve lost or damaged photos
Jul 18, 2024 am 05:48 AM
Apple's latest releases of iOS18, iPadOS18 and macOS Sequoia systems have added an important feature to the Photos application, designed to help users easily recover photos and videos lost or damaged due to various reasons. The new feature introduces an album called "Recovered" in the Tools section of the Photos app that will automatically appear when a user has pictures or videos on their device that are not part of their photo library. The emergence of the "Recovered" album provides a solution for photos and videos lost due to database corruption, the camera application not saving to the photo library correctly, or a third-party application managing the photo library. Users only need a few simple steps
How does Hibernate implement polymorphic mapping?
Apr 17, 2024 pm 12:09 PM
Hibernate polymorphic mapping can map inherited classes to the database and provides the following mapping types: joined-subclass: Create a separate table for the subclass, including all columns of the parent class. table-per-class: Create a separate table for subclasses, containing only subclass-specific columns. union-subclass: similar to joined-subclass, but the parent class table unions all subclass columns.

An in-depth analysis of how HTML reads the database
Apr 09, 2024 pm 12:36 PM
HTML cannot read the database directly, but it can be achieved through JavaScript and AJAX. The steps include establishing a database connection, sending a query, processing the response, and updating the page. This article provides a practical example of using JavaScript, AJAX and PHP to read data from a MySQL database, showing how to dynamically display query results in an HTML page. This example uses XMLHttpRequest to establish a database connection, send a query and process the response, thereby filling data into page elements and realizing the function of HTML reading the database.

How to use database callback functions in Golang?
Jun 03, 2024 pm 02:20 PM
Using the database callback function in Golang can achieve: executing custom code after the specified database operation is completed. Add custom behavior through separate functions without writing additional code. Callback functions are available for insert, update, delete, and query operations. You must use the sql.Exec, sql.QueryRow, or sql.Query function to use the callback function.
How to connect to remote database using Golang?
