Cardinality (other)
Cardinality may refer to: * Cardinality of a set, a measure of the "number of elements" of a set in mathematics * Cardinality of a musical set, the number of pitch classes * Cardinality (data modeling), a term in database design, e.g. many-to-many or one-to-many relationships * Cardinality (SQL statements), a term used in SQL statements which describes the "uniqueness" of the data in a given column * Cardinal utility In economics, a cardinal utility expresses not only which of two outcomes is preferred, but also the intensity of preferences, i.e. ''how much'' better or worse one outcome is compared to another. In consumer choice theory, economists originally ...

Cardinality
The thumb is the first digit of the hand, next to the index finger. When a person is standing in the medical anatomical position (where the palm is facing to the front), the thumb is the outermost digit. The Medical Latin English noun for thumb is ''pollex'' (compare ''hallux'' for big toe), and the corresponding adjective for thumb is ''pollical''. Definition Thumb and fingers The English word ''finger'' has two senses, even in the context of appendages of a single typical human hand: 1) Any of the five terminal members of the hand. 2) Any of the four terminal members of the hand, other than the thumb. Linguistically, it appears that the original sense was the first of these two: (also rendered as ) was, in the inferred Proto-Indo-European language, a suffixed form of (or ), which has given rise to many Indo-European-family words (tens of them defined in English dictionaries) that involve, or stem from, concepts of fiveness. The thumb shares the following with each of ...

Musical Set
A set (pitch set, pitch-class set, set class, set form, set genus, pitch collection) in music theory, as in mathematics and general parlance, is a collection of objects. In musical contexts the term is traditionally applied most often to collections of pitches or pitch-classes, but theorists have extended its use to other types of musical entities, so that one may speak of sets of durations or timbres, for example.Wittlich, Gary (1975). "Sets and Ordering Procedures in Twentieth-Century Music", ''Aspects of Twentieth-Century Music'', p.475. Wittlich, Gary (ed.). Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall. . A set by itself does not necessarily possess any additional structure, such as an ordering or permutation. Nevertheless, it is often musically important to consider sets that are equipped with an order relation (called ''segments''); in such contexts, bare sets are often referred to as "unordered", for the sake of emphasis. Two-element sets are called dyads, three-e ...

Cardinality (data Modeling)
Within data modelling, cardinality is the numerical relationship between rows of one table and rows in another. Common cardinalities include ''one-to-one'', ''one-to-many'', and ''many-to-many''. Cardinality can be used to define data models as well as analyze entities within datasets. Relationships For example, consider a database of electronic health records. Such a database could contain tables like the following: * A doctor table with information about physicians. * A patient table for medical subjects undergoing treatment. * An appointment table with an entry for each hospital visit. Natural relationships exist between these entities: * A many-to-many relationship between records in doctor and records in patient because doctors have many patients and patients can see many doctors. * A one-to-many relationship between records in patient and records in appointment because patients can have many appointments and each appointment involves only one patient. * A one-to-one rela ...

Cardinality (SQL Statements)
In SQL (Structured Query Language), the term cardinality refers to the uniqueness of data values contained in a particular column (attribute) of a database In computing, a database is an organized collection of data or a type of data store based on the use of a database management system (DBMS), the software that interacts with end users, applications, and the database itself to capture and a ... table. The lower the cardinality, the more duplicated elements in a column. Thus, a column with the lowest possible cardinality would have the same value for every row. SQL databases use cardinality to help determine the optimal query plan for a given query. Values of cardinality When dealing with columnar value sets, there are three types of cardinality: high-cardinality, normal-cardinality, and low-cardinality. High-cardinality refers to columns with values that are very uncommon or unique. High-cardinality column values are typically identification numbers, email addresses ...
