CODD'S RULES

         Dr.Edgar Frank Codd(Augest 19,1923 – April 18,2003) was a Computer Scientist who working in IBM.And he invented the Relational Model for Database Management based on relational model ,the Relational database was created in 1985.And E.F.Codd proposed 13 rules for Relational database .Every Relational database table should follow the Codd rules.Because that table is a

pure Relational database table.DBMS meets these rules is called RDBMS.

In codd's rule:

1.We follow any 5-6 rules it qualified to be a Database Management system(DBMS).

2.We follow any 7-9 rules it qualified to be a Semi-Relational Database Management system(Semi-RDBMS).

3..We follow any 9-12 rules it qualified to be a Relational Database Management system(RDBMS).

Now, we learn about Codd's Rule:

Rule Zero: The Foundation Rule

   Any system can be qualified as a relational database management system that system must be able to manage the stored information in its entirely through its relational capablities

Rule One: The Information Rule

   All information is represented in table using rows & columns in relational database.

Rule Two: The Guaranteed Access Rule

    In this rule create a logical relationships between tables,to access all data in database.

Rule Three: Systematic treatment of Null value

In this rule DBMS allow null vaues in table . But, database not allow in primary key. Null value represent missing data and no values or inapplicable.

Rule Four: Active Online Catalog Based on the Relational Model

In this rule the system catalog must maintain by the DBMS. Database Structure must be stored in online catalog and that is only queried by authorized user.

And online ,inline,relational catalog are must be support by the system. Catalog is define the hole data.

Rule Five: The Comperhensive Data Sub Language

   In this rule RDBMS may support several language..only using a language can be access a database.A database must be accessible by a language supported for data accessing. data access mean data definition,manipulating ,transaction and etc.And has a Linear application.

Rule Six: The View Updating Rule

   In this rule we can view the table in different angle or way and also we can select and view the different presepective table.And also we view the updatable rows and columns in table.

Rule seven: High Level Insert,Update,and Delete

   In this rule the system must excute more than one query at a time.The RDBMS must be support high-level inserting,deleting and updating and it must also support union, minus, intersection operation.

Rule Eight: Physical Data Independence

   In this rule if any physcial changes in the system,such as exchange hardware and software compontent, chanages of storage etc. It should not affect the logicial or external view.

Rule Nine: Logical Data Independence

   This rule is similar to physical data independence.Because , In database logical will be change that not affect the user view(Application).It is very complicated to achieve.

Rule Ten: Integrity Independence

   In this rule Integrity constraints changed at database level should not change at application level. This rule means that RDBMS is not reliant on front end.

Rule Eleven: Distribution Independence

   Data distribution over various locations must be invisible to end user.The users should always get the impression that the data is located at one only place.This is a foundation of distribution database system.

Rule Twelve: The Non-Subversion Rule

  If low level access is allowed for the relational database. It should not able to subvert the integrity constraints and bypass security to change the information.
