Data Definition Language/ Data Description Language (DDL)

.

 Introduction of DDL :

  • It is a language that allows the users to define data and their relationship to other types of data.
  • DDL is the short form of Data Definition Language, which deals with database schema and description of how the data should reside in the database.
  • It is mainly used to create files, database, data dictionary and table within database.
  • DDL can be used to define the conceptual/ Global/ Logical schema.
  • A DDL is a language used to define data structures and modify data.

Following are the commands of DDL :

 CREATE :

It is used to create object in the database. The CREATE command can be used to establish each of these database on your platform.

ALTER :

It alters the structure of the database. The ALTER command allows you to make changes to the structure of a table without deleting and recreating it.

Drop :

Delete object from the database. The final command of the Data Definition Language, DROP, allows us to remove entire database objects from our DBMS.
For example
DROP TABLE personal_info
DROP DATABASE employees

TRUNCATE :    

Remove all records from a table, including all space allocated for the record are removed.

COMMENT :

Add comment to the data dictionary.

RENAME :

Rename an object.

8085 Microprocessor and its Operation

 . The 8085 microprocessor is an 8 bit microprocessor designed by Intel and introduced in 1976. It is a widely used microprocessor in embedded systems and educational settings due to its simplicity and effectiveness. Here's an overview of its architecture and operation: Data Bus: 8-bit: It can handle 8 bits of data at a time, which means it processes 1 byte of data in a single operation. Address Bus: 16-bit: It can address up to  2 16 2 16  = 65,536 memory locations, which translates to 64KB of addressable memory. Registers: General Purpose Registers:  6 registers (B, C, D, E, H, L) which can be used individually or in pairs (BC, DE, HL) for 16-bit operations. Accumulator:  An 8-bit register (A) used for arithmetic and logic operations. Flag Register:  Contains flags that indicate the status of the processor (Zero, Carry, Sign, Parity, and Auxiliary Carry Flags). Program Counter (PC): 16-bit register that holds the address of the next instruction to be exec...
