    Relational Database Terminology


    Tables are relations
    Tables and forms (visuals of tables) show up on

    screens in ERP menus.


    Fields are attributes in the table (in columns) Records are instances in the table (in rows)
    Each table has a primary key that is the unique.
    Usually the primary key is some sort of code. Can not be null or empty Entity integrity rule

    The primary key in one table becomes the foreign key

    in another table so the tables can connect and querying can take place.
    Referential integrity rule

    Entity-Relationship Diagram
    ERDs are a type of system diagramming that show

    relationships between tables.


    Relationships are rules that show how tables relate to

    one another.
    Types of relationships One-to-one: the primary key of one table is associated with only one record in another table One-to-many: the primary key of one table is associated with more than one record in another table Many-to-many: the primary key in one table is associated with more than one record in a second table and the primary key in the second table is associated with more than one record in the first table

    Relational Database Example

    Database Query and Manipulation


    A query is a question asked of the database. Again,

    ERP systems have many standard queries coded into the software in the form of menus. Menus can be customized to add/change/delete queries.
    Structured Query Language (SQL) is a database

    querying language
    Simple Query returns a response without changing the

    database Update Query changes records in a database

    Data Manipulation operations alter the database


    Inserting new rows into tables Updating existing rows Deleting rows from tables

    Configure vs. Customize ERP


    Configuration involves setting switches during

    implementation that determine how the system will execute business processes. Example of configuring: reporting relationships, options having to do with how business processes work, auditing mechanisms, organizational structure. Customization is changing software code.
    This is expensive and time consuming. Only do if necessary and believed to lead to a competitive

    advantage. Dont customize because you feel your employees will resist a new way of work.that is the point of ERP!
    Vanilla is not customizing the software.
