Unreferenced date May 2008 In SQL Structured Query Language , the term cardinality refers to the uniqueness of data values contained in a particular column attribute of a Relational database database Database table 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 3 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, or user names. An example of a data table column with high cardinality would be a USERS table with a column named USER ID. This column would contain unique values of 1 n . Each time a new user is created in the USERS table, a new number would be created in the USER ID column to identify them uniquely. Since the values held in the USER ID column are unique, this column s cardinality type would be referred to as high cardinality. Normal cardinality refers to columns with values that are somewhat uncommon. Normal cardinality column values are typically names, street addresses, or vehicle types. An example of a data table column with normal cardinality would be a CUSTOMER table with a column named LAST ..., its cardinality type would be referred to as normal cardinality. Low cardinality refers to columns with few unique values. Low cardinality column values are typically flag computing status flags , Boolean ... column with low cardinality would be a CUSTOMER table with a column named NEW CUSTOMER.

The continuum concept is an idea, coined by Jean Liedloff in her 1975 book The Continuum Concept , that human being s have an innate set of expectations that our evolutionary process has designed us to meet which Liedloff calls the continuum in order to achieve optimal physical, mental, and emotional Human development biology development and adaptability . According to Liedloff, in order to achieve this level of development, humans especially babies require the kind of experience to which our species adapted during the long process of our evolution by natural selection . For infants, these experiences, for example, include The infant being placed immediately in the mother s arms at birth, and from then on carried constantly in arms or otherwise in contact with someone, usually the mother, and allowed to observe or nurse, or sleep while the carrier goes about his or her business until the infant begins creeping, then crawling on his her own impulse, usually at six to eight months Co sleeping in the parents bed, in constant physical contact, until leaving of their own volition often about two years Breastfeeding on cue nursing in response to the child s body s signals Having caregivers immediately respond to body signals squirming, crying, etc. , without judgment, displeasure, or invalidation of the child s needs, yet showing no undue concern nor making the child the constant center of attention Sensing and fulfilling elders expectations that he or she is innately social and cooperative and has strong self preservation instincts, and that he or she is welcome and worthy.

Other uses Continuum disambiguation Unreferenced date April 2010 Continuum theories or models explain variation as involving a gradual quantitative transition without abrupt changes or discontinuities. It can be contrasted with categorical models which propose qualitatively different states. In physics In physics, for example, the Spacetime space time continuum model explains space and time as part of the same continuum rather than as separate entities. A spectrum in physics e.g. of light is often termed either a continuous spectrum energy at all wavelengths or discrete spectrum energy at only certain wavelengths . In contrast, quantum mechanics includes Quantum quanta , which are distinguished from continuous amounts. In mathematics and philosophy A good introduction to the philosophical issues involved is John Lane Bell s http plato.stanford.edu entries continuity essay in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

It determines the divide between Intuitionism intuitionistic continua such as Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer Brouwer s and Lawvere s, and classical ones such as Simon Stevin Stevin s and Abraham Robinson Robinson s.
