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.

In data modeling , the cardinality of one data table with respect to another data table is a critical aspect of database design. Relationships between data tables define cardinality when explaining how each table links to another. In the relational model, tables can be related as any of many to many , many to one rev. one to many , or one to one . This is said to be the cardinality of a given table in relation to another. For example, consider a database designed to keep track of hospital records. Such a database could have many tables like a Doctor table full of doctor information a Patient table with patient information and a Department table with an entry for each department of the hospital. In that model There is a many to many relationship between the records in the doctor table and records in the patient table Doctors have many patients, and a patient could have several doctors a one to many relation between the department table and the doctor table each doctor works for one department, but one department could have many doctors . one to one relationship is mostly used to split a table in two in order to optimize access or limit the visibility of some information. In the hospital example, such a relationship could be used to keep apart doctor s personal or administrative information. In data modeling, collections of data elements are grouped into data tables . The data tables contain groups of data field names known in the science world as database attributes . Tables are linked by key fields .

The musical operation of Transposition music scalar transposition shifts every note in a melody by the same number of scale steps. The musical operation of Transposition music chromatic transposition shifts every note in a melody by the same distance in pitch class space. In general, for a given scale S, the scalar transpositions of a line L can be grouped into categories, or transpositional Set theory music set classes , whose members are related by chromatic transposition. In diatonic set theory cardinality equals variety when, for any melodic line L in a particular scale S, the number of these classes is equal to the number of distinct pitch classes in the line L. For example, the melodic line C D E has three distinct pitch classes. When transposed diatonically to all scale degree s in the C major scale, we obtain three interval patterns M2 M2, M2 m2, m2 M2. Image Cardinality equals variety CDE.PNG 400px three member diatonic subset of the C major scale, C D E transposed to all scale degrees Melodic lines in the C major scale with n distinct pitch classes always generate n distinct patterns. The property was first described by John Clough and Gerald Myerson in Variety and Multiplicity in Diatonic Systems 1985 Johnson 2003, p.68, 151 . Cardinality equals variety in the diatonic collection and the pentatonic scale , and, more generally, what Carey and Clampitt 1989 call nondegenerate well formed scales.

In set theory , a set is called hereditarily countable if it is a countable set of hereditary property hereditarily countable sets. This inductive definition is in fact well founded and can be expressed in the language of first order logic first order set theory. A set is hereditarily countable if and only if it is countable, and every element of its transitive set transitive closure is countable. If the axiom of countable choice holds, then a set is hereditarily countable if and only if its transitive closure is countable. The class of all hereditarily countable sets can be proven to be a set from the axioms of Zermelo Fraenkel set theory ZF without any form of the axiom of choice , and this set is designated math H aleph 1 math .

In mathematics , and in particular model theory , a prime model is a model abstract model which is as simple as possible. Specifically, a model math P math is prime if it admits an elementary embedding into any model math M math to which it is elementarily equivalent that is, into any model math M math satisfying the same complete theory as math P math . Cardinality In contrast with the notion of saturated model , prime models are restricted to very specific cardinality cardinalities by the L wenheim Skolem theorem . If math L math is a first order language with cardinality math kappa math and math T math a complete theory over math L, math then this theorem guarantees a model for math T math of cardinality math kappa math therefore no prime model of math T math can have larger cardinality since at the very least it must be elementarily embedded in such a model. This still leaves much ambiguity in the actual cardinality unless math kappa aleph 0, math which admits no smaller cardinalities therefore one often talks about countable languages, in which all prime models are also countable. Relationship with saturated models There is a duality between the definitions of prime and saturated models. Half of this duality is discussed in the article on saturated model s, while the other half is as follows. While a saturated model realizes as many type model theory type s as possible, a prime model realizes as few as possible it is an atomic model mathematical logic atomic model , realizing only the types which cannot be omitting types theorem omitted and omitting the remainder. This may be interpreted in the sense that a prime model admits no frills any characteristic of a model which is optional is ignored in it.

In set theory , the concept of cardinality is significantly developable without recourse to actually defining cardinal numbers as objects in theory itself this is in fact a viewpoint taken by Gottlob Frege Frege Frege cardinal s are basically equivalence classes on the entire universe of sets which are equinumerous . The concepts are developed by defining equinumerous equinumerosity in terms of functions and the concepts of injective function one to one and surjective function onto injectivity and surjectivity this gives us a pseudo ordering relation math A leq c B quad iff quad exists f f A to B mathrm is injective math on the whole universe by size. It is not a true ordering because the trichotomy mathematics trichotomy law need not hold if both math A leq c B math and math B leq c A math , it is true by the Cantor Bernstein Schroeder theorem that math A c B math i.e. A and B are equinumerous, but they do not have to be literally equal that at least one case holds turns out to be equivalent to the Axiom of choice . Nevertheless, most of the interesting results on cardinality and its arithmetic can be expressed merely with sub c sub . The goal of a cardinal assignment is to assign to every set A a specific, unique set which is only dependent on the cardinality of A . This is in accordance with Georg Cantor Cantor s original vision of a cardinals to take a set and abstract its elements into canonical units and collect these units into another set, such that the only thing special about this set is its size. These would be totally ordered by the relation math leq c math and sub c sub would be true equality. As Y. N.
