This provides more data access throughput, which avoids causing the processor to idly wait for data accesses. Striping is used across disk ... from the beginning of the data sequence. This works well for streaming data, but subsequent random accesses will require knowledge of which device contains the data. If the data is stored such that the physical address of each data segment is assigned a 1 to 1 mapping to a particular device, the device ... of the data within the full sequence. Other methods might be employed in which sequential segments ... include performance and throughput.

The data domain for the gender column is M , F . In a database normalization normalized data model , the Master data management reference domain is typically specified in a reference table . Following the previous example, a Gender reference table would have exactly two records, one per allowed value excluding NULL. Reference tables are formally related to other tables in a database by the use of foreign key s. Less simple domain boundary rules, if database enforced, may be implemented through a check constraint or, in more complex cases, in a database trigger .
