Consolidation informatiqueLa consolidation est en informatique le regroupement cohérent de données. Elle concerne généralement des données organisées logiquement ou liées entre elles. Plus spécifiquement pour les tableurs, il s’agit du regroupement de plusieurs tableaux issus de feuilles différentes (les feuilles sont des composantes des tableurs) voire de classeurs différents. La consolidation de données consiste à rassembler plusieurs données semblables afin d’obtenir un rapport plus facile à consulter que l’information brute présente sur le serveur, avec le moins de perte d’information possible.
Data virtualizationData virtualization is an approach to data management that allows an application to retrieve and manipulate data without requiring technical details about the data, such as how it is formatted at source, or where it is physically located, and can provide a single customer view (or single view of any other entity) of the overall data. Unlike the traditional extract, transform, load ("ETL") process, the data remains in place, and real-time access is given to the source system for the data.
Concurrency controlIn information technology and computer science, especially in the fields of computer programming, operating systems, multiprocessors, and databases, concurrency control ensures that correct results for concurrent operations are generated, while getting those results as quickly as possible. Computer systems, both software and hardware, consist of modules, or components. Each component is designed to operate correctly, i.e., to obey or to meet certain consistency rules.
Database schemaThe database schema is the structure of a database described in a formal language supported typically by a relational database management system (RDBMS). The term "schema" refers to the organization of data as a blueprint of how the database is constructed (divided into database tables in the case of relational databases). The formal definition of a database schema is a set of formulas (sentences) called integrity constraints imposed on a database. These integrity constraints ensure compatibility between parts of the schema.
