A database can include sequences from only one organism e.g., a database for all proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae , or it can include sequences from all organisms whose DNA has been sequenced.

The most common is probably searching for a sequence similar to a certain target protein or gene whose sequence is already known to the user. The BLAST program is a method of this type. Many inputs create inconsistencies unreferenced section date December 2010 A major problem with all the large genetic sequence databases is that records are deposited in them from a wide range of sources, from individual researchers to large genome sequencing centers. As a result, the sequences themselves, and especially the biological annotations attached to these sequences, vary tremendously in quality.

A database refactoring is a simple change to a database schema that improves its design while retaining both its behavioral and informational semantics. A database refactoring is conceptually more difficult than a code refactoring code refactorings only need to maintain behavioral semantics while database refactorings also must maintain informational semantics. ref Scott Ambler and Pramod Sadalage 2006 . Refactoring databases Evolutionary database design . Addison Wesley. ISBN 978 0321293534 ref The process of database refactoring is the act of applying database refactorings to evolve an existing database schema database refactoring is a core practice of evolutionary database design . You refactor a database schema for one of two reasons to develop the schema in an evolutionary manner in parallel with the evolutionary design of the rest of your system or to fix design problems with an existing legacy database schema Database refactoring does not change the way data is interpreted or used and does not fix computer bug bug s or add new functionality. Every single refactoring to a database leaves the system in a working state, thus not causing maintenance lags, provided the meaningful data exists in the production environment. An example of database refactoring would be splitting an aggregate table into two different tables in the process of database normalization See also Test driven development Unit testing Refactoring Tools LiquiBase References reflist Refimprove date May 2009 External links http www.infoq.com presentations ambler database refactoring Database refactoring presentation at InfoQ.com by Scott W.

A database server is a computer program that provides database services to other computer programs or computer s, as defined by the client server software modeling model . The term may also refer to a computer dedicated to running such a program. Database management system s frequently provide database server functionality, and some database management system DBMSs e.g., MySQL rely exclusively on the client server model for database access. Such a server is accessed either through a front end running on the user s computer which displays requested data or the back end which runs on the server and handles tasks such as data analysis and storage. In a Master slave technology master slave model, database master servers are central and primary locations of data while database slave servers are synchronized backups of the master acting as proxies. Some examples of Database servers are Oracle Corporation Oracle , DB2 , Informix , Ingres , SQL Server . Every server uses its own query logic and structure. The SQL query language is more or less the same in all the database servers.
