multiple issues context August 2010 unreferenced August 2010 orphan August 2010 There are three main types of Database Management System DBMS and these are based upon their management of database structure s. In other words, the types of DBMS are entirely dependent upon how the database is structured by that particular DBMS. Hierarchical DBMS A DBMS is said to be hierarchical if the relationships among data in the database are established in such a way that one data item is present as the subordinate of another one. Here subordinate means that items have parent child relationships among them. Direct relationships exist between any two records that are stored consecutively. The data structure tree is followed by the DBMS to structure the database. No backward movement is possible allowed in the hierarchical database . Most of the older DBMS such as Dbase , FoxPro etc. are hierarchical which are rarely used nowadays.Heirarchical databases were difficult to handle because rolling of operations was highly tedious. Network DBMS A DBMS is said to be a Network DBMS if the relationships among data in the database are of type many to many . The relationships among many to many appears in the form of a network. Thus the structure of a network database is extremely complicated because of these many to many relationships in which one record can be used as a key of the entire database. A network database is structured in the form of a graph that is also a data structure. Though the structure of such a DBMS is highly complicated however it has two basic elements i.e. records and sets to designate many to many relationships. Mainly high level languages such as Pascal , COBOL and FORTRAN etc. were used to implement the records and set structures. Relational DBMS A DBMS is said to be a Relational DBMS or RDBMS if the database relationships are treated in the form of a table. there are three keys on relational DBMS 1 relation 2 domain 3 attributes A network means it contains fundamen ... more details

context date August 2009 A wide variety of river and stream channel types exist in limnology . All these can be divided into two groups by using the Stream gradient water flow gradient as either low gradient channels for streams or rivers with less than two percent 2 flow gradient, or high gradient channels for those with greater than a 2 gradient. Low gradient channels Low gradient channels of rivers and streams can be divided into braided river s, wandering rivers, single thread Meander sinuous rivers meandering , and Anastomosis anastomosing rivers. The channel type developed depends on stream gradient, riparian vegetation and sediment supply. Braided river s tend to occur on steeper gradients where there is a large supply of sediment for braid bar s, while single thread sinous channels occur where there is a lower sediment supply for point bar s. Anastomosing channels are multithreaded, but are much more stable than braided channels and commonly have thick clay and silt Bank geography bank s and occur at lower gradients of stream bed . Wandering rivers fall between sinuous single thread and braided streams and are relatively stable multi channel gravel bed rivers. High gradient channels High gradient channels of rivers and streams have been divided into riffle pool which can cover all of the low gradient channel morphologies discussed above , rapid plane bed, step pool and cascade unit morphologies. Riffle pool sequence channels are composed of migrating Stream pool pools and transfers Bar river morphology bars called riffle s and occur on gradients less than 1 2 percent.

Globalize US date September 2010 refimprove date November 2010 There are various types of restaurant . Restaurants fall into several industry classifications based upon menu style, preparation methods and pricing. Additionally, how the food is served to the customer helps to determine the classification. Historically, restaurant referred only to places that provided tables where one sat down to eat the meal, typically served by a waiter . Following the rise of fast food and take out restaurants, a retronym for the older standard restaurant was created, sit down restaurant . Most commonly, sit down restaurant refers to a casual dining restaurant with table service , rather than a fast food restaurant , where one orders food at a countertop counter . Sit down restaurants are often further categorized as family style or Full course dinner formal . In British English , the term restaurant almost always means an eating establishment with table service, so the sit down qualification is not usually necessary. Fast food and takeaway take out outlets with counter service are not normally referred to as restaurants. Outside of North America, the terms fast casual dining restaurants, family style, and casual dining are not used. Types Fast food Fast food restaurants emphasize speed of service. Operations range from small scale street vendors with carts to franchise business mega corporations like McDonald s . Also known as a QSR or Quick Serve Restaurant. Fast casual Fast casual restaurants do not offer table service, but may offer non disposable plates and cutlery.

Types of snow can be designated by the shape of its flakes, description of how it is falling, and by how it collects on the ground. A blizzard and snow storm indicate heavy snowfalls over a large area, snow squalls give heavy snowfalls over narrow bands, while Snow flurry flurries are used for the lightest snowfall. Types which fall in the form of a ball, rather than a snowflake flake , are known as graupel , with sleet and snow grains as types of graupel. Once on the ground, snow can be categorized as powdery when fluffy, granular when it begins the cycle of melting and refreezing, and crud or eventually ice once it packs down into a dense drift after multiple melting and refreezing cycles. When powdering, snow drifts with the wind , sometimes to the depth of several metres.
