A data definition language or data description language (DDL) is a syntax similar to a computer programming language for defining data structures, especially database schemas.
The concept of the data definition language and its name was first introduced in relation to the Codasyl database model, where the schema of the database was written in a language syntax describing the records, fields, and sets of the user data model. Later it was used to refer to a subset of Structured Query Language (SQL) for creating tables and constraints. SQL-92 introduced a schema manipulation language and schema information tables to query schemas. These information tables were specified as SQL/Schemata in SQL:2003. The term DDL is also used in a generic sense to refer to any formal language for describing data or information structures.
Many data description languages use a declarative syntax to define fields and data types. Structured query language (e.g., SQL), however, uses a collection of imperative verbs whose effect is to modify the schema of the database by adding, changing, or deleting definitions of tables or other objects. These statements can be freely mixed with other SQL statements, making the DDL not a separate language.
Disturbance and its variants may refer to:
"Disturbance" (Korean: 그런 너 Geuleon neo; Japanese: そんな君 Sonna kimi; English: "You the Way You Are") is a Korean song released as a digital single by South Korean singer BoA, released on January 28, 2013. The song was written and composed by the singer herself as special release for her first Korean tour. The lyrics of the song end with "Geuleon neo".
"Geuleon Neo (Disturbance)" is a song of the soul pop and neo soul genres, written and composed by BoA herself. According to Billboard, the song is a midtempo R&B number which utilizes synthesizers as the background. They further commented that the production is similar to that of BoA's single "Only One". The single was released in conjunction with the singer's first solo concert tour in South Korea. The single was announced on January 23, 2013 and released at noon through Korean music portals, the single's cover and music video feature Shinee member Taemin.Korea JoongAng Daily remarked that the song carries a "sophisticated melody" and BoA's vocals are "appealing [and] distinctive". A Japanese version of the song was released as the B-side to her 33rd Japanese single "Tail of Hope" as "Baby You...", however the Korean version also released on the same single was titled as "Sonna Kimi".
In biology, a disturbance is a temporary change in environmental conditions that causes a pronounced change in an ecosystem. Disturbances often act quickly and with great effect, sometimes resulting in the removal of large amounts of biomass. Major ecological disturbances may include fires, flooding, windstorms, insect outbreaks and trampling. Earthquakes, various types of volcanic eruptions, tsunami, firestorms, impact events, climate change, and the devastating effects of human impact on the environment (anthropogenic disturbances) such as clearcutting, forest clearing and the introduction of invasive species can be considered major disturbances. Disturbance forces can have profound immediate effects on ecosystems and can, accordingly, greatly alter the natural community. Because of these and the impacts on populations, these effects can continue for an extended period of time.
Conditions under which natural disturbances occur are influenced mainly by climate, weather, and location. Fire disturbances will only occur in areas where there is low precipitation, some form of ignition (typically lightning), and enough flammable biomass to allow spread. Conditions often occur as part of a cycle and disturbances may be periodic. Other disturbances, such as those caused by humans, invasive species or impact events, can occur anywhere and are not necessarily cyclic. Extinction vortices may result in multiple disturbances or a greater frequency of a single disturbance.
