Result Set - The complete set of rows that is returned by a particular SELECT statement.

Rollback - An operation, usually performed by the SQL ROLLBACK statement, that discards all of the
changes made by all INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements that have been executed since the most
recently started transaction (e.g., START TRANSACTION statement).

Row - One set of related values for all of the columns declared in a given table. Also known as a record
occurrence.

Royalty - A License fee set forth in an Agreement (Product and Pricing Addendum).

RTOS - A common abbreviation for real-time operating system. Raima Database Manager runs on most
RTOS, like VxWorks, Integrity, Embedded Linux and QNX.

R-Tree (Spatial Indexing) - R-trees are tree data structures used for spatial access methods, i.e., for
indexing multi-dimensional information such as geographical coordinates, rectangles or polygons. The R-
tree was proposed by Antonin Guttman in 1984 and has found significant use in both theoretical and
applied contexts. A common real-world usage for an R-tree might be to store spatial objects such as
restaurant locations or the polygons that typical maps are made of streets, buildings, outlines of lakes,
coastlines, etc. and then find answers quickly to queries such as "Find all museums within 2 km of my
current location", "retrieve all road segments within 2 km of my location" (to display them in a
navigation system) or "find the nearest gas station" (although not taking roads into account).

Runtime - A portion of a DBMS that is included within the process space of an application program.

Scalability - A software system is scalable when its performance and overall system throughput
continues to improve as more computing resources are made available for its use. This usually comes in
the form of the number of CPUs and cores available in the computer on which the software system is
run.

Scalar Function - Either a built-in SQL function or a user-defined function that returns a single value
computed only from the values of any required arguments at the time the function is called.

Schema - A representation of the structure of a database. It may be graphical or textual. Graphical

representations typically involve the use of boxes that represent database tables and arrows that
represent inter-table relationships. Textual schema representations utilize Database Definition Language
(DDL) statements to describe a database design.

Searched Update/Delete - An SQL update or delete statement in which the rows to be updated/deleted
are those for which the conditional expression specified in the WHERE clause is true.

Seat - A copy of a Product, or any of its components, installed on a single machine.

Semaphore - A primitive computing operation that is used to synchronize shared access to data.
Sometimes called a "mutex" meaning a "mutually exclusive section." Semaphores control concurrent
access to data by restricting access to critical sections of code that manipulate that data.
