Andmebaasühendus

Andmebaasühendus is an Estonian term that translates to "database connection" in English. It refers to the process and mechanism by which an application or a user establishes a link to a database management system (DBMS). This connection allows for the retrieval, manipulation, and storage of data within the database.

Establishing an andmebaasühendus typically involves several key steps. First, connection parameters must be specified. These often include the database server's address (hostname or IP address), the port number the database is listening on, the name of the specific database to connect to, and authentication credentials such as a username and password.

Once these parameters are provided, the client application attempts to initiate a communication session with the database server. If the server validates the credentials and is configured to accept the connection, a secure and stable link is established. This connection can then be used to execute SQL queries or other database commands.

The andmebaasühendus is a fundamental concept in database systems. Without it, applications would be unable to interact with the data stored in databases, rendering them largely ineffective for data-driven operations. Managing these connections efficiently is crucial for performance and security, with techniques like connection pooling often employed to reuse established connections and reduce overhead.
