Zeilenindex
Zeilenindex, also known as row index, is a term used in the context of data structures, particularly in databases and spreadsheets. It refers to the numerical identifier assigned to each row in a table or dataset. This index is crucial for accessing and manipulating specific rows of data efficiently. In relational databases, the primary key often serves as the row index, uniquely identifying each record. In spreadsheets, the row index is typically represented by numbers starting from 1, with each subsequent row incrementing by one. Understanding the concept of a Zeilenindex is essential for database management, data analysis, and any application involving tabular data. It allows for precise data retrieval, updates, and deletions, ensuring data integrity and consistency.
