idtáblázat

idtáblázat is a Hungarian term that translates to "identity table" or "lookup table" in English. It refers to a data structure or a record that stores pairs of related information. Essentially, it's used to map one set of values to another. This mapping can be for various purposes, such as converting codes, identifying objects, or retrieving associated data.

In practical applications, an idtáblázat often takes the form of a simple list or a more complex database table. For example, a product catalog might use an idtáblázat to link product SKUs (Stock Keeping Units) to their full descriptions, prices, and inventory levels. Similarly, a system dealing with user authentication might use an idtáblázat to map usernames to their corresponding user IDs or encrypted passwords.

The primary benefit of using an idtáblázat is to streamline data retrieval and management. Instead of repeating information or performing complex calculations, users or systems can quickly look up the desired value based on a known key. This improves efficiency and reduces the potential for errors. The term is commonly encountered in software development, database management, and data analysis contexts within Hungary.
