SQL (or, Structured Query Language) is a domain-specific language used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS).

In computing, a data warehouse (DW or DWH), also known as an enterprise data warehouse (EDW), is a system used for reporting and data analysis, and is considered a core component of business intelligence.

DWs are central repositories of integrated data from one or more disparate sources.

They store current and historical data in one single place and are used for creating analytical reports for knowledge workers throughout the enterprise.

Examples of reports could range from annual and quarterly comparisons and trends to detailed daily sales analysis.

A snowflake is either a single ice crystal or an aggregation of ice crystals which falls through the Earth's atmosphere as snow.

Each flake nucleates around a dust particle in supersaturated air masses by attracting supercooled cloud water droplets, which freeze and accrete in crystal form.

Complex shapes emerge as the flake moves through differing temperature and humidity zones in the atmosphere, such that individual snowflakes differ in detail from one another, but may be categorized in eight broad classifications and at least 80 individual variants.

The main constituent shapes for ice crystals, from which combinations may occur, are needle, column, plate and rime.

Snowflakes appear white in color despite being made of clear ice.

This is due to diffuse reflection of the whole spectrum of light by the small crystal facets.

Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand.

It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in either privately owned, or third-party data centers that may be located far from the user–ranging in distance from across a city to across the world.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over an electricity network.

The ampersand is the logogram "&", representing the conjunction word "and".

It originated as a ligature of the letters et, Latin for "and".
