(Winter 2017) Instructor: Craig Duckett Lecture 01: Tuesday, January 3rd Orientation and Introduction

INTRODUCTION Welcome to the BIT276 Database Implementation class! This is a fast-paced / student-governed / team-oriented class that will cover a lot of ground. Because it is a 200-level class, you will be challenged to take full responsibility for your own learning, conducting online research, book reading and video viewing, and study and practice of database design and implementation for a client including the acquisition of SQL coding syntax and habits. A lot will be required of you, but this can make it all the more rewarding! By the end of the quarter you should have a firm handle on the Relational Databases, RDBMS, Tables, and the Structured Query Language (SQL).

Laptops, Notebooks, USB Drives If you have a laptop or notebook you are greatly encouraged to bring this to class, since your personal computers may often prove more reliable than the computers in this lab. If not, then you will need a USB thumb drive to do your work on and to transfer your files between school and home. Since most database files are quite small, the USB drive doesn't need to be a very big one.

Database System Development Lifecycle and Analysis

Database System Development Lifecycle

Database Planning

Database Planning Identify how the stages can be completed in the most effective and efficient way. During the database planning phase, four major activities are performed: Review and approve the database project request. Prioritize the database project request. Allocate resources such as time, people, money, and tools. Arrange a development team to develop the database project.

Database Planning Two steps: Database planning should also include the development of standards that govern how data will be collected, how the format should be specified, what necessary documentation will be needed. Two steps: Mission Statement : Major aims for the Database Project. Mission Objectives : Tasks that the database should support, driven through fact finding techniques: interviews, email, questionnaires, etc

Database Planning and Mission Statement Interviewing the client/owner/business director, etc: What is the purpose of your company? Why do you need the database? How can the database solve your problem?

Database Planning and Mission Statement EXAMPLE Interviewing Buck’s Burgers: What is the purpose of your company? To prepare and sell quick service food to fulfill our guest's needs in a cleaner environment than our competitors. Why do you need the database? We have many branches all over Washington, that offers different cosines, which drive a data management problem, sharing of information between branches (for examples : favorite meals, number of employees) which help in business decision making. How can the database solve your problem? No more paperwork, automating daily tasks, cooperation between branches.

Database Planning and Mission Statement Buck’s Burgers Database Project Mission Statement The purpose of the BB DB project is to maintain the data that is used and generated to support the fast food business for our client and to support sharing information between branches and in decision making. Clearer View of the Project

Database Planning and Mission Objectives Interviewing different staff: Job description. Daily tasks. Data that they deal with. Daily reports. Type of things they keep track on. Customer services.

Database Planning and Mission Objectives To manage (add, delete, update) data on branches. To manage (add, delete, update) data on staff. To manage (add, delete, update) on meals. To manage (add, delete, update) on clients. To perform searches on branches. To perform searches on staff. To perform searches on meals. To perform searches on clients

System Definition

Current application areas. System Definition Identify System boundaries at a very high level, for example: Current users. Current application areas. Example: Recktell Realty

A particular job role (such as Manager or Supervisor) or System Definition Identify User views; Define what is required of a database application from the perspective of: A particular job role (such as Manager or Supervisor) or Enterprise application area (such as marketing or personnel).

Requirements Collection and Analysis

Requirements Collection and Analysis Collecting and analyzing information about the part of organization to be supported by the database system, and using this information to identify users’ requirements of new system. Identifying the required functionality for a database system is crucial, as systems with inadequate functionality will fail. Information is gathered for each major user view including: a description of data used or generated; details of how data is to be used/generated; any additional requirements for new database system.

Requirements Collection and Analysis An important activity is to decide how to manage the requirements for a database system with multiple user views. Three main approaches: Centralized approach View integration approach Combination of both approaches

Requirements Collection and Analysis: Centralized Approach

Requirements Collection and Analysis: View Integration Approach

Requirements Collection and Analysis Critical to capture necessary facts to build the required database application. These facts are captured using fact-finding techniques. When Are Fact-Finding Techniques Used? Fact-finding used throughout database application lifecycle. Crucial to early stages including database planning, system definition, and requirements collection and analysis stages.

Requirements Collection and Analysis Fact-Finding Techniques: Examining documentation Interviewing (unstructured/structured & open/closed ended questions) Observing organization in operation Research Questionnaires (free-format and fixed-format)

Database Design

Database Design Creating a design for a database that will support the enterprise’s mission statement and mission objectives for the required database system. Main aims: To represent data and relationships required by users and applications. To provide a data model which supports transactions. To specify a design that meets performance requirements.

Database Design Three main phases of database design: Conceptual Database Design Create a conceptual data model Independent of any implementation details. Logical Database Design (What) At this point you know which type of DBMS you will implementing in - e.g. relational, object-oriented etc (but not the actual DBMS). Test the correctness of the data model through normalization. Physical Database Design (How) Derive tables & constraints. Identify storage structures and access methods. Design security features.

DBMS Selection

DBMS Selection Selection of an appropriate DBMS to support the database system. Undertaken at any time prior to logical design. Main steps for selecting a DBMS: Define Terms of Reference of study; Shortlist two or three products; Evaluate products; Recommend selection and produce report.

Application Design

Application Design Design of user interface and application programs that use and process the database. Database design and application design are often parallel activities Includes two important activities: transaction design user interface design

Prototyping

Prototyping Building working model of a database system to evaluate how the final system will look and function. Purpose: to identify features of a system that work well, or are inadequate to suggest improvements or even new features to clarify the users’ requirements to evaluate feasibility of a particular system design.

Implementation

Physical realization of the database and application designs. Create database schemas and empty database files. (DDL) Create the application programs. (DML and ASP or PHP or JAVA or C# or ? ...) Implementation

Data Conversion and Loading

Data Conversion and Loading Transferring any existing data into new database and converting any existing applications to run on new database. Only required when new database system is replacing an old system. Data Conversion and Loading

Testing

Testing Process of running the database system with intent of finding errors. Use carefully planned test strategies and realistic data. Demonstrates that database and application programs appear to be working according to requirements.

Operational Maintenance

Operational Maintenance Process of monitoring and maintaining database system following installation. Operational Maintenance Activities: Monitoring performance of system. Maintaining and upgrading database application. Incorporating new requirements into DB application. Operational Maintenance

In-Class Exercises Survey: http://goo.gl/forms/Am2K0ANo8t Unlike the BIT275 class, there will be no IN-CLASS EXERCISES for the BIT276 class. The time normally set aside for doing ICEs will be dedicated each class period for TEAM work. Starting with the next class on Thursday, we will start the process of putting the teams together, and have the teams set up and finalized next week. Survey: http://goo.gl/forms/Am2K0ANo8t
