Data modeling – representing the 1:M relationship Watson’s looks like this: Ours will look like this:
Foreign keys A foreign key is a column that is a primary key of another table –natcode in stock is a foreign key because natcode is the primary key of nation Record a 1:m relationship the foreign key goes on the M side foreign key-primary key matching Names for a foreign key and the corresponding primary key are often the same, but not always
Referential integrity constraint For every value of a foreign key there is a primary key with that value For every value of natcode in stock there is a value of natcode in nation A foreign key can never be null A primary key must exist before the foreign key can be defined –Must create the nation before its stocks
Creating the tables CREATE TABLE nation ( natcodeCHAR(3), natnameVARCHAR(20), exchrateDECIMAL(9,5), PRIMARY KEY (natcode)); CREATE TABLE stock ( stkcodeCHAR(3), stkfirmVARCHAR(20), stkpriceDECIMAL(6,2), stkqtyDECIMAL(8), stkdivDECIMAL(5,2), stkpeDECIMAL(5), natcodeCHAR(3), PRIMARY KEY(stkcode), CONSTRAINT fk_stock_nation FOREIGN KEY(natcode) REFERENCES nation)
o Doing a join using WHERE with = (an equijoin) and qualification. o Using GROUP BY with one or more operations (e.g., COUNT, SUM) that produce a single result (results row) for each group. o Using HAVING (functionally similar to WHERE) to pick a subset of the groups identified by a GROUP BY. o Using a subquery (inner query, nested SELECT) to define a condition to evaluate in the WHERE clause of an outer query. Also – the correlated subquery. o Using CREATE VIEW to create a view or virtual table. Other basic SQL

HAVING - the WHERE clause of groups Report the total value of stocks for nations with two or more listed stocks.

Subqueries A query nested within another query Report the names of all Australian stocks: SELECT stkfirm FROM stock WHERE natcode IN (SELECT natcode FROM nation WHERE natname = 'Australia') stkfirm Narembeen Emu Queensland Diamond Indooroopilly Ruby
Correlated subquery Solves the inner query many times Find those stocks where the quantity is greater than the average for that country: SELECT natname, stkfirm, stkqty FROM stock, nation WHERE stock.natcode = nation.natcode AND stkqty > (SELECT AVG(stkqty) FROM stock WHERE stock.natcode = nation.natcode) natnamestkfirmstkqty AustraliaQueensland Diamond89251 United KingdomBolivian Sheep United KingdomRoyal Ostrich Farms United StatesMinnesota Gold816122
Views - virtual tables An imaginary table constructed by the DBMS when required Only the definition of the view is stored, not the result CREATE VIEW stkvalue (nation, firm, price, qty, exchrate, value) AS SELECT natname, stkfirm, stkprice, stkqty, exchrate, stkprice*stkqty*exchrate FROM stock, nation WHERE stock.natcode = nation.natcode

Key ideas (… so to speak) o the foreign key goes on the M side othe foreign key doesn’t go on the 1 side (this would create a multi-valued attribute – bad) o foreign key-primary key matching o names for a foreign key and the corresponding primary key are often the same, but not always oreferential integrity constraint: … when a record (row) on the M side references a record on the 1 side, the latter must exist! This implies that the 1-side record must be added first; it also implies that it cannot be deleted as long as any record on the M side references it. Implementing the 1:M relationship in the actual database …
