SLIDE 4IS 257 – Fall 2006 ColdFusion Developing WWW sites typically involved a lot of programming to build dynamic sites –e.g. Pages generated as a result of catalog searches, etc. ColdFusion was designed to permit the construction of dynamic web sites with only minor extensions to HTML through a DBMS interface

SLIDE 5IS 257 – Fall 2006 What ColdFusion is Good for Putting up databases onto the Web Handling dynamic databases (Frequent updates, etc) Making databases searchable and updateable by users.

SLIDE 9IS 257 – Fall 2006 PHP PHP is an Open Source Software project with many programmers working on the code. –Commonly paired with MySQL, another OSS project –Free –Both Windows and Unix support Estimated that more than 250,000 web sites use PHP as an Apache Module.

SLIDE 10IS 257 – Fall 2006 PHP Syntax Similar to ASP Includes most programming structures (Loops, functions, Arrays, etc.) Loads HTML form variables so that they are addressable by name <?php $myvar = “Hello World”; echo $myvar ; ?>

SLIDE 11IS 257 – Fall 2006 Combined with MySQL DBMS interface appears as a set of functions: <?php $db = mysql_connect(“localhost”, “root”); mysql_select_db(“mydb”,$db); $result = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM employees”, $db); Printf(“First Name: %s \n”, mysql_result($result, 0 “first”); Printf(“Last Name: %s \n”, mysql_result($result, 0 “last”); ?>

SLIDE 36IS 257 – Fall 2006 MySQL myths The MySQL.com web site contains a list of common myths and misconceptions about MySQL and refutes them: –MYTH: MySQL is a new, untested database management system –MYTH: MySQL doesn’t support transactions like other proprietary database engines (it is supposed to be in the version we use here) –MYTH: MySQL is only for small, departmental, or web-based applications –MYTH: MySQL doesn’t offer enterprise-class features –MYTH: MySQL doesn’t have the type of support large corporations need –MYTH: MySQL isn’t open source any more

SLIDE 37IS 257 – Fall 2006 MySQL documentation MySQL is available for download from MySQL.com In addition that site has complete online documentation for the MySQL system and for the mysql client program in their ‘Developer Zone’ –The online manuals are quite readable and have lot of examples to help you

SLIDE 38IS 257 – Fall 2006 MySQL Data Types MySQL supports all of the standard SQL numeric data types. These types include the exact numeric data types (INTEGER, SMALLINT, DECIMAL, and NUMERIC), as well as the approximate numeric data types (FLOAT, REAL, and DOUBLE PRECISION). The keyword INT is a synonym for INTEGER, and the keyword DEC is a synonym for DECIMAL Numeric (can also be declared as UNSIGNED) –TINYINT (1 byte) –SMALLINT (2 bytes) –MEDIUMINT (3 bytes) –INT (4 bytes) –BIGINT (8 bytes) –NUMERIC or DECIMAL –FLOAT –DOUBLE (or DOUBLE PRECISION)

SLIDE 39IS 257 – Fall 2006 MySQL Data Types The date and time types for representing temporal values are DATETIME, DATE, TIMESTAMP, TIME, and YEAR. Each temporal type has a range of legal values, as well as a “zero” value that is used when you specify an illegal value that MySQL cannot represent –DATETIME ' :00:00' –DATE ' ' –TIMESTAMP (4.1 and up) ' :00:00' –TIMESTAMP (before 4.1) –TIME '00:00:00' –YEAR 0000

SLIDE 40IS 257 – Fall 2006 MySQL Data Types The string types are CHAR, VARCHAR, BINARY, VARBINARY, BLOB, TEXT, ENUM, and SET Maximum length for CHAR and VARCHAR is 255 For longer things there is BLOB and TEXT

SLIDE 41IS 257 – Fall 2006 MySQL Data Types A BLOB is a binary large object that can hold a variable amount of data. The four BLOB types are TINYBLOB, BLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, and LONGBLOB. These differ only in the maximum length of the values they can hold The four TEXT types are TINYTEXT, TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, and LONGTEXT. These correspond to the four BLOB types and have the same maximum lengths and storage requirements TINY=1byte, BLOB and TEXT=2bytes, MEDIUM=3bytes, LONG=4bytes

SLIDE 42IS 257 – Fall 2006 MySQL Data Types BINARY and VARBINARY are like CHAR and VARCHAR but are intended for binary data of 255 bytes or less ENUM is a list of values that are stored as their addresses in the list –For example, a column specified as ENUM('one', 'two', 'three') can have any of the values shown here. The index of each value is also shown: Value = Index NULL = NULL ‘’ = 0 'one’ = 1 ‘two’ = 2 ‘three’ = 3 –An enumeration can have a maximum of 65,535 elements.

SLIDE 43IS 257 – Fall 2006 MySQL Data Types The final string type (for this version) is a SET A SET is a string object that can have zero or more values, each of which must be chosen from a list of allowed values specified when the table is created. SET column values that consist of multiple set members are specified with members separated by commas (‘,’) For example, a column specified as SET('one', 'two') NOT NULL can have any of these values: –'' –'one' –'two' –'one,two‘ A set can have up to 64 member values and is stored as an 8byte number

SLIDE 44IS 257 – Fall 2006 MySQL Demo MySQL is on Dream, like ORACLE Setup via My.SIMS Unix command for interactive use is ‘mysql’ which needs to include ‘-p’ to be prompted for the password, and optionally includes your database name, e.g.: –mysql ray –p Note that the version on Dream is not the latest – it is currently V , latest is 5.1
