Mark Dixon 3 Questions: Databases How many records are in the following table? How many fields does the following table have? 6 4

Mark Dixon 4 Questions: SQL Write an SQL statement to display the name and land mass of all countries in Africa. SELECT Name, Land Mass FROM Country WHERE Continent = 'Africa';

Mark Dixon 5 Questions: HTML in Java Are these correct (assume variables and fields exist)? f = f + r.getString("Description"); h = h + r.getString(" Name"); a = " " + a " "; html = html + ; h = " " + h + " ";   

Mark Dixon 6 Session Aims & Objectives Aims –To add dealing with multiple tables to your understanding of databases Objectives, by end of this week’s sessions, you should be able to: –identify a suitable primary key for a table –identify duplicated data in a single table –split that table to reduce data redundancy, using a suitable foreign key –generate SQL statements to (temporarily) join tables, and use these in your code –create a web page that allows the user to write (store) data in database

Mark Dixon 7 Data Duplication Look for repeating data: Track TitleArtist NameCountry ParanoidBlack SabbathUK Falling in LoveAerosmithUS PinkAerosmithUS Love in an ElevatorAerosmithUS Smooth CriminalAlien Ant FarmUS Meaning of LifeDisturbedUS The GameDisturbedUS VoicesDisturbedUS Down with the SicknessDisturbedUS Track

Mark Dixon 8 Problem: Data Duplication takes up lots of space can become inconsistent (misspellings) difficult to change (need to change each instance) difficult to search (misspellings)

Mark Dixon 9 Solution: Normalisation Part of database design Process of breaking data down (splitting) Codd –7 stages of normalisation Mathematical Difficult to apply stages Most professionals do it instinctively

Mark Dixon 30 Questions: Databases How many primary keys? How many foreign keys? 3 2

Mark Dixon 31 Example: Person v1 (Specification) User requirement: –Display people's details from database online –need 2 pages: smith jones dixon list of people jones person's details

Mark Dixon 32 Example: PeopleList.jsp v1 <% Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); Connection cn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:PeopleDB", "", ""); Statement st = cn.createStatement(); ResultSet r = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM [Person];"); String html = ""; while(r.next()){ html += r.getString("Surname") + " "; } cn.close(); %>

Mark Dixon 33 Example: PeopleList.jsp v2 <% Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); Connection cn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:PeopleDB", "", ""); Statement st = cn.createStatement(); ResultSet r = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM [Person];"); String html = ""; String id; while(r.next()){ id = Integer.toString(r.getInt("PersonID")); html += " "; html += r.getString("Surname") + " "; } cn.close(); %> now links

Mark Dixon 34 Example: Person.jsp v2 <% String id = request.getParameter("id"); Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); Connection cn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:PeopleDB", "", ""); Statement st = cn.createStatement(); ResultSet r = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM [Person] WHERE PersonID = " + id + ";" ); String surname = ""; if(r.next()){ surname = r.getString("Surname"); } cn.close(); %> Person Surname: " /> reads querystring (from previous page) displays data for selected record only

Mark Dixon 35 Tutorial Exercise: Person Task 1: Get the Person (v1) example from the lecture working. Task 2: Modify your code, so that forename is displayed as well as surname (use a table). Task 3: Get the Person (v2) example from the lecture working.
