14. Final: 20% June 5, 8:30-10:30, same room Challenging and fun

15. Database What is a database ? Give examples of databases

16. Database What is a database ? A collection of files storing related data Give examples of databases Accounts database; payroll database; UW’s students database; Amazon’s products database; airline reservation database

17. Database Management System What is a DBMS ? Give examples of DBMS

18. Database Management System What is a DBMS ? A big C program written by someone else that allows us to manage efficiently a large database and allows it to persist over long periods of time Give examples of DBMS DB2 (IBM), SQL Server (MS), Oracle, Sybase MySQL, Postgres, …

19. Market Shares From 2004 www.computerworld.com IMB: 35% market with $2.5BN in sales Oracle: 33% market with $2.3BN in sales Microsoft: 19% market with $1.3BN in sales

20. An Example The Internet Movie Database http://www.imdb.com http://www.imdb.com Entities: Actors (800k), Movies (400k), Directors, … Relationships: who played where, who directed what, … Want to store and process locally; what functions do we need ?

21. Functionality 1.Create/store large datasets 2.Search/query/update 3.Change the structure 4.Concurrent access to many user 5.Recover from crashes 6.Security (not here, but in other apps)

22. Possible Organizations Files Spreadsheets DBMS

23. 1. Create/store Large Datasets Files Spreadsheets DBMS Yes, but… Not really… Yes

24. 2. Search/Query/Update Simple query: –In what year was ‘Rain man’ produced ? Multi-table query: –Find all movies by ‘Coppola’ Complex query: –For each actor, count her/his movies Updating –Insert a new movie; add an actor to a movie; etc

25. 2. Search/Query/Update Files Spreadsheets DBMS Simple queries Multi-table queries (maybe) All Updates: generally OK

26. 3. Change the Structure Add Address to each Actor Files Spreadsheets DBMS Very hard Yes

27. 4. Concurrent Access Multiple users access/update the data concurrently What can go wrong ? How do we protect against that in OS ? This is insufficient in databases; why ?

28. 4. Concurrent Access Multiple users access/update the data concurrently What can go wrong ? –Lost update; resulting in inconsistent data How do we protect against that in OS ? –Locks

29. 4. Concurrent Access X = Read(Accounts, A); X.amount = X.amount - 100; Write(Accounts, A, X); Y = Read(Accounts, B); Y.amount = Y.amount + 100; Write(Accounts, B, Y); X = Read(Accounts, A); X.amount = X.amount - 100; Write(Accounts, A, X); Y = Read(Accounts, B); Y.amount = Y.amount + 100; Write(Accounts, B, Y); Transfer $100 from account A to B: Find total amount in A and B: X = Read(Accounts, A); Y = Read(Accounts, B); S = X.amount + Y.amount return S X = Read(Accounts, A); Y = Read(Accounts, B); S = X.amount + Y.amount return S What can go wrong ? Do locks help ?

30. 5. Recover from crashes X = Read(Accounts, A); X.amount = X.amount - 100; Write(Accounts, A, X); Y = Read(Accounts, B); Y.amount = Y.amount + 100; Write(Accounts, B, Y); X = Read(Accounts, A); X.amount = X.amount - 100; Write(Accounts, A, X); Y = Read(Accounts, B); Y.amount = Y.amount + 100; Write(Accounts, B, Y); CRASH ! What is the problem ?

31. Enters a DMBS Data files Database server (someone else’s C program) Applications connection (ODBC, JDBC) “Two tier system” or “client-server”

32. DBMS = Collection of Tables Still implemented as files, but behind the scenes can be quite complex Directors:Movie_Directors: Movies: “data independence” idfNamelName 15901Francis FordCoppola... midTitleYear 130128The Godfather1972... idmid 15901130128...

33. 1. Create/store Large Datasets Use SQL to create and populate tables: CREATE TABLE Actors ( Name CHAR(30) DateOfBirth CHAR(20) )... CREATE TABLE Actors ( Name CHAR(30) DateOfBirth CHAR(20) )... INSERT INTO Actors VALUES(‘Tom Hanks’,...) INSERT INTO Actors VALUES(‘Tom Hanks’,...) Size and physical organization is handled by DBMS We focus on modeling the database Will study data modeling in this course

34. 2. Searching/Querying/Updating Find all movies by ‘Coppola’ What happens behind the scene ? SELECT title FROM Movies, Directors, Movie_Directors WHERE Directors.lname = ‘Coppola’ and Movies.mid = Movie_Directors.mid and Movie_Directors.id = Directors.id We will study SQL in gory details in this course We will discuss the query optimizer in class.

35. 3. Changing the Structure Add Address to each Actor ALTER TABLE Actor ADD address CHAR(50) DEFAULT ‘unknown’ Lots of cleverness goes on behind the scenes

36. 3&4 Concurrency&Recovery: Transactions A transaction = sequence of statements that either all succeed, or all fail E.g. Transfer $100 BEGIN TRANSACTION; UPDATE Accounts SET amount = amount - 100 WHERE number = 4662 UPDATE Accounts SET amount = amount + 100 WHERE number = 7199 COMMIT BEGIN TRANSACTION; UPDATE Accounts SET amount = amount - 100 WHERE number = 4662 UPDATE Accounts SET amount = amount + 100 WHERE number = 7199 COMMIT

37. Transactions Transactions have the ACID properties: A = atomicity C = consistency I = isolation D = durability

38. 4. Concurrent Access Serializable execution of transactions –The I (=isolation) in ACID We study three techniques in this course Locks Timestamps Validation

39. 5. Recovery from crashes Every transaction either executes completely, or doesn’t execute at all –The A (=atomicity) in ACID We study three types of log files in this course Undo log file Redo log file Undo/Redo log file
