1. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Database & SQL introduction Web Programming course Acknowledgement : this presentation uses examples from the w3c website; available at - http://www.w3schools.com

2. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Outline Database introduction  Motivation  History  Implementation SQL introduction

3. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Utility of Databases Data have value independent of use Organized approach to data management (e.g., data mining) Advantages  Eliminate redundancy in data  Share data  Archive data  Security of data  Integrity of data

4. Web programming course, Winter 2005 DEFINITION A collection of application programs that perform services to end users. Each program defines and manages its own data. File Based Systems

5. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Data Entry & Reports File handling Routines File Definition Sales Files Data Entry & Reports File handling Routines File Definition Lease Files File Based Processing physical structure and storage of the data files are defined in the program code

6. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Data Dependence Duplication of Data Incompatible file formats Limitations of File Based Systems How can these problems be resolved?

7. Web programming course, Winter 2005 A shared collection of logically related data designed to meet the information requirements of an organisation The Database Approach

8. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Data Entry & reports Data Entry & reports DBMS Sales Leases Application Programs App. Programs Database Database Processing

9. Web programming course, Winter 2005 DEFINITION A software system that enables users to define, create and maintain the database and which provides controlled access to the database Database Management System (DBMS)

10. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Allows users to define the database (DDL) Allows users to insert, update, delete & retrieve data (DML) Provides controlled access  a security system  an integrity system  a concurrency control system  a recovery system Facilities of a DBMS What does it mean to define a database?

11. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Hardware Software Data Procedures People Components of a DBMS

12. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Minimal data redundancy Consistency of data Integration of data Improved integrity Consistent security Standards Increased productivity Advantages

13. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Complexity Additional Hardware Costs Size Performance Experts -Specialised Personnel Potential organisational Conflict Higher impact of failure (centralized data source failure) Disadvantages

14. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Database Interfaces web server & interface prog relational database web browser dedicated applicationSQL command interface SQL

15. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Interaction and Feedback Transaction: non-decomposable unit of data manipulation  example: purchasing an airline ticket on-line  typically small and fast for commercial applications  may be long and involved in engineering applications Rollback: if any part of a transaction fails, all completed parts are “rolled back” or undone  example: if you haven’t provided your credit card number, airline ticket purchase on-line transaction fails  rollback ensures integrity of database  automatically done by DBMS

16. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Relational Database Model Database  Database is a collection of tables (relations)  Data are stored in tables Tables  Each table has a name  Each table has a set of columns (fields) and rows of data (records)  All operations process a table to produce a new table  Each table has a fixed number of columns  Each table has an arbitrary number of rows Based on set theory SQL (Structured Query Language)  DBMS independent language Why?

18. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Database Columns (Fields) Columns  Each column has a name  Columns are accessed by name  No standard column ordering  Does not make sense to say “the third column” like it does in a “paper” table or spreadsheet  Data in a column belongs to a particular domain Columns are the “attributes” of the dataset Each value in a column is from the same domain Each value in a column is of the same data type

19. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Database Rows (Records) Rows  Each row entry is either a simple value or empty ("null")  Rows are sets of values for the columns (attribute values)  Primary key: a set of columns that uniquely identifies each row  Each row must be unique given the primary key (no duplicates)  Rows are referenced by the primary key  Row order cannot be determined by the user (Does not make sense to say “the fourth row” like it does in a “paper” table or spreadsheet)

20. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Data Types Each row value is an instance of a primitive data type  Integer  Real (e.g., number, currency  Character (e.g., text, hyperlink, yes/no)  Date/Time No complex types in standard DBMS (matrix, drawing)  Object oriented databases may allow objects and structures Non existent value is “null”

21. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Domain types char(n): fixed length char string varchar(n): variable-length char string int or integer smallint numeric(p,d): fixed-point number of given precision real, double precision float(n): floats with a given precision date: containing year,month, and date time: in hours, minutes, and seconds Null value is part of each domain

22. Web programming course, Winter 2005 SQL Structured Query Language Communicate with databases Used to created and edit databases. Also used to create queries, forms, and reports

23. Web programming course, Winter 2005 DDL and DML SQL consists of two types of statements SQL Data Definition Language (DDL) permits database tables to be created or deleted inserts new data into a database table  CREATE TABLE - creates a new database table  ALTER TABLE - alters (changes) a database table  DROP TABLE - deletes a database table SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML)  SELECT - extracts data from a database table  UPDATE - updates data in a database table  DELETE - deletes data from a database table  INSERT INTO - inserts new data into a database table

24. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Define new domains and tables CREATE DOMAIN personDom CHAR(20); CREATE TABLE emp (enamepersonDom, dnoint default 0, salreal );

25. Web programming course, Winter 2005 “Select” clause 1 Specify attributes to project onto Emp (ename, dno, sal) SELECT * FROM Emp WHERE Emp.Sal < 60K; use ‘*’ to denote all attributes: SELECT columns FROM table WHERE condition ;

26. Web programming course, Winter 2005 “Select” clause 2 “SELECT” does not automatically eliminate duplicates. Emp (ename, dno, sal) Select dno From Emp; Use keyword distinct to explicitly remove duplicates Select distinct dno From Emp;

27. Web programming course, Winter 2005 “FROM” clause Specify relations E1: Emp (ename, dno, sal) Dept(dno, dname, mgr) E2: Emp (ename, dno, sal) SELECT columns FROM table WHERE condition ; SELECT E1.ename FROM Emp as E1, Dept, Emp as E2 WHERE E1.dno = Dept.dno AND Dept.mgr = E2.ename AND E1.sal > E2.sal; Renaming relations: Use “as” to define “tuple variables,” to disambiguate multiple references to the same relation ? Who makes more money than his boss?

28. Web programming course, Winter 2005 “WHERE” clause Specify optional conditions “Employees who work for Sally and have a salary < 90K” SELECT ename FROM Emp, Dept WHERE Emp.dno=Dept.dno AND D.mgr = ‘Lisa’ AND sal < 90000; Emp (ename, dno, sal)Dept(dno, dname, mgr) Lisa

29. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Conditions Used In Where Clause =equals >greater than <less than >=greater than or equal to <=less than or equal to <>not equal to

30. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Like Used to make complex searching easy. If you are trying to find all people’s names which begin with E for example: SELECT firstname FROM employee WHERE firstname LIKE 'E%';

31. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Ordering output tuples Order the tuples by dno. Within each dept, order salaries from highest to lowest. For salary ties, use alphabetical order on the name. SELECT * FROMEmp order by dno, sal, ename; enamednosallocation John12310000NY Roger12312000NY Mary24569460London Susan32312300London Joe12446000Paris

32. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Set Operations Union: . Intersect: . Except: - (select mgr from D where dname=‘toy’) union (select mgr from D where dname = ‘sells’); (select mgr from D where dname=‘toy’) intersect (select mgr from D where dname = ‘sales’); (select mgr from D where dname=‘toy’) except (select mgr from D where dname = ‘sells’); “Find names of people who are managers of either the toy or the sales department.” “Find names of people who are managers of both the toy and the sales departments.” “Find names of people who are managers of the toy but of the sales department.”

33. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Conserving Duplicates The UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT operators use the set semantics, not bag semantics. To keep duplicates, use “ALL” after the operators:  UNION ALL, INTERSECT ALL, EXCEPT ALL Student (ssno, name) TA (ssno, name) Result (SELECT ssno FROM student) UNION (SELECT ssno FROM ta); ALL

34. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Aggregation functions MIN, MAX, SUM, COUNT, AVG  input: collection of numbers/strings (depending on operation)  output: relation with a single attribute with a single row “What is the minimum, maximum, average salary of employees in the toy department” SELECT MIN(sal), MAX(sal), AVG(sal) FROM Emp, Dept WHERE Emp.dno = Dept.dno and D.dname = ’Toy’;

35. Web programming course, Winter 2005 JOIN Sometimes we have to select data from two or more tables to make our result complete. We have to perform a join Tables in a database can be related to each other with keys. A primary key is a column with a unique value for each row. The purpose is to bind data together, across tables, without repeating all of the data in every table.

36. Web programming course, Winter 2005 INNER JOIN The INNER JOIN returns all rows from both tables where there is a match. Employee_IDName 01Hansen, Ola 02Svendson, Tove 03 Svendson, Stephen 04Pettersen, Kari Orders: Prod_ID ProductEmployee_ID 234Printer01 657Table03 865Chair03 Employees: SELECT Employees.Name, Orders.Product FROM Employees INNER JOIN Orders ON Employees.Employee_ID=Orders.Employee_ID Result NameProduct Hansen, OlaPrinter Svendson, StephenTable Svendson, StephenChair If there are rows in Employees that do not have matches in Orders, those rows will not be listed

37. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Left\Right Join The LEFT JOIN returns all the rows from the first table (Employees), even if there are no matches in the second table (Orders). The RIGHT JOIN returns all the rows from the second table (Orders), even if there are no matches in the first table (Employees). SELECT Employees.Name, Orders.Product FROM Employees LEFT JOIN Orders ON Employees.Employee_ID=Orders.Employee_ID SELECT Employees.Name, Orders.Product FROM Employees RIGHT JOIN Orders ON Employees.Employee_ID=Orders.Employee_ID Name Product Hansen, OlaPrinter Svendson, Tove Svendson, StephenTable Svendson, StephenChair Pettersen, Kari NameProduct Hansen, OlaPrinter Svendson, StephenTable Svendson, StephenChair

38. Web programming course, Winter 2005 INSERT INTO The INSERT INTO statement is used to insert new rows into a table INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (value1, value2,....) INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2,...) VALUES (value1, value2,....) Or specify the columns for which you want to insert data:

39. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Insert Into Example LastNameFirstNameAddressCity PettersenKariSto 20Stav INSERT INTO Persons VALUES ('Hetland', 'Camilla', 'Hagabakka 24', 'Sandnes') LastName FirstNameAddressCity PettersenKariSto 20Stav HetlandCamillaHaga 24Sandnes

40. Web programming course, Winter 2005 UPDATE The UPDATE statement is used to modify the data in a table. UPDATE table_name SET column_name = new_value WHERE column_name = some_value

41. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Person: LastName FirstNameAddressCity NilsenFredKirk 56Stav Rasmussen Sto 67 LastName FirstNameAddressCity NilsenFredKirk56Stav RasmussenNinaSto 67 UPDATE Person SET FirstName = 'Nina' WHERE LastName = 'Rasmussen' UPDATE Person SET Address = 'Stien 12', City = 'Stav' WHERE LastName = 'Rasmussen' LastName FirstNameAddressCity NilsenFredKirk56Stav RasmussenNina Stien 12 Stav

42. Web programming course, Winter 2005 DELETE The DELETE statement is used to delete rows in a table. DELETE FROM table_name WHERE column_name = some_value LastName FirstNameAddressCity NilsenFredKirk 56Stav DELETE FROM Person WHERE LastName = 'Rasmussen' LastName FirstNameAddressCity NilsenFredKirk56Stav RasmussenNina Stien 12 Stav

43. Web programming course, Winter 2005 Summary Why uses databases instead of file systems, what are the pro-cons, when to use each alternative? What is a relational database? How can you define its semantics? What is SQL? What are DDL and DML? What statements are related to each SQL rule
