Relational Databases, Database Servers and RDBMS
5
Database models Hierarchical (tree) Network / graph Relational (table) Object-oriented Relational databases Represent a bunch of tables together with the relationships between them Rely on a strong mathematical foundation: the relational algebra 5
6
Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) manage data stored in tables RDBMS systems typically implement Creating / altering / deleting tables and relationships between them (database schema) Adding, changing, deleting, searching and retrieving of data stored in the tables Support for SQL language Transaction management (optional) 6
7
RDBMS systems are also known as: Database management servers Or just database servers Popular RDBMS servers: Microsoft SQL Server Oracle Database IBM DB 2 PostgreSQL MySQL Borland Interbase, SQLite, … 7

Database Tables, Relationships, Multiplicity
9
Database tables consist of data, arranged in rows and columns For example (table Persons ): All rows have the same structure Columns have name and type (number, string, date, image, or other) Id First Name Last Name Employer1SvetlinNakovTelerik 2StephenForteTelerik 3SteveJobsApple 9
10
The schema of a table is an ordered sequence of column specifications (name and type) For example the Persons table has the following schema: 10 Persons ( Id: number, Id: number, FirstName: string, FirstName: string, LastName: string, LastName: string, Employer: string Employer: string)
11
Primary key is a column of the table that uniquely identifies its rows (usually its is a number) Two records (rows) are different if and only if their primary keys are different The primary key can be composed by several columns (composite primary key) Id First Name Last Name Employer1SvetlinNakovTelerik 2StephenForteTelerik 3SteveJobsApple 11 Primary key
12
Relationships between tables are based on interconnections: primary key / foreign key 12IdName CountryId 1Sofia1 2Plovdiv1 3Munich2 4Berlin2 5Moscow3 IdName1Bulgaria 2Germany 3Russia Towns Countries Primary key Foreign key
13
The foreign key is an identifier of a record located in another table (usually its primary key) By using relationships we avoid repeating data in the database In the last example the name of the country is not repeated for each town (its number is used instead) Relationships have multiplicity: One-to-many – e.g. country / towns Many-to-many – e.g. student / course One-to-one – e.g. example human / student 13
14
Relationship one-to-many (or many-to-one) A single record in the first table has many corresponding records in the second table Used very often 14IdName CountryId 1Sofia1 2Plovdiv1 3Munich2 4Berlin2 5Moscow3 IdName1Bulgaria 2Germany 3Russia Towns Countries
15
Relationship many-to-many Records in the first table have many correspon- ding records in the second one and vice versa Implemented through additional table 15IdName1Pesho 2Minka 3Gosho 4Penka IdName1.NET 2Java 3PHP Students Courses StudentId CourseId 11 12 32 33 42 StudentsCourses

Entity / Relationship Diagrams and DB Modeling Tools
20
Relational schema of a DB is the collection of: The schemas of all tables Relationships between the tables Any other database objects (e.g. constraints) The relational schema describes the structure of the database Doesn't contain data, but metadata Relational schemas are graphically displayed in Entity / Relationship diagrams (E/R Diagrams) 20
21
21 The diagram is created with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
22
22 The diagram is created with ERwin
23
23 The diagram is created with fabFORCE DB Designer for MySQL
24

25
Data modeling tools allow building E/R diagrams, generate / import DB schemas: SQL Server Management Studio Oracle JDeveloper Microsoft Visio CASE Studio Computer Associates ERwin IBM Rational Rose theKompany Data Architect 25
26
Avoiding Duplicated Data through Database Schema Normalization
27
Normalization of the relational schema removes repeating data Non-normalized schemas can contain many data repetitions, e.g. 27ProductProducerPriceCategoryShopTownyoghurt Mlexis LTD 0.67food store "Mente" Sofia bread "Dobrudja" Bakery "Smoky" 0.85 food store "Mente" Sofia beer "Zagorka" Zagorka CO 0.68 soft drinks stall "non- stop" Varna beer "Tuborg" Shumen Drinks CO 0.87 soft drinks stall "non- stop" Varna
28
1 -st Normal Form Data is stored in tables Fields in the rows are atomic (inseparable) values There are no repetitions within a single row A primary key is defined for each table 28BookTitle ISBN (PK) AuthorAuthorEmail.NET Framework 3847028437 Mr. Kiro bai-kiro@abv.bg Beginning SQL 7234534450Santadedo@mraz.org
29
2 -nd Normal Form Retains all requirements of 1 -st Normal Form There are no columns that depend on part of the primary key (if it consists of several columns) 29 BookTitle (PK) Author (PK) Price AuthorEmail.NET Framework Mr. Kiro 37.25bai-kiro@abv.bg Beginning SQL Santa Claus 19.95dedo@mraz.org The price depends on the book E-mail depends on the author
30
3 -rd Normal Form Retains all requirements of 2 -nd Normal Form The only dependencies between columns are of type "a column depends on the PK" 30IdProduct Producer Id Price Category Id Shop Id Town Id 1Yoghourt20.67241 2 bread "Tipov" 3 0.85 241 3 rakiya "Biserna" 6 6.38 521 4 beer "Tuborg" 4 0.87 413
31
4-th Normal Form Retains all requirements of 3-rd Normal Form There is one column at most in each table that can have many possible values for a single key (multi-valued attribute) 31AuthorIdBookArticle2.NET Programming Regular Expressions in.NET 4 Mastering JavaScript AJAX Performance Patterns One author can have many books One author can have many articles

33
Constraints, Indices, SQL, Stored Procedures, Views, Triggers
34
Integrity constraints ensure data integrity in the database tables Enforce data rules which cannot be violated Primary key constraint Ensures that the primary key of a table has unique value for each table row Unique key constraint Ensures that all values in a certain column (or a group of columns) are unique 34
35
Foreign key constraint Ensures that the value in given column is a key from another table Check constraint Ensures that values in a certain column meet some predefined condition Examples: 35 (hour >= 0) AND (hour = 0) AND (hour < 24) name = UPPER(name)
36
Indices speed up searching of values in a certain column or group of columns Usually implemented as B-trees Indices can be built-in the table (clustered) or stored externally Adding and deleting records in indexed tables is slower! Indices should be used for big tables only (e.g. 50 000 rows) 36
37
SQL (Structured Query Language) Standardized declarative language for manipulation of relational databases SQL-99 is currently in use in most databases SQL language supports: Creating, altering, deleting tables and other objects in the database Searching, retrieving, inserting, modifying and deleting table data (rows) 37
38
SQL consists of: DDL – Data Definition Language CREATE, ALTER, DROP commands DML – Data Manipulation Language SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE commands Example of SQL SELECT query: 38 SELECT Towns.Name, Countries.Name FROM Towns, Countries WHERE Towns.CountryId = Countries.Id
39
Stored procedures (database-level procedures) Consist of SQL-like code stored in the database Code executed inside the database server Much faster than an external code Data is locally accessible Can accept parameters Can return results Single value Record sets 39
40
Stored procedures are written in a language extension of SQL T-SQL – in Microsoft SQL Server PL/SQL – in Oracle Example of stored procedure in Oracle PL/SQL: 40 CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE spInsertCountry(countryName varchar2) IS BEGIN INSERT INTO Countries(Name) INSERT INTO Countries(Name) VALUES(countryName); VALUES(countryName);END;
41
Views are named SQL SELECT queries which are used as tables Simplify data access Facilitate writing of complex SQL queries Used also to apply security restrictions: E.g. a certain user isn't given permissions on any of the tables in the database The user is given permissions on few views (subset of DB) and few stored procedures only 41

V_BGCompanies
44
Triggers are special stored procedures that are activate when some event occurs, for instance: When inserting a record When changing a record When deleting a record Triggers can perform additional data processing of the affected rows, e.g. To change the newly added data To maintain logs and history 44
45
We have a table holding company names: A trigger that appends "Ltd." at the end of the name of a new company: 45 CREATE TABLE Companies( Id number NOT NULL, Id number NOT NULL, Name varchar(50) NOT NULL) Name varchar(50) NOT NULL) CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trg_Companies_INSERT BEFORE INSERT ON Company BEFORE INSERT ON Company FOR EACH ROW FOR EACH ROWBEGIN :NEW.Name := :NEW.Name || ' Ltd.'; :NEW.Name := :NEW.Name || ' Ltd.';END;
46
ACID Transactions and Isolation
47
Transactions are a sequence of database operations which are executed as a single unit: Either all of them execute successfully Or none of them is executed at all Example: A bank transfer from one account into another (withdrawal + deposit) If either the withdrawal or the deposit fails the entire operation should be cancelled 47
48
Rollback Commit 48 Read Write Write Durable starting state Durable,consistent, ending state Sequence of reads and writes
49
Transactions guarantee the consistency and the integrity of the database All changes in a transaction are temporary Changes become final when COMMIT is successfully executed At any time all changes done in the transaction can be canceled by executing ROLLBACK All operations are executed as a single unit Either all of them pass or none of them 49
50
Withdraw $100 1. Read savings acc. 2. New savings = current - 100 3. Read checking acc. 4. New checking = current + 100 5. Write the savings 6. Write the checking 1. Read the current balance 2. New balance = current - 100 3. Write the new balance 4. Dispense cash Transfer $100 50
51
Atomicity Either execute everything or nothing Consistency The database remains consistent with logically correct data (e.g. no constraint is violated) Isolation Different transactions are isolated from each other depending on the selected isolation level Durability If a transaction is confirmed, it cannot be lost 51
52
We have a table with bank accounts: We use a transaction to transfer money from one account into another 52 CREATE TABLE Accounts( Id int NOT NULL, Id int NOT NULL, Balance decimal NOT NULL) Balance decimal NOT NULL) CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_Transfer_Funds( fromAccount IN INT, fromAccount IN INT, toAccount IN INT, toAccount IN INT, ammount IN NUMBER) IS ammount IN NUMBER) ISBEGIN
53
53 UPDATE Accounts set Balance = Balance - ammount UPDATE Accounts set Balance = Balance - ammount WHERE id = fromAccount; WHERE id = fromAccount; IF SQL % ROWCOUNT = 0 THEN IF SQL % ROWCOUNT = 0 THEN ROLLBACK; ROLLBACK; RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'Invalid src account!'); RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001, 'Invalid src account!'); END IF; END IF; UPDATE Accounts set Balance = Balance + ammount UPDATE Accounts set Balance = Balance + ammount WHERE id = to_account; WHERE id = to_account; IF SQL % ROWCOUNT = 0 THEN IF SQL % ROWCOUNT = 0 THEN ROLLBACK; ROLLBACK; RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20002, 'Invalid dst account!'); RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20002, 'Invalid dst account!'); END IF; END IF; COMMIT; COMMIT;END;
54
Transactions can define different isolation levels that affect other parallel transactions Stronger isolation ensures better consistency but works slower and the data is locked longer Level of Isolation Dirty Reads Repeatable Reads Phantom Reads Read Uncommitted YesYesYes Read Committed NoYesYes Repeatable Read NoNoYes SerializableNoNoNo 54
55
When transactions should be used? Always use transactions when a business operation modifies more than one table Example: At the cash-desk in a supermarket: we buy a cart of products We either buy all of them and pay for them or we buy nothing and pay no money If any of the operations fail we cancel the entire transaction (the purchase) 55
