2. 2 Who am I? PhD student in Database research area 10 years experiences in DB application development 12 industry world projects in Finance, Education, Health Insurance, Manufacture, etc

3. 3 What could you learn from this course? You will understand the structure of DBMS and DB language (SQL). You will learn the index methods of database. You will learn how to implement a web application from scratch.

4. 4 Main content of the course Basic structure of DBMS Queries the database Create/Update table content/structure Design the database (ER model) Web interface for database A project that covers all contents in the course and you can implement a DBMS from scratch

5. 5 Main content of today 1. Introduction to DBMS 2. Relational rules 3. Sample database

6. 6 1.1 Database is everywhere Shop at supermarket (e.g., Stop&Shop, etc). Shop online (e.g., www.amazon.com).www.amazon.com Borrow book from library. ………..

7. 7 1.2 Structure of web DBMS Web browser Web server Databases and DBMS Structured Query Language (SQL)

8. 8 1.3 Products for each components ComponentProducts BrowerIE, Firefox, etc Web ServerMS IIS, Apache, Resin, etc DB ServerOracle, DB2, MySQL, MS SQL, MS Access, etc Operating SystemMS Window, Linux, Sun Solaris, etc Programming language MS ASP, Java, PHP, etc.

9. 9 1.4 What inside the database? A set of tables. Each table “is” a spread sheet.

10. 10 2. Relational rules for relational database Rule 1: First Normal Form Rule Rule 2: Access Row by Content Only Rule Rule 3: The Unique Row Rule Rule 4: Entity integrity Rule

11. 11 2.1 First Normal Form Rule Fields cannot have multi-values attributes or have any internal structures. Staff_IDNamePositionClients 001TonyManagerAmanda 002RobbieAgent Smith Andrew

14. 14 2.2 Access Row by Content Only Rule Records can only be retrieved by their content (the attribute values in each record). Implications: 1.There is no order on the records (e.g., We cannot ask for the 3 rd record in the employee table) 2. We cannot retrieve a “pointer” to a record to retrieve it later.

15. 15 2.3 The Unique Row Rule Two records in a table cannot be identical in all column values at once. Staff_IDNamePosition 001TonyManager 002RobbieAgent 001TonyManager Note: Keep this row in your mind. You might spend a lot of time and effort to enforce this rule.

16. 16 2.3 The Unique Row Rule (cont) Table Key: a set of attributes K with two properties: 1. K is unique for each record. 2. The subset of K is not unique for each record. Primary Key: is a table key chosen by the database designer to uniquely identify specific records in the table. Note: one table has more than one key, but only one primary key.

18. 18 2.4 Entity integrity Rule The primary key cannot be empty Staff_IDNamePosition 001TonyManager 003RobbieAgent nullScottAgent nullScottAgent Note: 1.Cannot retrieve the record by primary key. 2.Cannot distinguish duplicated records.
