Database Terms

– Data• A collection of numbers and text

– 273459368

– Information• Meaning derived from the data

– SSN: 273-45-9368

What is a database?• A large collection of data stored in a well-defined structure

– You can think of a database as• An electronic filing system• A repository for large amounts of information

– Example of a paper database• Telephone book

• Examples of computer databases– Ohio State stores student information in a database– Insurance companies store policy holder information in a

database– Your employer stores your information in a database


4

Database Software• How do I create a database?– Purchase the software

• We will use MS Access, but there are many database software products– Oracle– Sybase– SQL Server

• How do I access information in the database?– Purchase a Database Management System (DBMS)

• A DBMS is a collection of programs that enable you to enter, organize, and select data in a database.– We will use MS Access, but there are many database

management software products


Tables - a list of data organized into fields and records Queries - question structures to sort, filter and select

specific information Forms - structures for screen views of data Reports - structures for written output of data Program Modules & Macros - program code to perform

specific actions

Access DBMS “objects”:

Tables

• A table is an entity used to organize information by categories of like information

• A database is made up of one or more tables

CSE 2111 Introduction to Database Management Systems

7

Queries

• Used to extract information from a database

CSE 2111 Introduction to Database Management Systems

What is a database Form?• Structures for screen view and input of information• Used to simplify viewing and inputting of information

Datasheet View Form View


• Structures for viewing written output of information

What is a database Report?

• The design should be initially created schematically, and then the database should be created using the chosen database software

Steps when setting up a Database


11

1. Decide what information you will store in the database

This database is a very simplistic one. Most databases you create will be much more complex.

2. Create the layout of the database

• What tables do you need in your database?

• What is a table?– An entity used to organize information by categories of like

information


13

Research Papers Database Tables


• ClientStores client information

• ChargesStores client charges information

• PaymentsStores client payment information

• PaymentMethodStores the payment method

14


• What fields do you need in your database?• What is a field?– An attribute (piece of information) of the table/entity.

• How will you set them up?– Divide Tables into Inseparable Fields•Address as 1 field – • 17 Main St. New York, New York 10002

•Address as 4 fields• Street Address - 17 Main St. • City - New York• State - New York • Zip code – 10002

• Fields contain field types/data types and field properties• What is a field Type/Data Type?– Defines the type of information that can be stored. i.e. text,

numbers, dates, etc.• What is a field Property?– Field size– Input Mask– Validity– Default Value

• What will be the primary key for each table?• A field, or a collection of fields, whose values uniquely

identify each record in a table

Steps when setting up a Database

1. Decide what information you will store in the database


CSE 2111-Introduction to Database Management Systems 22

3. Create a relationship diagram to identify the table relationships, primary keys and foreign keys

• We know the information we want to store, but how do we match a customer’s name to their charges and payments?

• We need a way to relate these two tables to extract useful information.

• We can relate these two tables by matching the Client ID• Foreign key

• A field that defines the relationship between 2 tables• Relationship Rules

• Must be a primary key (unique) in at least one of the tables• The field names on each table do not have to match as long as

the information is the same.• The related fields must be the same data type

– number, text etc.

4. Create the database using the database software

• Create tables– Fields– Primary keys– Field Types– Field Properties

• Create Relationships– “Join” tables– Enforce Referential Data Integrity

• A set of rules that specifies what records may exist in each table– A record input with a foreign key must always have a matching record in the primary

key table in the relationship

• Cascade Delete Related Records– Removing any entry in a primary key field will automatically remove all entries in

foreign key fields of related tables.

• Cascade Update Related Records– Updating any entry in a primary key field will automatically update all entries in foreign

key fields of related tables.• Input the information


Once Relationships are established you can gather information from one or more tables to answer questions

• Create a list of account numbers and owner names and total transactions

• What are the total deposits made by accounts starting with 5?

• What is the total balance of all accounts held by Jane Doe ?

These requests are known as Queries


Defining Properties for each Field in a TableFor a person’s social security number use:• What field type?– Text, Number - Short Integer, Number- Long

Integer etc. • Should it be optional or required?• Does the value need to be within certain

limits or from a predefined list?• Is there a default value?• Would an input mask be appropriate


How should you decide what information goes on which table?

• If a fact appears in more than one record of a table, then this fact should probably be defined in another table.– Example: Account number

• Each fact should change in only one place– Example: Address

• Calculations shouldn’t be part of the database– Example: Current Balance

• Select a Primary Key where applicable so you can relate your tables– Example: Account number
