Why Learn M.S. Access?
• Learn to manipulate large datasets
• Lear the basics of relational databases
• Engineers need to manipulate large amounts of data
• Data sometimes comes in a variety of formats
• Data is both numeric and character or “string” data
• MS Access is part of the Office suite that you already have in your computer

Relational Structurel Data is organized into independent 2-
dimensional arrays (or a table)
l No formal linkages required between arrays
l Easy to modify the structure of a 2-D table
l Theoretically least complex and most intuitive structure for user
l However: 2-dimensional tables can be very large and cumbersome to manipulate
l Moreover, real world data comes from different sources and thus creating relationships between data sets

Basic Elements of Relational Database
Table:
columns
rows
Database: collection of tables
![Page 5: Databases Using MS Access128.173.204.63/courses/cee3804/cee3804_pub/Basic_Concepts_Dat… · Implementing Many-to-Many Relationships!More involved than one-to-many!Cannot simply treat](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051905/5ff6b73b53ab2a551a726293/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Alternative Relational TermsUsed in Textbooks or in the Database
Literature
table = relation = array
row = record = tuple
column = field = attribute

Table Concepts
l Table may have a name intended to convey the meaning of the table as a whole
lSize of table refers to the number of rows
lDegree of table refers to the number of columns
l The order of the rows or columns is not important (as long as we keep headings with columns). i.e. a sorted table is considered the same table
l Often denoted by table name with attributes BOOK(ISBN,Title,Price)

Design Principles for Relational Database
l Required key fields
l Normalization
– first normal form
– second normal form
– third normal form
![Page 9: Databases Using MS Access128.173.204.63/courses/cee3804/cee3804_pub/Basic_Concepts_Dat… · Implementing Many-to-Many Relationships!More involved than one-to-many!Cannot simply treat](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051905/5ff6b73b53ab2a551a726293/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Key Fieldl A key is a field or combination of fields that uniquely
identify each record
l Duplicate entries in key fields are not allowed within a table
l It is good practice, and often required, for each table to have key field(s)
l examples
– single key field: unique ID sample number
–multiple key field: date + time + location + pollutant

Keysl Set of attributes that uniquely defines any entity
from among all possible entities in the entity class that may appear in the database is called a superkey. Ex: ISBN
l Superkeys can contain more attributes than absolutely necessary, e.g. SSN and LastName for USCitizen class
l Key is minimal superkey, e.g SSN

Entity-Relationship Diagram
l Used to display the entity classes in a database model with their attributes and relationships
l entity class - rectangles
l attributes - ellipses
l relations - diamonds

Relationship Types
l One-to-one
– each entity in one table related to at most one entry in related table (i.e. fairly rare)
l One-to-many
– each entity in one table related to many entities in related table
l Many-to-many
![Page 14: Databases Using MS Access128.173.204.63/courses/cee3804/cee3804_pub/Basic_Concepts_Dat… · Implementing Many-to-Many Relationships!More involved than one-to-many!Cannot simply treat](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051905/5ff6b73b53ab2a551a726293/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Virginia Tech (copyright A.A. Trani)
Implementing One-to-Many Relationships
l Add key attribute from related table. Thus, to implement Publisher Of relationship
– BOOK(ISBN, Title, Price) becomes
– BOOK(ISBN, Title, Price, PublisherID)
– Publisher ID in Book entity class is referred to as foreign key, since is key for foreign entity class

Implementing Many-to-Many Relationships
l More involved than one-to-many
l Cannot simply treat as 2 one-to-many, would result in redundancy
l Need to add new table then treat as 2 one-to-many relationships
– BOOK/AUTHOR(ISDN,SSN)
l Usually not shown on initial ERD

Referential Integrity
l When using foreign keys to implement relationships, each value of foreign key must have matching value in related table, otherwise dangling reference
l This restriction termed referential constraint
l Ensuring referential restraint is termed ensuring referential integrity.
![Page 19: Databases Using MS Access128.173.204.63/courses/cee3804/cee3804_pub/Basic_Concepts_Dat… · Implementing Many-to-Many Relationships!More involved than one-to-many!Cannot simply treat](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051905/5ff6b73b53ab2a551a726293/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Virginia Tech (copyright A.A. Trani)
Referential Integrity, continued
l Referential integrity can be lost by adding new records with foreign key that does not exist in related table
l Referential integrity can also be lost if value of key is changed or deleted, e.g. delete a publisher in Publisher database
l Many records in the Book database now have dangling references
![Page 20: Databases Using MS Access128.173.204.63/courses/cee3804/cee3804_pub/Basic_Concepts_Dat… · Implementing Many-to-Many Relationships!More involved than one-to-many!Cannot simply treat](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051905/5ff6b73b53ab2a551a726293/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Cascading Updates and Deletions
l Options in many database programs.
l Cascading update:
lIf value in referenced key is changed, then all matching entries in the foreign key are automatically changed.
l Cascading delete:
lIf value in referenced key is deleted, then all matching records with same value in foreign key are deleted.
lMaintains referential integrity, but should be used with extreme caution.

First Normal Form•No more than one value may be contained in each field•The following table is not in first normal form because •There are multiple values in the Parameter and Concentration fields

Conversion to First Normal Forml Split records containing multiple entries in a field
into multiple records instead.
l The follow table shows the results of converting previous table to 1st normal form

Second Normal Forml All non-key fields must be a fact about the entire key

Basic Queries in the Database
l The power of the database manager resides in making queries
l Query: from the Latin word “quaerere” (to ask)
l Queries are instructions provided to the database that meet a certain criteria
l Queries can contain complex logical statements
l Queries can be saved so that they can be reused (filters are temporary search mechanisms)
