BuSINESS VIgNETTE THE RELATIONAL REVOLuTION AN HISTORICALjOuRNEy Until the late 1970s, databases stored large amounts of data in structures that wereinflexible and difficult to navigate. Programmers needed to know what clients wanted to do with the data before the database was designed. Adding or changing the way the data were stored or analysed was time-consuming and expensive. In
1970,
Edgar Ted
Codd,
a mathematician
employed
by IBM,
published
a groundbreaking
article entitled A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks. At the time, nobody realised that Codds theories would spark atechnological revolution on par with the development of personal computers and the internet. Don Chamberlin, co-inventor of SQL, the most popular database
query language
today,
explains:
There
was this
guy Ted Codd
who had some
kind of
strange mathematical notation, but nobody took it very seriously. Then Ted Codd organised a symposium, and Chamberlin listened as Codd reduced complicated five-page programs to one line. And I said, Wow, Chamberlin recalls. The symposium convinced IBM to fund System R, a research project that built a prototype of a relational database, which would eventually
lead
to the
creation
of SQL and
DB2. IBM,
however,
kept
System
R on the
back
burner for a number of years, which turned out to be a crucial decision, because the company had a vested interest in IMS, areliable, high-end database system that had been released in 1968. At about the same time as System Rstarted up, two professors from the University of California at Berkeley, who had read Codds work, established a similar project called Ingres. The competition between
the two tight-knit
groups
fuelled
a series
of papers.
Unaware
of the
market
potential
of
this research, IBM allowed its staff to publish these papers. Among those reading the papers was Larry Ellison, who had just founded a small company called Software Development Laboratories. Recruiting programmers from System R and Ingres, and securing funding from the CIA and the Navy, Ellison
was able to
market the first
SQL-based
relational
database
in 1979,
well before IBM.
By 1983, the company (Software Development Laboratories) had released a portable version of the database, had grossed over 13 910 000 annually, and had changed its name to Oracle.

PART I
Database
Systems
Spurred on by competition, IBM finally released SQL/DS, its first relational database, in 1980.1 In 2008, a group of leading database researchers metin Berkeley and issued a report declaring that the industry had reached an exciting turning point and was on the verge of another database revolution.2
In 2010, Oracle acquired MySQL as part ofits acquisition of Sun. It has since maintained the free open-source MySQL Community Edition while providing several versions (Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition and Cluster Edition) for commercial customers. In 2019, the release of MySQL Document
Store
brought together
the
SQL and the
NoSQL languages,
enabling
developers
to link
SQL relational tables to schema-less NoSQL databases.3 Oracles latest offering is Oracle Database 19c, where the c represents cloud; new versions now come out every year. In our historical journey, we must also mention PostgreSQL, developed in1986 as part of the POSTGRES project at the University of California at Berkeley. PostgreSQL4 is afree, open source, object-relational
database
that
extends
the traditional
SQL language
by allowing
creation
of new
datatypes and functions, and the ability to write code in different programming languages. It is a strong competitor to MySQL, given that it has had over 33 years of active development. Analysts, journalists and business leaders continually see new developments with data acquisition and its management, such as the explosion of unstructured data, the growing importance
of business intelligence,
and the
emergence
of cloud technologies,
which
may require
the development of new database models. Although traditional relational databases meetrigorous standards for data integrity and consistency, they do not scale unstructured data as well as new database models such as NoSQL. NoSQL is also known as a non-relational database, which allows
the
storage
and retrieval
of unstructured
data using
a dynamic
schema.
A key
question
asked by database developers today is whether they need a NoSQL database or an SQL database for their application. For example, Twitter and Facebook, which do not require high levels of data consistency and integrity, have adopted NoSQL databases. In 2019, businesses are opting for SQL and NoSQL multiple database combinations, which suggests that one size does not fit all. As of
March 2019, the
most popular
database
management
systems
worldwide
were Oracle,
MySQL, Microsoft SQL and PostgreSQL.5 So, whatis the future? Disruptive database technologies are required for business to remain competitive and the key is real-time data. Alternative database models such as cloud database platforms, which have the capability for real-time data analytics, are for certain. Big data has a role to play as additional data sources must be processed using data

manual File Systems
1 To be successful,
an organisation
must develop
systems
for handling
core business
tasks.
Historically,
such systems were often manual, paper-and-pencil systems. The papers within these systems were organised to facilitate the expected use of the data. Typically, this was accomplished through a system of file folders and filing cabinets. As long as a collection of data was relatively small and an organisations
business
users had few reporting
requirements,
the
manual system
served its role
well
as a data repository. However, as organisations grew and as reporting requirements became more complex, keeping track of data in a manual file system became more difficult. Therefore, companies looked to computer technology for help.
1.4.2 Computerised
File Systems
Generating
manual file
reports
from
systems
was slow
and
cumbersome.
In fact,
some
business
managers faced government-imposed reporting requirements that led to weeks of intensive effort each quarter, even when a well-designed manual system was used. Therefore, a data processing (DP) specialist was hired to create a computer-based system that would track data and produce required
reports.
Initially,
the
computer
files
within the file
system
were similar
to the
manual files.
A
simple example of a customer data file for a small insurance company is shown in Figure 1.3. (You will discover later that the file structure shown in Figure 1.3, although typically found in early file systems, is unsatisfactory for a database.)The description of computer files requires a specialised vocabulary. Every discipline develops its own terminology to enable its practitioners to communicate clearly. The basic file vocabulary
shown in Table

will help you to understand

its
purpose
well:
requested reports could usually be generated. But suppose you want to create a customer phone directory based on the data stored in the CUSTOMER file. Storing the customer name as a single field turns out to be aliability because the directory must break up the field contents to list the last names, first

code. Including the area code in the phone number field is inefficient. Similarly, producing alisting of customers by city is a more difficult task than is necessary. From the users point of view, a much better (more flexible) record definition would be one that anticipates reporting requirements by breaking up fields into their component parts. Thus, the CUSTOMER files fields
might be listed

managing the Database System: A Shift in Focus
1 The introduction
of a database
system
provides
a framework
in
which strict
procedures
and standards
can be enforced. Consequently, the role of the human component changes from an emphasis on programming to afocus on the broader aspects of managing the organisations data resources and on the administration of the complex database software itself. The database
system
makes it possible
to tackle
far
more sophisticated
uses of the
data resources
as long as the database is designed accordingly. The kinds of data structures created within the database and the extent of the relationships among them play a powerful role in determining the effectiveness of the database system. Although the database system yields considerable advantages over previous data management approaches,
database
systems
do impose
significant
overheads.
For example:
Increased costs. Database systems require sophisticated hardware and software and highly skilled personnel. The cost of maintaining the hardware, software and personnel required to operate and manage a database system can be substantial. Management complexity. Database systems interface with many different technologies and have a significant impact on a companys resources and culture. The changes introduced by the adoption of a database system must be properly managed to ensure that they help advance the companys objectives. Given the fact that database systems hold crucial company data that are accessed from
multiple sources,
security issues
must be assessed

PREPARINg FOR yOuR DATABASE PROFESSIONAL CAREER
In this chapter, you wereintroduced to the concepts of data, information, databases and DBMSs. You also learnt that, regardless of what type of database you use (OLTP or OLAP), or whattype of database environment
you are
working in (for
example,
Oracle,
Microsoft
or IBM),
the
success
of a database
system greatly depends on how wellthe database structure is designed. Throughout this book, you willlearn the building blocks that lay the foundation for your career as a database professional. Understanding these building blocks and developing the skills to use them effectively will prepare you to work with databases at many different levels within an organisation. A small sample
of such

Database design defines the database structure. A well-designed database facilitates data management and generates accurate and valuable information. A poorly designed database can lead to bad decision making, and bad decision making can lead to the failure of an organisation. Databases evolved from manual and then computerised file systems. In afile system, data are stored in independent files, each requiring its own data management programs. Although this method of data management is largely outmoded, understanding its characteristics makes database design easier to understand. Awareness of the problems of file systems can help you avoid

Traditionally, database designers relied on good judgement to help them develop a good design. Unfortunately, good judgement is often in the eye of the beholder, and it often develops after much trial and error. Fortunately, data models (relatively simple representations, usually graphical, of more complex real-world data structures), bolstered by powerful database design tools, have made it possible

is an abstraction of a more complex real-world object or event. A models mainfunction is to help you understand the complexities of the real-world environment. Within the database environment, a data model represents data structures and their characteristics, relationships, constraints and transformations.

user. A well-developed data model can even foster improved understanding of the organisation for which the database design is developed. This important aspect of data modelling was summed up neatly by a client whose reaction was as follows: I created this business, I worked with this business for years,

all the
pieces really fit together.
Theimportance of data modelling cannot be overstated. Data constitute the most basic information units employed by a system. Applications are created to manage data and to help transform data into information. But data are viewed in different ways by different people. For example, contrast the (data) view of a company manager with that of a company clerk. Although the manager and the clerk both work for the
same
company,
the
manager is
more likely
to
have an enterprise-wide
view
of company
data than the clerk. Even different managers view data differently. For example, a company director is likely to take a universal view of the data because he or she must be able to tie the companys divisions to a common (database) vision. A purchasing manager in the same company is likely to have a more restricted view of the
data,
as is the

formatting and specific reporting requirements. Basically, applications programmers translate company policies and procedures from a variety of sources into appropriate interfaces, reports and query screens. The different users and producers of data and information often reflect the blindfolded people and the elephant analogy: the blindfolded person whofelt the elephants trunk had quite a different view of the

Likewise, a sound data environment requires an overall database blueprint based on an appropriate data model. When a good

In Figure 2.2, the relational diagram shows the connecting fields (in this case, AGENT_CODE) and the relationship type, 1:*. In this example, the CUSTOMER represents the many side because an AGENT can have many CUSTOMERs. The AGENT represents the 1 side because each CUSTOMER has only one
AGENT.
Arelational table stores a collection of related entities. In this respect, the relational database table resembles a file. However, there is one crucial difference between a table and a file: a table yields complete data and structural independence because it is a purely logical structure. How the data are physically stored in the database is of no concern to the user or the designer; the perception is what counts.
And this
property
of the relational
database
model, explored
in
depth in the
next
chapter,
became the source of a real database revolution. Another reason for the relational database models rise to dominance is its powerful and flexible query language. Relational algebra, which was defined by Codd in 1971, wasthe basis for manyrelational query languages
and
will be introduced
in
more detail in
Chapter
4, Relational
Algebra
and
Calculus.
For
most
relational database software, the query language used is known as Structured Query Language (SQL). SQLis a 4GL that allows the user to specify what must be done without specifying how it must be done. The RDBMS uses SQL to translate user queries into instructions for retrieving the requested data. SQL makesit possible to retrieve data with far less effort than any other database orfile environment.

The end-user interface. Basically, the interface allows the end user to interact with the data (by auto-generating SQL code). Each interface is a product of the software vendors idea of meaningful interaction with the data. You can also design your own customised interface with the help of application generators that are now standard in the database software arena. A collection of tables stored in the database. In a relational database, all data are perceived to be stored in tables. The tables simply present the data to the end user in a way that is easy to understand.

SQL is a

Thats
why a DBMS based on the ERDM is often described as an object relational database management system (OrDBMS).

The success of the ORDBMS can be attributed

From the start, the
OO and relational
data
models
were developed
in response
to
different
problems.
The OO data model was created to address very specific engineering needs, not the wide-ranging needs of general data management tasks. The relational model was created with afocus on better data management based on a sound mathematical foundation. Givenits focus on a smaller set of problem areas, it is
not surprising
that
the

market. However, large DBMS vendors such as Oracle readily promote their once relational DBMS now as object relational, with each new release adding new functionality. This gives organisations more choice and flexibility in the design and development of new database applications and in the integration with existing OO applications. The use

When organisations
realised its potential to access, distribute and the widespread adoption of the internet as a Extensible Markup Language (XML) emerged exchange of structured, semi-structured and
use XML data soon realised
that they
needed
to
manage large
amounts of unstructured data such as word-processing documents, Web pages, emails and diagrams. To address this need, XML databases emerged to manage unstructured data within a native XML format. (See Chapter 17, Database Connectivity and Web Technologies). Atthe same time, ORDBMSs added support
for
XML-based
documents
within their
relational
data structure.
Due to its robust
foundation
in broadly applicable principles, the relational model is easily extended to include new classes of capabilities, such as objects and XML. Modelling spatial data for use in applications such as route optimisation (an ambulance finding the quickest route to a patient) or urban planning requires yet another type of data model. Spatial data comprises objects
such
as cities
or forests
that
exist in
a multi-dimensional
space.
Storing
such
data in a relational
database would simply take up too much space and queries would be too long and complex to manage. A spatial database management system (SDBMS) is a database system with additional capabilities for handling spatial data. SDBMS include spatial data types (SDTs) in its data model and query language. For example

as POINT, LINE
and REGION. The POINT data type refers to the objects centre point in the multi-dimensional space, the LINE data type is used to represent connections in multi-dimensional space, e.g. rivers or roads, and the REGION data type is a representation of an extent e.g. alake in a 2-D space. In addition SDMS supports spatial indexing allowing the fast retrieval of objects in a specific area and efficient algorithms for supporting
spatial joins.

To add a new entity attribute in the relational model, you need to modify the table definition. To add a new attribute in the key-value store, you add a row to the key-value store, which is whyit is said to beschema-less. NoSQL databases do not store or enforce relationships among entities. The programmer is required to manage the relationships in the program code. Furthermore, all data and integrity validations

metadata).
NoSQL databases use their own native application programming interface (API) with simple data access commands, such as put, read and delete. Because there is no declarative SQL-like syntax to retrieve data, the program code must take care of retrieving related data in the correct way. Indexing and searches can be difficult. Because the value column in the key-value data model could contain many different data types, it is often difficult to create indexes on the data. Atthe same time, searches can become very complex. As a matter of fact, you could use the key-value structure as a general data modelling technique when attributes are numerous but actual data values are scarce. The key-value data modelis not exclusive of NoSQL

However, because of the problems with maintaining relationships and integrity within the data, and the increased complexity of even simple queries, key-value structures would be a poor design for most structured business data. Several

database implementations,
such as Googles
Bigtable
and Apaches
Cassandra,
have
extended the key-value data model to group multiple key-value sets into column families or column stores. In addition, such implementations support features such as versioning using a date/time stamp. For example, Bigtable stores data in the syntax of [row, column, time, value], where row, column and

The term

to people who use the application programs to manipulate the data and generate information. End users usually operate in an environment in which an application has a specific business unit focus. Companies are generally divided into several business units, such as sales, finance and marketing.

uses a data subset of the overall data in the organisation. Therefore, end users working within those business units view their data subsets as separate from or external to those of other units within the organisation. As data is being modelled, ER diagrams will be used to represent the external views. A specific representation
of an external
view is known
as an external
schema.
To illustrate

view, examine the data environment of Tiny University. Figure 2.9 (a) and (b) presents the external schemas for two Tiny University business units: student registration and class scheduling. Each external schema includes the appropriate entities, relationships, processes and constraints imposed by the business unit. Also note that, although the application views are isolated from each other, each view shares
a common
entity
with the
other
view.
For example,
the registration
schemas share the entities
CLASS and COURSE.

and each student
may ENROL in
many CLASSes, thus
creating a *:* relationship between STUDENT and CLASS. (You willlearn about the precise nature of the ENROL entity in Chapter 5, Data Modelling with Entity Relationship Diagrams.) Each COURSE may generate many CLASSes, but each CLASS references a single COURSE. For example, there may be several classes (sections) of a database course having a course code of CIS-420. One of those classes may be offered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to 8:50 a.m., another may be offered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1:00 p.m. to
1:50 p.m.,
while a third
may be offered
on Thursdays
from
6:00 p.m. to
8:40 p.m.
Yet all three classes have the course code CIS-420. Finally, a CLASS requires one ROOM, but a ROOM may be scheduled for many CLASSes; that is, each classroom may be used for several classes: one at 9:00 a.m., one at 11:00 a.m., and one at 1:00 p.m., for example. In other words, there is a 1:* relationship between ROOM and CLASS. The use of external views representing It

by an ERD
(Figure 2.10), to integrate all external views into a single view. The conceptual model represents a global view of the entire database. It is a representation of data as viewed by the entire organisation. That is, the conceptual model integrates all external views (entities, relationships, constraints and processes)
into
a single
global view of the
entire
data in the enterprise,
known
as a conceptual

schema.
The conceptual schema is the basis for the identification and high-level description of the main data objects (avoiding any database model specific details). The most widely used conceptual modelis the ER model. Remember that the ER modelis illustrated with the help ofthe ERD, which is, in effect, the basic database blueprint. The ERDis used to graphically represent
the conceptual
schema.
The conceptual model yields some very important advantages. First, it provides a relatively easily understood birds-eye (macro-level) view of the data environment. For example, you can get a summary of Tiny Universitys data environment by examining the conceptual model presented in Figure 2.10. Second,
the
conceptual
model
is independent
of
both
software
and
hardware.
Software
independence means that the model does not depend on the DBMS software used to implement the model. Hardware independence means that the model does not depend on the hardware used in the implementation of the model. Therefore, changes in either the hardware or the DBMS software
will have

selected,
the internal
model
maps the
conceptual
model to the
DBMS. The internal model is the representation of the database as seen by the DBMS. In other words, the internal model requires the designer to match the conceptual models characteristics and constraints to those of the selected implementation model. An internal schema depicts a

specific
representation
of an internal
model,

constructs
supported
by the
chosen database. Since this book focuses on the relational model, a relational database was chosen to implement the internal model. Therefore, the internal schema should mapthe conceptual modelto the relational model constructs. In particular, the entities in the conceptual model are mapped to tables in the relational model.
Likewise,
since
a relational
database
has
been selected,
the internal
schema
is
expressed
using SQL, the standard language for relational databases. In the case of the conceptual model for Tiny University depicted in Figure 2.10, the internal model wasimplemented by creating the tables LECTURER, COURSE, CLASS, STUDENT, ENROL and ROOM. A simplified version of the internal model for Tiny College is shown in Figures 2.11 (a) and (b). The development
of a detailed
internal
model is especially
important
to
database
designers
who
work with hierarchical or network models because those models require very precise specification of data storage location and data access paths. In contrast, the relational model requires less detail in its internal model because most RDBMSs handle data access path definition transparently; that is, the designer
need

details.
Nevertheless,
even relational
database
software usually requires data storage location specification, especially in a mainframe environment. For example, DB2 requires that the data storage group, the location ofthe database within the storage group, and the location of the tables within the database be specified. Because the internal model depends on specific database software, it is said to be software-dependent. Therefore,
a change
in the
DBMS
software
requires
that the internal
model be changed
to fit the characteristics and requirements of the implementation database model. When you can change the internal model without affecting the conceptual model, you have logical independence. However, the internal modelis also hardware-independent, because it is unaffected bythe choice ofthe computer on which the software is installed. Therefore, a change in storage devices or even a change in

devices, makingit both software-and hardware-dependent. The storage structures used are dependent on the software (DBMS, operating system) and on the type of storage devices that the computer can handle. The precision required in the physical models definition demands that database designers who work at this level have a detailed knowledge of the hardware and software used to implement the database
design.
Early data models forced the database designer to take the details of the physical models data storage requirements into account. However, the now-dominant relational modelis aimed largely at the logical rather than the physical level; therefore, it does not require the physical-level details common to its

structures
required
by both the
hierarchical
and network database models often become complicated enough to diminish efficient database design. The relational data model changed all of that by allowing the designer to focus on the logical representation ofthe data and their relationships, rather than on the physical storage details. To use an automotive
analogy,
the relational
database
uses an automatic
transmission
to relieve
you of the
need
to manipulate clutch pedals and gear levers. In short, the relational model enables you to view data logically rather than physically. The practical significance of taking the logical view is that it serves as areminder of the simple file concept of data storage. Although the use of a table, quite unlike that of a file, has the advantages of structural
and
data independence,
a table
does resemble
a file from
a conceptual
point
of view.
Since
you can think of related records as being stored in independent tables, the relational database model is much easier to understand than its hierarchical and network database predecessors. Greaterlogical simplicity tends to yield simpler and more effective database design methodologies. As the table

3.1.1 Tables and Their Characteristics The logical view of the relational database is facilitated by the creation of data relationships based on alogical construct known as a table. Atable is perceived as atwo-dimensional structure composed of rows and columns. As far as the tables user is concerned, a table contains a group of related entities, that is,
an entity
set; for that
reason,
the terms
entity
set and table
are often
used interchangeably.
Atable is also called arelation because the relational models creator, E.F. Codd, used the term relation as a synonym for table. You can think of atable as a persistent relation, that is, a relation whose contents can be permanently saved for future use. Withinthe relational model, columns oftables are referred to as attributes

A domain is the set of possible values for this attribute. For example, an attribute called STU_CLASS, which stores the students classification whilst at university, may have the following domain {UG1, UG2, UG3, PG, Other}, which meansthat STU_CLASS can only have one ofthese values within the database. The domain

be divisible into components. In addition, no attributes with morethan one value are allowed. (These are often referred to as multi-valued attributes.) For example, the value of STU_CLASS could not be UG1 and UG2 at the same time. Each domain is also defined by its data type for example, character string, number, date, etc. The fundamental

3.1.3 Degree and Cardinality Degree and cardinality are two important properties of the relational model. A relation with N columns and Nrows is said to be of degree N and cardinality N. The degree of a relation is the number of its
attributes
and the
cardinality
of a relation
is the
number
of its tuples.
The product
of a relations
degree and cardinality is the number of attribute values it contains. Figure 3.2 shows the relational table DEPARTMENT with a degree of 4 and a cardinality of 4. The product of the relational table DEPARTMENT is 16 (4 * 4) and, as you can see in Figure 3.2, it contains 16 attribute values.

key, the primary key, has already been introduced. Given the structure of the STUDENT in Figure 3.3, defining and describing the primary key seems simple enough. However, primary key plays such animportant role in the relational environment, we will examine keys properties more carefully. There are several other kinds of keys that warrant

secondary keys. The keys role is based on a concept known as determination. In the context of a database table, the statement A determines B indicates that if you know the value of attribute A, you can look up (determine) the value of attribute B. For example, knowing the STU_NUM in the STUDENT table (see Figure 3.3)

Using Figure 3.6 as an example, the code -99 could be used as the AGENT_CODE entry of the fourth row of the CUSTOMER table to indicate that customer Jaco Pieterse does not yet have an agent assigned to him. If such a flag is used, the AGENT table must contain a dummy row with an AGENT_ CODE value of -99. Thus, the AGENT tables first record might contain the values shown in Table 3.5. TABLE

Other integrity rules that can be enforced in the relational model are the NOT NULL and UNIQUE constraints. The NOT NULL constraint can be placed on a column to ensure that every row in the table has a value for that
column.
The UNIQUE
constraint
is
a restriction
placed
on a column
to ensure that
no duplicate values exist for that column.
3.4
THE DATA DICTIONARY AND THE SYSTEM CATALOGUE
The data
dictionary
provides
a detailed
accounting
of all tables
found
within the
user/designer-created
database. Thus, the data dictionary contains atleast all of the attribute names and characteristics for each table in the system. In short, the data dictionary contains metadata data about data. Using the small database presented in Figure 3.6, you might picture its data dictionary as shown in Table 3.6.

Also, the area codes are always composed of a maximum of four digits. Therefore, the area code data type is defined as CHAR(4). Onthe other hand, names do not conform to a standard length.

clerks,
salespeople, service personnel and more. Pilots have many attributes that the other employees dont have, such aslicences, medical certificates, flight experience records, dates offlight proficiency checks and proof of required periodic medical checks. If you put all of the pilot-specific attributes in the EMPLOYEE
table,
you
will have several
nulls in that table for all employees
who are not pilots.
To avoid
the proliferation of nulls, it is better to split the pilot attributes into a separate table (PILOT) that is linked to the EMPLOYEE table in a 1:1 relationship. Since pilots have many attributes that are shared by all employees such as name, date of birth and date of first employment those attributes would be stored in the EMPLOYEE table.

depicted
in Figure
3.19, note that you can keep track oftypical sales information. For example, by tracing the relationships among the four tables, you discover that customer 10014 (Myron Orlando) bought two items on 8 December, 2012 that were written to invoice number 1001: one Houselite chain saw with a 16-inch bar and three rat-tail files. (Note: Trace the CUS_CODE number 10014 in the CUSTOMER table to the matching

first two rows in the LINE table; then match the two PROD_CODE values in LINE with the PROD_CODE values in PRODUCT.)

As you examine Figure 3.20, note that the first PAINTER_NUM index key value (123) is found in records 1, 2 and 4 of the PAINTING table. The second PAINTER_NUM index key value (126) is found in records

DBMSs use indexes for many different purposes. You just learnt that an index can be used to retrieve data more efficiently. But indexes can also be used by a DBMS to retrieve data ordered by a specific attribute or attributes. For example, creating anindex on a customers last name will allow you to retrieve the customer data alphabetically ordered by the customers last name. Also, anindex key can be composed
of one or more attributes.
For example,
in
Figure
3.18, you can create
an index
on VEND_CODE and PROD_CODE to retrieve all rows in the PRODUCT table ordered by vendor and within vendor, ordered by product. Indexes play animportant role in DBMSs for the implementation of primary keys. Whenyou define atables primary key, the DBMS automatically creates a unique index on the primary key column(s) you declared. For example, in Figure 3.18,
when you declare
CUS_CODE to
be the
primary
key of the
CUSTOMER
table,
the DBMS automatically creates a unique index onthat attribute. A unique index, asits name implies, is an index in whichthe index key can have only one pointer value (row) associated withit. (The index in Figure 3.20 is not a unique index because the PAINTER_NUM has multiple pointer values associated withit. For example,
painter
number
123 points to three rows
1, 2 and 4 in the
PAINTING table.)
Indexes are crucial in speeding up data access. They can be used to facilitate searching, sorting and even joining tables. Theimprovement in data access speed occurs because anindex is an ordered set of values that contains the index key and pointers. A table can have manyindexes, but each index is associated with only one table. Theindex key can have multiple attributes (composite index). Creating an index
is
easy.

that is, other
attributes are dependent on the key and can, therefore, be found if the key value is known. A key can be classified as a superkey, a candidate key, a primary key, a secondary key or aforeign key. Each table row
must have a primary

key is an attribute
or a combination
of
attributes that uniquely identifies all remaining attributes found in any given row. Because a primary key must be unique, no null values are allowed if entity integrity is to be maintained. Although the tables key of one table

begins by identifying appropriate entities and attributes, and the relationships among the entities. Those relationships (1:1, 1:* and *:*) can be represented using ERDs.

ROBCOR is
an aircraft
charter
company that supplies on-demand charter flight services using a fleet of four aircraft. Aircraft are identified by a unique registration number. Therefore, the aircraft registration number is an appropriate primary key for the AIRCRAFT table. The nulls in the CHARTER tables CHAR_COPILOT column indicate that a copilot is not required for some
charter trips
or for some aircraft.
(Federal
Aviation
Administration
(FAA) rules require
a copilot
onjet aircraft and on aircraft having a gross take-off weight over 5 500 kg. None of the aircraft in the AIRCRAFT table are governed bythis requirement; however, some customers mayrequire the presence of a copilot for insurance reasons.) All charter trips are recorded in the CHARTER table.

RELATIONAL OPERATORS
Relational
algebra
relational
defines the theoretical
operators.
Codd originally
way of manipulating table contents through
defined
eight relational
operators,
called
a number
SELECT (or
of
RESTRICT),
PROJECT, JOIN, PRODUCT, INTERSECT, UNION, DIFFERENCE and DIVIDE. The most important operators are SELECT, PROJECT and JOIN, which can be used to formulate relational algebra expressions to answer many user queries. The relational operators have the property of closure; that is, relational algebra operators are used on existing tables to produce new tables. The relational operators are classed
as being
unary or binary.
Unary operators,
such
as SELECT
and PROJECT,
can be applied
to one relation, whilst binary operators such as JOIN are applied on two relations. In Chapter 3, Relational Model Characteristics, welearnt about a number of important concepts and properties of relations that are essential for understanding the relational model.In this chapter, we will build
on these
concepts
to understand
how relational
algebra
can be used to
write queries.
4
Within
Chapter 3, we modelled a relation on a mathematical construct, which had to abide by a set of rules (Table 3.1). When applying relational operators to relations, we have to follow these rules in addition to those defined for each relational operator. In the following sections you willlearn about the theory associated with common relational operators and view some
practical
examples.
Remember
that the term relation
is a synonym
for table.

A NOTE ON SET THEORY Set theory is one of the most fundamental concepts in mathematics.1 The theory is based on the idea that elements have membership in a set. Given two sets, A and B, wesay that Ais a member of B, which can be written
as A [
B. Alternatively,
we can say that the
set
B contains
A as its element.
The elements
of a set can be numbers, the names of students who enrolled in a course or the flight numbers of all the flights operated by an airline. Each set is then determined by its elements and each element in a set is unique. Venn diagrams2 are a way of visually representing sets. Supposing we have the following two sets: Set

4.1.7 DIVISION , that The DIVISION operation produces a new relation by selecting the tuples in one relation, R1 match every row in another relation, R2.It is essentially the inverse of the CARTESIAN PRODUCT operation, just like the arithmetic divide is the inverse of multiplication. DIVISION, denoted by R1 4 R2, can be formally defined as:
(b1, b2,..., bm) with cardinality j R1 (a1, a2,..., an) with cardinality i and R2
The DIVISION of two relations
is arelation R3with degree k 5 n 2 mand cardinality i 4 j. Using the example shown in Figure 4.11, note that: Table 1 (Figure 4.11(a)) is divided by Table 2 (Figure 4.11(b)) to produce Table 3(Figure 4.11(c)). Tables 1 and 2 both contain the column CODE but

JOINS
The JOIN operation is one of the essential operations of relational algebra. It is a binary operation that allows the user to combine two relations in a specified way. JOIN operations are the real power behind the relational database, allowing the use ofindependent tables linked by common attributes. The JOIN oftwo relations R1and R2is arestriction ontheir Cartesian product R1X R2to meet a specified criterion. Thejoin itself is defined on an attribute a of R1and an attribute b of R2 where the attributes the same domain. A JOIN operator may be formally defined as:
a and b share
(a1, a2,..., an) and R2 Thejoin of two relations R1 (b1, b2,..., bm) is a relation R3 with degree k 5 n 1 m ) that satisfy a specific join condition. and attributes (a1, a2,..., an, b1 , b2,..., bm In this section we willlook at a number of different kinds ofjoin operations including EQUIJOIN, NATURAL JOIN, LEFT OUTER JOIN and RIGHT OUTER JOIN.

4.2.1 Theta Join and Equijoin One of the equality

that
used joins is known as an equijoin,
compares

columns
whichlinks tables
of each table.
The outcome
on the basis of an of the equijoin
does
not eliminate duplicate columns, and the condition or criterion used to join the tables must be explicitly defined. The equijoin takes its name from the equality comparison operator (5) used in the condition. If any other comparison operator is used the join is called a theta join denoted with the symbol u(u-join). So, theta represents
a predicate
The equijoin is therefore

one special type of theta join:
Let R1 (a1, a2,..., an) and R2 (b1, b2,..., bm) be relations that may have different schemas. Then the u-join . of R1and R2is denoted as R1 uR2 and the equijoin is denoted as R1 R1.a5R2.bR2 It is also
possible to
express
both the u-join
and the
equijoin in terms

So,for example, the equijoin R1 R1.a 5 R2.bR2 mayalso be written as sR1.a 5R2.b (R1 3 R2 Looking at the u-join and the equijoin in this way allows us to create some simple rules, which will allow us to compute such joins on any two relations: . This first performs a Cartesian product to form all possible combinations Compute R1 3 R2

of the
. rows of R1and R2 2
Restrict the Cartesian product to only those rows
where the values in certain columns
match.
For example, suppose we wish to find out all students who take classes in each department at Tiny University. To answer this query, we mustjoin together the two relations STUDENT-2 and DEPARTMENT-2 shown in Figure 4.12 (a) and (b). Following the two rules stated above, this will first involve finding the Cartesian
product
of the
STUDENT-2
and
DEPARTMENT-2
relations
shown in
Figure 4.12 (c).
Then,
we
need to restrict the resulting relation in Figure 4.12 (c) to only those tuples that satisfy the join condition on the common columns of DEPT_CODE, which is found in both relations (Figure 4.12 (d)). In this case, this would be where STUDENT.DEPT_CODE 5 DEPARTMENT.DEPT_CODE. This query, which we will call STUDENT_IN_DEPT, can be written in relational algebra as: (STUDENT 3 DEPARTMENT) STUDENT_IN_DEPT 5 sSTUDENT.DEPT_CODE 5DEPARTMENT.DEPT_CODE

STUDENT-2 and DEPARTMENT-2 both contain a column of the same name. In this case DEPT_CODE also shares the same domain and provides referential integrity between the two relations. In order to distinguish between them, a prefix of S and D has been added to the name of these columns, i.e. S.DEPT_CODE and D.DEPT_CODE, to makethem easier to read.

4.2.2 The Natural Join The natural join
operation
is the
most common
variant
of the joins.
The natural join
operation
requires
that the two operant relations must have at least one common attribute, i.e. attributes that share the same domain. The common column(s) is (are) referred to as the join column(s). The natural join is in fact an equijoin; however, in addition, we drop the duplicate attributes, so the resulting relation contains one less column than that of the equijoin. Let R1be arelation having attributes (a1, a2,..., an, y), R2be another relation having attributes (b1, b2,..., bm y) where y is a set of common attributes (join column(s)) that share the same domain. The natural join operator is defined as: The natural join of R1and R2,denoted R1|3| R2 , consists of combining the tuples of R1 and R2to build a new relation R3,such that if R1Tuple [ R1 , R2Tuple [ R2 , and R1Tuple.y 5 R2Tuple.y, then R3Tuple 5 R1Tuple.a1 , R1Tuple.an, R1Tuple.y, R2Tuple.b1,... R2Tuple.bm. R1Tuple.a1 corresponds
; the notation Note that the common set of attributes y appears only once in R3 . to the a1attribute value of atuple of R1 Although
this
definition
appears
to
be quite complicated,

Relational
Algebra
and
Calculus
149
Calculus
calculus is a non-procedural
query language
which is
used to describe
what information
is required from the database without giving a specific method for obtaining that information. When specifying a query in tuple relational calculus we say only which attributes are to be retrieved and not how the query is to be executed. This is in contrast to relational algebra, which provides a procedural way of writing the query and incorporates
a strategy
for executing
the
query through
the
way in
which the
operations are ordered. Relational algebra and tuple relational calculus can both be used to express the same queries, which meansthat wehave arelationally complete query language. Wesay a query language is relationally complete if any query that can be written in relational algebraic form can also be expressed bythe query language. Most relational query languages such as SQL are not only relationally complete, but also contain
additional
features
like
aggregate
functions
that
allow
more complex
4
queries to be written.
In tuple relational calculus, wespecify a number of tuple variables where each tuple variable ranges over a database table. The values of the tuple variables are the actual tuples in the table. A query in the tuple relational calculus is expressed as: {t|P(t)} which represents the set of tuples, T, for which predicate, P,is true. Therefore, the results of this query are alltuples that satisfy the condition represented by predicate P. For example, consider the car inspection database in Figure 4.20. If we wanted to write the following query Find
{t|t
all cars
with a model_year
.5
2018
using tuple
relational
calculus
we would
write:
[ Car ` t.MODEL_YEAR.52018}
This query means return the set of tuples, t, where t belongs to the Carrelation year t is greater than 2018. As you can see in the

Suppose we wanted to find out which customers the following expression:
had made any withdrawals over 200.
{w| w [ WITHDRAWAL(w) ` w.WITH_AMOUNT
We would write
.5200}
This expression gives us all attributes from the WITHDRAWAL relation, but suppose we only want the last names of customers who have withdrawn 200 or more. CUS_LNAME exists in the CUSTOMER relation, which means we will have to perform ajoin on the CUSTOMER and WITHDRAWAL relations. The attribute CUS_ACCNO appears in both CUSTOMER and WITHDRAWAL and is used to join the two relations
together
as shown in the expression

Overthe past 20 years, UNICEF1 has assisted charities, organisations and governments by providing data, analytics and insights to helpimprove the welfare of children and women worldwide. They are harnessing the Big Data available to them to make data workfor children. In 2017, UNICEF released the Data for Children Strategic Framework, which has allowed it to expand its commitments in three
areas that
are essential
for
good
data
work: coordination,
strategic
planning
and knowledge
sharing.2 UNICEF currently holds data assets that have been generated from household surveys, global data advocacy and data provided by individual countries; the framework provides an opportunity to build a new data landscape to work within the data governance frameworks of individual
countries
and provide
a gateway
to reliable
and open
data and analysis
on the situation
of children and women worldwide.2 UNICEF Data and Analytics teams workto ensure that the data collected is statistically sound by using Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS).3 Global databases are used to track children and women, and new methodologies and monitoring tools have been designed to enable successful data gathering
on issues
such
aslow
birth
weight, education
and child labour.
UNICEF
houses the
power of a modern data warehouse to enable data to be more accessible through interoperability, and data visualisation is achieved through the use of interactive maps and graphs. The ultimate aim is to put data into action.

that the
multiplicities
represent
the
number
of occurrences
in the
related entity. For example, the multiplicity (1..4) written next to the CLASS entity in the LECTURER teaches CLASS relationship indicates that the LECTURER tables primary key value occurs at least once and no morethan four times as foreign key values in the CLASS table. If the multiplicity had been written the

each class is taught
Similarly, by one and
only one lecturer. That is, each CLASS entity occurrence is associated with one and only one entity occurrence in LECTURER. If you examine multiplicity further, you will see that each numerical range actually describes two important
constraints:
participation
and
cardinality.
The
word cardinality
is
a common
term
used
in traditional entity relationship modelling, and is used to express the maximum number of entity occurrences associated with one occurrence of the related entity. Participation determines whether all occurrences of an entity participate in the relationship or not. So, the multiplicity (1..4), written next to the CLASS entity in Figure 5.8, can beinterpreted as follows: The 1 represents the participation and indicates relationship and that it is mandatory. The 4 to four

5.1.5 existence Dependence An entity is said to be existence-dependent if it can exist in the database only when it is associated with another related entity occurrence. In implementation terms, an entity is existence-dependent if it has a mandatory foreign key that is, a foreign key attribute that cannot be null. For example, if an XYZ Corporation employee wants to claim one or more dependents for tax-withholding purposes, the relationship

be appropriate.
In that
case, the
DEPENDENT
entity is clearly existence-dependent on the EMPLOYEE entity, because it is impossible for the dependent to exist apart from the EMPLOYEE in the XYZ Corporation database. If an entity can exist apart from one or morerelated entities, it is said to be existence-independent. (Sometimes designers refer to such an entity as a strong or regular entity.)

Although
most relationships
relationships are
binary, the
use of ternary
and higher-order
relationships
does
allow
the designer some latitude regarding the semantics of a problem. A ternary relationship implies an association among three different entities. For example, note the relationships (and their consequences) in Figure 5.18, which are represented by the following business rules: A DOCTOR writes one or more PRESCRIPTIONs. A PATIENT mayreceive A DRUG

(To

this
example,
assume
that the
business rule states that each prescription contains only one drug. In short, if a doctor prescribes more than one drug, a separate prescription must be written for each drug.)

For example, a 1:* unary relationship can be expressed by an EMPLOYEE may manage many EMPLOYEEs, and each EMPLOYEE is managed by one EMPLOYEE.

You might argue that, for atour to exist, at least one BOOKING must be made. Therefore, TOUR is mandatory to BOOKING from a purely conceptual point of view. However, when a new tour is first offered, it will not have had the opportunity to be booked. Therefore, at least initially, TOUR is optional to BOOKING. Note that the practical considerations in the data environment help dictate the use of optionalities.
If TOUR is
not optional

a booking
must
be madefor the tour to allow it to beincluded in the database. But thats not how the process actually works. In short, the optionality reflects practice. The ERD in Figure 5.28 shows that the *:* relationship between BOOKING and TOUR has been decomposed
into
two
1:* relationships
through
TOUR_BOOKING.
In Figure 5.28, the
optionalities
have
been transferred to TOUR_BOOKING. In other words, it now becomes possible for a TOUR not to occur in TOUR_BOOKING if no customer has actually booked that tour. Because a tour need not occur in TOUR_BOOKING, the TOUR_BOOKING entity becomes optional to BOOKING. And because the TOUR_BOOKING entity is created before any bookings have been made, the TOUR_BOOKING entity is also optional

The process of database design is aniterative rather than alinear or sequential process. The verb iterate meansto do again or repeatedly. Aniterative process is thus one based on repetition of processes and procedures. Building an ERD usually involves the following activities: Create a detailed narrative of the organisations

During the design process, the database designer does not depend simply on interviews to help define entities, attributes and relationships. A surprising amount of information can be gathered by examining the business forms and reports that an organisation uses in its daily operations. In this section, we will use two case studies Tiny University and ILoveHolidays to show the interactive process involved

Note that the multiplicity can be expressed by (1..1) for the entity LECTURER and by (0..1) for the entity SCHOOL. (The smallest number of deans per school is one, as is the largest number, and each dean is assigned to only one school.) However

Each BOOKING is assigned
a BOOKING_STATUS_CODE.
These codes
allow the travel
agencies
to
track the status of the booking. When a customer makes a booking, he or she must pay a deposit. The booking status code is then set to Deposit Paid. Once the cost of the booking is paid in full, the booking status code changes to Fully Paid. Booking status codes also exist if the booking is cancelled and when the booking is complete, whichis set after the customer has completed his or her travel
plans.

Figure 5.46 shows the relationship between TOUR, ATTRACT_TOUR and ATTRACTION. A tour may comprise visits to a number of attractions and at the same time different combinations of attractions
may be offered
on different
tours.
This
means that,
initially,
a *:* relationship
existed
between TOUR and ATTRACTION, which needed to be resolved by the addition of the weak entity ATTRACT_TOUR. An attraction may exist without belonging to a tour and therefore the travel agencies would be able to provide information to the customer about the attraction such as travel instructions.
This is
a specific
requirement
of ILoveHolidays
in
order to
customers and exceed expectations. Note that ATTRACT_TOUR the PKs from TOUR and ATTRACTION.

have guided
you in
developing logical structures that minimise data redundancies, thereby minimising the likelihood that destructive data anomalies will occur. You have also learnt how standards prescribed avoiding nulls to the greatest extent possible. In fact, you have learnt that design standards govern the presentation
of all components
within the
database
design. In short,
design
standards
allow you to
work with well-defined components and to evaluate the interaction ofthose components with some precision. Without design standards, it is nearly impossible to formulate a proper design process, to evaluate an existing design, or to trace the likely logical impact of changes in design.
5 In many organisations, particularly those generating large numbers of transactions, high processing speeds are often atop priority in database design. High processing speed means minimal access time, which may be achieved by minimising the number and complexity of logically
desirable
relationships.
For example,
a perfect
design
might use a 1:1 relationship
to
avoid nulls, while a higher-transaction-speed design might combine the two tables to avoid the use of an additional relationship, using dummy entries to avoid the nulls. If the focus is on data-retrieval speed, you might also be forced to include derived attributes in the design. The quest for timely information might be the focus of database design. Complex information requirements may dictate data transformations, and they may expand the number of entities and attributes
within the design.
Therefore,
the
database
may have to
sacrifice
some
of its clean
design structures and/or some ofits high transaction speed to ensure maximum information generation. For example, suppose that a detailed sales report must be generated periodically. The sales report includes allinvoice subtotals, taxes and totals; even the invoice lines include subtotals. If the sales report includes hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of invoices, computing
the totals,
taxes
and subtotals
is likely
to take
some time. If those
computations
had
been made and the results had been stored as derived attributes in the INVOICE and LINE tables at the time of the transaction, the real-time transaction speed might have declined, but that loss of speed would only be noticeable if there had been many simultaneous transactions. The cost of a slight loss
of transaction
speed
at the front
end and the
addition
of
multiple
derived
attributes
is likely to pay off when the sales reports are generated (not to mention the fact that it will be simpler to generate the queries). Another issue that needs to be borne in mindif derived values are used to improve performance, is data integrity. Should the values from which the derived value is calculated change, then triggers need to bein place to ensure that the derived values are automatically
updated.
Failing to
do this

before attempting to denormalise the design

However, if this perfect design fails to meetthe customers transaction speed and/or information requirements, the designer will not have done a proper job from the end users

of life in the real
world of database
design.
Even as the designer focuses on the entities, attributes, relationships and constraints, he or she should begin thinking about end-user requirements such as performance, security, shared access and dataintegrity. The designer must consider processing requirements and verify that all update, retrieval and deletion options are available. Finally, a design is oflittle value unless the end product is capable of delivering

As you examine the EMPLOYEE_V1 table in Figure 5.56, note that this table is likely to yield data anomalies. For example, if Anne Jones divorces Anton Shapiro, two records must be updated by setting the respective EMP_SPOUSE values to null to properly reflect that change. If only one record is

employees then marry each other. In addition, that implementation also produces undesirable nulls for employees who are not married to other employees in the company. Another approach would be to create a new entity shown as MARRIED_V1 in a 1:* relationship with EMPLOYEE. (See Figure 5.56, second implementation.) This second implementation does eliminate the nulls for employees

(Such

would not be entered in the MARRIED_V1 table.) However, this approach still yields possible duplicate values. For example, the marriage between employees 345 and 347 may still appear twice, once as 345 347 and once as 347 345.

In fact, data modellers find many ways to group employees based on employee characteristics. For instance, aretail company would group employees as salaried and hourly employees, while a university would group employees as faculty, staff and administrators. The grouping of employees to create various types of employees provides two important benefits: It avoids unnecessary that

6.1.4 Subtype Discriminator A subtype
discriminator
is the
attribute
in the supertype
entity that
determines
to
which entity subtype
each supertype occurrence is related. As seen in Figure 6.2, the subtype discriminator is the employee type (EMP_TYPE). It is common practice to show the subtype discriminator and its value for each subtype in the ER diagram,
as seen in
Figure 6.2.
However,
not all ER
modelling tools
follow
that
practice.
In
Figure 6.2,
the discriminator was added in MS Visio by using the UML generalisation properties. Its important to note that the default comparison condition for the subtype discriminator attribute is the equality comparison. However, there may be situations in which the subtype discriminator is not necessarily based on an equality comparison. For example, based on business requirements, you may create two
new pilot subtypes,
PIC (pilot-in-command)
qualified
and copilot
qualified
only. A PIC-qualified
pilot will be anyone with morethan 1 500 PIC flight hours. In this case, the subtype discriminator beFlight_Hours and the criteria would be . 1500 or ,5 1500, respectively.

6.1.5 Disjoint and Overlapping
Constraints
An entity supertype can have disjoint or overlapping entity subtypes. For example, in the aviation example, an employee can be a pilot or a mechanic or an accountant. Assume that one of the business rules
dictates
that
an employee
cannot
belong to
morethan
one subtype
at a time; that is, an employee
cannot be a pilot and a mechanic atthe same time. Disjoint subtypes, also known as non-overlapping subtypes, are subtypes that contain a unique subset of the supertype entity set; in other words, each entity instance of the supertype can appear in only one of the subtypes. When using UML notation, a disjoint relationship
is represented
by an OR,
and an overlapping
constraint
is represented
by an AND.
For example, in Figure 6.2, an employee (supertype) whois a pilot (subtype) can appear only in the PILOT subtype, not in any of the other subtypes. You can see that when using MS Visio to produce ERDs using UML notation, the disjoint subtype is indicated by placing the word OR in brackets. Onthe other hand, if the business rule specifies that employees can have multiple classifications, the EMPLOYEE
supertype
may contain
overlapping
job
classification
subtypes.
Overlapping
or non-disjoint
subtypes are subtypes that contain non-unique subsets of the supertype entity set; that is, each entity instance ofthe supertype may appear in morethan one subtype. For example, in a university environment, a person may be an employee or a student or both. In turn, an employee may be alecturer as well as an

Alternative notations exist for representing popularised the use of G and Gsto indicate

Toby J. Teorey
As you learnt earlier in this section, the implementation of disjoint subtypes is based on the value of the subtype discriminator attribute in the supertype. However, implementing overlapping subtypes requires the
use of one discriminator
attribute
for
each subtype.
For example,
in the
case of the
Tiny University
database design you saw in Chapter 5, Data Modelling with Entity Relationship Diagrams, alecturer can also be an administrator. Therefore, the EMPLOYEE supertype would have the subtype discriminator attributes and values shown in Table 6.1.

For example,
you can first

from a higher-level entity supertype. Specialisation is based on grouping unique characteristics and relationships ofthe subtypes. In the aviation example, you used specialisation to identify multiple entity subtypes from the original employee supertype. Generalisation is the bottom-up process ofidentifying a higher-level, more generic entity supertype from lower-level entity subtypes. Generalisation is based on grouping

6.1.8 Composition and Aggregation So far we have looked at how to model relationships between entities using IS-A relationships. Suppose we have two entities, one called DEPARTMENT and one called UNIVERSITY. The relationship between the two could be described as apart_of orhas_a relationship asthe DEPARTMENT entity is a part_of the UNIVERSITY entity. This type of relationship is known as aggregation, whereby a larger entity
can be composed
of smaller
entities.
A special
case
of aggregation
is known
as composition.
Thisis a much stronger relationship than aggregation, since when the parent entity instance is deleted, all child entity instances are automatically deleted. Consider the two entities BUILDING and ROOM, where BUILDING is the parent entity and ROOM is the child entity. A ROOM is part_of a BUILDING and if the building was destroyed then all the rooms would also be destroyed.

6.3.1 Natural Keysand Primary Keys The concept of a unique identifier is commonly encountered in the real world. For example, you use class (or section) numbers to register for classes, invoice numbers to identify specific invoices, account numbers to identify credit cards, and so on. Those examples illustrate natural identifiers or keys. A natural key or natural identifier is a real-world, generally accepted identifier used to distinguish that is,

a natural

end users
and forms part of their day-to-day business vocabulary. Usually, a data modeller uses a natural identifier as the primary key of the entity being modelled, assuming that the entity has a natural identifier. Generally, most natural keys make acceptable primary key identifiers. However, there are occasions when the entity being modelled does not have a natural primary

Note that identification and description are separate semantic constructs in the model. The function of the primary key is to guarantee entity integrity, not to describe the entity.

6.4.1 Design Case #1:Implementing
1:1 Relationships
Foreign keys work with primary keys to properly implement relationships in the relational model. The basic rule is very simple: put the primary key ofthe one side (the parent entity) on the many side (the dependent entity) as aforeign key. However, where do you place the foreign key when you are working with a 1:1 relationship? For example, assume the case of a 1:1 relationship between EMPLOYEE and DEPARTMENT
based
on the
business
rule one
EMPLOYEE
is the
manager
of one DEPARTMENT,
and
one DEPARTMENT is managed by one EMPLOYEE. In that case, there are two options for selecting and placing the foreign key: Place aforeign keyin both entities. That option is derived from the basic rule you learnt in Chapter 5, Data
Modelling
with Entity Relationship
Diagrams.
Place EMP_NUM
as a foreign
key in
DEPARTMENT
and
DEPT_ID as aforeign key in EMPLOYEE. However, that solution is not recommended asit would create duplicated work and it could conflict with other existing relationships. (Remember that DEPARTMENT and EMPLOYEE also participate in a 1:* relationship one department employs many employees.) Place a foreign key in one of the entities. In that case, the primary key of one of the two entities appears
6
as a foreign
key on the
other
entity.
That is the
preferred
solution,
but there
is a remaining
question: which primary key should be used as a foreign key? The answer to that question is found in Table 6.6. Table 6.6 shows the rationale for selecting the foreign key in a 1:1 relationship based on the relationship properties in the ERD. TABLE

there has been no violation of either entity integrity or referential integrity. This multiple duplicate records problem was created when the JOB_CODE attribute was added as the PK.

However, that option created the problems

any case, if
JOB_CODE

to be the surrogate PK, you must still ensure the existence of unique values in the JOB_DESCRIPTION through the use of a unique index. Note that all of the remaining tables (PROJECT, ASSIGNMENT and EMPLOYEE) are subject to the same limitations. For example, if you use the EMP_NUM attribute in the EMPLOYEE table as the PK, you can

To avoid that

a
unique index for EMP_LNAME, EMP_FNAME, and EMP_INITIAL. But how would you then deal with two employees named Joe B. Smith? In that case, you might use another (preferably externally defined) attribute, such asID number, to serve as the basis for a unique index.

when
you begin to work with real-world databases. Normalisation should be part of the design process. Therefore, make sure that proposed entities meetthe required normal form before the table structures are created. Keep in mindthat, if you follow the design procedures discussed in Chapter 3, Relational Model Characteristics, and Chapter 5, Data Modelling with Entity Relationship Diagrams, the likelihood of data anomalies
will be small. (But
even the
best database
designers
are known
to
make occasional
mistakes that come to light during normalisation checks.) However, many of the real-world databases you encounter will have been improperly designed or burdened with anomalies if they wereimproperly modified during the course of time. And that means you may be asked to redesign and modify existing databases that are, in effect, anomaly traps. Therefore, you should be aware of good design principles and procedures
as well as normalisation
procedures.
First, an ERDis created through aniterative process. You begin byidentifying relevant entities, their attributes and their relationships. Then you use the results to identify additional entities and attributes. The ERD provides the big picture, or macro view, of an organisations data requirements and operations. Second,
normalisation
focuses
on the
characteristics
of specific
entities;
that is,
normalisation
represents a micro-view of the entities withinthe ERD. And as you learnt in the previous sections of this chapter, the normalisation process may yield additional entities and attributes to beincorporated into the ERD. Therefore, it is difficult to separate the normalisation process from the ER modelling process; the two techniques are used in an iterative and incremental process.

DENORMALISATION
Although the creation of normalised relations is animportant database design goal,it is only one of many such goals. Good database design also considers processing requirements. Astables are decomposed to conform to normalisation requirements, the number of database tables expands. Joining the larger number of tables takes additional input/output (I/O) operations and processing logic, thereby reducing system
speed.
Consequently,
occasional
circumstances
may allow
some
degree
of denormalisation
so
processing speed can beincreased. Keep in mindthat the advantage of higher processing speed must be carefully weighed against the disadvantage of data anomalies. Onthe other hand, some anomalies are of only theoretical interest. For example, should people in a real-world database environment worry that a POST_CODE determines CITY in a CUSTOMER
table
whose primary
key is the
customer
number?
Is it really
practical to
produce
a separate table for: POST_CODE (POST_CODE, to eliminate
a transitive
CITY)
dependency
from the
CUSTOMER
table?
(Perhaps
your answer to that
question
changes if you arein the business of producing mailing lists.) The advice is simple: use common sense during the normalisation process. Normalisation purity is often difficult to sustain in the modern database environment. The conflicts between design efficiency, information requirements and processing speed are often resolved through compromises
that
may include
denormalisation.
You
will also learn
(in
Chapter
15,
Databases
for
Business Intelligence) that lower normalisation forms occur (and are even required) in specialised databases known as data warehouses. Such specialised databases reflect the ever-growing demand for greater scope and depth in the data on which decision-support systems increasingly rely. You will discover
that the
data
warehouse
routinely
uses
2NF structures
in its

data environment. In short, although normalisation is very important, especially production database environment, 2NF is no longer disregarded asit once was.

Structured
Query
Language

TO SQL
Ideally, a database language allows you to create database and table structures, to perform basic data management chores (add, delete and modify), and to perform complex queries designed to transform the raw data into useful information. Moreover, a database language must perform such basic functions with minimal user effort, andits command structure and syntax must be easyto learn. Finally,it must be portable; that is, it
must conform
to some
basic standard
so that
an individual
does not have to relearn
the
basics
when moving from one RDBMS to another. SQL meetsthose ideal database language requirements SQL functions fit into several broad categories: It is

SQL are executed
within the
context of a transaction, whichis alogical unit of work composed of one or more SQL commands. SQL provides commands to control the processing of these statements in anindivisible unit of work. This will be discussed further in Chapter 9. It is a data control language (DCL): Data control commands are used to control access to data objects, such as giving a specific user permission to view the PRODUCT table. Common TCL and DCL commands are shown in Table 8.3.

a query is
a
spur-of-the-moment question. Actually, in the SQL environment, the word query covers both questions and actions. Most SQL queries are used to answer questions such as these: Which products currently held in inventory are priced over 100, and whatis the quantity on hand of each of those products? How many employees have been hired since 1 January 2019 by each ofthe companys departments? However, many SQL queries
are used to perform
actions
such as adding
or deleting table rows
or changing
attribute
values
within tables. Still other SQL queries create new tables orindexes. In short, for a DBMS, a query is simply a SQL statement that must be executed. However, before you can use SQLto query a database, you must define the database environment for SQL withits data definition commands.

8.2.6 SQL Constraints In Chapter 3, Relational Model Characteristics, you learnt that adherence to entity integrity and referential integrity rules is crucial in arelational database environment. Fortunately, most SQL implementations support
both integrity
rules.
Entity integrity
is enforced

when the primary
key is specified
in the CREATE TABLE command sequence. For example, you can create the VENDOR table structure and set the stage for the enforcement of entity integrity rules by using: PRIMARY KEY(V_CODE) As you look

That restriction makesit impossible for a V_CODE value to exist in the PRODUCT table pointing to a non-existent VENDOR table V_CODE value. In other words, the ON UPDATE CASCADE specification ensures the preservation of referential integrity. (Oracle does not support ON UPDATE CASCADE.)

8.2.7 SQLIndexes You learnt in Chapter 3, Relational Model Characteristics, that indexes can be used to improve the efficiency of searches and to avoid duplicate column values. In the previous section, you saw how to declare unique indexes on selected attributes when the table is created. In fact, when you declare a primary key, the DBMS automatically creates a unique index. Even with this feature, you often need additional

NOTE TO ORACLE USERS Some SQLimplementations (such as Oracle) cut the attribute labels to fit the width ofthe column. However, Oracle lets you set the width of the display column to show the complete attribute name. You can also change the display format, regardless of how the data are stored in the table. For example, if you want to display the euro symbols and commas in the P_PRICE output, you can declare: COLUMN P_PRICE FORMAT 99,999.99 to change the output 12347.67 to 12,347.67. In the same manner,to display only the first 12 characters
of the P_DESCRIPT attribute,
use:
COLUMN P_DESCRIPT FORMAT A12 TRUNCATE
Although
SQL commands

Using that formatting convention makesit much easier to see the components of the SQL statements, making it easy to trace the SQL logic and, if necessary, to make corrections. The number of spaces used in the indention is up to you. For example, note the following format for a more complex statement:

enables you to transform data into information. For example, in the following sections, you learn how to create queries that can be used to answer questions such as these: Which products were supplied by a particular vendor?, Which products are priced below 10?, How many products supplied by a given vendor were sold between 5 January 2019 and 20 March 2019?
8.4.1 Selecting Rows with Conditional
Restrictions
You can select partial table contents by placing restrictions on the rows to beincluded in the output. To do this, add conditional restrictions to the SELECT statement, using the WHERE clause. The following syntax enables you to specify which rows to select: SELECT

The SELECT statement retrieves all rows that match the specified condition(s) also known as the conditional criteria you specified in the WHERE clause. The conditionlist in the WHERE clause of the SELECT statement is represented by one or more conditional expressions separated by logical operators.
The
WHERE clause is optional.

This left-to-right For example,
comparison is especially
the
string Ardmore
would be
judged greater than the string Aarenson but less than the string Brown; use such results to generate alphabetical listings like those found in a phone directory. If the characters 0-9 are stored as strings, the same left-to-right string comparisons can lead to apparent anomalies. For example, the ASCII code for the
character
5 is,
as expected,
greater than the
ASCII code for the
character
4.
Yet the
same 5
will also be judged greater than the string 44 because the first character in the string 44 is less than the string 5. For that reason, you may get some unexpected results from comparisons when dates or other numbers are stored in character format. For example, the left-to-right ASCII character comparison would force the conclusion that the date 01/01/2019 occurred before 12/31/2018. Since the leftmost character
0
in 01/01/2019
is less than the leftmost
character
1 in 12/31/2018,
01/01/2019
is less
than 12/31/2018. Naturally, if date strings are stored in a yyyy/mm/dd format, the comparisons will yield appropriate results, but this is a non-standard date presentation. Thats why all current RDBMSs support date data types, and thats why you should use them. In addition, using date data types gives you the benefit of date arithmetic. Using Comparison Operators on Dates Date procedures are often more software specific than other SQL procedures. For example, the query to list all of the rows in which the inventory stock dates occur on or after 20 January, 2019, willlook like this:

8.5.3 Adding a Column You can alter an existing table by adding one or more columns. In the following example, you add the column named P_SALECODE to the PRODUCT table. (This column will be used later to determine whether goods that have been in inventory for a certain length of time should be placed on special sale.)
Suppose you expect the P_SALECODE entries to be 1, 2 or 3. Because there will be no arithmetic performed with the P_SALECODE, the P_SALECODE is classified as a single-character attribute. Note the inclusion of all required information in the following ALTER command: ALTER TABLE PRODUCT ADD (P_SALECODE

8.5.6 Copying Parts of Tables As you will discover in later chapters on database design, sometimes it is necessary to break up a table structure into several component parts (or smaller tables). Fortunately, SQL allows you to copy the contents of selected table columns so that the data need not be re-entered manuallyinto the newly created table(s). For example, if you wantto copy P_CODE, P_DESCRIPT, P_PRICE and V_CODE from the
8
PRODUCT
table to
a new table
named
PART, you create the
PART table
structure
first,
as follows:
CREATE TABLE PART( PART_CODE
CHAR(8) NOT NULL
PART_DESCRIPT PART_PRICE
UNIQUE
CHAR(35),
DECIMAL(8,2),
V_CODE
INTEGER,
PRIMARY
KEY (PART_CODE));
Note that the PART column names need not beidentical table
need
not have the
same
number
of columns
to those ofthe original table and that the new
as the
original
table.
In this
case, the first
column
in the PART table is PART_CODE, rather than the original P_CODE found in the PRODUCT table. And the PART table contains only four columns rather than the seven columns found in the PRODUCT table. However, column characteristics must match; you cannot copy a character-based attribute into a numeric structure and vice versa. Next, you need to add the rows
you use the INSERT command INSERT
INTO
to the
new PART table,
using the
PRODUCT
table
rows.
To do that,
you learnt in Section 8.3.7. The syntax is:
target_tablename[(target_columnlist)]
SELECT
source_columnlist
FROM
source_tablename;
Note that the target column list is required if the source column list doesnt match all of the attribute names and characteristics of the target table (including the order of the columns). Otherwise, you do not need to specify
INSERT command INSERT
INTO
the target
column list. In this example,
you
must specify
the target
column list in the
below because the column names of the target table are different: PART (PART_CODE,
PART_DESCRIPT,
PART_PRICE,
V_CODE)

If the PART table already exists, Oracle will not let you overwrite the existing table. To run this command, you must first delete the existing PART table. (See Section 8.5.8.)

is known
as a cascading
order
sequence,
and it can be created
easily bylisting several attributes, separated by commas, after the ORDER BY clause. The cascading order sequence is the basis for any telephone directory. To illustrate a cascading order sequence, use the following SQL command on the EMPLOYEE table: SELECT EMP_LNAME,
EMP_FNAME,
EMP_INITIAL, EMP_AREACODE,
EMP_PHONE
FROM EMPLOYEE ORDER BY EMP_LNAME,
EMP_FNAME,
EMP_INITIAL;
That command yields the results shown in Figure 8.18. The ORDER BY clause is useful in many applications, especially because the DESC qualifier can be invoked. For example, listing the most recent items first is a standard procedure. Typically, invoice due dates are listed in descending order. Orif you want to examine budgets, its probably useful to start by looking
at the largest
budget line items.
You can use the ORDER BY clause in conjunction with other SQL commands, note the use of restrictions on date and price in the following command sequence: SELECT

8.6.2 Listing Unique Values How
many different
vendors
are currently represented
in the
PRODUCT
table?
A simple listing
(SELECT)
is not very useful if the table contains several thousand rows and you have to sift through the vendor codes manually. Fortunately, SQLs DISTINCT clause is designed to produce alist of only those values that are different from one another. For example, the command: SELECT
DISTINCT V_CODE
FROM
PRODUCT;
yields only the different (distinct) vendor codes (V_CODE) that are encountered in the PRODUCT table, as shown in Figure 8.20. Notethat the first output row shows the null. (By default, Access places the null V_CODE atthe top ofthe list, while Oracle places it atthe bottom. The placement of nulls does not affect the list contents. In Oracle, you could use ORDER BY V_CODE NULLS FIRSTto place nulls atthe top ofthe list.)

PART III
Database
Programming
The aggregate functions can be combined with the SQL commands explored earlier. For example, the second SQL command set in Figure 8.21 supplies the answer to the question, How many vendors
8
referenced
in the
PRODUCT
table
have supplied
products
with prices that
are less
than
or equal to
10? The answer is 3, indicating that three vendors referenced in the PRODUCT table have supplied products that meetthe price specification. The COUNT aggregate function uses one parameter within parentheses, generally a column name such as COUNT(V_CODE) or COUNT(P_CODE). The parameter may also be an expression such as COUNT(DISTINCT
V_CODE)
or COUNT(P_PRICE110).
Using that
syntax,
COUNT
always
returns
the
number of non-null values in the given column. (Whether the column values are computed or show stored table row values is immaterial.) In contrast, the syntax COUNT(*) returns the number of total rows returned by the query, including the rows that contain nulls. In the example in Figure 8.21, SELECT COUNT(P_CODE) FROM PRODUCT and SELECT COUNT(*) FROM PRODUCT will yield the same answer
because
there
are no null values in the
P_CODE
primary
key column.
Note that the third SQL command set in Figure 8.21 uses the COUNT(*) command to answer the question, How many rows in the PRODUCT table have a P_PRICE value less than or equal to 10? The answer, 5, indicates that five products have alisted price that meets the price specification. The COUNT(*) aggregate
function
is used to count rows in a query result
set. In contrast,
the
COUNT(column)
aggregate function counts the number of non-null values in a given column. For example, in Figure 8.20, the COUNT(*) function would return a value of 7to indicate seven rows returned by the query. The COUNT(V_CODE) function would return a value of 6to indicate the six non-null vendor code values.

Creating a virtual table
with the CREATE VIEW command
8
A relational view has several special characteristics: You can use the name of a view anywhere a table name is expected in a SQL statement. Views are dynamically updated. That is, the view is re-created on demand each time it is invoked. Therefore, if new products are added (or deleted) to meetthe criterion P_PRICE . 50.00, those new products automatically appear (or disappear) in the PRICEGT50 view the next time it is invoked. Views
provide
alevel
of security in the
database
because
the
view can restrict
users to specified
columns and specified rows in atable. For example, if you have a company with hundreds of employees in several departments, you could give the secretary of each department a view of only certain attributes and only for the employees that belong to the secretarys department. Views may also be used asthe basis for reports. For example, if you need a report that shows a summary of total product cost and quantity-on-hand statistics grouped by vendor, you could create a PROD_STATS view as:

Table names were used as prefixes in the preceding SQL command sequence. For example, PRODUCT. P_PRICE was used rather than P_PRICE. Most current-generation RDBMSs do not require table names to

In that
case, V_CODE is used as a foreign keyin PRODUCT and as a primary key in VENDOR; therefore, you must use the table names as prefixes in the WHERE clause. In other words, you can writethe previous query as: SELECT

The basic data definition commands allow you to create tables, indexes and views. Many SQL constraints can be used with columns. The commands are CREATE TABLE, CREATEINDEX, CREATE

ALTER TABLE,

TABLE,
DROP VIEW and
DROP INDEX.
DML commands allow you to add, modify, and delete rows from tables. The basic DML commands are SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, COMMIT and ROLLBACK.

The INSERT command is used to add new rows to tables. The UPDATE command is used to modify data values in existing rows of atable. The DELETE command is used to delete rows from tables. The COMMIT and ROLLBACK commands are used to permanently save or roll back changes madeto the rows. Once you COMMIT the changes, you cannot undo them with a ROLLBACK
command.
The SELECT statement is the following syntax:
main data retrieval
command in SQL. A SELECT statement
has the
SELECT columnlist FROM tablelist [WHERE conditionlist ] [GROUP
BY columnlist
]
[HAVING
conditionlist
[ORDER
BY columnlist [ASC | DESC] ] ;
]
The column list represents one or more column names separated by commas. The column list may also include computed columns, aliases and aggregate functions. A computed column is represented by an expression or formula (for example, P_PRICE * P_QOH). The FROM clause contains
alist
of table
names
or view names.
The WHERE clause can be used with the SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE statements to restrict the rows affected by the DDL command. The condition list represents one or more conditional expressions separated bylogical operators (AND/OR/NOT). The conditional expression can contain

(5,

as well as special

Set operatorS
In Chapter 3, Relational Model Characteristics, you learnt about the eight general relational operators. In this section, you willlearn how to use SQL commands (UNION, INTERSECT and MINUS) to implement the union, intersection and difference relational operators. In previous chapters, you learnt that SQL data manipulation commands are set-orientated; that is, they
operate
over entire
sets
of rows
and columns
(tables)
at once.
Using sets,
you
can combine
two or more sets to create new sets (or relations). Thats precisely what the UNION, INTERSECT and MINUS statements do. In relational database terms, you can use the words, sets, relations and tables interchangeably because they all provide a conceptual view of the data set as it is presented to the relational
database

operator.
Other RDBMS
vendors may use a different command name or might not implement a given command at all. For example, MySQL version 8.0 supports the UNION operator and not INTERSECT. To learn more about the ANSI/ISO SQL standards, check the ANSI website (www.ansi.org) to find out how to obtain the latest standard documents in electronic form.

UNION, INTERSECT and MINUS work properly only if relations are union-compatible. In SQL terms, union-compatible means that the names of the relation attributes must be the same and their data types
must be identical.
In
practice,
some
RDBMS
vendors
require
the
data types
to
be compatible
but not necessarily exactly the same. For example, compatible data types are VARCHAR(35) and CHAR(15). In that case, both attributes store character (string) values; the only difference is the string size. Another example of compatible data types is NUMBER and SMALLINT. Both data types are used to store
numeric
values.

Using the examples shown in Table 9.2, note that the subquery is always at the right side of a comparison or assigning expression. Also, a subquery can return one value or multiple values. To be precise, the subquery
can return:
One single value (one column and one row). This subquery is used anywhere a single value is expected,

as in the right
side of a comparison
expression
(such
as in the
UPDATE example
above
when you assign the average price to the products price). Obviously, when you assign a value to an attribute, that value is a single value, not alist of values. Therefore, the subquery mustreturn only one value (one column, one row). If the query returns multiple values, the DBMS will generate an error. Alist of values (one column and multiple rows). This type of subquery is used anywhere alist of values is expected, such as when using the IN clause (that is, when comparing the vendor code to
alist
of vendors).

A virtual table (multicolumn, multirow set of values). This type of subquery can be used anywhere atable is expected, such as when using the FROM clause. You will see this type of query later in this chapter. It is important to note that a subquery can return no values at all;it is a NULL.In such cases, the output of the outer query mayresult in an error or a null empty set depending where the subquery is used (in a comparison, an expression or atable set).

South Africa.
The first SELECT subquery (sqA) uses the output of the SELECT subquery (sqB). The sqA subquery returns the list of product costs for all products provided by vendors from South Africa. The use of the ALL operator allows you to compare a single value (P_QOH * P_PRICE) with alist of values returned by the first subquery (sqA), using a comparison operator other than equals. For arow to appear in the result set,it has to meetthe criterion P_QOH * P_PRICE . ALL of the individual values returned bythe subquery sqA. The values returned by sqA are alist of product costs. In fact, greater
than
ALL is equivalent
to greater
than the highest
product
cost of the list.
In the same
way, a condition ofless than ALL is equivalent to less than the lowest product cost ofthe list. Another
powerful
operator
is the
ANY
multirow
operator
(near
cousin
of the
ALL
multirow
operator).
The ANY operator allows you to compare a single value to alist of values and select only the rows for which the inventory cost is greater than any value ofthe list orless than any value ofthe list. You could use the equal to ANY operator, which would be the equivalent of the IN operator.
9.3.5 FroM Subqueries So far,
you
have seen
how the
SELECT
statement
uses subqueries
within
WHERE,
HAVING
and IN
statements and how the ANY and ALL operators are used for multirow subqueries. In all of those cases, the subquery was part of a conditional expression and it always appeared at the right side ofthe expression. In this section, you willlearn how to use subqueries in the FROM clause. As you already
know, the
FROM clause
specifies
the table(s)
from
which the
data are drawn.
Because
the output of a SELECT statement is another table (or more precisely a virtual table), you could use a SELECT subquery in the FROM clause. For example, assume that you want to know all customers who have purchased products 13-Q2/P2 and 23109-HB. All product purchases are stored in the LINE table. It is easy to find out who purchased any given product by searching the P_CODE attribute in the

The join
condition
selects only the rows with matching CUS_CODE values in each table (base or virtual). In the previous chapter, you learnt that a view is also a virtual table; therefore, you can use a view name anywhere a table is expected. So, you could create two views: one listing all customers who purchased product 13-Q2/P2 and another listing all customers who purchased product 23109-HB. Doing so, you

As you examine the top query and its result in Figure 9.20, note that the LINE table is used more than once; so, you need to use table aliases.

To use sequences during data entry, you must use two special pseudo columns: NEXTVAL and CURRVAL. NEXTVAL retrieves the next available value from a sequence. CURRVAL retrieves the current value of a sequence. For example, you can use the following code to enter a new customer: INSERT INTO

In Chapter 8, Beginning Structured Query Language, you learnt how to create a view and why and how views are used. As mentioned in Chapter 8, Microsoft Access does not support views. Whileviews can be simulated using a SQL query, asis seen here, a view is far more versatile. You will now look at how to make views serve common data management tasks executed by database administrators. One of the
most common
operations
in
production
database
environments
is
using
batch
update
routines to update a master table attribute (field) with transaction data. Asthe name implies, a batch update routine pools multiple transactions into a single batch to update a master table field in a single operation. For example, a batch update routine is commonly used to update a products quantity on hand
based
on summary
sales transactions.
Such routines
are typically
run
as overnight
batch jobs
to
update the quantity on hand of products in inventory. The sales transactions performed, for example, bytravelling salespeople in remote areas were entered during periods when the system was offline. To demonstrate a batch update routine, lets begin by defining the master product table (PRODMASTER) and the product monthly sales totals table (PRODSALES) shown in Figure 9.24. As you examine

Thus far, you have learnt to use SQL to read, write and delete data in the database. For example, you learnt to update values in a record, to add records and to delete records. Unfortunately, SQL does not support the conditional execution of procedures that are typically supported by a programming language IF
using the general format:
,condition.
THEN ,perform ELSE
,perform

END IF SQL also fails to support the looping operations in programming languages that permit the execution repetitive actions typically encountered in a programming environment. The typical format is:

The LOOP statement is used to loop through the data in the cursor, fetching
one row at atime.
The FETCH command is used to retrieve a row from the cursor and place it in the respective PL/SQL variables. The EXIT command is used to evaluate when there are no more rows in the cursor (using the %NOTFOUND cursor attribute) and to exit the loop. The
%ROWCOUNT cursor attribute is used to obtain the total
number of rows
processed.
The CLOSE PROD_CURSOR command is used to close the cursor. The use of cursors,

The program is compiled using the host language compiler. The compiler creates an object code module for the program containing the DBMS procedure calls. The object code is linked to the respective library modules and generates the executable program. This process binds the DBMS procedure calls to the DBMS run-time libraries. Additionally, the binding process typically creates an access plan module that contains instructions to run the embedded

each product
sold after
a new LINE row is added.
Create a stored procedure named prc_inv_amounts to update the INV_SUBTOTAL, INV_TAX and INV_TOTAL.
The procedure
takes
the invoice

as a parameter.
The INV_SUBTOTAL
is the
sum ofthe LINE_TOTAL amounts for the invoice, the INV_TAX is the product ofthe INV_SUBTOTAL and the tax rate (8%), and the INV_TOTAL is the sum of the INV_SUBTOTAL and the INV_TAX.

CaSe EliteVideo is a start-up company providing a concierge DVD kiosk service in upscale neighbourhoods. EliteVideo can own several copies (VIDEO) of each movie(MOVIE). For example, a kiosk may have 10 copies of the movie Cry,the Beloved Country. In the database, Cry,the Beloved Country would be one MOVIE, and each copy would be a VIDEO. Arental transaction (RENTAL) involves one or more videos being rented
to a member (MEMBERSHIP).
A video
can be rented
many times
over its lifetime;
therefore,
there

eM-Dat: tHe InteRnatIOnaL DIsasteR FOR DIsasteR PRePaReDness
Database
In 1998, the first emergency events database known as EM-DAT was set up by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) with support from the Belgian Government. The purpose ofthe database wasto aidin decision makingfor disaster preparedness, as well as provide an objective base for vulnerability assessment and priority setting1 . During the last few
years
EM-DAT
has become
the
main global reference
database.
EM-DAT stores information on over 22 000 disasters that have occurred across the world from 1900 to the present day. Datais collected from many sources such as the United Nations, governments and the International Red Cross. The datais of various quality sois constantly checked for inconsistencies,
data redundancy
and incompleteness.
Each natural
disaster is recorded
using
a unique disaster number identifier, the disaster type, subtypes, associated disasters, start and end dates, and location. Disasters are classified into 15 types of natural disasters (and morethan 30 subtypes) and technological disasters which cover 15 disaster types. This now means that if a natural disaster affects a number of countries all the data that are collected from each country can be recorded
under
one unique
reference
number.
For example,
the
2004 tsunami
in
South
East
Asia affected 13 different countries but is recorded as one single event. From the database, disaster-related economic damage estimates can be obtained and also details ofinternational aid contributions for specific disasters. Each year EM-DAT aids CREDin conducting areview of disaster events throughout the year, e.g., In 2018, there were 281 climate-related and
geophysical
events recorded
in the
EM-DAT

systeM
A database is a carefully designed and constructed repository of facts. The fact repository is a part of alarger whole, known as an information system. Aninformation system provides for data collection, storage and retrieval. It also facilitates the transformation of data into information and the management of both data and information. Thus, a complete information system is composed of people, hardware, software,

Asillustrated in Figure 10.2, the traditional SDLC is divided into five phases: planning, analysis, detailed systems design, implementation and maintenance. The SDLC is an iterative rather than a sequential process. For example, the details of the feasibility study might help refine the initial assessment, and the details discovered during the user requirements portion of the SDLC might help refine the feasibility study.

the SDLC is in order.
10.2.1 Planning The SDLC planning phase yields a general overview of the company and its objectives. An initial assessment of the information-flow-and-extent requirements must be made during this discovery portion of the SDLC. Such an assessment should answer some important questions: Should the existing system be continued? If the information generator does its job well, there is no point in modifying or replacing it.

points:
The process of database design is loosely related to the analysis and design of alarger system. The data component is only one element of alarger information system. The systems analysts or systems programmers are in charge of designing the other system components. Their activities create the procedures that will help transform the data within the database into useful information. The database design does not constitute a sequential process. Rather, it is an iterative that provides continuous feedback designed to trace previous steps.

As the database and application programs are created and tested, the system must also be evaluated using a more holistic approach.

Timely data availability is crucial for almost every database. Unfortunately, the database can lose data through unintended deletions, power outages and other causes. Data backup and recovery procedures create a safety valve, ensuring the availability of consistent data. Typically, database vendors encourage

First, the type

As soon

a well-designed system to bog down. In that case, the designers have to identify the source(s) of the bottleneck(s) and produce alternative solutions. These solutions mayinclude using load-balancing software to distribute the transactions among multiple computers, increasing the available cache for the DBMS, and so on. In any case, the demand for change is the designers constant, whichleads to the

Bottom-up design first identifies the data elements (items), then groups them together in data sets. In other words, it first defines attributes, then groups them to form entities. The two approaches areillustrated in Figure 10.10. The selection of a primary emphasis on top-down or bottom-up procedures often depends on the scope ofthe problem or on personal preferences. Although the two methodologies are complementary rather than mutually exclusive, a primary emphasis on a bottom-up

DesIgn
The two general approaches (bottom-up and top-down) to database design can be influenced by factors such asthe scope and size of the system, the companys management style, and the companys structure (centralised or decentralised). Depending on such factors, the database design may be based on two very different design philosophies: centralised and decentralised. Centralised
design is productive
when the
data component
is composed
of a relatively
small number
of objects and procedures. The design can be carried out and represented in a fairly simple database. Centralised design is typical of relatively simple and/or small databases and can be successfully done by a single person (database administrator) or by a small, informal design team. The company operations and the
scope
of the
problem
are sufficiently
limited
to
allow
even a single
designer
to
define
the
problem(s), create the conceptual design, verify the conceptual design withthe user views, define system processes and data constraints to ensure the efficacy of the design, and ensure that the design will comply with all the requirements. Although centralised design is typical for small companies, do not make the mistake of assuming that centralised design is limited to small companies. Even large companies can operate
within a relatively
simple
database
environment.
Figure
10.11 summarises
the
centralised
design option. Note that a single conceptual design is completed and then validated in the centralised design approach. Decentralised design might be used when the data component of the system has a considerable number
of entities
and complex
relations
on which very complex
operations
are performed.
Decentralised
design is also likely to be employed when the problem itself is spread across several operational and each element is a subset of the entire data set. (See Figure 10.12.)

administration strategy to beimplemented. Data managementis a complex job and hasled to the development of the database administration function. The person responsible for the control ofthe centralised and shared database is the database administrator (DBA). The size and role ofthe DBAfunction varies from company to company, as doesits placement within a companys organisational structure. Onthe organisation chart, the
DBA function
might be defined
as either
a staff
or line
position.
Placing the
DBA function
in a staff
position often creates a consulting environment in whichthe DBAis able to devise the data administration strategy but does not have the authority to enforce it or to resolve possible conflicts. The DBA function in aline position has both the responsibility and the authority to plan, define, implement and enforce the policies,
standards
and procedures
used in the data administration
activity.
The two
possible

You will now learn briefly about two distinct roles that a DBA must perform. These are known as the managerial role and the technical role. The DBAs managerial role is focused on personnel management and on interactions with the end-user community. The DBAs technical role involves the use of the DBMS database design, development and implementation as well as the production, development and use of application

These three stages of database design are not totally intuitive and obvious. There is no single quick or automated method for tackling each stage. A well-designed database takes a considerable amount of time and effort to envisage, build and refine. It cannot be stressed enough that, if the time is taken to design your databases properly, then it will provide a solid foundation in which to build a complete system.

a clear understanding of the business and its functional areas. At this level of abstraction, the type of hardware and/or database modelto be used might not yet have been identified. Therefore, the design must be software and hardware independent so the system can be set up within any hardware and software platform chosen later. Keep in
mind the following

In other words, make sure that all data needed are in the model and that all data in the model are needed. All data elements required by the database transactions must be defined in the model, and all data elements defined in the model must be used by atleast one database transaction. However,

As you willlikely discover, the initial ER model may be subjected to several revisions before it meets the systems requirements. Such arevision process is quite natural. Remember that the ER modelis a communications
tool
as well as a design
blueprint.
Therefore,
the initial
ER
model should
give rise to
questions such as,Is this really what you meant? when you continue to meet with the proposed system users. For example, the ERD shown in Figure 11.2 is far from complete. Clearly, many more attributes must be defined and the dependencies must be checked before the design can be implemented. In addition, the design cannot yet support the typical DVDrental transactions environment. For example, each

11.2.2 Validating the Logical Data Model Using Normalisation As you will have seen in Chapter 7, Normalising Database Designs, the normalisation process helps to establish appropriate attributes, their characteristics, and their domains. Nevertheless, because the conceptual modelling process does not preclude the definition of attributes, you can reasonably argue that normalisation often straddles the line between conceptual and logical modelling. In creating the logical
data
model, we have so far created
relations
from
the ERD and these
bein third normal form. If they are not, then it is likely that we have made some verification process and it will be necessary to revisit the ERD model.

supporting this type of file organisation can be stored in a sorted or is created to locate specific records quickly. Indexes are crucial in facilitate searching, sorting and using aggregate functions and even in data access speed occurs because an index is an ordered set of
key and pointers.
The pointers
are the row IDs for the actual table rows.
Conceptually, a data index is similar to a book index. Whenyou use a book index, you look up the word, similar to the index key, which is accompanied by the page number(s), similar to the pointer(s), which direct(s) you to the appropriate page(s). An index

and the amount of data is usually a magnitude of scale smaller. Therefore, when performing searches, it is almost always better for the DBMS to use an index to access a table than to scan all its rows sequentially. For example, Figure 11.18 shows the index representation of a CUSTOMER table with 14 786 rows and the index COUNTRY_NDX on the CUS_COUNTRY attribute.

B-trees
Within a DBMS, indexes are often stored in a data structure known as a tree. Trees are generally more efficient at storing indexes as they reduce the time of the search compared with other data structures such aslists. These trees are often referred to as Balanced or B-trees and are used to maintain an ordered

data.
A B-tree
consists of a hierarchy of nodes that contain a set of pointers that link the nodes of the B-tree together. Each B-tree that is created is said to be of the order n where n is the maximum number of children allowed for each parent node. We can say that each node in a B-tree of order n contains at most 2n keys and 2n 1 1 pointers. This is true

B-tree.
When a node
does not have any children, it is called aleaf node. Each item (index or data) stored in a B-tree is known as a key. Each key is unique and can occur in the B-tree in only onelocation. The B-tree must always be balanced in that every path from the root to the leaf must be exactly the same length. The general principle is that for every node (which we will call n)in the tree: The left subtree of n contains only values smaller than the value in n. The right subtree of n contains

A column in the table has low cardinality. Although all DBMSs vary, Oracle considers where the index has fewer than 100 distinct values.
columns
The table is not used often for data manipulation activities. This meansthat there are hardly any updates to the data in the table and few rows areinserted or deleted. Updating bitmapped indexes takes a lot of time, so, for example, if you update the data in the table regularly another type
of index
would be less resource
intensive.

Join Index Like the bitmap index, the join index is used mainlyin data warehousing and applies to columns from two
or
more tables
whose values
come from the
same
domain.
It is
often referred
to
as a bitmap join
index and it is a way of saving space by reducing the volume of data that must bejoined. The bitmap join stores the ROWIDs of corresponding rows in a separate table. For example, Figure 11.24 shows two tables, CUSTOMER and EMPLOYEE, which both have columns containing area codes (CUST_AREACODE and EMP_AREACODE) that share the same domain. Each table
also has a ROWID.

PROBLEMS 1
Writethe proper sequence of activities in the design of a video rental database. (The initial ERD was shown in Figure 11.7.) The design must support all rental activities, customer payment tracking and employee work schedules, as well as track which employees checked out the videos to the customers. When you have finished writing the design activity sequence, complete the ERD to ensure that the

(Make
sure that
the

BUSINESS VIGNETTE FROM DATA WAREHOUSETO DATA LAKE Since the early 1990s, a vast amount of data has been stored in data warehouses in order to provide a central repository for business intelligence within an organisation. The concept of a data warehouse originated from studies undertaken at MITin the early 1970s.1 However, the term information
warehouse
was first
used in 1986
by Barry Devlin and Paul Murphy in an article
entitled
An Architecture for a Business and Information System in IBM Systems Journal.2 They identified what was known commonly as the islands of information problem. This is where organisations had many operational systems that were not integrated, data were duplicated and reporting from the global business perspective was rare. Data warehousing took off in earnest in 1991 when Bill Inmon
published
his book
entitled
Building
the
Data
Warehouse.3
While in
1996 there
were
more data warehouse projects initiated than in previous years, arguments began about whether data warehousing solutions were too generalised in trying to model the whole organisation. An alternative methodology to developing a data warehouse that focused on the use of data marts was championed by Ralph Kimball.4 The development of data martsfocused on the data requirements of individual
departments
rather
than the
whole organisation.
The data
mart proved
successful
as
it provided a quick return oninvestment and introduced the concepts of the dimensional modelling of data. It is now the norm for data warehouses to store terabytes of data. The number of users accessing

12.2.2 Uncommitted The
phenomenon
Data
of uncommitted
data
occurs
when two transactions,
T1 and
T2, are executed
concurrently and the first transaction (T1) is rolled back after the second transaction (T2) has already accessed the uncommitted data thus violating the isolation property of transactions. Toillustrate this possibility, lets use the same transactions described during the lost updates discussion. T1 has two atomic
parts to it,
one of which is the
update
of the inventory,
the other
possibly
being the
update
of
the invoice total (not shown). T1 is forced to roll back due to an error during the update of the invoice total; hence, it rolls back allthe way, undoing the inventory update as well. This time the T1transaction is rolled back to eliminate the addition of the 100 units. Because T2 subtracts 30 from the original 35 units, the correct answer should be 5.

The computed answer of 102 is obviously wrong because you know from Table 12.7 that the correct answer is 92. Unless the DBMS exercises concurrency control, a multi-user database environment can create
havoc
within the information
system.
12.2.4 The Scheduler You now know that severe problems can arise when two or more concurrent transactions are executed. You also know that a database transaction involves a series of database I/O operations that take the database from one consistent state to another. Finally, you know that database consistency can be ensured
only before
and
after the
execution
of transactions.
A database
always
moves through
an unavoidable temporary state of inconsistency during a transactions execution. That temporary inconsistency exists because a computer cannot execute two operations at the same time and must therefore execute them serially. During this serial process, the isolation property of transactions prevents
12
them
from
accessing
the
data not yet released
by other transactions.
In previous examples, the operations within atransaction were executed in an arbitrary order. Aslong as two transactions, T1 and T2, access unrelated data, there is no conflict and the order of execution is irrelevant to the final outcome. However, if the transactions operate on related (or the same) data, conflict is possible among the transaction components and the selection of one operational order over another
may have
some
undesirable
consequences.
So, how is the
correct
order
determined,
and
who determines that order? Fortunately, the DBMS handles that tricky assignment by using a built-in scheduler. The scheduler is a special DBMS program that establishes the order in which the operations within concurrent
transactions
are executed.
The scheduler
interleaves
the
execution
of database
operations
to ensure serialisability and isolation of transactions. To determine the appropriate order, the scheduler bases its actions on concurrency control algorithms, such aslocking or time stamping methods, which are explained in the next sections.

of the level
of locking,
the

that is, a database, table,
use that
object.
If
an object
is
unlocked, any transaction can lock the object for its use. Every database operation requires that the affected object belocked. As a rule, atransaction must unlock the object after its termination. Therefore, every transaction requires alock and unlock operation for each data item that is accessed. Such operations are automatically managed and scheduled by the DBMS; the user does not need to be concerned
about locking
or unlocking
data items.
(Every
DBMS
has a default locking
mechanism.
If
the end user wants to override the default, the LOCK TABLE and other SQL commands are available for that purpose.) The binary locking technique is illustrated in Table 12.10, using the lost updates problem you encountered in Table 12.3. As you examine Table 12.10, note that the lock and unlock features eliminate the lost
update
problem.
(The
lock is
not released
until the
write statement
is
completed.
Therefore
a PROD_QOH value cannot be used until it has been properly updated.) However, binary locks are now considered too restrictive to yield optimal concurrency conditions. For example, the DBMS will not allow two transactions to read the same database object even though neither transaction updates the
database
(and,
therefore,
no concurrency
problems
can occur).
concurrency conflicts occur only whentwo transactions the database.

Shared/Exclusive Locks An exclusive lock exists when access is reserved specifically for the transaction that locked the object. The exclusive lock must be used when the potential for conflict exists (see Table 12.9). A shared lock exists when concurrent transactions are granted Read access onthe basis of a common lock. A shared lock
produces
no conflict
as long
as all the
concurrent
transactions
are read-only.
A shared lock is issued when a transaction wants to read data from the database and no exclusive lock is held on that data item. An exclusive lock is issued when a transaction wants to update (write) a

In this example, the transaction acquires all of the locks it needs until it reaches its locked point. (In this example, the transaction requires two locks.) When the locked point is reached, the data are modified to conform to the transaction requirements. Finally, the transaction is completed asit releases all of the locks
it acquired
in the first
phase.
Two-phase locking increases the transaction processing effects. One undesirable effect is the possibility of creating
cost and may cause additional undesirable deadlocks.

Transactions

659
METHODS
The time stamping approach to scheduling concurrent transactions assigns a global, unique time stamp to each transaction. The time stamp value produces an explicit order in which transactions are submitted to the DBMS. Time stamps must have two properties: uniqueness and monotonicity. Uniqueness ensures that no equal time stamp values can exist, and monotonicity6 ensures that time stamp
values
always increase.
All database operations (Read and Write) within the same transaction must have the same time stamp. The DBMS executes conflicting operations in time stamp order, thereby ensuring serialisability of the transactions. If two transactions conflict, one is stopped, rolled back, rescheduled and assigned a new time
stamp
value.
The disadvantage of the time stamping approach is that each value stored in the database requires two additional time stamp fields: one for the last time the field was read and one for the last update. Time stamping thus increases memory needs and the databases processing overhead. Time stamping tends to demand considerable system resources because manytransactions may have to be stopped, rescheduled
and restamped.
12.4.1
Wait/Die and Wound/Wait Schemes
You have learnt that time stamping methods are used to manage concurrent transaction execution. In this section, you willlearn about two schemes used to decide which transaction is rolled back and which continues executing: the wait/die scheme and the wound/wait scheme.7 An example illustrates the difference. Assume that you have two conflicting transactions, T1 and T2, each with a unique time stamp.
Suppose
T1 has a time
stamp
of 11548789
and
T2 has a time
stamp
of 19562545.
You can
deduce from the time stamps that T1is the older transaction (the lower time stamp value) and T2is the newer transaction. Given that scenario, the four possible outcomes are shown in Table 12.12. TABLE

NOTE Asthis book focuses on databases, this chapter covers only those factors directly affecting database performance. Also, because performance-tuning techniques can be DBMS-specific, the material in this chapter may not be applicable under all circumstances, nor will it necessarily pertain to all DBMS types. This chapter
is
designed
to
build
a foundation
for the
general
understanding
of database performance-tuning issues and to help you choose appropriate performance-tuning strategies. (For the most current information about tuning your database, consult the vendors documentation.)

Once the SQL statement is transformed, the DBMS creates whatis commonly known as an access or execution plan. An access/execution plan contains the series of steps a DBMS uses to execute the query and return the result set in the most efficient way. First, the DBMS checks to see if an access plan for the query already exists in the SQL cache. If it does, the DBMS reuses the access plan to save time. If it

OPTIMISER CHOICES
Query optimisation is the central activity during the parsing phase in query processing. In this phase, the DBMS must choose what indexes to use, how to perform join operations, which table to use first, and so on. Each DBMS has its own algorithms for determining the most efficient way to access the data. The query optimiser can operate in one of two modes: Arule-based execute

added
to yield the cost of the execution plan. For example, a full table scan will have a set cost of ten, while atable access by row ID will have a set cost of three. A cost-based optimiser uses sophisticated algorithms based on the statistics about the objects being accessed to determine the best approach to execute a query. In this case, the optimiser process adds up the processing cost, the I/O costs, and the resource costs (RAM and temporary space) to come up with the total cost of a given execution plan. The optimiser objective is to find alternative ways to execute a query, to evaluate the cost of each alternative and then to choose the one with the lowest cost. To understand the function of the query optimiser,
lets
use a simple
example.

products come from vendors in South Africa.
Its important to point out that only items 1 and 2 are available to the optimiser. Items 3 and 4 are assumed to illustrate the choices that the optimiser must make. Armed with the information in items 1 and 2, the
optimiser
would try to find the
most efficient
way to
access
the
data.
The primary
13
factor
in determining the most efficient access plan is the I/O cost. (Remember, the DBMS will always try to minimize I/O operations.) Table 13.4 shows two sample access plans for the previous query and their respective I/O costs.

only the number ofI/O disk reads the DBMS must perform. For simplicitys sake, it is assumed that there are noindexes and that each row read has anI/O cost of 1. For example, in Step A1,the DBMS must perform a Cartesian product of PRODUCT and VENDOR. To do that, the DBMS mustread all rows from PRODUCT (7 000) and allrows from VENDOR (300), giving atotal of 7 300 I/O operations. The same computation is done in all steps. In

For example,
in Oracle, consider the use ofindex-organised tables (IOT); in SQL Server, consider clustered index tables. Anindex-organised table (or clustered index table) is a table that stores the end-user data and the index data in consecutive locations on permanent storage.

As you can see in Figure 13.5, creation of the second index did not help the query optimisation. However, there are occasions when an index could be used by the optimiser, but it is not selected because of the wayin which the query is written. For example, Figure 13.6 shows the access plan for a different query using the V_NAME column.

SUMMARY Database performance tuning refers to a set of activities and procedures an end-user

of time.
SQL performance tuning refers to the activities on the client side designed to generate SQL code that returns the correct answer in the least amount of time, using the fewest resources at the server
end.
DBMS performance tuning refers to activities on the server side orientated to ensure that the DBMS is properly configured to respond to clients requests in the fastest way possible while making
optimum
use of existing
resources.
Database statistics refers to a number of measurements gathered by the DBMS that describe a snapshot of the database objects characteristics. The DBMS gathers statistics about objects such as tables, indexes, and available resources such as number of processors used, processor speed

Data
In 2018, Facebook faced international investigations into illegally collecting users personal data. The data was collected by Cambridge Analytica, which was a political consultation company that supported President Trumps 2016 election campaign. It was suggested that Cambridge Analytica had collected data from up to 87 million users across the globe and then used this data: firstly, to
profile the
candidate
people
were likely
to
vote for in the
US election,
and secondly,
to target
advertisements at users to try to influence whothey would vote for. The data was collected through a Facebook app called thisisyourdigitallife, where users consented to take partin a personality study. However, the app also extracted personal data from linked Facebook friends without their consent. However,
all the
data obtained

knowledge
to

a software
program
to
influence the US elections, which was sold to Trump campaigners. The major concern, even today, is that Facebook does not know which data the app shared with Cambridge Analytica. In 2019, lawsuits against Facebook continue, with USjudges requesting that all Facebooks data privacy records be made available after the companys lawyers argued that users have no expectation
of privacy.

ManageMent
A distributed database management system (DDBMS) governs the storage and processing of logically related data over interconnected computer systems in which both data and processing functions are distributed among several sites. To understand how and why the DDBMS is different from
the
DBMS, it is
useful to
examine
briefly the
changes
in the
database
environment
that
set the
stage for the development of the DDBMS. During the 1970s, corporations implemented centralised database management systems to meet their structured information needs. Structured information is usually presented as regularly issued formal reports in a standard format. Such information, generated by 3GL programming languages, is created by specialists
in response
to
precisely
channelled
requests.
Thus, structured
information
needs are
well
served by centralised systems. Basically, the use of a centralised database required that corporate data be stored in a single central site, usually a mainframe or midrange computer. Data access was provided through dumb terminals. The centralised approach, illustrated in Figure 14.1, worked wellto fill the structured information needs of corporations,
but it fell short
when quickly

times
and equally
quick access to information. The slow progression from information request to approval, to specialist, to user, simply did not serve decision makers wellin a dynamic environment. What was needed was quick, unstructured access to databases, using ad hoc queries to generate on-the-spot information.

Atthis point in time, the long-term impact ofthe internet and the mobile revolution on distributed database design and management is unclear. Perhaps the internet and mobile technologies success willfoster the use of distributed databases as bandwidth becomes a more troublesome bottleneck. Perhaps the resolution of bandwidth problems will simply confirm the centralised database standard. In any case, distributed

14 Distributed databases are used successfully but have along way to go before they can yield the full flexibility and power of which they are theoretically capable. The inherently complex distributed data environment increases the urgency for standard protocols governing transaction management, concurrency

and so on.
Such issues must be addressed and resolved before DDBMS technology is widely embraced. The remainder of this chapter will explore the basic components and concepts of the distributed database. Because the distributed database is usually based on the relational database model, relational terminology is used to explain the basic distributed concepts and components.

a distributed

Although the database resides at only one site (London), each site can access the data and update the database. The database is located on Computer A, a network computer known as the database server.

A distributed request lets a single SQL statement reference data located at several different local or remote DP sites. Because each request (SQL statement) can access data from more than onelocal or remote DP site, a transaction can access several sites. The ability to execute a distributed request provides

because
multi-site, multiple-process operations are morelikely to create data inconsistencies and deadlocked transactions than single-site systems are. For example, the TP component of a DDBMS must ensure that all parts of the transaction are completed at all sites before a final COMMIT is issued to record the transaction.
Suppose each transaction operation was committed by each local DP, but one of the DPs could not commit the transactions results. Such a scenario would yield the problems illustrated in Figure 14.15: the transaction(s) would yield aninconsistent database, withits inevitable integrity problems, because committed data cannot be uncommitted! The solution for the problem illustrated in Figure 14.15 is a two-phase

distributed
databases makeit possible for atransaction to access data at several sites. A final COMMIT must not beissued until all sites have committed their parts ofthe transaction. The two-phase commit protocol guarantees that, if a portion of a transaction operation cannot be committed, all changes made at the other sites participating in the transaction will be undone to maintain a consistent database state.

PerForMance
One of the
most important
anD FaIlure functions
transParency
of a database
is its
ability
to
make data
available.
Web-based
distributed data systems demand high availability, which means not only that data are accessible but that requests are processed in atimely manner. For example, the average Google search has a sub-second response time. When was the last time you entered a Google query and waited more than a couple
of seconds
for the results?
Performance
transparency
allows
a DDBMS to
perform
as if it
were
a centralised database. In other words, no performance degradation should be incurred due to data distribution. Failure transparency ensures that the system will continue to operate in the case of a node or network failure. Although these are two separate issues, they are interrelated in that a failing node or congested network path could cause performance problems. Therefore, both issues are addressed in this section.
The objective of a query optimisation routine is to minimise the total cost associated execution of a request. The costs associated with arequest are afunction of the:
with the
access time (I/O) cost involved in accessing the physical data stored on disk communication

with the transmission
of data among

database systems CPUtime cost associated Although
with the processing
costs are often classified

as either communication
or processing
costs, it is difficult
to separate
the two. Not all query optimisation algorithms use the same parameters, and not all algorithms assign the same weight to each parameter. For example, some algorithms minimise total time; others minimise the communication time; and still others do not factor in the CPU time, considering it insignificant relative to other cost sources.

Fragmentation
There are various
ways to partition a table horizontally:
Round-robin partitioning. Rows are assigned to a given fragment in a round-robin fashion (F1, F2, F3,..., Fn) to ensure an even distribution of rows among all fragments. However, this is not a good strategy if you require location awareness the ability to determine which DP node will process a query based on the geospatial location of the requester. For example, you would want

A partition
key is one or more attributes
in a table
that determine the fragment in which a row will be stored. For example, if you want to provide location awareness, a good partition key would be the customer state field.

Distributed
Databases

suMMary A distributed database stores logically related data in two or more physically independent sites connected via a computer network. The database is divided into fragments, which can be horizontal (a set of rows) or vertical (a set of attributes). Each fragment can be allocated to a different
network
node.
Distributed processing is the division oflogical database processing among two or more network nodes. Distributed databases require distributed processing. A distributed database management system (DDBMS)

Alltransparencies share the common objective of making the distributed database behave as though it were a centralised database system; that is, the end user sees the data as part of a single logical centralised database and is unaware of the systems complexities. Atransaction is formed by one or more database requests. An undistributed transaction updates or requests data from a single site. A distributed transaction can update or request data from multiple sites. Distributed concurrency control is required in a network of distributed databases. COMMIT protocol is used to ensure that all parts of a transaction are completed. A distributed
DBMS evaluates
every data request
to find the
database. The DDBMS must optimise the query to reduce costs associated with the query. The design

The designer must also decide how to allocate each fragment or replica to obtain better overall response time and to ensure data availability to the end user. A database
can be replicated
over several
different
sites
on a computer
network.
The replication
of the database fragments has the objective ofimproving data availability, thus decreasing access time. A database can be partially, fully, or not replicated. Data allocation strategies are designed to determine the location of the database fragments or replicas. The CAP theorem states that a highly distributed data system has some desirable properties of consistency, availability and partition tolerance. However, a system can only provide two of these properties at atime.

Organisations tend to grow and prosper as they gain a better understanding of their environment. Typically, business managers must be able to track daily transactions to evaluate how the business is performing. Bytapping into the operational database, management can develop strategies to meet organisational goals. In addition, data analysis can provide information about short-term tactical evaluations
and strategies

are
we controlling? Are we attracting new customers? Tactical and strategic decisions are also shaped by constant pressure from external and internal forces, including globalisation, the cultural and legal environment, and, perhaps mostimportantly, technology. Given the

managers

For example,
transaction-processing
systems, based on operational databases, are tailored to serve the information needs of people who deal with short-term inventory, accounts payable and purchasing.

Those managers require summarised information designed to help them make decisions

As depicted in Figure 15.1, BIintegrates people and processes using technology to add value to the business. Such value is derived from how end users apply such information in their daily activities, and particularly

decision
making.
The focus of traditional information systems was on operational automation and reporting; in contrast, BI tools focus on the strategic and tactical use of information. To achieve this goal, BI recognises that technology alone is not enough. Therefore, BI uses an arrangement of best management practices to manage data as a corporate asset. One of the most recent developments in this
area is the
use of

is a collection of concepts, techniques and processes for the proper identification, definition and management of data elements within an organisation.

Although still in its infancy, mobile BI technology is poised to have a significant impact on the way BIinformation is disseminated and processed. If the number of students using smart phones to communicate with friends, update their Facebook status and send tweets on Twitter is any indicator, you can expect the next generation of consumers and workers to be highly mobile.

point of view, the differences
between operational
and decision support
data are
Operational data represent transactions as they happen, in real time. Decision support data are a snapshot of the operational data at a given point in time. Therefore, decision support data are historic, representing a time slice of the operational data. Operational and decision support data are different in terms of the transaction type and transaction volume. Whereas operational data are characterised by update transactions, are
mainly characterised
by query (read-only)
transactions.
Decision
support
DSS data
data also require
periodic updates to load new data that are summarised from the operational data. Finally, the transaction volume in operational data tends to be very high when compared with the low-to-medium levels found in decision support data. Operational data are commonly stored in manytables, and the stored data represent the information about a given transaction only. Decision support data are generally stored in a few tables that store data derived from the operational data. The decision support data do not include the

and
The degree to which decision support data are summarised is very high when contrasted with operational data. Therefore, you will see a great deal of derived data in decision support databases. For example, rather than storing all 10 000 sales transactions for a given store on a given
day, the decision

sold and the
total sales euros generated during that day. Decision support data might be collected to monitor such aggregates as total sales for each store or for each product. The purpose of the summaries is simple: they are to be used to establish and evaluate sales trends, product sales comparisons, and so on, that serve decision needs. (How well are items selling?

Database requirements
A decision support database is a specialised DBMS tailored to provide fast answers to complex queries. There are four mainrequirements for a decision support database: the database schema, data extraction and loading, the end-user analytical interface and database size. Database Schema The decision support database schema must support complex (non-normalised) data representations. As noted earlier, the decision support database must contain data that are aggregated and summarised. In addition to meeting those requirements, the queries must be able to extract multidimensional time slices. If you are using

warehouse.
Whateverthe underlying database technology, one ofthe mainfeatures of multidimensional analysis is its ability to focus on specific slices of the cube. For example, the product manager may beinterested in examining the sales of a product, while the store manager is interested in examining the sales made by a particular store. Using multidimensional jargon, the ability to focus on slices of the cube to perform a more detailed
analysis is known
as slice

Figure
15.9 illustrates
the slice-and-dice
As you look at Figure 15.9, note that each cut across the cube yields a slice. Intersecting small cubes that constitute the dice part of the slice-and-dice operation.

data
To slice and dice, it must be possible to identify each slice ofthe cube. This is done by using the values of each attribute in a given dimension. For example, to use the location dimension, you might need to define a STORE_ID attribute in order to focus on a particular store. Given the requirement for attribute values in a slice-and-dice environment, lets re-examine Table
15.9.
Note that
each
attribute
adds
an additional
perspective
to the
sales facts,
thus
setting
the stage for finding new ways to search, classify and possibly aggregate information. For example, the location dimension adds a geographic perspective of where the sales took place: in which country, region, city, store and so on. All of the attributes are selected with the objective of providing decision support data to the end user so that he or she can study sales by each of the dimensions attributes. Time is

The time
dimension
provides
a framework
from
which
sales patterns can be analysed and, possibly, predicted. Also, the time dimension plays an important role when the data analyst is interested in looking at sales aggregates by quarter, month, week, and so on. Given the importance and universality of the time dimension from a data analysis perspective, many vendors

Data analytics is a subset of BIfunctionality that encompasses a wide range of mathematical, statistical and modelling techniques with the purpose of extracting knowledge from data. Data analytics is used at all levels within the BI framework, including queries and reporting, monitoring and alerting, and data visualisation. Hence, data analytics is a shared service that is crucial to what BI adds to an organisation.
Data analytics

BI: the
ability
to
extract actionable business insight from current events and foresee future problems or opportunities. Data analytics discovers characteristics, relationships, dependencies or trends in the organisations data, and then explains the discoveries and predicts future events based on the discoveries.

that
goes
from discovery to explanation to prediction. The outcomes of data analytics then become part of the information framework on which decisions are built. Based on the previous discussion, data analytics tools can be grouped into two separate (but closely related and often overlapping) areas: explanatory analytics focuses on discovering and explaining data characteristics and relationships based on existing data. Explanatory analytics uses statistical tools to formulate hypotheses, test them, and answer the how and why of such relationships for example, how do past sales relate to Predictive

Predictive analytics uses sophisticated statistical tools to help the end user create advanced models that answer questions about future data occurrences for example, what would next months sales be based on a given customer promotion? You can think of explanatory analytics as explaining the past and present, while predictive analytics forecasts

analytics uses explanatory analytics as a stepping stone to create predictive models. Data analytics has evolved over the years from simple statistical analysis of business data to dimensional analysis with OLAP tools, and then from data mining that discovers data patterns, relationships and trends to its current status of predictive analytics. The next sections illustrate the basic characteristics of data mining and predictive
analytics.

The need for moreintensive decision support prompted the introduction of a new generation of tools. Those new tools, called online analytical processing (OLAP), create an advanced data analysis environment that supports decision making, business modelling and operations research. OLAP systems share three main characteristics. They: Use multidimensional Provide advanced
data analysis techniques
database support
Provide easy-to-use
end-user interfaces.
Lets examine each of those characteristics.
15.7.1
Multidimensional
Data analysis techniques
The most distinct characteristic of modern OLAP tools is their capacity for multidimensional analysis. In multidimensional analysis, data are processed and viewed as part of a multidimensional structure. This type of data analysis is particularly attractive to business decision makers because they tend to view business data as data that are related to other business data. To better
understand
this
view, lets
examine
how a business
data analyst
might investigate
sales
figures. In this case, he or she is probably interested in the sales figures as they relate to other business variables such as customers and time. In other words, customers and time are viewed as different dimensions of sales. Figure 15.18 illustrates how the operational (one-dimensional) view differs from the
multidimensional
view
of sales.
As you examine Figure 15.18, note that the tabular (operational) view of sales data is not well suited to decision support because the relationship between INVOICE and LINE does not provide a business perspective of the sales data. Onthe other hand, the end users view of sales data from a business perspective is more closely represented by the multidimensional view of sales than by the tabular view of separate
tables.
Note also that the
multidimensional
view allows
end users to consolidate
or aggregate
data at different levels: total sales figures by customers and by date. Finally, the multidimensional view of data allows a business data analyst easily to switch business perspectives (dimensions) from sales by customer to sales by division, by region, and so on. Multidimensional data analysis techniques are augmented by the following functions: Advanced data presentation functions: 3-D graphics, pivot tables, crosstabs, data rotation and three-dimensional cubes. Such facilities are compatible with desktop spreadsheets, statistical packages and query and report-writer packages. Advanced
data aggregation,
consolidation

functions
that
allow the data analyst
to create multiple data aggregation levels, slice-and-dice data (see section 15.5.3), and drill-down and roll-up data across different dimensions and aggregation levels. For example, aggregating data across the time dimension (by week, month, quarter and year) allows the data analyst to drill
15
down
and roll up across time
dimensions.
Advanced computational functions: Business-orientated variables (market share, period comparisons, sales margins, product margins and percentage changes), financial and accounting ratios (profitability, overhead, cost allocations and returns), and statistical and forecasting functions.
These functions

and the end user does not need to redefine
each time they are accessed.
Advanced data modelling functions: Support for what-if scenarios, variable assessment, contributions to outcome, linear programming and other modelling tools.

15.8.3 Materialised Views The data
warehouse
normally
contains
fact tables
that
store
specific
measurements
of interest
to
an
organisation. Such measurements are organised by different dimensions. The vast majority of OLAP business analysis of everyday activities is based on comparisons of data that are aggregated at different levels, such astotals by vendor, by product and by store. Since
businesses
normally
use a predefined
set of summaries
for
benchmarking,
it is reasonable
to
predefine such summaries for future use by creating summary fact tables. However, creating multiple summary fact tables that use GROUP BY queries with multiple table joins could become a resource-intensive operation. In addition, data warehouses must also be able to maintain up-to-date summarised data at all times. So, what happens with the summary fact tables after new sales data have been added to the
base fact
tables?
Under
normal
circumstances,
the
summary
fact
tables
are re-created.
This
operation requires that the SQL code be run again to re-create all summary rows, even when only a few rows needed updating. Clearly, this is a time-consuming process. To save query processing time, most database vendors haveimplemented additional functionality to manage aggregate summaries more efficiently. This new functionality resembles the standard SQL views for
which the SQL code is
predefined
in the
database.
However, the added functionality
is that the views also store the preaggregated rows, something like Microsoft SQL Server provides indexed views, while Oracle provides explains the use of materialised views. A materialised
view is a dynamic table that
contains
not only the
difference
a summary table. For example, materialised views. This section
SQL query command
to generate the
rows, but also stores the actual rows. The materialised view is created the first time the query is run and the summary rows are stored in the table. The materialised view rows are automatically updated when the base tables are updated. That way,the data warehouse administrator creates the view but will not have to update the view. The use of materialised views is totally transparent to the end user. The OLAP end user can create
OLAP queries,
using the standard
fact tables,
and the
DBMS
query optimisation

will automatically use the materialised views if those views provide better performance. The basic syntax for the materialised view is: CREATE

their smartphones and, by tracking the Magic Bands, the restaurant staff know when the visitors arrive for their reservation, can track at which table they are seated, and deliver their meals within minutes of the guests sitting down. Withthe many cameras mounted throughout the park, Disney can also capture pictures and short videos of the visitors throughout their stay in the park to produce a personalised
movie of their
vacation
experience,
which
can then
be sold to the visitors
as souvenirs.
All of this involves the capture of a constant stream of data from each band, processed in real time. Considering the tens of thousands of visitors to Disney World each day, each with their own Magic Band, the volume, velocity, and variety of the data are enormous.
16.1.1 Volume Volume, the quantity of datato be stored, is a key characteristic of Big Data. The storage capacities associated with Big Data are extremely large. Table 16.1 provides definitions for units of data storage capacity.

16.1.6 Other Characteristics Characterising
Big
Data
with the
5 Vs is fairly
standard.
However,
as the industry
matures,
other
characteristics have been put forward as being equally important. Keeping with the spirit of the 5 Vs, these additional characteristics are typically presented as additional Vs. Variability refers to the changes in the meaning of the data based on context. While variety and variability are similar terms, they mean distinctly
different
things
in
Big
Data.
Variety
is
about
differences
in
structure.
Variability
is
about
differences in meaning. Variability is especially relevant in areas such as sentiment analysis that attempt to understand the meanings of words. Sentiment analysis is a method of text analysis that attempts to determine whether a statement conveys a positive, negative, or neutral attitude about a topic. For example, consider the statements I just bought a new smartphone I love it! and The screen on my new smartphone
shattered
the first time I dropped
it
I love it!
In the first
statement,
the
presence
of
the phrase I love it might help an algorithm correctly interpret the statement as expressing a positive attitude. However, the second statement uses sarcasm to express a negative attitude, so the presence of the phrase I love it may cause the analysis to interpret the meaning of the phrase incorrectly. The final characteristic of Big Data is visualisation. Visualisation is the ability to present the data graphically
in
such
a way as to
make it
understandable.
Volumes
of data can leave
decision
makers
awash in facts but withlittle understanding of what the facts mean. Visualisation is a way of presenting the facts so that decision makers can comprehend the meaning of the information to gain insights. An argument could be madethat these additional Vs are not necessarily characteristics of Big Data; or, perhaps
more accurately,
they
are not characteristics
of only
Big Data. Visualisation
was discussed
and illustrated at length in Chapter 15 as an important tool in working with data warehouses, which are often maintained as structured data stores in RDBMS products. The important thing to remember is that these characteristics that play animportant part in working with data in the relational model are universal and also apply to Big Data. Big Data represents
a new wave in
data
management
challenges,
but it does not
mean that relational
database technology is going away. Structured data that depends on ACIDS (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability, and serialisability) transactions, as discussed in Chapter 12, will always be critical to business operations. Relational databases are still the best way of storing and managing this type of data. What has changed is that now, for the first time in decades, relational databases are not necessarily
the
best
way for
storing
and
managing

data.
Since the rise
of
the relational model, the decision for data managers when faced with new storage requirements was not whether to use a relational database, but which relational DBMS to use. Now, the decision of whether to use a relational database at all is a real question. This has led to polyglot persistencethe coexistence

infrastructure. Scaling up, as discussed, is often considered a viable option as relational databases grow. However, it has practical limits and cost considerations that makeit unfeasible for many Big Data installations. Scaling out into clusters based onlow-cost commodity servers is the dominant approach that organisations are currently pursuing for Big Data management. As a result, new technologies not based

The implementation of MapReduce complements the structure of the HDFS, which is an important reason why they work so welltogether. Just as the HDFS structure is composed of a name node and several data nodes, MapReduce uses ajob tracker (the actual name ofthe program is JobTracker) and several task
trackers
(the
programs
are named
TaskTrackers).
The job tracker
acts as a central
control
for MapReduce processing, and it normally exists on the same server that is acting as the name node. Task tracker programs reside on the data nodes. Oneimportant feature of the MapReduce framework is that the user must write the Java code for the map and reduce functions, and must specify the input and output files to be read and written for the job that is being submitted.

skills.
As the
mapper and reducer
programs
become more complex, the skill requirements increase and the time to produce the programs becomes significant. These skills are beyond the capabilities of most data users. Therefore, applications to simplify the process of creating MapReduce jobs have been developed. Two of the most popular are Hive and Pig. Hive is a data

system
that
sits

of HDFS. It is
not a relational
database,
but
it supports its own SQL-like language, called HiveQL, that mimics SQL commands to run ad hoc queries. HiveQL commands are processed by the Hive query engine into sets of MapReduce jobs. As a result, the underlying processing tends to be batch-oriented, producing jobs that are very scalable over extremely large sets of data. However, the batch nature of the jobs makes Hive a poor choice for jobs that
only require
a small subset
of data to

very
quickly.
Pigis atool for compiling a high-level scripting language, named Pig Latin, into MapReduce jobs for executing in Hadoop. In concept it is similar to Hivein that it provides a means of producing MapReduce jobs without the burden of low-level Java programming. The primary difference is that Pig Latin is a scripting
language,
which
means it is
procedural,
while
HiveQL, like
SQL, is
declarative.
Declarative
languages allow the user to specify what they want, not how to get it. This is very useful for query processing. Procedural languages require the user to specify how the data is to be manipulated. Thisis very useful for performing data transformations. As a result, Pigis often used for producing data pipeline tasks that transform data in a series of steps. This is often seen in ETL(Extraction, Transformation and Loading)
processes
as described
in
Chapter
15.
Data Ingestion Applications One challenge faced by organisations that are taking advantage of Hadoops massive data storage and data processing capabilities, is the issue of actually getting data from their existing systems into the
Hadoop
cluster.
To simplify
this
task,
applications
have
been
developed
to ingest
or gather this
data into Hadoop. Flume is a component for ingesting data into Hadoop. It is designed primarily for harvesting large sets of data from server log files, like clickstream data from Web server logs. It can be configured to import
the
data on a regular
schedule
or based
on specified
events. In
addition
to simply
bringing
the
16
data into Hadoop, Flume contains a simple query-processing component so the possibility exists of performing some transformations on the data asit is being harvested. Typically, Flume would movethe data into the HDFS, but it can also be configured to input the data directly into another component of the Hadoop ecosystem named HBase.

Document databases tend to operate on an implied assumption that a document is relatively self-contained, not a fragment of the data about a given topic. Relational databases decompose complex data in the business environment into a set of related tables. For example, data about orders
may be decomposed
into

invoice,

and
product
tables.
A document
database
would expect all of the data related to an order to be in a single order document. Therefore, each order document in an Orders collection would contain data on the customer, the order itself, and the products purchased in that order, all as a single self-contained document. Document databases do not store relationships as perceived in the relational model and generally have no support for join
operations.

Remember, in transactional systems, normalisation is used to decompose complex data into related tables to reduce redundancy and to improve the speed of rapid manipulation of small sets of data. These manipulations tend to be row-oriented, so row-oriented storage works very well. However, in queries that retrieve a small set of columns across alarge set ofrows, alarge number of disk accesses are required.
For example,
a query that
wants to retrieve
only the
city and province
of every customer
will have to access every data block that contains a customer row to retrieve that data. In Figure 16.8, that would mean accessing five data blocks to get the city and province of every customer. A column-oriented or columnar database stores the data in blocks by column instead of by row. A single customers data will be spread across several blocks, but all of the data from a single column will be in just as all

16.3.4 Graph Databases A graph database is a NoSQL database based on graph theory to store data about relationship-rich environments. Graph theory is a mathematical and computer science field that models relationships, or edges, between objects called nodes. Modelling and storing data about relationships is the focus of graph databases.
Graph theory
is a well-established
field
of study
going
back
hundreds
of years.
As a result,
creating a database model based on graph theory immediately provides a rich source for algorithms and applications that have helped graph databases gain in sophistication very quickly. Asit also happens that much of the data explosion over the past decade has involved data that is relationship-rich, graph databases
have been poised to experience

environment.
Interest in graph databases originated in the area of social networks. Social networks include a wide range of applications beyond the typical Facebook, Twitter and Instagram examples that immediately come to mind. Dating websites, knowledge management, logistics and routing, master data management, and identity and access management, are all areas that rely heavily on tracking complex

Of course,

too.
One
of the great advances of the relational model wasthat relationships are easy to maintain. Arelationship between a customer and an agent is as easy to implement in the relational model as adding aforeign key to create a common attribute, and the customer and agent rows are related by having the same

value in the foreign key will change the relationship between the rows to maintain the integrity of the data. The relational model does all of these things very well. However, whatif we want a like option so customers can like agents on our website? This would require a structural change to the database to add a new foreign key to support this second relationship.

16.3.5 Aggregate Key-value,

Awareness and column
family
databases
are aggregate
aware.
Aggregate
aware
means
that the data is collected or aggregated around a central topic or entity. For example, a blog website might organise data around individual blog posts. All data related to each blog post are aggregated into a single denormalised collection that mightinclude data about the blog post (title, content and date posted), the
poster (user
name and screen
name),
and all comments
made on the
post (comment
content and commenters user name and screen name). In a normalised, relational database, this same data might call for USER, BLOGPOST and COMMENT tables. Determining the best central entity for forming aggregates is one of the most important tasks in designing most NoSQL databases, and is determined by how the application will use the data. The aggregate-aware
database
models achieve
clustering
efficiency
by
making each
piece
of data
relatively independent. That allows a key-value pair to be stored on one node in the cluster without the DBMS needing to associate it with another key-value pair that may be on a different node on the cluster. The greater the number of nodes involved in a data operation, the greater the need for coordination and centralised control of resources. Separating independent pieces of data often called shards across nodes in the
cluster, is
what allows
NoSQL
databases
to scale
out so effectively.
Graph databases, like relational databases, are aggregate ignorant. Aggregate-ignorant models do not organise the data into collections based on a central entity. Data about each topic is stored separately and joins are used to aggregate individual pieces of data as needed. Aggregate-ignorant databases,
therefore,
tend to
be
more flexible
at allowing
applications
to
combine
data elements
in a
greater variety of ways. Graph databases specialise in highly related data, not independent pieces of data. As aresult, graph databases tend to perform best in centralised orlightly clustered environments, similar to relational databases.

16.5.2 Example of a MongoDB Query Using find( ) Once the
patron
collection
is imported,
you are ready
to
query the
MongoDB
database.
In
order to
manipulate collections, a MongoDB database uses methods. Methods are programmed functions to manipulate objects. Examples of such methods are createCollection( ), getName( ), insert( ), update( ), find( ), and so on. The find( ) method retrieves objects from a collection that match the restrictions provided.
The find( )
method
has two
parameters:
find({,query.},{,projection.})
The ,query. parameter specifies the criteria to retrieve the collection objects. The ,projection. parameter is optional and specifies which key:value pairs to return. The value with each key in the projection object is either 0(do not return), or 1(return). For example, Figure 16.11 shows the code to retrieve the _id, display the name and age for patrons that

Neo4j is a graph
database. Like relational databases, graph databases still work with concepts similar to entities and relationships. However, in relational databases, the focus is primarily on the entities. In graph databases, the focus is on the relationships.

Relationship

possible
Data with MATCH and WHERE to retrieve
data based
on the relationships
between
nodes.
As
stated earlier, focusing on relationships is the primary strength of graph databases. For example, the following command retrieves every member who has reviewed the restaurant Tofu for You and rated the restaurant a4 on taste: MATCH (m :Member) RETURN m,r, res
2 [r :REVIEWED {taste:
4}]
. (res :Restaurant
{name: Tofu for You})
Whenretrieving data based on a relationship, criteria for the direction of the relationship and any data characteristics of the relationship can be specified in the query. In this example, there are two nodes (m and res) and a relationship
that joins them (r). In this
case,
we are
matching
all nodes that
are
members,
the one node that is named Tofu for You, and all relationships that arelabelled as REVIEWED and have a property named taste equal to the value 4. You could add comparisons and logical operators using the WHEREclause, as shown in the following command, with the results shown in Figure 16.12: MATCH (m:

Data analytics, discussed in Chapter 15, is used to extract knowledge from all of these sources of data NoSQL databases, Hadoop data stores, and data warehouses to provide decision support to all organisational users.

model
Velocity
refers
to both the speed at which data is entering storage as well as the speed with which it must be processed. Variety refers to the lack of uniformity in the structure of the data being stored. As a result of Big Data, organisations are having to employ a variety of data storage solutions that include technologies, in addition to relational databases, a situation referred to as polyglot persistence.
Volume, velocity, variety, veracity and value are collectively referred to as the 5 Vs of Big Data. However, these are not the only characteristics of Big Data to which data administrators must be sensitive.
Additional
Vs that
have
been suggested
by the

industry
include
variability and visualisation. Variability is the variation in the meaning of data that can occur over time. Further, visualisation is the requirement that the data must be able to be presented in a manner that makesit comprehensible to decision makers. Most of these additional Vs are not unique to
Big Data. There are also concerns
for
data in relational
databases.
The Hadoop framework has quickly emerged as a standard for the physical storage of Big Data. The primary components of the framework include the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and MapReduce. HDFSis a coordinated technology for reliably distributing data over a very large
cluster
of commodity
servers.
MapReduce
is a complementary
process
for
distributing
data processing across distributed data. One of the key concepts for MapReduce is to movethe computations to the data instead of moving the data to the computations. MapReduce works by combining the functions of map, which distributes subtasks to the cluster servers that hold data to be processed,
and reduce,
which combines
the
map results
into
a single result
set. The Hadoop
16
framework also supports an entire ecosystem of additional tools and technologies, such as Hive, Pig and Flume, which work together to produce a complex system of Big Data processing. NoSQL is

can be retrieved at a later time for processing. As you have already learnt, the database management system (DBMS) functions as an intermediary between the data (stored in the database) and the end users applications. Before learning about the various data connectivity options, it is important to review some important fundamentals you have learnt in this book: DBMSs provide of administrative

means of an application
Modern DBMSs have the option to store data locally or distributed in multiple locations. Locally stored data resides in the same processing host as the DBMS. A distributed database stores data in multiple geographically distributed nodes with data management capability. (See Chapter 14, Distributed Databases.) The database connectivity software we discuss in this chapter supports Structured Query Language (SQL) asthe standard data manipulation language. However, depending on the type of database
model, some

manipulation languages. Database connectivity software works in a client/server architecture, in which processing tasks are split among multiple software layers. In this model, the multiplelayers exchange control messages and data. (See Chapter 14, Distributed Databases, and Appendix F, Client/Server Systems, located on the online platform of this book, for moreinformation on this topic.) To better understand

software,
we use client/server
concepts
in
which an application
is broken down into interconnected functional layers. In the case of database connectivity software, you could break down its basic functionality into three broad layers: 1 A data layer where the data resides. You can think of this layer as the actual data repository interface. This layer resides closest to the database itself and is normally provided by the DBMS vendor.
2 A middle layer that manages multiple connectivity and data transformation issues. This layer is in charge of dealing with data logic issues, data transformations, ways to talk to the database below it,
and so on. This would also include

Since OLE-DBis based on COM, the objects contain data and methods (also known as the interface). The OLE-DB modelis better understood when you divide its functionality into two types of objects: Consumers are objects (applications consumers request data by invoking interface)

provider is located
between the data provider and the consumer. The service provider requests data from the data provider, transforms the data and then provides the transformed data to the data consumer. In other words, the service provider acts like a data consumer of the data provider and as a data provider for the data consumer (end-user application). For example, a service provider could offer cursor

As a common
practice,
many vendors
provide
OLE-DB
objects
to
augment
their
ODBC
support,
effectively creating a shared object layer on top oftheir existing database connectivity (ODBC or native) through which applications can interact. The OLE-DB objects expose functionality about the database; for example, there are objects that deal with relational data, hierarchical data and flat-file text data. Additionally,
the
objects implement
specific
tasks,
such
as establishing
a connection,
executing
a query,
invoking a stored procedure, defining a transaction, or invoking an OLAP function. By using OLE-DB objects, the database vendor can choose whichfunctionality to implement in a modular way,instead of being forced to include all of the functionality all of the time. Table 17.1 shows a sample of the object-orientated classes used by OLE-DB and some of the methods (interfaces) exposed by the objects.

Data provider objects are provided by the database vendors. However, ADO.NET comes with two standard data providers: a data provider for OLE-DB data sources and a data provider for SQL Server. That way, ADO.NET can work with any previously supported database, including an ODBC database with an OLE-DB data provider. Atthe same time, ADO.NET includes a highly optimised data provider for
SQL Server.

One advantage of JDBC over other middleware is that it requires no configuration on the client side. The JDBC driver is automatically downloaded and installed as part of the Java applet download.

Web-to-database

will properly communicate with each other. (Database professionals often use the wordinteroperate to indicate that each party to the communication can respond to the communications of the other. This books use of communicate assumes interoperation.) If a Web server is to communicate successfully with an external

programming interface (API).
The Common Gateway interface (CGi) uses script files that perform specific functions based on the clients parameters that are passed to the Web server. The script file is a small program containing commands
written in a programming
language,
usually
Perl,
C11,
C# or Visual
Basic.
The script files
contents can be used to connect to the database and to retrieve data from it, using the parameters passed by the Webserver. Next, the script converts the retrieved data to HTML format and passes the data to the Web server, which sends the HTML-formatted page to the client. The
main disadvantage
of using
CGI scripts
is that
the
script
file is an external
program
that is
individually executed for each user request. That scenario decreases system performance. For example, if you have 200 concurrent requests, the script is loaded 200 different times, whichtakes significant CPU and memory resources away from the Web server. The language and method used to create the script can also affect system performance. For example, performance is degraded by using an interpreted language
or by writing the
script inefficiently.
An application programming interface (API) is a newer Web server interface standard that is more efficient and faster than a CGI script. APIs are more efficient because they areimplemented as shared code or as dynamic link libraries (DLLs). That meansthe APIis treated as part ofthe Web server program that is dynamically invoked when needed. APIs are faster
than
CGI scripts
because
the
code resides

memory and there is
no need to run
an external program for each request. Instead, the same API serves all requests. Another advantage is that an API can use a shared connection to the database instead of creating a new one every time, as is the case with CGI scripts. Although

in
short, how to create Web pages that access data in a database. As you learnt earlier in this chapter, multiple Web environments can be used to develop Web database applications. One of the most common web application development environments is known as LAMP. LAMP is
made up of the
Linux
operating
system,
the
Apache
Web server,
MySQL
database
and the
PHP
programming language (although Perl and Python can be used instead of PHP). It is often used within organisations that need an effective way of managing organisational data but do not have the time or money to invest in alarge-scale, costly web development project. LAMP allows Web developers to build efficient Web applications that are reliable and stable. Examining the components of LAMP will allow
us to see

MySQL databases can be used to store data for both simple and complex websites with varying degrees of database complexity. It allows easy retrieval and capturing of data from the Web. The programming language PHP is used to link all the components of LAMP. PHP allows the dynamic content of the website to be obtained through accessing data within the MySQL database. The main benefits of LAMP are that it is easy to programme and applications can be developed offline and then deployed onto the Web. Deployment is also relatively straightforward as PHP is easily integrated
with the
Apache
Web server
and
MySQL.
Despite the development
of the
LAMP
components
being independent, when combined they offer one ofthe best solutions for Webdatabase development. In order to illustrate the use of PHP to retrieve a data through a simple query, lets examine a PHP code example. Because this is a database book, the examples focus only on the commands used to interface
with the
database,
rather
than
the
specifics
of HTML code.
A Microsoft Access database named Orderdb is used to illustrate the Web-to-database interface examples. The Orderdb database, whose relational diagram is shown in Figure 17.10, was designed to track the purchase orders placed by users in a multidepartment company.

schema
is
an advanced
data
definition
language
that
is
used to
describe
the
structure
(elements, data types, relationship types, ranges and default values) of XML data documents. One ofthe main advantages of an XML schema is that it more closely mapsto database terminology and features. For example, an XML schema will be able to define common database types such as date, integer or decimal, minimum and maximum values, list of valid values and required elements. Using the XML schema,
a company
would be able to
validate
the
data for values
that
may be out of range, incorrect
dates, valid values, and so on. For example, a university application must be able to specify that a grade point average (GPA) value be between zero and 4.0, and it must be able to detect an invalid birth date such as13/16/1987. (There is no 16th month.) Many vendors are adopting this new standard and are supplying tools to translate DTD documents into XML Schema Definition (XSD) documents. It is widely expected
that
XML schemas
will replace
DTD as the
method to
describe
XML data.
Unlike a DTD document, which uses a unique syntax, an XML schema definition (XSD) file uses a syntax that resembles an XML document. Figure 17.16 shows the XSD document for the OrderData XML document. 17

The Extensible

specification
provides
the
mechanism to display XML data. XSL is used to define the rules by which XML data areformatted and displayed. The XSL specification is divided into two parts: Extensible Style Language Transformations (XSLT) and XSL style sheets. Extensible Style Language Transformations (XSLT) describe the general mechanism that is used to extract and process data from one XML document and enable its transformation within another document. Using XSLT, you can extract data from an XML document and convert it into a text file, an HTML
Web page
or a Web page that is formatted
for a mobile device.
What the user sees in
those cases is actually a view (or HTML representation) of the actual XML data. XSLT can also be used to extract certain elements from an XML document, such as the product codes and product 17

and XQuery
As you havejust learnt, XML is used to transfer data from a Web-based application to the database and back again. SQL/XML and XQuery are two standard querying languages that are used to retrieve data from a relational database in the XML format. XQuery 1.0 is the W3Clanguage designed for querying XML data and it is relatively
similar
to
SQL, except it
was designed
to
query semi-structured
XML data.
SQL/XML is an extension of SQL that is part of ANSI/ISO SQL 2011 standard. Thisis because only small additions have been madeto the standard SQLlanguage. These additions include: XML publishing functions that can beincorporated include: ? xmlelement(
),
which creates
an XML element
directly into the SQL query. These functions

? xmlattributes( ), which creates a set of XML attributes from the columns database table(s)

To represent the results of this query as XML, we want to show the vendor details once and then alist of the products that the vendor supplies. In SQL/XML this can be achieved using the publishing function xmlattributes(
) in
a subquery
that
retrieves
the
products
associated
with each vendor.
Subqueries
in
SQL/XML are only designed to return one row, so if multiple rows are to be returned they must be aggregated into one single value using the function xmlagg( ). Thefollowing SQL/XML query makes use of these publishing functions to display all products associated with each vendor: SELECT
XMLELEMENT(NAME XMLATTRIBUTES
VENDOR,
(V.VEND_CODE
AS VEND_CODE),
XMLFOREST(V.VEND_CONTACT XMLELEMENT(NAME

V;
An alternative approach to SQL/XML is XQuery. XQuery is alanguage that can query, store, process and exchange
structured
or semi-structured
XML
data.
XQuery is used in conjunction
with XPath,
which is
used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document. XPath is a major component of W3Cs XSLT standard. XQuery includes over 100 built-in functions including functions, for manipulating strings and comparing dates. The following is an example of an XQuery that retrieves alist of products which has been supplied by each vendor: FOR V$IN $VENDOR/ROW RETURN ,VENDOR_CODE ,VEND_NAME
5'{$V/VENDOR_CODE}'. .{ STRING ($V/ VENDOR_CONTACT)},/VEND_NAME.

As the table shows, the top perceived benefit of cloud computing is the lower cost of entry. Atthe same time, the chief concern of cloud computing is data security and privacy, particularly in companies that deal
with sensitive
data and are subject
to high levels
of regulation
and compliance.9
This concern leads
to the perception that cloud services are mainly implemented in small to medium-sized companies where the risk of service loss is minimal. In fact, some companies that are subject to strict data security regulations tend to favour private clouds rather than public ones.10 One of the biggest growth segments in cloud services is mobile computing.
