The discussion class

• We usually try to• Go over material covered in the lecture very quickly• Answer your questions• Do more exercises• Go over the previous homework• Discuss projects• …

Today’s plan

• Introduction to DBMSs• Relational Algebra• Project 1

IntroductionChapter 1

Let’s start with a question

• How would you store the information of the books you have in your bookshelf at home?

• You can use a simple text file, or spreadsheet in your file system, and it’s going to work perfectly

• What if you need to store the information of all books in all the libraries in UCLA?

• Why it’s not wise to use the same approach?

Drawbacks of using file systems to store data

• Data redundancy and inconsistency• Multiple file formats, duplication of information in different files

• Difficulty in accessing data • Need to write a new program to carry out each new task

• Data isolation - multiple files and formats• Integrity problems

• Integrity constraints (e.g., account balance > 0) become “buried” in program code rather than being stated explicitly

• Hard to add new constraints or change existing ones

Drawbacks of using file systems (cont.)

• Atomicity of updates• Failures may leave database in an inconsistent state with partial updates

carried out• Example: Transfer of funds from one account to another should either

complete or not happen at all

• Concurrent access by multiple users• Concurrent access needed for performance• Uncontrolled concurrent accesses can lead to inconsistencies

• Example: Two people reading a balance (say 100) and updating it by withdrawing money (say 50 each) at the same time

• Security problems• Hard to provide user access to some, but not all, data

Solution?

• We need a system to support all the previous needs• That system is called Database Management System (DBMS)

Database management system (DBMS)

• DBMS contains information about a particular enterprise• Collection of interrelated data• Set of programs to access the data • An environment that is both convenient and efficient to use

• Database Applications:• Banking: transactions• Airlines: reservations, schedules• Universities: registration, grades• Sales: customers, products, purchases• Online retailers: order tracking, customized recommendations• Manufacturing: production, inventory, orders, supply chain• Human resources: employee records, salaries, tax deductions

• Databases touch all aspects of our lives

Instances and schemas

• Similar to types and variables in programming languages• Schema – the logical structure of the database

• Example: The database consists of information about a set of customers and accounts and the relationship between them

• Analogous to type information of a variable in a program• Instance – the actual content of the database at a particular point in time

• Analogous to the value of a variable

Schema for LibBook system

• Book (BID, BTitle, BPrice, BPubDate, …)• Library (LID, LName, LDept, …)• BoLi(BID, LID, Date, Number, …)• …

Introduction to the Relational Algebra

Relation schema and instance

• A1, A2, …, An are attributes• R = (A1, A2, …, An ) is a relation schema

Example:

instructor = (ID, name, dept_name, salary)

• Formally, given sets D1, D2, …., Dn, a relation r is a subset of

D1 x D2 x … x Dn

• One (set) of the attributes should be key (identifier)

• Order of tuples is irrelevant

Models = Relations (almost)

Attribute = ColumnTuple = RowDomain = Allowed values for each columnKey = Row’s Identifier in the tableCardinality = Number of rowsDegree = Number of columns

• So from now on, we use table and relation interchangeably. • Although tables are ordered and can have duplicate items.

Database

• A database consists of multiple relations (tables)

• Information about an enterprise is broken up into parts

instructor student advisor

• Bad design: univ (instructor -ID, name, dept_name, salary, student_Id, ..)results in

• repetition of information (e.g., two students have the same instructor)

• the need for null values (e.g., represent an student with no advisor)

• Normalization theory (Chapter 7) deals with how to design “good” relational schemas

Relational query languages

• Now that we have a collection of relations as a relational database, we need a language to access (query) our database:

• Procedural vs non-procedural, or declarative• Relational operators

Selection

• Select rows• Example: σbirth_year < 1950(R)

Username Email Birth Year

meep [email protected] 1920

notmeep [email protected] 1920

beep [email protected] 1980

beepboop [email protected] 1985





Selection

• Select rows• Example: σbirth_year < 1950(R)










Projection

• Select columns• Example: πusername, email(R)










Projection

• Select columns• Example: πusername, email(R)










Selection & Projection

• What’s the difference between the following:– σbirth_year < 1950(πusername, email(R))– πusername, email(σbirth_year < 1950(R))






















































Union

• Set union between two relations with same fields

• Example: σbirth_year < 1950(R) U σbirth_year%2==0(R)










Union

• Set union between two relations with same fields• Example: σbirth_year < 1950(R) U σbirth_year%2==0(R)








⋃






Union

• Set union between two relations with same fields

• Example: σbirth_year < 1950(R) U σbirth_year%2==0(R)








Intersection

• Set intersection between two relations with same fields

• Example: σbirth_year < 1950(R) σ⋂ birth_year%2==0(R)










Intersection


• Example: σbirth_year < 1950(R) σ⋂ birth_year%2==0(R)Username Email Birth Year







⋂






Intersection


• Example: σbirth_year < 1950(R) σ⋂ birth_year%2==0(R)






Set Difference

• A – B takes out all rows in B from A.• Example: σbirth_year%2==0(R) - σbirth_year < 1950(R)










Set Difference









-






Set Difference





Cross product

• A x B takes all rows from A and combines them with all rows from B.

• Example: πusername(R) x πbirth_year(R)










Cross product


• Example: πusername(R) x πbirth_year(R)

Join

• A B joins A and B based on some column.⋈– Natural join: Default, joins on matching

columns.– Can also specify a particular join predicate.

• Example: πusername,email(R) π⋈ username,birth_year(R)

Username Email

meep [email protected]

notmeep [email protected]

Username Email Birth_Year





Division● A / B projects the columns from A that are

not in B, while selecting elements of A that fully intersect with B.

● Think of it as opposite of cross-product!● Example: who takes both cs186 and cs162?

Person Class

meep cs186

meep cs162

moop cs186

moop cs61

beep cs186

Division

● Can be expressed with the following equation:

● Things to eliminate: Things that are in the cross product of πx(A) and B that are NOT in A.

● Subtract the left hand side (projection) of those candidates from πx(A).

πx(A) - πx((πx(A) x B) - A)

Division

• Since division operator is not implemented in SQL, you need to use more complex SQL query to present.

• But the basic concept is if you see a query expressed with “All”, you may need to consider about using division.

• “Which students are registered on ALL the courses given by Soini?” • “Which boys are registered on those courses that are taken by ALL t

he girls?”

Exercise

• Consider these relations in database. Primary key attributes are underlined. • employee ( eid, street, city)• works ( eid, c-name, salary)• company ( cid, c-name, city)• manager ( pid, mgrid)• Assume the companies may be located in several cities. Find all companies

located in every city in which U-Bank is located. • Find the eids and cities of residence of all employees who work for U-Bank. • Find the eid, streets, and cities of residence of all employees who work for U-

Bank and earn more than $10,000 per annum.• Find the eids of all employees in this database who live in the same city as the

company for which they work.• Assume the companies may be located in several cities. Find all companies

located in every city in which U-Bank is located.

Project 1A

Hint for project 1A

preg_match<html><body><? preg_match("/^(http:\/\/)?([^\/]+)/i", "http://www.php.net/index.html", $matches); print $host = $matches[0]."<BR>"; print $host = $matches[1]."<BR>"; print $host = $matches[2]."<BR>"; // get last two segments of host name preg_match("/[^\.\/]+\.[^\.\/]+$/","http://www.php.net",$matches); echo "domain name is: ".$matches[0]."\n"; ?> </body></html>

matches

• If matches is provided, then it is filled with the results of search. • $matches[0] will contain the text that matched the full pattern, • $matches[1] will have the text that matched the first captured

parenthesized subpattern, and so on.
