SQL Set Operators

SQL Set Operators   Traditional Set Operators: Union Compatibility:     Requirement for the traditional set operators.    Strong requirement.                         - Same number of columns.                         - Each corresponding column is compatible.                         - Positional correspondence.     Apply to similar tables by removing columns first. SQL UNION Example:           Example 1: Retrieve basic data about all university people.                     SELECT FacNo AS PerNo, FacFirstName                                      ...

Database Three Level Architecture

 

Database Three Level Architecture

Objectives of Three-Level Architecture:

  • All users  should be able to access same data but have a different customized view. 
  • A user’s view is immune to changes made in other views Users should not need to know physical database storage details. 
  • DBA should be able to change database storage structures without affecting the user’s view. 
  • Internal structure of database should be un affected by changes to physical aspects of storage.
  • DBA should be able to change conceptual structure of database without affecting all users

ANSI-SPARC Three-Level Architecture:



External Level:

  • Users’ view of the database
  • Describes that part of database that is relevant to a particular user.
  • Different views may have different representation of same data (e.g. different date formats, age derived from DOB etc.)

Conceptual Level:

  • Community view of the database.
  • Describes what data is stored in the database and the relationships among the data. 
  • Along with any constraints on data.
  • Independent of any storage considerations.


Internal Level:

  • The physical representation of the database on the computer.
  • describes how the data is stored in the database.
  • physical implementation of the database to achieve optimal runtime performance and storage space utilization.
  • Data structures and file organizations used to store data on storage devices. 
  • Interfaces with the operating system access methods (file management techniques for storing and retrieving data records) to place the data on the storage devices, build the indexes, retrieve the data, and so on.

Query Formulation

Query Formulation   Query Formulation Process: Critical Questions: What tables?           - Columns in result.          - Conditions to test (including join conditions). How to combine the tables?           - Usually join of PK to FK. More complex ways to combine Individual rows or groups of rows?           - Aggregate functions in result.          - Conditions with aggregate functions. University Database Diagram: Summarization and Joins 1:      Example 1: List the number of students enrolled in each 2017 course offering showing the offer number and number of students in the result.                SELECT Offering.OfferNo,                                     COUNT (*) AS NumSt...

Sorting Operations

  Kinds Of Sorting Operations ·          Bubble Sort Bubble sort is a type of sorting. It is used for sorting 'n' (number of items) elements. It compares all the elements one by one and sorts them based on their values. The above diagram represents how bubble sort actually works. This sort takes O (n 2 ) time. It starts with the first two elements and sorts them in ascending order. Bubble sort starts with first two elements. It compares the element to check which one is greater.   ·          Insertion Sort Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm. This sorting method sorts the array by shifting elements one by one. It builds the final sorted array one item at a time. Insertion sort has one of the simplest implementation. This sort is efficient for smaller data sets but it is insufficient for larger lists. It has le...
