Database Terminology • Database • Organized collection of related information stored in a file on a disk • Relational database stores information in tables composed of columns and rows • Table is a group of related records • Each row represents a record • Each column represents a row • Primary key is a field that uniquely identities a record in a table • Foreign key is a field in one table used as the primary key in another table • Tables are related by a common field or fields Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded

ADO.NET • A Connection object is used to establish a temporary connection to a database • Requests for information are then submitted using a DataAdapter object • The DataAdapter uses a provider which translates the request into a language the database understands • A DataSet stores a copy of the records and fields requested in a internal memory location Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded

SQL • Structured Query Language (SQL) • A set of commands that allows you to access and manipulate the data stored in many database management systems on computers of all sizes • SELECT statement allow you to specify which fields and records you want to view • WHERE clause limits records to be selected • ORDER BY clause sorts record display order Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded

Creating a DataSet (continued) Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded
Creating a DataSet (continued) • XML (Extensible Markup Language) • XML schema definition file defines the tables and fields that make up the data set • Schema file is automatically generated by VB.NET • Contents of file may be viewed in IDE • Contents of dataset can be preview by right clicking the DataAdapter object in the component tray and clicking Preview Data Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded

Using the Fill Method • Method of the DataAdapter object • Fills a dataset with data while the application is running Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded
Binding the Dataset Object to a DataGrid Control • Connecting a DataSet object to a control is called “binding” • Connected controls are referred to as “bound controls” Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded

Programming Example – Cartwright Industries Application • Carl Simons, the sales manager at Cartwright Industries, records the item number, name, and price of each product the company sells in a database named Items.mdb • The database is contained in the VbDotNet\Chap12\Databases folder. • Mr. Simons wants an application that the sales clerks can use to enter an item number and then display the item’s price Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded
Programming Example – Cartwright Industries Application (continued) • Items.mdb database opened in Microsoft Access. Database contains one table tblItems Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded

Summary • Databases created by Microsoft Access are relational databases: • Can contain one or more tables • Most tables contain a primary key that uniquely identifies each record • Data in relational database can be displayed in any order, and you can control the amount of information you want to view • Visual Basic .NET uses a technology called ADO.NET to access the data stored in a database Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded
Summary (continued) • Connection between a database and an application that uses ADO.NET is only temporary • To access data stored in a database, first create and configure a DataAdapter object, which is the link between the application and the Connection object • Use an OleDbDataAdapter object and an OleDbConnection object in applications that access Microsoft Access databases Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Reloaded
