Course detail - Topics Develop simple three tier application Database (back-end) HTML & Java script (front-end) Connecting these two together
What does it take to success • Hard working, well-organization, pay attention to detail • Participate in the class discussion • Practice, practice, practice!!!
Introduction to Database • Why are databases important? • How do databases represent information? • Who works with databases? • How do databases support the World Wide Web? • What database concepts and terms do you need to know?
Why Are Databases Important? • Importance to business • Walmart: Records of retail business • Size of warehouses • Size of inventory • Average sales per $ of inventory • Amazon.com: Records of customers • Importance to Web • Records of interactions/transactions • Example of auction site, customers’s preferences/behaviors
Importance of Databases to Economy • Expanding use of databases in retail sales • Walmart, retail sales information tracking • Examples of analyses • Sales of items • Comparisons between daily totals of items sold and items in inventory; seasonal variations in sales of specific and similar items; relative sales of similar items with different features • Market-basket collections (all items in a single purchase) • Average and variation in total purchase amount/number & price of items. • Correlation between sales of items in a single purchase • Customer analysis • Behavior of average customer • Preferences of individual customers
How Do Databases Represent Information? • The physical database: • a collection of files containing the data content • The schema: • a specification of the physical database’s information content and logical structure • The database engine: • software that lets people access and modify the database contents • The data definition and manipulation languages: • programming languages, such as Java or SQL (Structured Query Language), that letsoftware developers define the schema and access the database
How Do Databases Represent Information? • Relational database management system (RDBMS) • Tables of data • Schema • Name of table • Names and types of attributes • Contents • Row is a fact • Attribute value is a characteristic
Practice • Open Microsoft Access • Name your database as Example • Create a new table “By Design View” named Department with 2 fields: • Dept: text (3 characters) • Manager: text (11 characters) • Description: text (100 characters)
Who Works with Database Systems? • Database designers • Applications developers • Web-application developers • Web-site designers • Database administrators
How Do Databases Support the World Wide Web? • Maintain information that is published in the site • Track the ways in which site visitors use that information • Track the number of site visitors and customers • Store information collected from input forms such as requests for customer addresses • Store the structure and content of Web pages
Information Systems • Three separate types of functionality: • Data Management • Application logic • Presentation
Single-tier architecture • All functionality combined into a single tier (e.g mainframe where users access through dumb terminal or stand-alone machine where there is no server) • Pros: easy maintenance and administration • Cons: missing GUI, single point failure
Client-server architecture • Thin client • Client implements only the GUI • Server implements business logic and data management • Pros: easy maintenance and implementation • Cons:can’t separate between business logic and data management
Client-server architecture • Thick client • Client implements both GUI and business logic • Server implements data management • Cons: no central place to update the business logic • Security: trust clients • Scalability: problems with 100s of clients
Three tier architecture Client program Presentation tier Application server Middle tier Data management tier Database server
Three tier architecture • Pros: • Heterogeneous systems • Thin clients • Integrated data access • Scalability • Development: • Code for business logic is centralized • Interaction between tiers through well-defined APIs.
Timeline for Database Systems Developments • before 1960 transition from punched card and tape • 1960s, from file management to databases • 1970s, CODASYL and Relational Model • Codd (IBM) Relational Model • Chen introduced Entity Relationship Model • Query languages developed (SQL) • 1980s, Client/Server DBs, Oracle, DB2 • 1990s, web-based information delivery • Trends: expert DBs, object DBs, distributed DBs • 2000s, Enhancing database technology for Web storage and access • Bioinformatics: genetic and protein information, medical records • Using the Web as a database
