Presentation Transcript

  1. Class #2: Introduction to MySQL (Continued) • Where clause (continued) • Aggregate Functions • Creating users • Backing up your database • Indexes (if time) • Importing large datasets (if time) • Make sure you receive • Class notes • Exercise handout

  2. Where Clause • How do you think we can limit the results from the last query to just gene “TNFRSF18”? • Remember the query is: • SELECT gene.name, organism.species • FROM gene, organism • WHERE gene.organism_id=organism.organism_id;

  3. Where Clause (Continued) • SELECT gene.name, organism.species • FROM gene, organism • WHERE gene.organism_id=organism.organism_id • AND gene.name=‘TNFRSF18’;

  4. Aggregate Functions • What if we want to know how many genes we have? • SELECT count(gene_id) FROM gene; • What if we want to count the number of records for each gene name? • SELECT name, COUNT(gene_id) • FROM gene • GROUP BY name;

  5. Having Clause • What if we want to know how many genes (by name) have more than one record in our gene table? • SELECT name, • COUNT(gene_id) AS copies • FROM gene • GROUP BY name • HAVING copies>1; • Here we restricted the results based on properties of the group.

  6. Backing Up your Database • From the command line (not in MySQL): mysqldump -uusername -p databasename > filename.sql • Example: mysqldump -uroot trii > triibackup.sql (our database has no password) • filename.sql will contain all of the SQL statements necessary to first create all the tables in your database and then repopulate them.

  7. Restoring your Database • From the command line: • mysql -uusername -ppassworddatabasename < filename.sql • Example: • mysql -uroot trii < triibackup.sql • Notice you must have already recreated the database in MySQL • CREATE DATABASE trii;

  8. Inserting Very Large Datasets into your Database • You must have a tab-delimited text file (each field in a row is separated with a tab) that contains only the rows from one table. • LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE ‘filename’ • INTO TABLE tablename (col1name, col2name,...);

  9. Inserting Very Large Datasets into your Database (Continued) • You can create a file like this with: • SELECT col1name, col2name FROM • tablename INTO OUTFILE ‘filename’; • Example: • SELECT * FROM organism INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/organism.txt';

  10. Creating Users/Granting Privileges GRANT ALL ON trii.* TO ‘guest’@’localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘guestpwd’; • ALL - privilege type • trii.* - all tables in trii database • guest - username • localhost - machine user can connect from • guestpwd - password FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

  11. Loading Data from MS Excel • We will discuss 2 ways to do this • In both cases you should first save your Excel spreadsheet as a tab-delimited text file. • Go to: File > Save As

  12. Check the File!!! • Excel might have saved the end line characters incorrectly. Check in vi. If the file has a bunch of “^M” characters we have to replace them. • At the command prompt: • >vi gene.txt • In vi: • :0,$s/^M/^M/g • OR • At the command prompt: • >perl -pi -e ‘s/^M/\n/g’ gene.txt • To get the ^M: hold control + v

  13. Loading Data from MS Excel Option 1: • If your spreadsheet corresponds to a table in your database exactly, then you can save the file as a tab-delimited text file in Excel and then use the SQL command “LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE…” from before. • LOAD DATA INFILE ‘gene.txt’ • INTO TABLE gene (ensembl_gene_id, organism_id, name, locuslink, chromosome, chromo_start, chromo_end, description);

  14. Loading Data from MS Excel Option 2: • Option 2 (most common) • If you need to put some Excel columns into one table and some into another use Perl to read in your tab-delimited text file, process your data, and insert it into the database. • Remember Perl is great at parsing files!

  15. Indexes • Add an index on a column (or columns) that will be queried frequently (with an exact match query). If something is a primary key it is automatically indexed. • To find out what indexes exist on a table: • SHOW INDEX FROM tablename;

  16. Indexes • Create an index on 1 column: • CREATE INDEX indexname ON tablename (columnname); • This will make searches on borrower_id fast: • CREATE INDEX borrower_index ON on_loan (borrower_id);

  17. Indexes • Create an index on 2 columns: • CREATE INDEX indexname ON tablename (column1name, column2name); • This will make queries on book_id fast, as well as queries on book_id and copy_id but NOT copy_id alone: • CREATE INDEX book_index ON on_loan (book_id, copy_id);
