Installing SQL Server 2005

A Simplified Installation Process

Starting from setup.exe Click buttons other than Cancel in the Wizard (using most of the default setup)
Select components to install:
SQL Server Database Services Workstation components, books online and development tools

User Advanced option to setup installation path and include sample databases Create a default instance Use the built-in System account: Local System User Windows Authentication Mode
7

Create Database Objects with Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

Create A Database
Start the Management Studio Connect to your SQL Server Right-click the Databases folder in the console tree, choose New Database from the context menu Fill in the boxes in the database properties sheet Click OK when you are finished.
9

10

Create A Table
Open Management Studio, drill down to the DB354 database, and expand it Right-click on Tables and select New Table Type the column name and data type, and setup column properties (in the window at the bottom of the screen) Click on the Save button, enter a name for the table and click OK
11

12

Create A Constraint
Open Management Studio and drill down to target table and expand it Right-click on Constraints and select New Constraint In the Check Constraint dialog box type the constraint expression Click OK to create the constraint

13

14

Create Views
Open Management Studio and drill down to the target database Expand the database and locate View Right-click on View and select New View In Tables page, select target table and click Add Edit the view definition in the appearing GUI Click the Save button Name the view and save it

15

16

User Management

Security Modes
Windows Authentication Mode
The user logs on to a Windows domain; the user name and password are verified by Windows The user then opens a trusted connection with SQL Server Since this is a trusted connection, SQL does not need to verify the user password

Mixed Mode (SQL Server and Windows)

The user logs on to their network, Windows or otherwise Next, the user opens a non-trusted connection to SQL Server using a separate user name and password The user name and password should be verified by SQL Server
18

Create a standard login

Open Management Studio and expand your server Expand Security and then click Logins Right-click Logins and select New Login from the context menu In the Logic name box, type Cmpt354 Select SQL Server Authentication mode In the Password text box, type a complex string and confirm it Uncheck User must change password at next login Under Default database, select your target database as the default database Click the OK button
19

20

Creating Database User Accounts

Open Management Studio and expand your server Expand Databases by clicking the plus sign next to the icon Expand the target database, then expand Security Right-click the Users icon and from the context menu, select New User Input a User name Click the button at the right of Login name box, then browse all the available names Select the target name (Cmpt354, the one you just created) Click OK
21

22

Granting, Revoking, and Denying Permissions

Open Management Studio, expand your server and Databases, then select the target database Expand the database, then expand Security and Users Double-click the target user, and select the Securables page from the dialog window In Securables section, click Add, and in the Add Objects window click OK In the Select Objects window, click Object Types, then check Tables and click OK Browse available table and check the target table, then click OK If necessary, define more detailed permissions on the target table Click OK to return to Enterprise Manager.

23

24

Query the Database

Query Analyzer
Different than SQL Server 2000, the Query Analyzer is integrated in Management Studio From the Management Studio menu, select File New Query with Current Connection In the appearing page, enter the following:
SELECT * FROM TargetDatabase..TableName

Click Execute button or press Ctrl+E or F5 The query will be executed and gives you results OR From the Available Databases listbox, select the target database Run the query: SELECT * FROM TableName You will get the same result set
26

27

Save the Query as a Script File

Click File Select Save SQLQuery1.sql as Type in the file name you want Click Save

28

How to Use T-SQL

Creating a Database
CREATE DATABASE DB354 ON PRIMARY (NAME = 'DB354Data', FILENAME = 'C:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\DB354Data.MDF', SIZE = 4, MAXSIZE = 10, FILEGROWTH = 10%) LOG ON (NAME = 'DB354Log', FILENAME = 'C:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\DB354Log.LDF', SIZE = 1, MAXSIZE = 4, FILEGROWTH = 10%)

Dropping databases
DROP DATABASE DB354
29

How to Use T-SQL (cont.)

Create a table with a constraint
CREATE TABLE Table354 ( Column1 int NULL, Column2 char(10) Null, CONSTRAINT chk_id CHECK (Column1 BETWEEN 0 and 100) )

30

How to Use T-SQL (cont.)

Create a view
USE DB354 CREATE VIEW view354 ON dbo.Table354 AS SELECT Column1 FROM Table354

Execute queries
USE DB354 SELECT * FROM Table354 WHERE Column1>50

31

Importing and Exporting Your Data

Exporting A Table
From Management Studio, locate the target database and select it Right-click on the database, then select Tasks Export Data from the context menu Use the Wizard to setup data source, server name, authentication mode, and database (use the default ones), then Next Setup data destination, such as a flat file (file path and name need to be specified), then Next to copy data from a table Choose a table and use default delimiter option Execute immediately
33

Importing a Table
Use Import Data Wizard Specify data source first Then specify data destination
The table to which data is imported needs to be specified

34

Database Backups and Restorations

Why Backups?
Data can be corrupted by a variety of problems:
Failure of the hard disk drive Failure of the hard disk controller Motherboard failure Power outage or spike Virus attack Accidental change or deletion of data Malicious change or deletion of data
37

SQL Database Backup Modes

Three Recovery Model
Full recovery: everything gets logged in the database Bulk-logged recovery: Inserts, updates, and deletes get logged, but bulk copies, SELECT INTO statements, and index creations do not Simple recovery (default mode) : nothing is held in the transaction log

You can set the mode by using the Options tab of the database property sheet
38

Backup Choices
Full database backups: The entire database is backed up Transaction log backups: Add all the changes in the transaction log to your full database backups Differential database backups: Back up only data that has changed since the last full backup
For example, if a persons bank account changed 10 times in one day, the transaction log backup would contain all 10 changes but the differential backup would contain just the final amount

Filegroup backups: Allow you to back up different pieces of the database, based on the various files that make up the database
39

Backing Up Databases
Highlight the target database. Open the Backup dialog box by right-clicking and choosing Tasks Back Up User default setup to do a simple backup Click OK to start the backup After the backup completes, click OK on the Confirmation screen to close the Backup dialog box

40

Restoring a Full Database

Restore the target database by right-clicking it and choosing Tasks Restore Database Select the proper backups Go to the Options tab. Make sure that the recovery completion state is set to Leave Database Nonoperational so you can restore the transaction log later Click OK to start the restoration. Click OK at the Restoration Confirmation screen

41

Programming with SQL Server

Connecting to SQL Server with C# Make sure that SQL Server Browser service is running

42

Programming with SQL Server

Code Framework:
// Specify reference. using System.Data; using System.Data.SqlClient; // Define SQL Server connection. SqlConnection sqlConn = null; // Specify connection parameters. Note that we are connecting to the local server with Window authentication mode. sqlConn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=your-machine-name;Initial Catalog=DB354;Integrated Security=True"); // Open connection. sqlConn.Open(); // Define command object. SqlCommand cmd = sqlConn.CreateCommand(); // Compose SQL command. String strCommand = "insert into users (user_name) values ('some name')"; // Execute SQL command. if(sqlConn != null) { try { cmd.CommandText = strCommand; cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); } catch(Exception) { return; } } // Close connection. if(sqlConn != null) { sqlConn.Close(); sqlConn = null; }
