The Purpose of this Lab is to get familiar with the File System & File Handling
Theory
File System
A file system is the methods and data structures that an operating system uses to keep track of files on a
disk or partition; that is, the way the files are organized on the disk. The word is also used to refer to a
partition or disk that is used to store the files or the type of the file system. Thus, one might say ``I have
two file systems'' meaning one has two partitions on which one stores files, or that one is using the
``extended file system'', meaning the type of the file system.
The difference between a disk or partition and the file system it contains is important. A few programs
(including, reasonably enough, programs that create file systems) operate directly on the raw sectors of a
disk or partition; if there is an existing file system there it will be destroyed or seriously corrupted. Most
programs operate on a file system, and therefore won't work on a partition that doesn't contain one (or that
contains one of the wrong type).
Before a partition or disk can be used as a file system, it needs to be initialized, and the bookkeeping data
structures need to be written to the disk. This process is called making a file system.
Block Size
The block size specifies size that the file system will use to read and write data. Larger block sizes will
help improve disk I/O performance when using large files, such as databases. This happens because the
disk can read or write data for a longer period of time before having to search for the next block.
On the downside, if you are going to have a lot of smaller files on that file system, like the /etc, there the
potential for a lot of wasted disk space.
For example, if you set your block size to 4096, or 4K, and you create a file that is 256 bytes in size, it
will still consume 4K of space on your hard drive. For one file that may seem trivial, but when your file
system contains hundreds or thousands of files, this can add up.
Block size can also effect the maximum supported file size on some file systems. This is because many
modern file system are limited not by block size or file size, but by the number of blocks. Therefore you
would be using a "block size * max # of blocks = max block size" formula.

The Purpose of this Lab is to get familiar with the Relational DBMS Architecture & its Concepts
Theory
RDBMS: Overview
• Entities: Things in the real world that you store information about in a database.
• Tables typically store data representing one type of entity.
• Example:
– A bank database has a customer table specifically for customer information.
– The customer table can contain entities/columns such as the customer name,
account number, and contact information.
• Relationships: Links between entities that have something to do with each other.
• Example:
– The bank customer name has a relationship to the customer account number and
contact information.
There can also be relationships between separate tables (for example, customer to accounts).
You cannot literally store things in a database, nor any relationships they might have. What you can store
in a database is data. Storing information about things such as customers, bank accounts and currencies in
our database, means that you store data in your database that represents these real-world things.
In relational databases, one table is typically used to store data that represents entities of one particular
kind. As in the bank example, the customers table is used to store items of data, each of which represents
exactly one entity of the "customer" kind.
Relationship Categories
Relationships can be categorized according to how many entities can possibly be involved at either end of
the relationship.
In the slide example of a one-to-one relationship, a car has one engine, and the engine can belong to only
one car. There is a one-to-one relationship between the car and the engine. Often these types of
relationships are put in the same table, but not always.
In the slide example of a one-to-many relationship, an individual customer of a bank can have more than
one account. Note that this allows for customers to have zero, one, or more bank accounts. The word
many refer to the maximum number of possible bank accounts for each customer. Alternatively, a bank
account is tied to a single customer only. That is why this is a one-to-many relationship.
There is a many-to-many relationship between students and courses. A student can attend more than one
course and a course can be attended by many students.
Row-Column Relationship
• Rows are a collection of values that describe an entity (such as a bank account).
• Columns are a collection of similar data among rows (such as customer surnames). Each column
has a name and a data type.
• The intersection of row and column contains individual data items called values. Values are
always atomic, that is, each position in a table may contain only one datum (piece of data). If you
have ever used a spreadsheet, you have used a table of data.
It is common to present data in a simple two-dimensional table form. The relational model stipulates that
a relation must have unique tuples—no two entities can be identical or you would not be able to
distinguish one from the other. There must be some combination of columns (possibly, all columns)
called a key, whose values uniquely identify each tuple. Most RDBMSs are less strict. Virtually all of
them allow a table to contain duplicate rows, and allow a table to exist without a key.
Note: In SQL, tables are not required to have primary keys. In other words, the requirement of the
relational model is not enforced in SQL. However, it is enforced as soon as a primary key is added to the
table. A detailed discussion of primary keys, and how to create them, is provided later in the course.

The Purpose of this Lab is to introduce Entity Relationship Diagram & its Notations
Theory
Notations
Entities Notation
An entity is represented by a
Entity rectangle which contains the
entity’s name.
Relationship Notation
ER Model is represented by means of an ER diagram. Any object, for example, entities, attributes of an
entity, relationship sets, and attributes of relationship sets, can be represented with the help of an ER
diagram.
Entity
Entities are represented by means of rectangles. Rectangles are named with the entity set they represent.
Attributes
Attributes are the properties of entities. Attributes are represented by means of ellipses. Every ellipse
represents one attribute and is directly connected to its entity (rectangle).
If the attributes are composite, they are further divided in a tree like structure. Every node is then
connected to its attribute. That is, composite attributes are represented by ellipses that are connected with
an ellipse.
Multivalued attributes are depicted by double ellipse.
Derived attributes are depicted by dashed ellipse.
Relationship
Relationships are represented by diamond-shaped box. Name of the relationship is written inside the
diamond-box. All the entities (rectangles) participating in a relationship, are connected to it by a line.
One-to-one − when only one instance of an entity is associated with the relationship, it is marked
as '1:1'. The following image reflects that only one instance of each entity should be associated
with the relationship. It depicts one-to-one relationship.
One-to-many − When more than one instance of an entity is associated with a relationship, it is
marked as '1:N'. The following image reflects that only one instance of entity on the left and
more than one instance of an entity on the right can be associated with the relationship. It depicts
one-to-many relationship.
Many-to-one − when more than one instance of entity is associated with the relationship, it is
marked as 'N:1'. The following image reflects that more than one instance of an entity on the left
and only one instance of an entity on the right can be associated with the relationship. It depicts
many-to-one relationship.
Many-to-many − The following image reflects that more than one instance of an entity on the
left and more than one instance of an entity on the right can be associated with the relationship.
It depicts many-to-many relationship.
Participation Constraints
Total Participation − Each entity is involved in the relationship. Total participation is
represented by double lines.
Partial participation − Not all entities are involved in the relationship. Partial participation is
represented by single lines.

Exercise
The Prescriptions-R-X chain of pharmacies has offered to give you a free lifetime supply of medicine if
you design its database. Given the rising cost of health care, you agree. Here’s the information that you
gather:
Patients are identified by an SSN, and their names, addresses, and ages must be recorded.
Doctors are identified by an SSN. For each doctor, the name, specialty, and years of experience
must be recorded.
Each pharmaceutical company is identified by name and has a phone number.
For each drug, the trade name and formula must be recorded. Each drug is sold by a given
pharmaceutical company, and the trade name identifies a drug uniquely from among the products
of that company. If a pharmaceutical company is deleted, you need not keep track of its products
any longer.
Each pharmacy has a name, address, and phone number.
Every patient has a primary physician. Every doctor has at least one patient.
Each pharmacy sells several drugs and has a price for each. A drug could be sold at several
pharmacies, and the price could vary from one pharmacy to another.
Doctors prescribe drugs for patients. A doctor could prescribe one or more drugs for several
patients, and a patient could obtain prescriptions from several doctors.
Each prescription has a date and a quantity associated with it. You can assume that, if a doctor
prescribes the same drug for the same patient more than once, only the last such prescription
needs to be stored.
Pharmaceutical companies have long-term contracts with pharmacies. A pharmaceutical company
can contract with several pharmacies, and a pharmacy can contract with several pharmaceutical
companies. For each contract, you have to store a start date, an end date, and the text of the
contract.
Pharmacies appoint a supervisor for each contract. There must always be a supervisor for each
contract, but the contract supervisor can change over the lifetime of the contract.
Draw an ER diagram that captures the preceding information. Identify any constraints not captured by the
ER diagram.
How would your design change if each drug must be sold at a fixed price by all pharmacies?
How would your design change if the design requirements change as follows: If a doctor prescribes the
same drug for the same patient more than once, several such prescriptions may have to be stored?

Introduction to DDL Experiment
05
Objective
The Purpose of this Lab is to introduce the DDL (Data Definition Language) which includes Create,
Drop, and Alter & Truncate Statements
Theory
Data Definition Language: SQL Statements
The DDL SQL statements are used to define database and table data. The statements shown in the slide
are followed by options to specify data operations.
Creating a Database
When your database design is complete, create the actual database by using the MySQL statement
CREATE DATABASE. It is important for you to name the database according to its purpose. After the
database is created, you can add the tables.
You can add the IF NOT EXISTS option statement. An error occurs if the database exists and you did
not specify IF NOT EXISTS.
For more information about creating a database, see the MySQL Reference Manual at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/create-database.html.
MySQL Naming Conventions
Table names can be (or contain) reserved words as long as the name is quoted (such as a table named
'my_table' or '$'), but this practice is discouraged.
Creating a Table
• Example:
After the database structure is designed and the database has been created, you can add the individual
tables. You must use accurate assignment of data types and options, then you can add the tables from the
design plan to the database. Table and column options are covered later in this lesson.
Creating tables is a complex topic due to the process of choosing how to create the table and the syntax,
which consists of many elements. The statement syntax shown in the slide includes the column and table
options.
1. Creates a table called CountryLanguage"(" is the beginning of the table structure definition that
ends with ")".
2. The column named CountryCode is assigned the data type of CHAR and maximum length of 3
characters that cannot accept NULL. The comma at the end of the line indicates that you are
continuing to define columns, or set a primary key.
3. The column named Language is assigned the CHAR data type and a length of 30, also with no
NULLs.
4. The column named IsOffical is assigned the ENUM data type (with the value 'True' or 'False').
The addition of NOT NULL means that each row must contain one of the specified values (as
indicated in single quotation marks). If the field is not provided, it is set to 'False' by the phrase
DEFAULT 'False'.
5. The column named Percentage is assigned the FLOAT data type. It contains three digits,
including one to the right of the decimal point. This column cannot accept NULL.
6. Defines the PRIMARY KEY, the type of key, and to what columns it applies. In this case, a
combination of both CountryCode and Language columns define a unique identifier for each
row.
7. ")" is the closing of the table structure definition. “;” means execute this statement (using the
MySQL command-line client) and create the CountryLanguage table.
Note: You can also use the CREATE TABLE statement to create temporary tables. Temporary tables
are covered in detail later in the course.
For more information about creating a table, see the MySQL Reference Manual at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/create-table.html.
The SHOW CREATE TABLE statement produces a statement that can create a table with the same
properties as the table specified. This can help you to understand the structure of a table. You can also use
it as a basis for the syntax to create a new table. For example, to show the CREATE TABLE statement
used to create the City table, execute the statement shown in the example in the slide.
Column Options
The CREATE TABLE column options modify how MySQL handles the associated column. Some
common column options:
• You can add options to the CREATE TABLE statement, such as:
• ENGINE
• COMMENT
• DEFAULT CHARACTER SET
• Example:
The CREATE TABLEtable options modify how MySQL handles the entire table. Some common table
options:
• ENGINE = <storage_engine_name>: Indicates the storage engine to be used for the table
• COMMENT: Up to 60 characters of free form text
• DEFAULT CHARACTER SET <character set>: Specifies the default character set for the
table
Table Indexing
You can create indexes on single columns or multiple columns (composite indexes). For example, the
phone number for an individual in a phone book can be used as a single column index, whereas the last
name and first name can be used to create a composite index.
MySQL Indexing
• PRIMARY KEY
• Only one PRIMARY KEY is allowed per table.
• It uniquely identifies a single row in the table.
• No NULL values are permitted.
• No duplicate values are permitted.
• If a duplicate value is INSERT or UPDATE MySQL returns an error and the attempted
operation is not performed.
• UNIQUE
• The same rules as the PRIMARY KEY, with two exceptions:
Can have values stored as NULL
• Example:
The result of the SHOW INDEX statement example in the slide shows that there is a PRIMARY index
on the Code column of the Country table, and an index type of BTREE table. The Cardinality column
shows the number of distinct values that exist in the table: 239 in this case.
Note: Most indexes are stored in B-trees. Exceptions are indexes on spatial data types use R-trees, and
MEMORY tables also support hash indexes.
For more information about the SHOW INDEX statement, see the MySQL Reference Manual at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/show-index.html.
Table Constraints
• A constraint is a restriction placed on one or more column values of a table to actively enforce
integrity rules.
• Constraints are implemented using indexes.
• Types of constraints:
• PRIMARY KEY
• FOREIGN KEY
• UNIQUE
• MySQL generates indexes to enforce the above constraints.
A constraint is a restriction placed on one or more column values of a table to actively enforce integrity
rules.
• PRIMARY KEY: Defines the columns that guarantee uniqueness within a table
• FOREIGN KEY: Restricts the columns to contain only values that match those in another
table’s PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE columns
• UNIQUE: The same as PRIMARY KEY except that the columns are allowed to be null-able,
and there may be multiple UNIQUE constraints in one table
For example, if the MySQL server allowed you to modify the world_innodb database by changing the
CountryCode value in the CountryLanguage table without changing the corresponding CountryCode
value in the City table, then you end up with rows that no longer point to valid country records (known as
orphaned rows). With constraints in place (FOREIGN KEY, in this case), the server raises an error if
an attempt is made to modify or delete data that is referenced by other tables, or it propagates the changes
to other tables for you.
Note: Only the InnoDB storage engine supports FOREIGN KEY constraints. Other storage engines
ignore these constraints in table definitions.
A successful DROP DATABASE returns a row count that indicates the number of tables dropped. (This
actually is the number of .frmfiles removed, which amounts to the same thing.) You can check your
current databases to make sure that the database is removed by using the SHOW DATABASES
statement.
A database is represented by a directory under the data directory. The server deletes only files and
directories that it can identify as having been created by itself (such as .frm files). It does not delete other
files and directories. If you have put nontable files in that directory, those files are not deleted by the
DROP DATABASE statement. This results in a failure to remove the database directory. In that case, the
database continues to be listed by SHOW DATABASES. To correct this problem, you can manually
remove the database directory and any files that it contains.
Any warning generated by DROP DATABASE can be displayed with the SHOW WARNINGS
statement.
• Adding a column to a table populates the rows with NULL, the default value as specified, or the
data type implicit default.
• In a query, the column appears as empty or zero:
Note: The statement for populating a table with data is covered in detail later in the course.
You should not remove a column from a table if it is a primary key. You cannot remove a column that is a
foreign key from another table.
For more information about using ALTER TABLE, see the MySQL Reference Manual at:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/alter-table.html.
You cannot modify a column from a table if it is a primary key and if a foreign key from another table
references the column.
The previous ALTER TABLE...MODIFY COLUMN statement example changes the row contents of
the table as follows:
Note: The statement for populating a table with data is covered in detail later in the course.
Anything that can be added using CREATE TABLE can be changed using ALTER TABLE.
For more information about using ALTER TABLE, see the MySQL Reference Manual at:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/alter-table.html.
Truncate a Table
The SQL TRUNCATE TABLE command is used to delete complete data from an existing table.
You can also use DROP TABLE command to delete complete table but it would remove complete table
structure form the database and you would need to re-create this table once again if you wish you store
some data.
truncate command is different from delete command. delete command will delete all the rows from a
table whereas truncate command re-initializes a table(like a newly created table).
For e.g. If you have a table with 10 rows and an auto_increment primary key, if you use delete command
to delete all the rows, it will delete all the rows, but will not initialize the primary key, hence if you will
insert any row after using delete command, the auto_increment primary key will start from 11. But in case
of truncate command, primary key is re-initialized.

Introduction to DML Experiment
06
Objective
The Purpose of this Lab is to introduce the DML (Data Manipulation Language) which includes
Insert, Update & Delete Statements
Theory
The DML SQL statements are used to manipulate database and table data. The statements shown in the
slide are followed by options to specify data operations (such as table name).
• Do not grant users (including yourself) more permissions than required. For example, if
you are running some ad hoc queries on a database for the finance department, do not use
the MySQL root account. Instead, create a user who has permission to run only the
needed SELECT queries and then log in as the user.
• Keep daily backups of the data stored in MySQL.
• Always make a backup before you make any major changes, or when using unfamiliar
features.
• For beginners, a useful startup option is the safe updates option. It can be turned on with
the command-line client option --safe-updates, or by issuing SET
SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=1. It is helpful for cases when you might have issued a
DELETE FROM tbl_name statement but forgotten the WHERE clause. Normally,
such a statement deletes all rows from the table. With this option, you can delete rows
only by specifying the key values that identify them. This helps prevent accidents.
• Test queries and updates on a test table before running them on the real table.
• Execute a SELECT statement with the same WHERE clause to verify that the right
results are returned, before running a DELETE or an UPDATE statement.
INSERT Statement
The syntax for INSERT uses separate column and value lists following the name of the table into which
you add the single record. The number of columns and values must be the same.
In the INSERT example in the slide, you add Chinese as a language for Albania, with a percentage of
20, and the default F (false) for the IsOfficial column is acceptable because it is not the official language
of the country.
In the result for the example in the slide, the false (F) value for the IsOfficial column is the default value,
which is used in the absence of a specific assignment.
In the INSERT example in the slide, you add MySQL as a language for Greenland, Fiji, and Belgium.
However, you do not want to give it a percentage, and the default F (false) for the IsOfficial column is
acceptable. The row data for each of the three rows is enclosed in parentheses.
The result for the example in the slide is achieved with the following query:
In the example result in the slide, the F (false) value for the IsOfficial column is the default value, which
is used in the absence of a specific assignment.
Note: You must enclose all column values in single quotation marks (for string and temporal data types)
in the INSERT statement.
The example in the slide demonstrates how you can update the Country database by changing the
Population column calculation and the Region to Dolphin Country for the country Sweden (code
'SWE'). The results show one row affected, one row matched (selected by the WHERE clause), and one
row changed.
• There is no guarantee about the order in which rows are updated, which can result in errors:
To solve the problem of the first UPDATE in the slide that causes an error, add an ORDERBY clause to
cause the row updates to occur in a particular order, as shown in the second UPDATE.
The results shown in the slide are a result of the following query:
+------+----------------+-------------+---------------+------------+
+------+----------------+-------------+---------------+------------+
...
+------+----------------+-------------+---------------+------------+
DELETE Statement
• Use DELETE to remove whole, specified table rows instead of individual columns
• General syntax:

Select Queries (Selection, Projection, Functions) Experiment
08
Objective
The Purpose of this Lab is to get familiar with basic Select Queries which includes Selection &
Projection Queries & Some Built-in Functions
Theory
SELECT Statement
SELECT is the most commonly used data manipulation language (DML) statement. The SELECT
statement forms a description of the data that is to be retrieved from the database. It does not specify
exactly how the data is to be retrieved. The result returned by the database server in response to a
SELECT statement takes the form of a table, which is a collection of rows.
An expression that does not contain any column name is allowed in <column_list>.
We have a database name boat_reservation:
SELECT example:
Projection, which retrieves all the rows in the Name and Rating columns from the Sailor table. Queries
can be performed on one, multiple, or all columns, on one or more tables.
For example, you can retrieve all the column data from the Sailortable, using (*):
Note: The word “query” is most commonly used to describe a SELECT statement.
Using SELECT Clauses
Optional clauses can be used alone (or in combination) to generate specific query results.
• Types of clauses:
• DISTINCT: Eliminates duplicate rows from the result set
• FROM: Specifies what tables to retrieve data from
• WHERE: Filters for specific rows
• ORDER BY: Sorts rows by specified order
• Syntax example (with the order of the clauses fixed):
The syntax example in the slide shows the correct order and usage of each of the listed optional clauses.
This statement performs the following:
Without DISTINCT
Subset of Relation can be obtained using Some Condition (or Using Where Clause)
• Arithmetic:+, -, *, /, DIV, %
• Comparison:<, <=, =, <=>, <> or !=, >=, >, BETWEEN
• Logical:AND, OR, XOR, NOT
• Additional options:IN, IS NULL, LIKE, ()
Arithmetic Operators
• + Addition
• - Subtraction
• * Multiplication
• / Division
• DIV Integer division
• % Modulo (remainder after division)
Comparison Operators
• + Addition
• < Less than
• <= Less than or equal to
• = Equal to
• <=> Equal to (works even for NULL values)
• <> or != Not equal to
• >= Greater than or equal to
• > Greater than
• BETWEEN <value1> AND <value2>Indicate a range of values (inclusive)
Logical Operators
• IN is equivalent to a list of comparisons with OR, but more readable and efficient.
• You can use IS NULL to check whether a value is null (such as ... <column_name> IS NULL).
• The LIKE operator can be used for pattern matching (such as WHERE <value>LIKE
'<pattern>').
• You can also use parentheses (<expression>) to group parts of an expression.
• Operators can be applied to almost all types of value expressions such as literals, columns,
function calls, and so on.
• You can also combine several criteria with logical operators.

The Date/Time formats chart in the slide gives a list of all date and time formats permitted to be used
within temporal functions.
See the Data Types lesson for specific information about the values and ranges for these format types.
Functions that expect date values usually accept DATETIME values and ignore the time part. Functions
that expect time values usually accept DATETIME values and ignore the date part.
• Addition of a specified interval of days from the current date and time:
Temporal Functions: Extracting Temporal Data Examples
• Rounding
• Truncation
• Trigonometric calculations
• Generating random numbers

• DEGREES(), PI(), RADIANS()
• Trigonometric functions:
• COS(), SIN(), COT()
• ACOS(), ASIN(), ATAN(), ATAN2()
• Other functions:
• EXP(), LN(), LOG(), LOG2(), LOG10()
• POWER(), SQRT()

Combining Multiple Tables
If you want to find the details of records referenced in a foreign key, you combine data from two or more
tables by performing a table join.
• Joined tables:
– This join results in a Cartesian product.
– The result includes all combinations of rows from table1 and table2.
When you cross-join two tables (as in the example in the slide), each row from one table is combined
with each row from every other table, yielding all possible combinations of rows. This result is also
known as the Cartesian product. Joining tables this way has the potential to produce a very large
number of rows because the row count is the product of the number of rows in each table.
A cross-join between two tables each containing 1000 rows will return 1000 × 1000 = 1 million rows.
That is a lot of rows, even though the individual tables are small. Such a join is also called an unqualified
join.
Categories of Joins
The syntax discussed earlier uses the comma separator in the FROM clause to name (and separate) the
joined tables. Another inner join syntax uses the INNER JOIN keywords. With this syntax, those
keywords replace the comma separator between table names. Also with INNER JOIN, the conditions
that indicate how to perform row matching for the tables move from the WHERE clause to become part
of the FROM clause.
Note: ON and USING are not exactly identical. USING treats the columns from the two tables as the
same, whereas ON treats them as two different columns.
JOIN Keywords
Outer Joins
The LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN answer the same kinds of questions, but differ slightly in their
syntax. A LEFT JOIN can always be rewritten into an equivalent RIGHT JOIN.
In the above example, the RIGHT JOIN results in a list that shows where there were NULLs for those
sailor who were not reserved any boat:
Natural Join
The associated tables have one or more pairs of identically named columns.
The columns must be the same data type.
Don’t use ON clause in a NATURAL JOIN.
Example
mysql> SELECT s.sname
FROM sailor s NATURAL JOIN reserves r

Select Queries (Aggregates, Groups, Having) Experiment

Objective
The Purpose of this Lab is to get familiar that how to use Groups & Having Clauses with
Aggregates Functions
Theory
Aggregate Functions
DISTINCT examples:
SUM(DISTINCT <column_name>)
AVG(DISTINCT <column_name>)
COUNT(DISTINCT <column_name>)
GROUP BY
• The GROUP BY clause places rows into groups.
• Each group consists of rows having the same value in one or more columns.
• Calculates a summary value for each group
• General Syntax:
SELECT [DISTINCT] target-list
FROM relation-list
WHERE qualification
GROUP BY grouping-list
• Example:
mysql> SELECT rating, COUNT(sid)
FROM sailor
GROUP BY rating
In above Example, group is make on rating column and count the no. of sailor for each rating.
Find no. of sailor for each rating in which sailor age must be greater than 25
mysql> SELECT rating, COUNT(sid)
FROM sailor
WHERE age>25
GROUP BY rating
HAVING
• Use the HAVING clause to eliminate rows based on aggregate values.
• Evaluated after the grouping implied by GROUP BY
• General Syntax:
SELECT [DISTINCT] target-list
FROM relation-list
WHERE qualification
GROUP BY grouping-list
HAVING group-qualification
• Example
mysql> SELECT rating, COUNT(sid)
FROM sailor
GROUP BY rating
HAVING COUNT(sid)>1
In above Example, group is make on rating column and count the no. of sailor for each rating which
rating have minimum sailor count is 2.
You can use the HAVING modifier to require that the groups produced by a GROUP BY clause satisfy
particular criteria.
As such, it resembles the WHERE clause. The difference is that the HAVING clause is evaluated after
the grouping implied by the GROUP BY clause. This means that the HAVING condition can refer to
aggregate functions. However, any part of a condition that can also appear in the WHERE clause should
not be in the HAVING clause. A good HAVING clause is always based on aggregate functions (because
these are not allowed in the WHERE clause).

Analytical Queries (Rollup, Cube) Experiment
11
Objective
The Purpose of this Lab is to get familiar with the Analytical Queries Which includes Rollup, Cube
& Top- N (Limits) Queries
Theory
The ROLLUP operator is useful in generating reports that contain subtotals and totals. The ROLLUP
operator generates a result set that is similar to the result sets generated by the CUBE operator.
ROLLUP
ROLLUP generates a result set that shows aggregates for a hierarchy of values in the selected
columns.
General Syntax:
SELECT [DISTINCT] target-list
FROM relation-list
WHERE qualification
GROUP BY grouping-list
WITH ROLLUP
Example:
mysql> SELECT rating, age, COUNT(sid)
FROM sailor
WHERE age>25
WITH ROLLUP
CUBE
CUBE generates a result set that shows aggregates for all combinations of values in the selected
columns.
LIMIT
• Specifies the number of rows to output in result set
• Example withoutLIMIT:
mysql> SELECT bid,COUNT(sid)
FROM reserves
GROUP BY bid
ORDER BY bid DESC
Example with LIMIT
mysql> SELECT bid, COUNT(sid)
FROM reserves
GROUP BY bid
ORDER BY bid DESC
LIMIT 1

Normalization - Introduction Experiment
12
Objective
The Purpose of this Lab is to get familiar with the concept of Normalization
Theory
Normalization
Normalization is the process of refining a relational database design to ensure that each independent piece
of information is in only one place.
Advantages of Normalization
• ERDs:
• Enables you to develop diagrams effortlessly when tables, columns, and relationships are
predetermined
• Updates:
• Avoid anomalies such as insertion, deletion, and modification problems, which cause
inconsistencies with updates
• Compact:
• Modifies a single object property easily
• Data access:
• Enables you to access all logically required data
• Joins:
• Identify the join columns
Minimize the amount of data having to be searched
Disadvantages of Normalization
Despite the numerous advantages of normalization, there are some disadvantages to be considered:
• Several tables:
• Must be accessed for user reports and other user data
• Maintenance:
• Can be in some conflict with the business processes. For example, youmay have to
duplicate information or create summary tables to gain more speed, due to the
maintenance costs of keeping multiple copies of data.
• Resource usage:
• Can be an expensive process in time and resources
• Takes many join statements to get the required data
• Poorly designed table structures result in duplicate data, redundant data, and difficulties in using
the data.
• To avoid anomalies, ensure that each table column meets the following criteria:
• Represents a characteristic of the table subject
• Contains only a single value
• Is not deconstructed into smaller components
• Does not contain a calculated or concatenated value
• Is unique within the entire database structure
• Multi-table columns (in relationship) are identical
Normal Forms
Assume a video library maintains a database of movies rented out. Without any normalization all
information is stored in one table as shown below.

Database Administration Experiment

Objective
The Purpose of this Lab is to get familiar with the Database Administration that how we Install,
Configure, Import & Export Databases
Theory
Installation
• MySQL is the database component in the LAMP stack, which has become the preferred stack for
web applications:
• Linux: Operating system
• Apache: Web server
• MySQL: Relational Database Management System
• PHP/Perl/Python: Programming languages
• The LAMP stack offers many degrees of freedom.
• You can go from LAMP to WAMP (Windows).
Installing MySQL
• The tee file is a text file that logs all mysql client statements and their output.
• Everything you see displayed on the screen is appended into a given file.
• You can enable this feature interactively within the mysql client with the tee command:
mysql> tee session_tee_log.txt
• Write query results directly into a file by using SELECT with the INTO OUTFILE clause.
• Example:
• A file is written to the server host rather than to the executing client.
• Data is written to a new file only; there are no overwrites.
• The file contains one line per row selected by the statement.
• The user that executes the statement must have the FILE privilege.
• The file is created with file system access permissions.
Exporting with a Query: CSV Format
New data can be imported into a database by using a MySQL (.sql) statement file, which contains all the
information needed to create tables.
• Example: Import the world_innodb database from file by using the mysql command.
• Use the input operator (<) to indicate the SQL file name.
• Example: Import the data file within the mysql client.
Caution: Do not import over an existing database file with the same name.
Shell-level client commands do not require a semicolon (;) at the end of the statement.
• LOAD DATA INFILE is the reverse operation of SELECT with INTO OUTFILE.
• However, it uses similar clauses and format specifiers.
• It reads row values from a file into a table.
• Files can be in tab-delimited or comma-separated format.
• Example:
• MySQL assumes that the file is located on the server host in the database data directory.
The simplest form of the LOAD DATA INFILE statement specifies only the name of the data file and
the table into which to load the file, as shown in the example in the slide.
The syntax for LOAD DATA INFILE is as follows, where optional parts of the statement are indicated
by square brackets:
[IGNORE | REPLACE]
format_specifiers
[IGNORE n LINES]
[(column_list)]
[SET (assignment_list)]
The example in the slide shows how to use a LOAD DATA INFILE statement to import a file named
/tmp/data.txt that contains information in comma-separated values (CSV) format, with values enclosed
within double quotation marks and lines terminated by carriage returns into a table named table1.
