Database

What is Data?
In simple words, data can be facts related to any
object in consideration. For example, your name, age,
height, weight, etc. are some data related to you. A
picture, image, file, pdf, etc. can also be considered
data.
What is Database?
A database is a systematic collection of data. They
support electronic storage and manipulation of data.
Databases make data management easy.
Database Management System

Database Management System (DBMS) is a collection of programs

that enable its users to access databases, manipulate data, report, and
represent data. It also helps to control access to the database.
Relational databases
This type of database defines database relationships in the form of
tables. It is also called Relational DBMS, which is the most popular
DBMS type in the market. Database example of the RDBMS system
include MySQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server database.
What is SQL
SQL is the standard language for dealing with Relational Databases.
SQL is used to insert, search, update, and delete database records.
Out of all the relational databases, MySQL remains the most popular
database for organizations.
Relational Database Concepts
Before we dive into SQL, there are a few relational database (RDBMS) concepts that will set the background for you.

Schema
The database schema refers to the organization of data. It is a blueprint of how the database is constructed. In RDBMS, the d atabase model is
implemented by the schema. It is the Entity-relationship model.
Table

One of the main units of the schema is the table. In RDBMS, tables are laid out and associated with each other in different t ypes of relationships (one to
one, one to many, many to many) relationships.
Columns

The vertical partitions of tables are called columns. In RDBMS, a column is often also called an attribute.
Rows

The horizontal partitions of tables are called rows. In RDBMS, a row is often also called a tuple.
Indexes
In RDBMS, the index is a data structure that improves the operation of the table by quickly locating the data.

SQL
Statements
SQL is the Structured Query Language
for RDBMS databases. When you retrieve
data, you typically use SQL statements to
retrieve the data. You can join tables
together to select out just the right types
of data from different purposes using
SQL statements.
MySQL

MySQL is an open source

relational database.

MySQL is cross platform which

means it runs on a number of
different platforms such as
Windows, Linux, and Mac OS etc.
Why MySQL
Who Uses MySQL
• Huge websites like Facebook, Twitter, Airbnb, Booking.com, Uber, GitHub,
YouTube, etc.
• Content Management Systems like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, Contao,
etc.
Why MySQL?
• Open Source - MySQL is open-source software. You don’t have to spend a
single penny to access its services.
• Cross-Platform - MySQL can run on Windows, Linux, Unix, and other
operating systems.
• High Availability - MySQL possesses a high processing system that makes
MySQL process bulk queries and transactions while ensuring unique
memory caches.
• Reliability - SSH and SSL provide secure connections in MySQL. MySQL
comes with features such as data encryption and data backup for recovery.
Installing MySQL 1. Open the MySQL website on a browser.
2. Select the Downloads option.
Use MySQL
Installer
• 3. Select MySQL Installer for Windows.
4. Choose the desired installer
and click on download.
 5. After the download, open
the installer.
6. It will ask for permission; when it does, click Yes. The installer will then open. Now, it will ask
to choose the setup type. Here, select Custom.
7. Click on Next. With this, you will install MySQL server, MySQL Workbench, and MySQL shell.

8. Open MySQL Servers, select the server you want to install, and move it to the Products/Features to
be installed window section. Now, expand Applications, choose MySQL Workbench and MySQL shell.
Move both of them to ‘Products/Features to be installed’.
9. Click on the Next button. Now, click on the Execute button to download and install the MySQL server,
MySQL Workbench, and the MySQL shell.
10. Once the product is ready to configure, click on Next. Under Type and Networking, go with the
default settings and select Next.
11. For authentication, use the recommended strong password encryption.

12. Set your MySQL Root password and click on next.

13. Go for the default windows service settings and
under apply configuration, click on execute. Once
the configuration is complete, click on finish.
14. Complete the installation. This will now
launch the MySQL Workbench and the
MySQL Shell.
 15. Once MySQL Workbench is installed, select the Local instance and enter the password.

Now, you can use the MySQL query tab to write your SQL queries.
MySQL Workbench

MySQL Workbench is a unified software used to add functionality and

ease to SQL development work. MySQL Workbench provides data
modeling, SQL development, and various administration tools for
configuration. It also offers a graphical interface to work with the
databases in a structured way.

With its comprehensive features, MySQL Workbench is a popularly

used software by businesses to manage their structured databases.
MySQL Workbench

MySQL Workbench provides data modeling, SQL development, and

various administration tools for configuration. It also offers a graphical
interface to work with the databases in a structured way.

- You can create a Graphical Model using MySQL Workbench

- MySQL Workbench provides reverse engineering for live databases to
models
- MySQL Workbench offers a forward engineering model to a scipt/live
database
MySQL
Workbench
The purpose of MySQL
Workbench is to provide the
interface to work with databases
more easily and in a more
structured way.
MySQL workbench- Modeling
and Design Tool
• Models are at the core of most valid and high performance
databases. MySQL Workbench has tools that allow
developers and database administrators visually create
physical database design models that can be easily translated
into MySQL databases using forward engineering.
• MySQL workbench supports creation of multiple models in
the same environment.
• It supports all objects such as tables, views, stored
procedures, triggers, etc. that make up a database.
• MySQL workbench has a built in model validating utility that
reports any issues that might be found to the data modeler.

MySQL workbench – SQL Editor
Structured Query Language (SQL) allows us to manipulate our relational
databases. SQL is at the heart of all relational databases

• MySQL workbench, has built in SQL visual editor.

• The Visual SQL editor allows developers to build, edit and run queries
against MySQL server databases. It has utilities for viewing data and
exporting it.
• Its syntax color highlighters help developers easily write and debug SQL
statements.
• Multiple queries can be run and results automatically displayed in different
tabs.
• The queries are also saved in the history panel for later retrieval and
running.

MySQL Workbench –
Administration tool
Server administration plays a critical role in securing the data
of the company. The major issues concerning server
administration are users’ management, server configuration,
server logs and many more.
MySQL Workbench –
Administration tool
MySQL Workbench has the following features that simplify the process of MySQL
server administration:
• User administration – visual utility for managing users that lets database
administrators easily add new and remove existing users if need arises, grant and
drop privileges and view user profiles.
• Server configuration – allows for advanced configuration of the server and fine
tuning for optimal performance.
• Database backup and restorations – visual tool for exporting/importing MySQL
dump files. MySQL dump files contain SQL scripts for creating databases, tables,
views, stored procedures and insertion of data.
• Server logs – visual tool for viewing MySQL server logs. The logs include error logs,
binary logs and InnodDB logs. These logs come in handy when performing diagnosis
on the server.
