Structured Data -

DATABASES
Objectives
• Understand what structured data is

• Understand key features of DATABASES:


• Tables
• Records
• Fields
• Keys
• Relationships
• Queries
DATABASE
• An way of organising (STRUCTURING) data do that the data can easily
be accessed, managed and updated
Copy the Access database from this folder to your
own home drive
• StudentShare Drive
• COMPUTING
• 4. GCSE
• Year 10
• Databases

• Use CTRL + C and CTRL + V to copy and paste it to your home drive
Basic Search Query – SELECT
SELECT Subjects.SubjectName, Subjects.SubjectTeacher
FROM Subjects
WHERE Subjects.ExamBoard = 'Edexcel'
• Adapt this query to find:

• The names of all Teachers

• The names and subjects of all Teachers

• All subjects who have Orange as the Book Colour

• All students who have a surname starting with the letter ‘G’
SELECT Classes.SubjectName, Classes.StudentName
FROM Classes
WHERE Classes.SubjectName = 'Business'
SELECT * -magic all symbol / wildcard
FROM Students
WHERE Students.DateofBirth < #01/01/2000#
Types of Query
• In the AQA spec you will need to demonstrate an ability to use the
following types of DB query.

• SELECT
• DELETE
• UPDATE
• INSERT
Your task
• Go into today’s Teams assignment. Read the examples for each query
type, then use them on your copy of the students database.
• Take screenshots to show the sql code you have used to execute the
query.
DELETE – removes records from database

DELETE FROM Students


WHERE ID=5;
• Adapt this query to:

• DELETE Student 31 from the Students table

• DELETE Business from the Subjects table

• DELETE class 9 from the Classes table


UPDATE – find and change values
UPDATE Students
SET Students.Firstname = 'Sarah'
WHERE Students.Firstname = 'Sara'
• Adapt this query to:

• UPDATE Student 33 – change their email address to [email protected]

• UPDATE Computer Science to be Computing as the SubjectName

• UPDATE Mathematics to be Maths and the Teacher to be Miss Green


Your Task
• Research the INSERT SQL query online

• Demonstrate in screenshots how this works – add a new


student to the Students table

• Screenshot the SQL code


• Screenshot the result from a table of a INSERT

• Explain what the INSERT SQL query does.


INSERT INTO

INSERT INTO Students (Firstname, Surname, DateOfBirth, Emailaddress)


VALUES (‘Jasper’, ‘Smith’, ’01/03/2004’, ‘[email protected]')
https://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp
• Write a SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE query on the Demo Database

• Screenshot each example


• Adapt this query to find:

• All subjects who have NONE teach it

• All students who have a birthdate after 01/01/2000


• Try WHERE Students.DateofBirth>#31/12/1999#

• All students who have the first name “Matthew”


Database Queries – complex SELECT (find)
SELECT Students.ID, Students.Surname, Classes.ClassID, Subjects.SubjectName,
Classes.SubjectName
FROM ((Classes
INNER JOIN Students ON Classes.StudentName = Students.ID)
INNER JOIN Subjects ON Classes.SubjectName = Subjects.SubjectName);
Homework – database features
• Table
• A set of organised data (records) put into categories (fields)
• Field
• a single part of a data record.
• Record
• a set of data values in different fields about one ‘thing’ stored in a
table
• Primary Key
• a piece of data to uniquely identify a record
• Relationship
• links between records in different tables
