 Rationale

Database driven web sites are all the rage

nowadays. They basically consist of a "back-end"
database with web pages that contain "script"
programming languages capable of pulling specific
information from the database depending on what
the user wants to know.

 Software

Oracle 12c R1 Enterprise Edition installed on server in

college called Dilbert
You will use a client called SQL Developer 4.1.1 to access
the database server to write SQL and PL/SQL commands
Oracle MySQL 5 installed on server in college called
Munro
You will use a web based client to access to write your
SQL commands

 Client Machines

You will need to know what type of platform you are

using
Is it Windows 64-bit?
Is it Windows 32-bit ? I doubt you have this one
nowadays
Is it Mac OS X?
You will need to know which OS you have on your
computer system

 Why Databases?

Why are you learning databases?

What does a database have to do with web
development?

 SQL Developer Interaction

SQL queries

Results

Client Database server

Application software Database management system
Data access API Database

The client we use is SQL Developer 4.0.2 to access the database server, this is how
we function during the database course

HTTP 5105 Database Design and Development 9 August 4, 2017

 SQL Developer Interaction

Server Software
Database Management System (DBMS)
The DBMS does the back-end processing
This is the server running on Dilbert
Client Software
Application software
Data access API (Application Program Interface)
The client software does the front-end processing
In our case this is SQL Developer running on your computer
SQL Interface
SQL Interfaces
SQL is Structured Query Language

HTTP 5105 Database Design and Development 10 August 4, 2017

 Areas to be Covered

SQL statements to query data, relatively easy

SQL statements to manipulate the data, not too bad
SQL statements to create database objects, have to
know what to create
Programming procedures on the server side to
interact with the client using Oracle PL/SQL , OK now
time to think
This applies to both Oracle and MySQL

 Multi-Tier System or N-Tier System

Application Servers store business

components

User request SQL queries

Response Results
Client Application server Database server
User interface Business components DBMS
Database

This is more as the configuration would be in the real business world

 Simple Web-Based System

User request User request SQL queries

Internet

Response Response Results

Client Web server Database server

Web browser Web applications DBMS
Web services Database

Web Servers store web applications and web

services

 Web Server

The Web Server is where the application is deployed

With the application deployed here it can be accessed
by a web browser from any computer
There are several commercial web server products
available:
Oracle WebLogic Server
IBM WebSphere
Tomcat
JBoss

 How Does a Web Application Work?

Web browser on the client sends a request to the

web server
Web server processes the request
Web server passes any data requests to the database
server
Database server returns results to the web server
Web server returns a response to the browser

 What to Expect

Thursday will be the lecture

Will discuss, demonstrate the various SQL commands you
need to know
Tuesday in the lab you will practice these commands and
concepts each week (lab exercises are due during class,
have to be there to submit)
On Tuesday you will be given an assignment that you will
do on your own time
Assignment will be due the following week on Tuesday at
the beginning of class (8:00 AM)
HTTP 5105 Database Design and Development 16 August 4, 2017
 Late Assignments

Assignments are deducted 10% for each day it is late

After 5 days a grade of zero is assigned
Please do your assignments and keep up to date
The next weeks material maybe dependent on the
previous material, you do not want to fall behind,
tough to play catchup

HTTP 5105 Database Design and Development 17 August 4, 2017

 Plagiarism

You are expected to do your own work and

submitted your own original work not that of
someone else
Penalties are stiff when you are caught
Best way is to do your own work
If you copy someone elses work you are not learning
the material and it will only affect you down the road

 Peer Tutors

If you are struggling I can arrange for peer tutors in

this course
If you find things tough please talk to me before it is
too late

 SQL Developer

Our main interface for Oracle is SQL Developer

Preinstalled in the labs
I will help you obtain your own copy to install on your
own computer to access the database server on
Dilbert
This will be the focus of your first assignment and lab
exercise

HTTP 5105 Database Design and Development 20 August 4, 2017

 SQL Developer
This is the SQL Developer
interface
On the far right are Connections
I have many different
connections you will only have a
single one here
You enter your command in the
Query Builder
The results are displayed in the
Script Output
You can adjust the pane size
Much more on this coming soon

HTTP 5105 Database Design and Development 21 August 4, 2017

 SQL Developer
This is a program
written in SQL
Does not get
much easier than
this
Do not let this
fool you it will
become more
complex than
what you see
here

 What If I Have a Database Problem?

If you cannot connect

If you receive an error trying to login
Who do you call
If you try to login unsuccessfully too many times you
will lock your database account
Email me I look after the database that you use for
this course, do not contact the help desk
