Databases for StressFreev1.3

StudentsDB - id, name, year, advisor, schedule, transcriptTranscriptsDB - student, myMajors, myMinor,

myCourseRecords, registrarCoursesDB - id, title, distrib, sameAs, prerequisites,

myOfferingsOfferingsDB - id, section, labSection, semYear, capacity,

enrollment, myClassList, course, instructor, timeSlot

SchedulesDB - student, approved, finished, numClasses, myClassesInstructorsDB - name, myClasses, myAdviseesTimeSlotsDB - id, days, startTime, endTime

Note: Some of these names are not the same as in your StressFreev1.3.zuml model. We will use the Poseidon-generated Java classes (with these name changes) that are now in the folder StressFreev1.3 at the course web site.

SQL - Structured Query Language

A good database software tool (reliable, easy to use, free, and well integrated with Java).

• StressFree database creation, insertion, and queries are easily accomplished with simple SQL commands

• Java/mySQL interface (JDBC and SQL Connector/J) allows us to implement the component of StressFree in Java.

• The database component of StressFree will be part of the server side.

• A good tutorial on SQL (but it’s long!) is at:http://www.bowdoin.edu/~yzhuang/download/John

.Wiley.MySQL.pdf(Look at chapters 3 and 5 for starters.)

• So let’s learn a little about SQL and its Java interface…

SQL Overview

A Database is a collection of tables—It can be accessed by the ‘use’ SQL command.—Our database is called ‘csci260’

Each table has rows of values of a certain type—E.g., ‘TimeSlotsDB’ is a table inside the csci260 database with rows of values of type ‘TimeSlot’.

A table is a collection of columns, one for each variable

—It can be created and destroyed by the ‘create table’ and ‘drop table’ SQL commands.

—Information in tables can be accessed, added, changed, removed, or combined with other tables using ‘select’, ‘insert’, and other SQL commands.



5

Getting started: Connecting to the SQL Server— By command line -- our username is ‘csci260’ and our password is ‘regy’.— The host server is a separate machine outside the lab.— Only one database can be accessed at one time.



6

Getting started: Connecting to the SQL Server— In Java we need to import the java.sql.* classes— These provide all the methods for manipulating SQL databases and tables.— This program is in the Eclipse folder ‘workspace260Reg’ at the course web site.



7

Accessing a table in an SQL database— From the command line: use ‘show tables’ and ‘select’ commands



8

Accessing the same table from a Java program – Note that the names are those of the TimeSlot class variables.

Creating a new table in an SQL database (Java)

The above lines simulate the SQL commands:mysql> CREATE TABLE myTable (id int, name text);mysql> INSERT INTO myTable (id, name) VALUES (1, ‘Yip’);Mysql> …

1. Package functionally cohesive groupsE.g., Group Student, Transcript,

ScheduleE.g., Client classes vs Server classes

(as in the KnockKnock system)E.g., Database access classes

2. Package functionally related interfacesE.g., StressFree GUI

Relational cohesion =

Low cohesion indicates poor packaging.

System Architecture:Deployment Diagrams

Identify software and hardware platforms where the system will run•Each box is a hardware/OS node in the system

•Links between boxes show communication paths and protocols

•Files and other artifacts can appear inside the boxes

•Boxes can be nested
