21 – Databases: Multiple Tablesand Writing Data
Mark Dixon 2
Questions: Databases• How many records are in the following table?• How many fields does the following table have?
64
CountryName Population Land Mass Continent
UK 60776238 241590 EuropeSpain 40448191 499542 EuropeGermany 82400996 349223 EuropeEgypt 80335036 995450 AfricaKenya 36913721 569250 AfricaChina 1321851888 9326410 Asia
Mark Dixon 3
Questions: SQL• Write an SQL statement to display the name and
land mass of all countries in Africa.
SELECT Name, Land MassFROM Country WHERE Continent = 'Africa';
CountryName Population Land Mass Continent
UK 60776238 241590 EuropeSpain 40448191 499542 EuropeGermany 82400996 349223 EuropeEgypt 80335036 995450 AfricaKenya 36913721 569250 AfricaChina 1321851888 9326410 Asia

Questions: HTML in VB• Are these correct (assume variables and
fields exist)?
f = f + r("Description")
h = h + r("<br />Name")
a = "<p>" + a "</p>"
html = html + <img src=face.gif />
h = "<table>" + h + "</table>"
Mark Dixon 5
Advice• Don’t
– put anything on desktop– Especially database
Mark Dixon 6
Session Aims & Objectives• Aims
– To deal with multiple tables– To write data to databases
• Objectives,by end of this week’s sessions, you should be able to:
– identify a suitable primary key for a table– identify duplicated data in a single table– split that table to reduce data redundancy,
using a suitable foreign key– generate SQL statements to (temporarily)
join tables, and use these in your code– use SQL to write data into database
Mark Dixon 7
Data Duplication• Look for repeating data:
Track Title Artist Name Country
Paranoid Black Sabbath UK
Falling in Love Aerosmith US
Pink Aerosmith US
Love in an Elevator Aerosmith US
Smooth Criminal Alien Ant Farm US
Meaning of Life Disturbed US
The Game Disturbed US
Voices Disturbed US

Mark Dixon 8
Problem: Data Duplication• takes up lots of space
• can become inconsistent (misspellings)
• difficult to change (need to change each instance)
• difficult to search (misspellings)
Mark Dixon 9
Solution: Normalisation• Part of database design
• Process of breaking data down (splitting)
• Codd– 7 stages of normalisation
• Mathematical• Difficult to apply stages• Most professionals do it instinctively

SQL: More• Loads more:
– group by– aggregate functions: average, count– inner joins– outer joins (left and right)
• Have a look at:– http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join.asp
Mark Dixon 30
Example: Person v1 (Specification)
• User requirement:– Display people's details from database online– need 2 pages:
smithjonesdixon
list of people
jonessally
person's details
Mark Dixon 31
Example: PeopleList.aspx v1<%@ Page Language="VB" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.OleDB" %><script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load() Dim cs As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" + _ "Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("People.accdb") + ";" Dim cn As New OleDbConnection(cs) Dim cmd As OleDbCommand Dim r As OleDbDataReader Dim s As String cmd = New OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM Person;", cn) cn.Open() r = cmd.ExecuteReader() s = "" Do While r.Read() s = s & r("Surname") & "<br />" Loop cn.Close parData.InnerHtml = s End Sub</script>
<html> <head><title></title></head> <body> <p id="parData" runat="server"></p> </body></html>
Mark Dixon 32
Example: PeopleList.aspx v2<%@ Page Language="VB" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.OleDB" %><script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load() Dim cs As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" + _ "Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("People.accdb") + ";" Dim cn As New OleDbConnection(cs) Dim cmd As OleDbCommand Dim r As OleDbDataReader Dim s As String cmd = New OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM Person;", cn) cn.Open() r = cmd.ExecuteReader() s = "" Do While r.Read() s = s & "<a href='Person.aspx?id=" & r("ID") & "'>" s = s & r("Surname") & "</a><br />" Loop cn.Close parData.InnerHtml = s End Sub</script>

reads querystring(from previous page)
displays data forselected record only
Mark Dixon 34
Example: Person v2 (Specification)
• User requirement:Display person’s details from database online
– Change surname and save to database
Mark Dixon 35
Changing Data• SQL
– INSERT: inserts a new recordINSERT INTO Person (Surname, Age) VALUES ('Smith', 21);
– UPDATE: makes changes to specified recordUPDATE Person Set Surname = 'Smith', Age = 21 WHERE id = 14;
– DELETE: deletes specified recordDELETE FROM Person WHERE id = 14
Mark Dixon 36
WARNING!!• All changes permanent (no undo)
• WHERE clause is CRITICAL
DELETE FROM Person;
Will delete ALL records in table
Mark Dixon 37
Example: Person.aspx v3 (error)<%@ Page Language="VB" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.OleDB" %><script runat="server">Dim cs As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" + _ "Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("People.accdb") + ";"Dim cn As New OleDbConnection(cs)
Sub Page_Load() Dim sql As String Dim cmd As OleDbCommand Dim r As OleDbDataReader sql = "SELECT * FROM Person WHERE id=" & Request.QueryString("id") cmd = New OleDbCommand(sql, cn) cn.Open() r = cmd.ExecuteReader() If r.Read() Then txtSurname.Value = r("Surname") End If cn.Close() End Sub Sub btnSave_Click(s As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSave.ServerClick Dim cmd As OleDbCommand Dim sql As String sql = "UPDATE [Person] " + _ " SET [Surname] = '" + txtSurname.Value + "'" + _ " WHERE id = " & Request.QueryString("id") & ";" cmd = New OleDbCommand(sql, cn) cn.Open() cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() cn.Close End Sub</script>
Save buttonexecutes SQL UPDATE
PROBLEM: Page_Loadre-reads old surname first
Mark Dixon 38
Example: Person.aspx v3b<%@ Page Language="VB" %><%@ Import Namespace="System.Data.OleDB" %><script runat="server">Dim cs As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" + _ "Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("People.accdb") + ";"Dim cn As New OleDbConnection(cs)
Sub Page_LoadComplete(s As Object, e As EventArgs) Dim sql As String Dim cmd As OleDbCommand Dim r As OleDbDataReader sql = "SELECT * FROM Person WHERE id=" & Request.QueryString("id") cmd = New OleDbCommand(sql, cn) cn.Open() r = cmd.ExecuteReader() If r.Read() Then txtSurname.Value = r("Surname") End If cn.Close() End Sub Sub btnSave_Click(s As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSave.ServerClick Dim cmd As OleDbCommand Dim sql As String sql = "UPDATE [Person] " + _ " SET [Surname] = '" + txtSurname.Value + "'" + _ " WHERE id = " & Request.QueryString("id") & ";" cmd = New OleDbCommand(sql, cn) cn.Open() cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() cn.Close End Sub</script>
Save buttonexecutes SQL UPDATE
Fix: Use Page_LoadComplete
Mark Dixon 39
Example: Person.aspx v3cDim cs As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" + _ "Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("People.accdb") + ";"Dim cn As New OleDbConnection(cs)Dim sql As String
Sub Page_Load() cn.Open() End Sub
Sub btnSave_Click(s As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSave.ServerClick Dim cmd As OleDbCommand sql = "UPDATE [Person] " + _ " SET [Surname] = '" + txtSurname.Value + "'" + _ " WHERE id = " & Request.QueryString("id") & ";" cmd = New OleDbCommand(sql, cn) cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() End Sub
Sub Page_LoadComplete(s As Object, e As EventArgs) Dim cmd As OleDbCommand Dim r As OleDbDataReader sql = "SELECT * FROM Person WHERE id=" & Request.QueryString("id") cmd = New OleDbCommand(sql, cn) r = cmd.ExecuteReader() If r.Read() Then txtSurname.Value = r("Surname") End If cn.Close() End Sub
• Page_Load: first• Click events• Page_LoadComplete:
last

Tutorial Exercise: Person• Task 1: Get the Person (v1) example from the lecture
working.• Task 2: Modify your code, so that forename is displayed as
well as surname (use a table).• Task 3: Get the Person (v2 and v3) example from the
lecture working.• Task 3: Modify your code, so that a line of text is displayed
confirming that data has been saved.• Task 4: Modify your code, so that an add button is
included, which allows a new record to be added.• Task 5: Modify your code, so that a delete button is
included, which allows the current record to be deleted.
Mark Dixon 41
Tutorial Exercise: Music• Task 1: Create the Music database (from the lecture) with the Track
and Artist tables.• Task 2: Create a web page to display a list of Artists.• Task 4: Change that web page, so that each artist name is a link to
another page, which displays all the tracks by that artist. Hint: Use query strings to pass the artist ID between pages.

How To: Database Permissions• Generally
– Read: works by default– Write: requires permissions
• Asp.Net pages run as user:– Visual Studio
• Logged in user (few problems)
– IIS• ASP.Net Account• NETWORKSERVICE (Server 2003)• IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool (Windows 7)
Mark Dixon 43
How To: Database Permissions 1• In order for ASP to
write to a database– Need to give write
access account for database file (People.accdb)
• Right-click on file in File Explorer
• Click Properties• Click Security tab• Click Edit button
