2. Key topics / learning outcomesof this lecture Database use within an Android App; Learn the concept of creating anSQLite Database; A look at SQL (Structured QueryLanguage);2 3. What is a database?B4004A L1 3 4. Different types of DatabaseB4004A L1 4 5. Android DatabaseThe database used with Android is calledSQLite.This database is a trimmed downversion of MySQL, PostgreSQL andother similar databases.B4004A L1 5 6. SqLite Android Database it is a relational database; SQLite was originally designed for defence purposes; it has no administrator; it uses less data types than other typical relationaldatabases: int: a signed integer; real: a floating-point number; text: a text string; blob: a blob of data; It is shipped with Android: Each APP has its own SQLite database.B4004A L1 6 7. Usual steps to design a database Create a Data dictionary List all the data terms, example: name, address, postcode; Allocate a data type to the field example: the _id field has a data type of int; Create an Input/Output list identify all inputs and outputs, example: input name, address, postcode example: output list of all address in postcode W1.B4004A L1 7 8. Usual steps to design a database Identify Entities list relationships one to one one to many many to many List attributes their data type; their default value; Normalize reduce duplication of data storage create new tables to reduce duplication of fields; Add keys primary key foreign keysB4004A L1 8 9. Data Flow Diagrams Once all the information gathering is complete, adatabase design is moved on to the drawingstage; The first drawing will be very concise, almost likea birds eye view of the database, usually nameda Context drawing; Each section of the Context drawing will beexpanded level by level until the detail isexhausted, therefore no more detailed level maybe reached.B4004A L1 9 10.

Databases comprise of Tables Usually a database will contain more than onetable: example PERSON, PERSON_ADDRESS. Fields Fields are table columns with a heading andcolumn content Records are table rows with an id and row contentB4004A L1 13 14. a closer look at databases B4004A L1 14 15.

Use SQL to access data, for exampleSQL SyntaxSELECT * FROM PERSON INNER JOIN PERSON_ADDRESS ON PERSON._id =PERSON_ADDRESS._id WHERE PERSON.Name=John;B4004A L1 19SELECT column_name(s)FROM table1INNER JOIN table2ON table1.column_name=table2.column_nameWHERE table1.column_name= ? ;Actual SQL derived from the syntax 20. More SQL (Structured QueryLanguage) Resources SQL is a standard database protocol: adopted by most relational databases; Provides syntax for interaction with databases; For more info, visit W3schools for theirtutorial on SQL: here you will find all the SQL syntax needed tointeract with your database.http://www.w3schools.com/sqlB4004A L1 20 21. Seminar In the seminar for this lecture, you will becopying and pasting code into IntelliJ andrunning a database. You will be making some changes to the fieldsand tables to learn how you may tailor thedatabase to suit a different application.B4004A L1 21 22. Workshop In the workshop for this lecture, you will beviewing a series of tutorials explaining moreabout SQLite.B4004A L1 22 23.
