Data Model: The Basics Data Model

Guidelines for Logical Organization of Data Three Parts: Structure, Operations and Constraints

Structure - Ways in Which Data Logically Organized Operations - Actions on Structures

e.g., List of Objects, FIFO (Queue) or LIFO (Stack) Update Operations and Query Operations

Constraints - Logical Restrictions on Data Inherent - Implied by Logical Structure Explicit - Defined in Assertions/Integrity

Constraints Implicit - Logically Follows From the Inherent &

Explicit Constraints

Essentials of Relational Approach

The Relational Model of Data is Based on the Concept of Relations A Relation is a Mathematical Concept Based on the

Concept of Sets The Theory of Relations Provides a Formal Foundation

for the Relational Data Model The Model Was First Proposed by Dr. E.F. Codd (IBM)

in 1970 in the Paper, Entitled "A Relational Model for Large Shared Data Banks," Communications of the ACM, June 1970

Relational Data Model: Data Structure

Relational Data Model Structures a Database as a Set of Relations.

A Relation Set of Tuples and Typically Shown as a Table With

Columns and Rows. Column (Field) Represents an Attribute Row (Tuple) Represents an Entity or a Relationship

What is an Example?

R(A, B) is a Relation Schema Defined over A and B Let domain(A) = {a1, a2} and domain(B) = {0, 1, 2} Tuples are:

<a1, 0>, <a1, 2>, <a2, 2> etc. How Many Possible Tuples are there? Entire Relation is a set:

{<a1, 0>, <a1, 2>, <a2, 2> etc. }

Chapter 3-11

Tuple A Row in a Relational Table e.g., ti = {vi1,vi2, ...,vin}

Attribute A Column in a Relational Table Projection of an Attribute Aj is {v1j,v2j, ...,vmj}, a

Subset of Domain(Aj.) Several Attributes may be Defined on the same

Domain (e.g., date of purchase, date of order, etc.) Null Value

Special Value Meaning “not known” or “not applicable” …

Must be a Value - Even if it is Null Degree - the Number of Attributes

Chapter 3-15

Characteristics of Attributes

Attribute Name An Attribute Name Refers to a Position in a Tuple

by Name Rather than Position An Attribute Name Indicates the Role of a Domain

in a Relation Attribute Names must be Unique Within Relations By Using Attribute Names we can Disregard the

Ordering of Field Values in Tuples Attribute Value - Must have a Value

Must Be an Atomic Value Can Be a Null Value Meaning “Not Known”, “Not

Applicable” ...

CSE 4701

Chapter 3-16

Characteristics of Relations

No Duplicate Tuples It is a Set! The Primary Key Always Exists

No Explicit or Implicit Ordering of Tuples No Ordering of Attributes (If They Are Referred to by

Their Names) All Attribute Values Are Atomic

A Special Null Value is Used to Represent Values that are Unknown or Inapplicable to Certain Tuples

Thus - If “No” Value is Desired, “Null” is Used

Key Constraints

Superkey (SK): Any Subset of Attributes Whose Values are

Guaranteed to Distinguish Among Tuples Candidate Key (CK):

A Superkey with a Minimal Set of Attributes (No Attribute Can Be Removed Without Destroying the Uniqueness -- Minimal Identity)

A Value of an Attribute or a Set of Attributes in a Relation That Uniquely Identifies a Tuple

There may be Multiple Candidate Keys

Page 22: CSE 4701 Chapter 3-1 Chapter 3 6e & 7 5e : Relational Model – Part 1 Prof. Steven A. Demurjian, Sr. Computer Science & Engineering Department The University.

CSE 4701

Chapter 3-22

Key Constraints

Primary Key (PK): Choose One From Candidate Keys The Primary Key Attributed are Underlined

Foreign Key (FK): An Attribute or a Combination of Attributes (Say A)

of Relation R1 Which Occurs as the Primary Key of another Relation R2 (Defined on the Same Domain)

Allows Linkages Between Relations that are Tracked and Establish Dependencies

Useful to Capture ER Relationships

Chapter 3-23

Superkeys and Candidate Keys: Examples

Example: The CAR relation schema:

CAR(State, Reg#, SerialNo, Make, Model, Year) Its primary key is {State, Reg#} It has two candidate keys

Key1 = {State, Reg#} Key2 = {SerialNo} which are also superkeys

{SerialNo, Make} is a Superkey but not a KeyWhy?

If Remove SerialNo, Make is not a Primary Key

Superkeys vs. Candidate Keys

Superkey of R: A Superkey SK is a Set of Attributes of R Such that

No Two Tuples in Any Valid Relation Instance R(r) will Have the Same Value for SK

Given R(U), U is the Set of Attributes of R and a Relation Instance of R, Denoted As R(r), For Any Distinct Tuples T1 and T2 in R(r), T1[sk] < > T2[sk]

For Cars, Valid Superkeys Must Contain:SerialNo or State, Reg#or Both

For Students [SSN, Name, Age] Superkey but not key since removing Name, Age or Both – still SK

Page 29: CSE 4701 Chapter 3-1 Chapter 3 6e & 7 5e : Relational Model – Part 1 Prof. Steven A. Demurjian, Sr. Computer Science & Engineering Department The University.

CSE 4701

Chapter 3-29

Superkeys vs. Candidate Keys

Candidate Key of R: One of Many Possible Keys A "Minimal" Superkey: a Candidate Key K is a

Superkey s.t. Removal of any Attribute From K Results in a Set of Attributes that is Not a Superkey

Given R(U), U is the Set of Attributes of R and a Relation Instance of R, Denoted As R(r) K is a Candidate Key If and Only If for Any A in K, There Exist Two Distinct Tuples T1 and T2 in R(r) Such That T1[k-a] = T2[k-a]

In Previous (State, Reg#, Make, Model) is SKIs it a CK? NO!Why or Why Not?

Operations on Relations

A DBMS Operates via User Queries to Read and Change Data in a Database

Changes Can be Inserting, Deleting, or Updating (Equivalent to a Delete followed by Insert)

One Critical Issue in DB Operations is Integrity Constraints Maintenance in the Presence of INSERTING a Tuple DELETING a Tuple UPDATING/MODIFYING a Tuple.

We’ll discuss Each case in Turn What is Constraint Maintenance Similar to in PL?

CSE 4701

Chapter 3-38

Problem Statements Integrity Constraints (ICs) Should Not Be Violated by

Update Operations To Maintain ICs, Updates may Need to be Propagated

and Cause Other Updates Automatically Common Method: Group Several Update Operations

Together As a Single Transaction If Integrity Violation, Several Actions Can Be Taken:

Cancel Operation that Caused Violation (REJECT) Perform the Operation but Inform User of Violation Trigger Additional Updates So the Violation is

Corrected (CASCADE Option, SET NULL Option) Execute a User-specified Error-Correction Routine

(Similar to What in a PL Like Java?)

CSE 4701

Chapter 3-39

Insertion Operations on Relations Insert a Duplicate Key Violates Key Integrity:

Check If Duplicates Occur Insert a Null Key Violates Entity Integrity:

Check If Null is in Any Key Insert a Tuple Whose Foreign Key Attribute Pointing to

an Non-existent Tuple Violates Referential Integrity: Check the Existence of Referred Tuple

Correction Actions: Reject the Update Correct the Violation - Change Null, Duplicate, Etc. Cascade the Access - Insert a New Tuple That Did

Not Exist/Delete Tuples that are being Referenced

Deletion Operations on Relations Deleting a Tuple Referred to by Other Tuples in

Database (via FKs) would Violate Referential Integrity Action:

Check for Incoming Pointers of the Deleted Tuple. Group the Deletion and the Post-processing of the

Referencing Pointers in a Single Transaction Three Options If Deletion Causes a Violation

Reject the Deletion Attempt to Cascade (Propagate) the Deletion by

Deleting the Tuples which Reference the Tuple being or to be Deleted

Modify the Referencing Attribute Values that Cause the Violation; Each Values is Set to Null or Changed to Reference to Another Valid Tuple

Modify Operations on Relations

Modify Operation Changes Values of One or More Attributes in a Tuple (or Tuples) of a Given Relation R

Maintaining ICs Requires to Check If the Modifying Attributes Are Primary Key or Foreign Keys.

Integrity Check Actions: Case 1:

If the Attributes to be Modified are Neither a Primary Key nor a Foreign Key, Modify Causes No Problems

Must Check and Confirm that the New Value is of Correct Data Type and Domain

Case 2: Modifying a Primary Key Value Similar to Deleting One

Tuple and Insert Another in its Place
