Designing the database

There are several key aspects of GUI design that you need to consider when designing and implementing the GUI for your project. At a high level, they can be broken down into two main areas of focus: 1. Designing the GUI to be usable and friendly from the end user’s perspective. 2. Designing and implementing the GUI to be reliable, and maintainable from the programmer’s perspective. This chapter will focus almost entirely on the first point—ease of use for the end user. We start with a very brief overview of the technical issues you probably want to address in implementing your...

For the purposes of this book, you also must install the AdventureWorks database for SQL Server 2005. This database, which contains data for a fictitious cycling company, is a totally new one specially designed and developed for SQL Server 2005 only. To start, you first install the AdventureWorks creation script, and then you create the database.

Data, data, data! Data is where it’s at as far as computers go, whether processing millions of calculations or keeping a record of your Aunt Maude’s birthday. When it comes to storing data, the database is the king. In almost eight years of professional programming, every single project I’ve worked on has involved databases somewhere along the line—that’s how essential they are to most business applications and projects. Admittedly, some areas, such as computer games, don’t make the same use of databases.

CRITICAL SKILL 1.1: Define a Database Database you say—now there's a word you hear all the time! In a nutshell, a database is an electronic collection of information designed to meet a handful of needs:
 Databases provide one-stop shopping for all your data storage requirements. The database contains any amount of data, from the small to the huge.
 Databases must provide mechanisms to retrieve data quickly as applications interact with their contents.

Before you build your tables, you design your database. In this lesson, you examine the data modeling process and relational database concepts, and define normalization. You also translate an entity relationship model into a relational database design. At the end of this lesson, you should be able to
Describe the stages of system development.
List and define basic types of data relationships.
Define a relational database and its components.
Read an entity relationship model.
Translate an entity relationship model into a relational database design....

For the system to be acceptable to the end-users, the database design activity is crucial. • A poorly designed database will generate error that may lead to bad decisions being made, which may have serious repercussions for the organization. On the other hand, a well-designed database produces, in an efficient way, a system that provides the correct information for the decision-making process to succeed.

This is the exercise book to accompany the present author's An Introduction to Relational Database Theory. With two exceptions, these exercises are copies of those given at the ends of Chapters 1-7 of that book. The exercises using Rel given with some of those chapters are also included. The first exception is Exercise 7 for Chapter 7, which I have replaced by a precise, detailed specification for a comprehensive database design. The second is a set of additional exercises using Rel, exploring virtual relvars and user-defined type definitions....

Speed. Aside from caffeine, nothing quickens the pulse of a programmer as much as the blazingly fast execution of a piece of code. How can we fulfill the need for computational speed? Moore’s law takes us some of the way, but multicore is the real future. To take full advantage of multicore, we need to program with concurrency in mind. In a concurrent program, two or more actions take place simultaneously. A concurrent program may download multiple files while performing computations and updating the database. We often write concurrent programs using threads in Java.

An investment of effort over the last two years has begun to produce a wealth of data concerning computational psycholinguistic models of syntax acquisition. The data is generated by running simulations on a recently completed database of word order patterns from over 3,000 abstract languages. This article presents the design of the database which contains sentence patterns, grammars and derivations that can be used to test acquisition models from widely divergent paradigms.
