DATABASE DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE
AIM:
Developing a Database Development Life cycle with a Problem definition and
Requirement analysis Scope and Constraints.
Database Development Life cycle:
A database system is a fundamental component of the larger organization-wide
information system, the database system development lifecycle is inherently associated with
the lifecycle of the information system. The stages of the database system development
lifecycle shown below the name of each stage is the section in this chapter that describes that
stage.

conceptual to relational database and validate using Normalization language.
Procedure:
For the following ER model (Conceptual Model), creating the corresponding relational
schema and map the ER model to Relational model.
Create an appropriate heading for the columns of the results table.
The following tables form part of a Library database held in an RDBMS:
Book (ISBN, title, edition, year)
BookCopy (copyNo, ISBN, available)
Borrower (borrowerNo, borrowerName, borrowerAddress)
BookLoan (copyNo, dateOut, dateDue, borrowerNo)
Where,
Book contains details of book titles in the library and the ISBN is the key.
BookCopy contains details of the individual copies of books in the library and copyNo is the
key. ISBN is a foreign key identifying the book title.

DATABASE DESIGN USING NORMALIZATION BOTTOM-UP APPROACH

AIM:
To design a database using Normalization-Bottom Up approach.

1st Normal Form (1NF)

In this Normal Form, we tackle the problem of atomicity. Here atomicity means
values in the table should not be further divided. In simple terms, a single cell cannot hold
multiple values. If a table contains a composite or multi-valued attribute, it violates the
First Normal Form

In the above table, we can clearly see that the Phone Number column has two values.
Thus it violated the 1st NF. Now if we apply the 1st NF to the above table we get the
below table as the result.

We have achieved atomicity and also each and every column have unique values.
2nd Normal Form (2NF)
The first condition in the 2nd NF is that the table has to be in 1st NF. The table
also should not contain partial dependency. Here partial dependency means the
proper subset of candidate key determines a non-prime attribute.
DEPARTMENT ID OFFICE LOCATION
EMPLOYEE
1EDU001 ED-T1 Pune
1EDU002 ED-S2 Bengaluru
1EDU003 ED-M1 Delhi
1EDU004 ED-T3 Mumbai

This table has a composite primary key Employee ID, Department ID. The non-
key attribute is Office Location. In this case, Office Location only depends on
Department ID, which is only part of the primary key.
18

Therefore, this table does not satisfy the second Normal Form. To bring this
table to Second Normal Form, we need to break the table into two parts.
Page
 EMPLOYEE ID DEPARTMENT ID
1EDU001 ED-T1
1EDU002 ED-S2
1EDU003 ED-M1
1EDU004 ED-T3

DEPARTMENT ID OFFICE
LOCATION
ED-T1 Pune
ED-S2 Bengaluru
ED-M1 Delhi
ED-T3 Mumbai

In the table, the column Office Location is fully dependent on the primary key of that table,
which is Department ID.
3rd Normal Form (3NF)
The table has to be in 2NF before proceeding to 3NF. The other condition is
there should be no transitive dependency for non-prime attributes.
That means non-prime attributes (which doesn’t form a candidate key) should
not be dependent on other non-prime attributes in a given table.
So a transitive dependency is a functional dependency in which X → Z (X
determines Z) indirectly, by virtue of X → Y and Y → Z.

1DT15ENG02 Barry 15CS13 JAVA Bengaluru
1DT15ENG03 Clair 15CS12 C++ Delhi
1DT15ENG04 David 15CS13 JAVA Kochi

In the above table, Student ID determines Subject ID, and Subject

ID determines Subject.
Therefore, Student ID determines Subject via Subject ID. This implies that we
have a transitive functional dependency, and this structure does not satisfy the third
normal form.

DATABASE DESIGN USING EER-TO-ODB MAPPING / UML CLASS
DIAGRAMS
AIM:
Design the database using EER-to-ODB mapping/UML class diagrams.
Procedure:
The outline of the mapping from EER to ODL is as follows:
Step 1. Create an ODL class for each EER entity type or subclass. The type of
the ODL class should include all the attributes of the EER class. Multivalued
attributes are typically declared by using the set, bag, or list constructors. If the
values of the multivalued attribute for an object should be ordered, the list
constructor is chosen; if duplicates are allowed, the bag constructor should be
chosen; otherwise, the set constructor is chosen. Composite attributes are
mapped into a tuple constructor (by using a struct declaration in ODL).

Declare an extent for each class, and specify any key attributes as keys of the
extent.

Step 2. Add relationship properties or reference attributes for each binary

relationship into the ODL classes that participate in the relationship. These may
be created in one or both directions. If a binary relationship is represented by
references in both directions, declare the references to be relationship properties
that are inverses of one another, if such a facility exists.36 If a binary
relationship is represented by a reference in only one direction, declare the
reference to be an attribute in the referencing class whose type is the referenced
class name.

Depending on the cardinality ratio of the binary relationship, the

relationship properties or reference attributes may be single-valued or collection
types. They will be single-valued for binary relationships in the 1:1 or N:1
directions; they will be collection types (set-valued or list-valued37) for
relationships in the 1:N or M:N direction. An alternative way to map binary
M:N relationships is discussed in step 7.

If relationship attributes exist, a tuple constructor (struct) can be used to

create a structure of the form <reference, relationship attributes>, which may be
25

included instead of the reference attribute. However, this does not allow the use
Page
of the inverse constraint. Additionally, if this choice is represented in both
directions, the attribute values will be represented twice, creating redundancy.

Step 3. Include appropriate operations for each class. These are not available
from the EER schema and must be added to the database design by referring to
the original requirements. A constructor method should include program code
that checks any constraints that must hold when a new object is created. A
destructor method should check any constraints that may be violated when an
object is deleted. Other methods should include any further constraint checks
that are relevant.

Step 4. An ODL class that corresponds to a subclass in the EER schema inherits
(via extends) the attributes, relationships, and methods of its superclass in the
ODL schema. Its specific (local) attributes, relationship references, and
operations are specified, as discussed in steps 1, 2, and 3.

Step 5. Weak entity types can be mapped in the same way as regular entity
types. An alternative mapping is possible for weak entity types that do not
participate in any relationships except their identifying relationship; these can
be mapped as though they were composite multivalued attributes of the owner
entity type, by using the set<struct<…>> or list<struct<…>> constructors. The
attributes of the weak entity are included in the struct<…> construct, which
corresponds to a tuple constructor.
Attributes are mapped as discussed in steps 1 and 2.

Step 6. Categories (union types) in an EER schema are difficult to map to ODL.
It is possible to create a mapping similar to the EER-to-relational mapping by
declaring a class to represent the category and defining 1:1 relationships
between the category and each of its superclasses.

Step 7. An n-ary relationship with degree n > 2 can be mapped into a separate
class, with appropriate references to each participating class. These references
are based on mapping a 1:N relationship from each class that represents a
participating entity type to the class that represents the n-ary relationship. An
M:N binary relationship, especially if it contains relationship attributes, may
also use this mapping option, if desired.

OBJECT FEATURES OF SQL-UDTs

AIM:
Implementing Object features of SQL UDTs and sub types, Tables using UDTs,
Inheritance, Method definition.

Procdedure:
To implement a method, create the PL/SQL code and specify it within
a CREATE TYPE BODY statement.
For example, consider the following definition of an object type named rational
type:
CREATE TYPE rational_type AS OBJECT
( numerator INTEGER,
denominator INTEGER,
MAP MEMBER FUNCTION rat_to_real RETURN REAL,
MEMBER PROCEDURE normalize,
MEMBER FUNCTION plus (x rational_type)
RETURN rational_type);

Example: The following definition is shown merely because it defines the

function gcd, which is used in the definition of the normalize method in
the CREATE TYPE BODY statement later in this section.

CREATE FUNCTION gcd (x INTEGER, y INTEGER) RETURN INTEGER

AS
-- Find greatest common divisor of x and y. For example, if
-- (8,12) is input, the greatest common divisor is 4.
-- This will be used in normalizing (simplifying) fractions.
-- (You need not try to understand how this code works, unless
-- you are a math wizard. It does.)
--
ans INTEGER;
BEGIN
IF (y <= x) AND (x MOD y = 0) THEN
ans := y;
ELSIF x < y THEN
ans := gcd(y, x); -- Recursive call
ELSE
ans := gcd(y, x MOD y); -- Recursive call
END IF;

RETURN ans;

Viva Questions:

1. What is a User-Defined Type (UDT) in programming, and how does it differ from a
built-in type?
2. How do you define a UDT in your programming language of choice, and what syntax
is used?
3. What are the primary features or components of a UDT? Can you provide an
example?
4. How can you create methods or functions to interact with a UDT, and how do these
methods differ from standard functions?
5. How does encapsulation work with UDTs, and why is it important for maintaining
object integrity?

QUERYING THE OBJECT-RELATIONAL DATABASE USING OBJECT
QUERY LANGUAGE
AIM:
To create the querying the object-relational database using Object Query
Language
Procedure:
 Create the Table.
 Insert the Values.
 Display the Table.
Program:
CREATE TABLE Employees (FirstName VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
Surname VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,DOB DATE NOT NULL,
Salary DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULLCHECK ( Salary > 0.0 ),
Address_1 VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,Address_2 VARCHAR(64)
NOT NULL, City VARCHAR(48) NOT NULL,State CHAR(2) NOT
NULL,ZipCode INTEGER NOT NULL,PRIMARY KEY ( Surname,
FirstName, DOB ));
INSERT INTO Employees ( Pager_Number, Pass_Code, Message )
SELECT E.Pager_Number,E.Pass_Code,
Print(E.Name) || ': Call 1-800-TEMPS-R-US for immediate INFORMIX
DBA job' FROM Temporary_Employees E WHERE Contains
(GeoCircle('(-122.514, 37.221)', '60 miles')),E.LivesAt )
AND DocContains ( E.Resume, 'INFORMIX and Database Administrator')
AND NOT IsBooked ( Period(TODAY, TODAY + 7),E.Booked );
SELECT *FROM Employees;

Viva Questions:

1. What is Object Query Language (OQL) and how does it differ from SQL?
2. How do you use OQL to retrieve all instances of a specific class in an object-oriented
database?
3. What syntax does OQL use for querying object attributes and relationships?
4. How can you perform a join operation in OQL to combine data from related objects?
5. Can you write a simple OQL query to find objects that meet certain criteria, such as
those with a specific attribute value?

RESULT:
Thus the querying the object-relational database using Object Query Language
has been designed successfully.
