Entity
• An Entity is an object in the real world (or even imaginary worlds) about which we want or need to maintain information– Persons (e.g.: customers in a business,
employees, authors)– Things (e.g.: purchase orders, meetings,
parts, companies)
Employee
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 9IS 202 – FALL 2002
Attributes
• Attributes are the significant properties or characteristics of an entity that help identify it and provide the information needed to interact with it or use it (This is the Metadata for the entities)

Relationships
• Relationships are the associations between entities
• They can involve one or more entities and belong to particular relationship types– One to One– One to Many– Many to Many

Requirements Analysis
• Conceptual Requirements– Systems Analysis Process
• Examine all of the information sources used in existing applications
• Identify the characteristics of each data element– Numeric– Text– Date/time– Etc.
• Examine the tasks carried out using the information
• Examine results or reports created using the information

Conceptual Design
• Conceptual Model– Merge the collective needs of all applications– Determine what Entities are being used
• Some object about which information is to maintained
– What are the Attributes of those entities?• Properties or characteristics of the entity• What attributes uniquely identify the entity
– What are the Relationships between entities• How the entities interact with each other?
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 23IS 202 – FALL 2002
Developing a Conceptual Model
• Overall view of the database that integrates all the needed information discovered during the requirements analysis
• Elements of the Conceptual Model are represented by diagrams, Entity-Relationship or ER Diagrams, that show the meanings and relationships of those elements independent of any particular database systems or implementation details
• Can also be represented using other modeling tools (such as UML)

2002.10.17 - SLIDE 31IS 202 – FALL 2002
Normalization
• Normalization theory is based on the observation that relations with certain properties are more effective in inserting, updating and deleting data than other sets of relations containing the same data
• Normalization is a multi-step process beginning with an “unnormalized” relation– Hospital example from Atre, S. Data Base:

Normal Forms
• First Normal Form (1NF)
• Second Normal Form (2NF)
• Third Normal Form (3NF)
• Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF)
• Fourth Normal Form (4NF)
• Fifth Normal Form (5NF)

Functional dependencyof nonkey attributes on the primary key - Atomic values only
Full Functional dependencyof nonkey attributes on the primary key
No transitive dependency between nonkey attributes
All determinants are candidate keys - Single multivalued dependency
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 34IS 202 – FALL 2002
Unnormalized Relations
• First step in normalization is to convert the data into a two-dimensional table
• In unnormalized relations data can repeat within a column

First Normal Form
• To move to First Normal Form a relation must contain only atomic values at each row and column– No repeating groups– A column or set of columns is called a
Candidate Key when its values can uniquely identify the row in the relation

1NF Storage Anomalies
• Insertion: A new patient has not yet undergone surgery -- hence no surgeon # -- Since surgeon # is part of the key we can’t insert
• Insertion: If a surgeon is newly hired and hasn’t operated yet -- there will be no way to include that person in the database
• Update: If a patient comes in for a new procedure, and has moved, we need to change multiple address entries
• Deletion (type 1): Deleting a patient record may also delete all info about a surgeon
• Deletion (type 2): When there are functional dependencies (like side effects and drug) changing one item eliminates other information
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 39IS 202 – FALL 2002
Second Normal Form
• A relation is said to be in Second Normal Form when every nonkey attribute is fully functionally dependent on the primary key– That is, every nonkey attribute needs the full
primary key for unique identification

1NF Storage Anomalies Removed
• Insertion: Can now enter new patients without surgery
• Insertion: Can now enter Surgeons who haven’t operated
• Deletion (type 1): If Charles Brown dies the corresponding tuples from Patient and Surgery tables can be deleted without losing information on David Rosen
• Update: If John White comes in for third time, and has moved, we only need to change the Patient table
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 44IS 202 – FALL 2002
2NF Storage Anomalies
• Insertion: Cannot enter the fact that a particular drug has a particular side effect unless it is given to a patient
• Deletion: If John White receives some other drug because of the penicillin rash, and a new drug and side effect are entered, we lose the information that penicillin can cause a rash
• Update: If drug side effects change (a new formula) we have to update multiple occurrences of side effects
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 45IS 202 – FALL 2002
Third Normal Form
• A relation is said to be in Third Normal Form if there is no transitive functional dependency between nonkey attributes– When one nonkey attribute can be determined with
one or more nonkey attributes there is said to be a transitive functional dependency
• The side effect column in the Surgery table is determined by the drug administered – Side effect is transitively functionally dependent on
drug so Surgery is not 3NF

• Deletion: If John White recieves some other drug as a result of the rash from penicillin, but the information on penicillin and rash is maintained
• Update: The side effects for each drug appear only once
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 49IS 202 – FALL 2002
Boyce-Codd Normal Form
• Most 3NF relations are also BCNF relations
• A 3NF relation is NOT in BCNF if:– Candidate keys in the relation are composite
keys (they are not single attributes)– There is more than one candidate key in the
relation, and– The keys are not disjoint, that is, some
attributes in the keys are common
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 50IS 202 – FALL 2002
Most 3NF Relations Are Also BCNF – Is This One?

Fourth Normal Form
• Any relation is in Fourth Normal Form if it is BCNF and any multivalued dependencies are trivial
• Eliminate non-trivial multivalued dependencies by projecting into simpler tables
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 53IS 202 – FALL 2002
Fifth Normal Form
• A relation is in 5NF if every join dependency in the relation is implied by the keys of the relation
• Implies that relations that have been decomposed in previous NF can be recombined via natural joins to recreate the original relation
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 54IS 202 – FALL 2002
Normalizing to Death
• Normalization splits database information across multiple tables
• To retrieve complete information from a normalized database, the JOIN operation must be used
• JOIN tends to be expensive in terms of processing time, and very large joins are very expensive

Why Use a Database System?• Database systems have concentrated on
providing solutions for all of these issues for scaling up Web applications– Performance– Scalability– Maintenance– Data integrity– Transaction support
• While systems differ in their support, most offer some support for all of these

Web Application Server Software
• ColdFusion
• PHP
• ASP
• All of these are server-side scripting languages that embed code in HTML pages
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 66IS 202 – FALL 2002
ColdFusion
• Developing WWW sites typically involved a lot of programming to build dynamic sites– E.g., pages generated as a result of catalog
searches, etc.
• ColdFusion was designed to permit the construction of dynamic Web sites with only minor extensions to HTML through a DBMS interface
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 67IS 202 – FALL 2002
What ColdFusion Is Good For
• Putting up databases onto the Web
• Handling dynamic databases (frequent updates, etc.)
• Making databases searchable and updateable by users
2002.10.17 - SLIDE 68IS 202 – FALL 2002
CFML ColdFusion Markup Language
• Read data from and update data to databases and tables
• Create dynamic data-driven pages• Perform conditional processing• Populate forms with live data• Process form submissions• Generate and retrieve email messages• Perform HTTP and FTP function• Perform credit card verification and authorization• Read and write client-side cookies

Photo Browser
• The current photo browser uses a combination of – Javascript for expandable hierarchies– Database in MS Access– ColdFusion to search the database when one
of the facets is selected
• The database design for the photo database currently looks like…

Assignment 7 (Database Design)
• Involves– Examining a Web Site (probably) using a
DBMS for E-commerce to sell books– Inferring the structure and kinds of entities
and attributes used in that site (book info only)– Creating your own design using ER diagrams
showing the entities and relationships that you inferred
