Study Notes
Relationships between tables
- Relationships occur when a primary key in one table matches a foreign key in another table.
- Foreign keys can have null or duplicate values, and they reference primary keys in other tables.
- One-to-one: A single record in the first table corresponds to a single record in the second table, and vice versa.
- One-to-many: A single record in the first table can be related to multiple records in the second table, but a single record in the second table can only correspond to one in the first.
- Many-to-many: A single record in the first table can be related to multiple records in the second table, and vice versa. A linking table is created to handle this relationship by copying the primary keys from each table into the new table.
Database Schema and Integrity
- A schema defines the database structure, including tables, fields, relationships, etc.
- Integrity constraints ensure compatibility between various components of the schema.
- Formulas within a schema can represent integrity constraints for specific applications.
Normalization
- A process of optimizing database schemas to minimize redundancies and issues with data insertion, deletion, and updating.
- A complex schema is often decomposed into smaller schemas for optimization.
- Normal forms (at least five exist) are sets of rules that assess table structure for soundness and error-free designs.
SQLite
- SQLite is an open-source, self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, SQL database engine.
- It is widely deployed and stores data directly in disk files with an .sqlite extension.
- Python can create and access SQLite databases.
Finance.sqlite
- This database holds daily historical price data for 13 stocks and the S&P 500.
- Data tables are named after their corresponding tickers (e.g., AXP, GE, IBM, etc.).
- A Tickers validation table contains a single column (Symbols) listing the unique ticker symbols.
Options.sqlite
- This database utilizes a relational structure to store information about stocks, options, and related trades.
- It consists of four tables: Stocks, OptionContracts, StockTrades, and OptionTrades.
- Relationships are established through primary and foreign keys (e.g., StockSymbol in the Stock table and the StockTrades table).
- The relationships in this database are all one-to-many.
Structured Query Language (SQL)
- SQL is a standardized language for database communication and interaction, designed to be cross-platform.
- Database vendors often extend ANSI/ISO SQL with their own versions (e.g., Transact-SQL, PL/SQL).
- Python can embed SQL statements, enabling various database operations from data retrieval to structural changes.
SQL Statement Categories
- Data Query Language (DQL): Used for data retrieval.
- Data Manipulation Language (DML): Used for writing, changing, or deleting data.
- Data Definition Language (DDL): Used to modify the database structure.
- Data Control Language (DCL): Involves commands like GRANT and REVOKE, which control access privileges.
DML (Data Manipulation Language)
- SELECT: The primary command used to retrieve data from a database.
- SELECT Statement Clauses:
- FROM: Required clause specifying the table to query.
- WHERE: Used to filter results based on specific conditions.
- ORDER BY: Used to sort the returned results.
- GROUP BY: Used to group rows with the same values based on specified columns.
- HAVING: Used to filter grouped results.
- Comparison Operators:
<
: Less than.>
: Greater than.>=
: Greater than or equal to.=
: Equals.<>
: Not equal to.BETWEEN
: To check if the value lies within a specified range.
