Study Notes
Introduction to Databases
- Semester: 2nd
- Course: IBM + IR
- Topics:
- Basic concepts (2 hours)
- Relational databases (6 hours)
- Introduction to SQL (9 hours)
Topic 1: Basic Concepts
- Databases are essential for managing data in today's digital world (e.g., eCommerce, social media, banking).
- Before databases, data storage methods were limited (e.g., paper, magnetic tapes, accounting books).
- Challenges included difficulty searching, retrieving, maintaining integrity, and security.
- Early databases focused on large volume data handling.
Topic 2: Relational Databases
- Relational databases store data in tables with relationships.
- Tables represent entities (e.g., customers, products).
- Data is organized into rows (records) and columns (fields).
- Relationships link tables (e.g., primary & foreign keys).
Topic 2: Relational Databases (continued)
- Relationships ensure data integrity.
- Primary keys uniquely identify rows in a table.
- Foreign keys link to primary keys in other tables.
- ER diagrams help visualize entities, attributes, and relationships in relational databases.
Topic 3: Introduction to SQL
- SQL (Structured Query Language) is a language used to manage and manipulate relational databases.
- SQL commands are used to create, read, update, and delete data.
- SQL is widely used for data analysis and manipulation in various applications.
Topic 3: SQL (continued)
- SQL operators manipulate data (e.g., arithmetic (+,-,*,/), comparison (<,>,=,!=,<>,LIKE), logical (AND,OR,NOT)).
- Functions for manipulating strings (e.g., CONCAT, SUBSTRING, LENGTH, UPPER, LOWER).
- Subqueries enhance query capabilities.
Data Types in SQL
- INT: Whole numbers
- FLOAT: Floating-point numbers
- DOUBLE: Double-precision floating-point numbers
- DECIMAL: Fixed-point numbers with precision (p) and scale (s)
- VARCHAR: Variable-length text
- CHAR: Fixed-length text
- TEXT: Long text fields
SQL Query Structures (continued)
- Data retrieval using SELECT statements.
- Filtering with WHERE clauses.
- JOIN functions to combine data from multiple tables.
- SQL commands for updating data (UPDATE) & deleting data (DELETE).
- SQL commands for creating tables (CREATE TABLE).
Advanced SQL Queries
- Inner Join: Returns rows with matching values in both tables.
- Left Outer Join: Returns all rows from the left table and matching rows from the right.
- Right Outer Join: Returns all rows from the right table and matching rows from the left.
Advanced SQL (continued)
- Correlated subqueries
- Using 'IN'
Database Design
- Database design involves defining structure, storage, and retrieval mechanisms for relational databases.
- Schema definition specifies tables, fields, data types, and relationships.
- Normalization techniques reduce data redundancy.
Database Tools
- MySQL, MySQL Workbench
- Power BI
Data Analytics types
- Descriptive analysis
- Trend analysis
- Comparative analysis
Data Sources
- INE
- Ministry of Economy, Trade and Enterprise
- Bank of Spain
