Data Providers
• OLE DB:A COM object, that maps the OLE DB api to the DBMS' apiIs Microsoft propritary.
• ODBC: Works similar to a printer driver undependent of DBMS and OS
• .NET Data provider:A set of classes that implements a set of interfaces and abstract classes
• Some are provided by Microsoft and are installed with the .Net framework.
• Others are written by the DBMS provider

Two ways of DB access
• Connected:
– Open connection.
– Read/Write access (select, insert, update and delete) using a Command object.
– When reading (select) a DataReader object is returned. A DataReader is an iterator (cursor) into the result table.
– Close Connection.
• Disconnected:
– Fill a DataSet object (a copy of a part of the database) using a DataAdapter.
– DataAdapter wraps SQL-statement(s).
– A DataSet object contains DataTable objects.
– DataTable objects contain collections of rows and columns.

Connection vs. Connectionless
• Connection:– Open Connection– Execute DB operations– Close Connection– Working on actual (live)
data– Other applications can not
access data.

DB
• Connectionless:– Create a copy of a part of
the database– Execute DB operations on
the copy– Other applications may
change date– The copy may be come
inconsistent.
Connection vs. Connectionless
• Data are changed in the local copy:– at update it is checked if the data in the
database have been modified by others– in that case the update is rejected
(ConcurrencyException).
10UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Overview of using databases
• 4 steps:
1. Open connection to database
2. Execute SQL for updating DB or fetching records
3. Handle data
4. Close connection
11UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Step 1: Open Connection
• Connection are opened according to connection string info– here is a connection to a MS Access database opened– The database is located here: @"c:\AnyPlace\MyDb.mdb"– @ means that escape characters are discarded
<%@ import namespace="System.Data"%><%@ import namespace="System.Data.OleDb"%>
string sConnection;sConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source="+@"c:\AnyPlace\MyDb.mdb");
OleDbConnection dbConn;dbConn = new OleDbConnection(sConnection);dbConn.Open();
connection
12UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Open Connection
• Connections are opened using a connection string– May be found using Visual Studio:
// Create and open a connection. SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(); cn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=PCM06073\\SQLEXPRESS;”
+”Initial Catalog=vw;Integrated Security=True;"; cn.Open(); ShowConnectionStatus(cn);
// or should it be? cn.ConnectionString = “Server=PCM06073\\SQLEXPRESS;” +”Initial Catalog=vw;Integrated Security=True;"; cn.Open();
Data Sourceor
Server?
Server is preferable.

Connection Strings
• Connection strings are product specific (DB specific) anf often very well-documented.
• Help may be found at:– www.connectionstrings.com – www.able-consulting.com/ADO_conn.htm
• In many cases VS can help.
14UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Step 2: Get / fetch data
• Data are fetched by creating a Command object and use it to execute a SQL statement.
• Data can be stored in either a DataReader object or a DataSet object.
15UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Differences between DataReader and DataSet/DataAdapter
• DataReader can only be used for reading data.• It can only be traversed once (forward).• DBCommand can update the database by ExecuteNonQuery. This
update is executed immediately.
• DataAdapter is the connection between DataSet and database.• Data are fetched to the DataSet, might be modified and sent back to
the database.• Updates are executed on a local copy. Concurrency problems must
be handled. • Possible to traverse forward and backward.• A DataSet can contain multiple tables.
16UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Step 2: Get records Method 1: DataSet
• Get records by SQL Select query and DataAdapter– Data can be read and changed
string sql;sql = " Select lastname, firstname" + " From employee" + " Order By lastname Asc, firstname Asc;";
OleDbCommand dbCmd;dbCmd = new OleDbCommand(dbConn, sql);adapter.SelectCommand = dbCmd;dataset =new DataSet("MyTable");adapter.Fill(dataset); dataset

17UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Step 2: Get records Method 2: DataReader
• Get records via SQL Select query– read-only access to the database
string sql;sql = " Select lastname, firstname" + " From employee" + " Order By lastname Asc, firstname Asc;";
OleDbCommand dbCmd;dbCmd = new OleDbCommand(sql, dbConn);
OleDbDataReader dbReader;dbReader = dbCmd.ExecuteReader(); data reader

What is achieved?
• We have created a connection to a database.
• The connection is placed in the connection object.
• We have done a search by using a SQL-statement.
• The search was executed by using a command object.
• The result of the search was stored in a DataSet or as here a DataReader object.
• Now it is possible to get the data from this object for viewing, passing on to client or handle in other ways.
Example: ..\vwReader
19UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Factory
• Problem: Unlike ODBC, knowledge of the implementation might be spread to many places in the application.That's because of the set of dedicated classes
• The solution is to use a factory (from factory pattern)• In ADO.NET 2.0, it is implementet in the framework.
• Use factory to create a Connection and a Command object
Example: \ReaderWithConfig
20UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Use factory to create Connection and Command objects
• Here is no references in the source code to concrete classes• provider and connectionString may be placed in the config file
string provider = "System.Data.OleDb";string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=firma.mdb";DbProviderFactory factory= DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(provider);DbConnection conn=factory.CreateConnection();conn.ConnectionString=connectionString;conn.Open();Console.WriteLine(conn.State);
DbCommand command = factory.CreateCommand();command.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM employee";command.Connection = conn;DbDataReader dataReader = command.ExecuteReader();while (dataReader.Read()){
Console.WriteLine(dataReader[1]);}
21UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Connection strings
• Connection strings depends on the provider and are not well documented
• Where to get help?– www.connectionstrings.com– www.carlprothman.net/Default.aspx?tabid=81– Providers documentation
• Visual Studio can generate some of them
22UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
.Config fil• Configuration files are used several places in .Net• i.e in ASP.NET for setting site properties and security• In Remoting for setting remote object properties• In ADO.NET to set provider and connection string• You might also use own application dependent properties• In a .Net application the config file should be called
<full assemblyname.config>, i.e test.exe.config or test.dll.config
• If you call it app.config in Visual Studio, it automatically copied and renamed when the application is built.
• In ASP.NET it must be named web.config. You might define one in different sub folders, but the security part (authentification e.g.) must be in the root folder of the site.
23UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
.config fil and ADO.NET
• Example of SQLExpress connection string:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><configuration> <configSections> </configSections> <connectionStrings> <add name="TestConnection" connectionString="Data Source=pcm06463\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=dbtest; User ID=test;Password=" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings></configuration>
Machine name
Nessesary for sqlexpress
Database
Internal name
24UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Get provider and connection string
• From ConfigurationManager:
.... string provider = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["TestConnection"].ProviderName; string connStr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["TestConnection"].ConnectionString;.....
Example: \ReaderWithConfig
Example: \ReaderWithConfig2
25UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Parameters in SQL statements• Makes it possible to use the same SQL-statement in multible
situations.• But harder to debugge
string sqlString = "INSERT INTO datotest Values (@dato)"; SqlParameter sqlParam = new SqlParameter("@dato", System.Data.SqlDbType.DateTime); sqlParam.Value = DateTime.Now;
SqlCommand comm = _conn.CreateCommand(); comm.CommandText = sqlString; comm.Parameters.Add(sqlParam);
int result = comm.ExecuteNonQuery();ExecuteNonQuery is
used for insert, delete and update

Transaction - Definition
September 2010UCN T&B - CBH (FEN) Databases/Transactions
26
• A transaction is an operation on data in the database.• A transaction may be composed of several database
operations, but is viewed as a logical unit of work• A transaction must be done completely or not done at all• A transaction must have the ACID properties:
– A: Either it is done in total or it is not done at all (Atomicity)– C: The database moves from one consistent state to an other
consistent state (Consistency)– I: If more operations are accessing the same data, they are
not to disturb each other – they must execute as if they executed alone (Isolation)
– D: When a transaction completes, its changes to the database are permanent (Durability)
27UCN Technology: Computer Science: Autumn 2012
Transactions – example:T1 and T2 are executing concurrently
T1: Transfers N DKKs from account X to account Y:
read_item(X);
X:= X-N;
write_item(X);
read_item(Y);
Y:= Y+N;
write_item(Y);
T2: Deposits M DKK on account Y:
read_item(Y);
Y:= Y+M;
write_item(Y);

Transactions – Problems
• We want several transactions to execute concurrently (Why?)
• Three types of problems:– lost update– uncommitted dependency (temporary update)– inconsistent analysis (incorrect summary)
• Crash during execution of a transaction must be handled
