Create a Database

Launch SQL Server Management Studio

Enter MyDatabase, click OK:

3  

Right click over Tables, select New Table from the popup menu:

Create Table1:

Set Primary Key:

Save Table 1 :

Close workspace windows, <ctrl-f4>, <ctrl-f4>

4  

Right click over Tables, select New Table from the popup menu:

Create Table 2:

Save Table 2 :

Close workspace windows, <ctrl-f4> Expand Tables folder:

5  

Create a New Data Model Expand Database Diagrams folder:

Click Yes. Right click over Database Diagrams folder, add new diagram:

Select both tables, click Add:

Click Close, position tables, change view:

6  

Change view on Table 2, your diagram should look like the following:

Database Relationships

Graphical user interfaces and hidden handshakes:

Click OK, OK, adjust relationship object:

Reason for Relationships, Software Service Providers, Amazon S3, lost data

VoltDB – massively large distributed databases with relationship integrity

Lost data, Jay from J & J Story

7  

Database Indexes – Increase Speed

Data Model Diagrams Right click over the spot, select menu item:

Click Add:

Click Close, Click :

Then click Yes:

8  

Printing Data Model Diagrams

Print Problems, Select Copy Diagram to Clipboard:

Launch Word, expand margins, paste:

Show Buzz diagram:

9  

SQL Server Account Security

Expand Security folder in Object Explorer, right click over Logins, New Login:

Fill out the form for “user1”:

Click OK to continue.

10  

Right click Users folder under Security under MyDatabase:

Click on the eclipses:

Enter “user1”, click on the “Check Names” button, then click OK:

File out “user1” for the User name field, then click on OK again:

11  

Expand the Schemas folder, right click over “dbo” and select “Properties” menu:

Go to the “Permissions” tab:

Click on the “Add” button, enter “user1”, click “Check Names”, click OK:

Select the access rights as follows and click OK:

12  

Working with SQL Scripts, Start in MyDatabase / Security / Users

You should see the following:

Select File Save As menu:

Create new directory “c:\demo1\sql”:

13  

From MyDatabase Security Logins, script to clipboard the following:

You will see the following:

Click on the button to run the script. You should see the following result:

Recreate “user1” access to database:

14  

Select Script Action To Clipboard:

Paste into our script file:

Add “user1” as user of “MyDatabase”, script to clipboard, paste into script:

Right click over “dbo”, select “Properties” from popup menu:

Select access rights, script to clipboard:

15  

Paste into our script file. Click on the button to run the script. You should see the following result:

Verify user1 exists and has the correct access rights:

Moving Database Files

Good Object Oriented Design for Code and Data

Detach Database

16  

Find database files, and cut to clipboard:

Navigate to “c:\demo1”, create “Database Files” folder, paste files to new location:

Return to SQL Server Management Studio

17  

Attach Database:

Navigate to “c:\demo1\Database Files” and select MDB file:

Database is back, but user1 account is now invalid, run our script:

18  

Select “c:\demo1\sql\ DropCreateUser1.sql”:

Exit SQL Server Management Studio Create Web Pages for Editing Our Database Launch Visual Studio:

Select New / Web Site… menu item:

Select “c:\demo1\website1” for the location, then click OK:

19  

Create a new solutions file for project settings. Select the solution root inside Solution Explorer:

Next, select file Save As menu item:

20  

In the “c:\demo1\sln” folder, save the website1.sln file:

Time to prepare to run a program generator called Mintiera.

Mintiera will create web pages we can use to edit records in our database.

Delete App_Data folder:

Delete “Default.aspx” file:

21  

Use Visual Studio Import Feature. Create App_Code folder:

Create “Admin” folder:

Create “css” folder. Create “Javascript” folder. You should see the following:

22  

Mintiera web site:

Mintiera is code generator: Web pages, CSS friendly user controls, middle tier data access components, for editing records in a database

The way Mintiera works: 10 SQL data types cross 20 code snippets for CRUD

Northwind Data Model:

Editing the Northwind data base:

23  

Running Mintiera on MyDatabase:

Click on “Aready Registered, Login” link:

Mintiera uses Click-Once deployment, click button to launch program:

Enter Connection Parameters and click Next button:

Use defaults for Layer Options, click Next button:

24  

Copy Connection String text into clipboard:

Return to Visual Studio. Edit web.config file:

Return to Mintiera, select Table1 and click Next button:

25  

Default values for SQL field types determined from data model. Use defaults, click Next:

Default values key generation method determined by field type, click Next button:

26  

Default values for related tables taken from data model, click Next button:

Mintiera supports 4 levels of data validation: Client-Side Javascript, web page presentation layer, middle tier data access component, and database validation. Default values for related tables taken from data model, click Next button:

27  

You must specify a temporary folder for output (c:\tmp shown below):

Click Generate Code button to create about 4000 lines of code:

28  

Click Restart button and select Table2, click Next button:

Use Mintiera defaults for Field Types and options, click Next button:

29  

Select the following for Table2 Primary and Foreign Key Settings, click Next:

Use Mintiera defaults for related tables, click Next:

Use defaults for Validation Settings, click next button:

30  

Click “Generate Code” button for Output Settings:

Click “Exit” button when code generation is complete:

31  

Next, we need to import the generated Mintiera code into our Visual Studio project. Right click over Admin folder in Solution Explorer, and select Add Existing Item:

Select all the files in “c:\tmp\WebForms2” as shown:

We just added all the web pages we need to edit MyDatabase.

32  

Right click over the “App_Code” folder, select Add Existing Items…” from the popup:

Select all the files in “c:\tmp\App_code” folder to import all the middle tier data access components:

Again, right click over the “App_Code” folder, select Add Existing Items…” from the popup. And import all the App_Code_Support_Classes to Visual Studio:

33  

Right click over the “css” folder, select Add Existing Items…” from the popup:

Import all the files from “c:\tmp\css”:

Right click over the “Javascript” folder, select Add Existing Items…” from the popup:

34  

Import all the files from “c:\tmp\Javascript”:

Right click over the root folder, select Add Existing Items…” from the popup:

Import all the files from “c:\tmp\ GlobalApplicationCode”:

Add a reference to System.Design:

35  

Select Build Solution from the Build menu:

Confirm Build succeeded:

Return to SQL Server Management Studio. Select File / Open / File menu:

36  

Table1Script.sql and Table2Script.sql contain SQL script for stored procedures used by middle tier data access components for doing CRUD operations.

Navigate to “c:\tmp\sql”, select all files, click on the Open button:

Click <F5> to execute:

Click <F4> to close the window, click <F5> to execute the next SQL script:

37  

Click <F4> to close the window, exit the management studio, return to Visual Studio.

Set MyDatabase.aspx as the start page for Visual Studio.

Hit <ctrl-F5> to launch brower:

Show web pages for editing records.

38  

CSS Files and Data Entry Forms

Mintiera uses a table-less web page design for page layout. No HTML-table tags.

Table tags auto fill versus div-tag liquid fill.

This OuterDiv-InnerDiv CSS method works with the following browsers (no hacks):

IE 6, IE 7, IE 8 regular mode, IE 8 compatibility mode

Firefox 3, Opera 9, Safari 3, and Google Chrome 4

The method uses only CSS to control layout. Content is separated from presentation.

Remove the CSS file and you see the following:

CSS friendly controls can be modified for data entry forms.

Restore CSS files and layout returns:

The idea of separating content from presentation is illustrated by CSSZenGarden.Com

Remove default backup file:

Click on Add button, select file and location, click on OK button:

Click on the Options button, select Overwrite all existing backup sets, Click OK:
