Unit 2.4b Using Programs with Data, SQL
Using Programs with Data is focused on SQL and database actions. Part B focuses on learning SQL commands, connections, and curses using an Imperative programming style,
- Database Programming is Program with Data
- Schema of Users table in Sqlite.db
- Describe Schema, here is resource Resource- What is a database schema?
- Reading Users table in Sqlite.db
- - What is a connection object? After you google it, what do you think it does?
- - Same for cursor object?
- Create a new User in table in Sqlite.db
- Updating a User in table in Sqlite.db
- Delete a User in table in Sqlite.db
- Menu Interface to CRUD operations
- Hacks
Database Programming is Program with Data
The Tri 2 Final Project is an example of a Program with Data.
Prepare to use SQLite in common Imperative Technique
- Explore SQLite Connect object to establish database connection- Explore SQLite Cursor Object to fetch data from a table within a database
Schema of Users table in Sqlite.db
Uses PRAGMA statement to read schema.
Describe Schema, here is resource Resource- What is a database schema?
- What is the purpose of identity Column in SQL database?
- The identity column is to sort the users.
- What is the purpose of a primary key in SQL database?
- The primary key is used to organize and individualize for each user.
- What are the Data Types in SQL table?
- Numeric and string data types (also blob)
- Imperative Programming - series of functions
- Object Oriented Programming - class, objects
- SQL alchemy is an abstraction
- An abstraction is a different way to represent something
- EX: Functions, OOP, cursor and connect (though C&C are more raw)
- SQL - Structure Query Language
import sqlite3
database = 'instance/sqlite.db' # this is location of database
def schema():
# Connect to the database file
conn = sqlite3.connect(database)
# Create a cursor object to execute SQL queries
cursor = conn.cursor()
# Fetch results of Schema
results = cursor.execute("PRAGMA table_info('users')").fetchall()
# Print the results
for row in results:
print(row)
# Close the database connection
conn.close()
schema()
Reading Users table in Sqlite.db
Uses SQL SELECT statement to read data
- What is a connection object? After you google it, what do you think it does?
- Same for cursor object?
- Look at conn object and cursor object in VSCode debugger. What attributes are in the object?
- Is "results" an object? How do you know?
- An object is data and functions
- Yes, "results" is an object
import sqlite3
def read():
# Connect to the database file
conn = sqlite3.connect(database)
# Create a cursor object to execute SQL queries
cursor = conn.cursor()
# Execute a SELECT statement to retrieve data from a table
results = cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM users').fetchall()
# Print the results
if len(results) == 0:
print("Table is empty")
else:
for row in results:
print(row)
# Close the cursor and connection objects
cursor.close()
conn.close()

print(f"The row with user id {uid} the password has been {message}")
conn.commit()

Hacks
- Add this Blog to you own Blogging site. In the Blog add notes and observations on each code cell.
- Create a new Table or do something new, sqlite documentation
- In implementation in previous bullet, do you see procedural abstraction?
