  1. Lecture 24: Final Review Friday, March 10, 2006

  2. The Final • Date: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 • Time: 2:30-4:20 • Place: this room • Open book exam

  3. Problem 1 • Data modeling/relational model/SQL

  4. Data Modeling • E/R diagrams • Keys • Relationships • Inheritance • Mapping to relations

  5. Relational Model • Relations • Keys • Functional dependencies • Decomposition • Normal forms

  6. SQL • Select-from-where • Subqueries • Aggregation • Nulls • Outer joins

  7. SQL (continued) • Database modification • Defining and modifying relation schemas • Constraints • On attribute values • Keys • Foreign keys

  8. Problem 2: XML • Xquery/Xpath • XML syntax • DTD • From relations to XML • From XML to relations

  9. XQuery • Selecting data from XML (often in Xpath) • Constructing new XML values (RETURN) • Aggregates • Duplicate elimination (!!)

  10. Problem 3: Transactions • ACID properties • Recovery • Concurrency

  11. Recovery • Undo log • Redo log • Undo/redo log • This was already on the midterm, so will likely be a small question or none

  12. Concurrency control • Serializability • Conflict serializability • Locks • Timestamps • Validation

  13. Problem 4: Database Implementation • Indexes • Physical operators • Optimizations • Size estimation

  14. Index Structures • Terminology: • Dense/sparse index • Primary/secondary index • B+-trees • Hash tables • Basic hash tables • Extensible hash table

  15. Physical Operators • One-pass algorithms • Nested-loop joins • Two-pass algorithms based on sorting • Two-pass algorithms based on hash tables • Index-based algorithms

  16. General Advice • Some problems will require thinking • Use judgment • Problem difficulty may be uneven: • do the easy ones first

  17. Grading –Homework 25% –Project: 30% –Midterm: 15% –Final: 25% –Intangibles: 5%
