UML Specification for Data Modeling
7.1 UML Specification for Data Modeling • UML Notation for Data Modeling • Modeling Associations in the Data Model • Modeling Aggregation in the Data Model • Modeling Inheritance in the Data Model
CourseOffering - number : String 0..* 0..* Course - name 1 - description - number Modeling Associations in the Data Model • Associations between two persistent objects are realized as foreign keys to the associated objects. • A foreign key is a column in one table which contains the primary key value of associated object Course Offering table Foreign Key Primary Key Course table
Modeling Aggregation in the Data Model • Aggregation is also modeled using foreign key relationships • Using composition implements a cascading delete constraint Student table Student. - studentID : int Primary Key 1 1 0..* 0..* Foreign Key Schedule table Schedule - semester : Semester
Modeling Inheritance in the Data Model • A data model does not support modeling inheritance in a direct way • Two options • Use separate tables (normalized data) • Duplicate all inherited associations and attributes (de-normalized data)
The Relational Data Model and Object Model
7.2 The Relational Data Model and Object Model • The Relational Data Model • The Object Model
The Relational Data Model • The relational model is composed of entities and relations. An entity may be a physical table or a logical projection of several tables also known as a view.
The Object Model • An object model contains classes. Classes define the structure and behavior of a set of objects, sometimes called objects instances. The structure is represented as attributes (data values) and associations (relationships between classes).
7.3 Persistence Frameworks • The Purpose of a Persistence Framework • Hibernate
Hibernate • Object / Relational mapping (ORM) and persistence / query framework • i.e. It does even more stuff for you! • Some features of Hibernate • HibernateDaoSupport – superclass, easy HibernateTemplate access • Database independence - sits between the database and your java code, easy database switch without changing any code • Object / Relational Mapping (ORM) - Allows a developer to treat a database like a collection of Java objects • Object oriented query language (HQL) - *Portable* query language, supports polymorphic queries etc. • You can also still issue native SQL, and also queries by “Criteria” (specified using “parse tree” of Java objects) • Hibernate Mapping - Uses HBM XML files to map value objects (POJOs) to database tables • Transparent persistence - Allows easy saves/delete/retrieve for simple value objects • Very high performance “in general” due to intelligent (2-level) caching, although in a few cases hand-written SQL might beat it
Hibernate • Hibernate basically sits between the DB and your code • Can map persistent objects to tables
7.4 Database Design • Purpose • Overview • Steps • Map persistent design classes to tables • Distribute class behavior to the database
Purpose • To ensure that persistent data is stored consistently and efficiently. • To define behavior that must be implemented in the database.

Steps • Map Persistent Design Classes to the Data Model • Optimize the Data Model for Performance • Optimize Data Access • Define Storage Characteristics • Define Reference Tables • Define Data and Referential Integrity Enforcement Rules • Distribute Class Behavior to the Database • Review the Results
Mapping Persistent Classes to Tables • In a relational database • Every row is regarded as an object • A column in a table is equivalent to a persistent attribute of a class Attributes from object type Object Instance
Map Class Behavior to Stored Procedures • Determine if any operations can be implemented as a stored procedure • Candidate operations • Deal with persistent data • Any operations where a query is involved in a computation • Need to access the database to validate data
What Are Stored Procedures? • A stored procedure is executable code which runs under the RDBMS • Two types of stored procedures • Procedures: Executed explicitly by an application • Triggers: Invoked implicitly when some database event occurs
Example: Map Class Behavior to Stored Procedures Class Candidate Operations • getTuition • addSchedule • getSchedule • deleteSchedule • getStudentID • getName • getAddress
