SQL Joins


1. Login in to the mysql client using the login name and password provided by your instructor (if
not already logged in).

2. View the existing databases that the MySQL Server is maintaining.

SHOW DATABASES;

3. Utilize the photo_album database.

USE photo_album;

---- If Need be, recreate the database and load the SQL data
in that will be used for this lab

CREATE DATABASE photo_album;
SOURCE /tmp/photo_album.sql;

4. Query the database to display the active primary customer (email, first and last name) and all
the associated active login names associated with that customer.

SELECT customers.email_customer, customers.fname,customers.lname, logins.login_name FROM customers, loginsWHERE customers.email_customer = logins.email_customer AND customers.active_customer = 'True' AND logins.active_login = 'True';



5. Modify the query just issued to also show the image name of all the active files associated with
each one of the login names.

SELECT customers.email_customer, customers.fname,customers.lname, logins.login_name,images.file_name
FROM customers, logins, images WHERE customers.email_customer = logins.email_customer
AND logins.login_name =images.login_name AND customers.active_customer = 'True' AND logins.active_login = 'True' AND images.active_image = 'True';


6. The customer with the login name of Frankie has requested that his login name be changed to
just 'Frank' to make it easier for him to remember it. The only problem is that the change must
also take place in the images table. This is not automatic due to the fact that this table is a
MyISAM table (rightfully so) and there is no Foreign Key constraints that would make the
change automatic. However, this is not a problem with the right update statement against the
two tables at once. Can you make one query that will update both the tables at once?

UPDATE logins, images, comments SET logins.login_name = 'Frank',images.login_name = 'Frank'
WHERE logins.login_name = images.login_name AND logins.login_name = 'Frankie';

MySQL General Architecture

        MySQL operates in a networked environment using a client/server architecture. In other words, a central  program acts as a server, and various client programs connect to the server to make requests. A MySQL  installation has the following major components: MySQL Server, Client programs and MySQL non client  utilities.  MySQL Server MySQL Server, or mysqld, is the database server program. The server manages access to the actual  database (schema) on disk and in memory. MySQL Server is multi-threaded and supports many  simultaneous client connections. Clients can connect via several connection protocols. For managing  database contents, the MySQL server features a modular architecture that supports multiple storage engines  that handle different types of tables (for example, it supports both transactional and non-transactional  tables). Keep in mind the difference between a server and a host. The server is s...

MySQL Query Browser

     MySQL Query Browser is a cross-platform GUI client program that's intuitive and easy to use. It provides a graphical interface to the MySQL server for querying and analyzing data. The MySQL Query Browser provides a Connection dialog that enables a connection to a MySQL server. This section describes how to use the Connection dialog and the Main Query Browser GUI. Using the Connection Dialog MySQL Query Browser presents a Connection dialog when it starts or when the New Instance Connection … is selected from the File menu. Connecting to a MySQL server can be accomplished either by filling in the connection dialog box fields with the parameters required to connect to a server or selecting from among any predefined connection profiles. Connection Dialog Window:                To connect to a MySQL server by specifying connection parameters directly, fill in the  appropriate fields beginning with the ...
