Today, we'll learn how to actually
add data to our databases-- | 31.6 | 2.85 |
to insert, to update, and delete data. | 34.45 | 3.7 |
We'll do all of this in the context of
Boston's very own Museum of Fine Arts, | 38.15 | 5.18 |
or the MFA for short. | 43.33 | 1.84 |
So the MFA here in Boston is a century-- | 45.17 | 2.447 |
well, maybe, about a
century-old museum that | 47.617 | 1.833 |
has many artifacts and artwork inside
of it, both historical and contemporary. | 49.45 | 5.19 |
And it's worth asking, how do they
keep track of the thousands of items | 54.64 | 4.08 |
that are in their collections? | 58.72 | 1.69 |
What could they possibly use? | 60.41 | 1.88 |
Well, chances are, they're likely
using some kind of database. | 62.29 | 4.29 |
And on that database, they
want to do four actions | 66.58 | 4.05 |
we've learned about back in week zero. | 70.63 | 2.55 |
They could, perhaps, create data-- to
add data or insert data to the database | 73.18 | 4.44 |
when they get some new piece
of artwork, for instance. | 77.62 | 2.65 |
They might want to query the
database, to read from it. | 80.27 | 2.7 |
They could also update data, change the
artist, change the artwork in some way. | 82.97 | 4.28 |
And they could also just delete
data to remove it all together. | 87.25 | 4.09 |
But if we think about these-- | 91.34 | 1.58 |
creating, reading, updating,
and deleting-- we'll | 92.92 | 3.45 |
notice that reading,
updating, and deleting-- we | 96.37 | 2.67 |
can't do those if we don't
actually have data in our database. | 99.04 | 3.87 |
And so today, we'll see
how to create data-- | 102.91 | 3.3 |
how to insert data into
our very own database. | 106.21 | 4.65 |
Now, let's think about the MFA's
[? collections, ?] [? their ?] | 110.86 | 3.54 |
[? collection ?] of art and artifacts. | 114.4 | 1.583 |
And let me propose that they
have a database [? that ?] | 115.983 | 2.292 |
looks a bit like this. | 118.275 | 1.265 |
It's a single table, and it has
a title column and accession | 119.54 | 4.16 |
number, which is a fancy way of saying
a unique ID internal to the museum, | 123.7 | 4.68 |
and also, a date it was acquired. | 128.38 | 2.58 |
We have, of course, a primary
key on this table called ID. | 130.96 | 4.65 |
And let's think. | 135.61 | 1.02 |
Well, the museum might want
to acquire this piece here-- | 136.63 | 3.03 |
this one called Profusion of Flowers. | 139.66 | 2.73 |
Well, how could they log that this
artwork is inside of their database? | 142.39 | 5.55 |
They could maybe just add a new row. | 147.94 | 2.22 |
They could say, let's
put Profusion of Flowers | 150.16 | 2.13 |
as the first item in
our collections here. | 152.29 | 2.61 |
We'll give it a title and
accession number-- which, again, | 154.9 | 2.53 |
is just a unique ID
internal to the museum-- | 157.43 | 2.67 |
and the date it was acquired. | 160.1 | 2.15 |
And that row then has
its own primary key | 162.25 | 3.09 |
to identify this row
uniquely in our database. | 165.34 | 3.66 |
Now let's say they get
another piece of artwork. | 169 | 2.04 |
They get this one, called
Farmers Working at Dawn, | 171.04 | 3.09 |
and they want to add this
one to their table, too. | 174.13 | 2.323 |
Well, they could do the very same thing. | 176.453 | 1.667 |
They could just add a new row. | 178.12 | 1.26 |
They could say, let's make a
title, an accession number, | 179.38 | 2.55 |
and a date it was acquired,
and this brand-new row | 181.93 | 2.31 |
here for that piece of artwork. | 184.24 | 2.43 |
And maybe they get another one, too. | 186.67 | 2.16 |
Same thing. | 188.83 | 0.78 |
Maybe they'll get back
Spring Outing, and they | 189.61 | 2.16 |
want to add this to their collection. | 191.77 | 1.95 |
They could simply add
another row like this. | 193.72 | 4.09 |
Now, it turns out that the database
administrator behind the MFA | 197.81 | 4.25 |
might be running a SQL statement
that looks a bit like this-- | 202.06 | 4.56 |
INSERT INTO. | 206.62 | 2.25 |
We can use INSERT INTO to add
a new row to any given table. | 208.87 | 5.31 |
And notice how insert into needs to
know a few pieces of information. | 214.18 | 4.72 |
The first is what table to insert into. | 218.9 | 3.65 |
What is the name of that table? | 222.55 | 2.46 |
Second, it needs to
know what columns are | 225.01 | 2.7 |
we adding data to inside of this table? | 227.71 | 3.42 |
We give it a list of those columns here. | 231.13 | 2.25 |
Then, of course, it needs to
know what new values should | 233.38 | 3.75 |
go into this new row for
each of these columns. | 237.13 | 3.66 |
Like we saw before, is
it Profusion of Flowers? | 240.79 | 3.03 |
Is it Spring Outing? | 243.82 | 1.38 |
Et cetera. | 245.2 | 1.11 |
Here, we can see that we
have this list of values. | 246.31 | 3.07 |
And notice how value 0, the
first value in this list, | 249.38 | 3.23 |
corresponds to the new value that will
be inserted [? to ?] this first column. | 252.61 | 4.95 |
And we can keep having value 1,
or column 1, value 2 and column 2, | 257.56 | 3.899 |
each one aligning with that
particular column there. | 261.459 | 4.451 |
So let's see an example
of this actually in code, | 265.91 | 3.39 |
understand it a bit more concretely. | 269.3 | 2.24 |
I'll go back to my computer here. | 271.54 | 2.19 |
Let's actually create
our very own database | 273.73 | 2.34 |
that involves this schema of having our
very own table which can keep artists | 276.07 | 4.92 |
and artwork and artifacts as well. | 280.99 | 3.64 |
So I'll type | 284.63 | 0.77 |
1: [? TRANSCRIPT BREAK ?]
So I'll type sqlite3 mfa.db | 285.4 | 4.11 |
to create a database for the Museum
of Fine Arts, abbreviated as MFA. | 289.51 | 5.94 |
I'll hit Enter here. | 295.45 | 1.24 |
And notice how I can now have access
to my very own mfa.db inside my SQLite | 296.69 | 6.62 |
environment. | 303.31 | 1.08 |
Well, now, I can type .schema to
see the schema of this database. | 304.39 | 5.12 |
So if I hit Enter here,
well, nothing's there. | 309.51 | 2.973 |
Because I just made this database. | 312.483 | 1.417 |
There's nothing in it yet. | 313.9 | 2.1 |
Well, it turns out I do actually
have a schema file prepared for me | 316 | 3.84 |
already in schema.sql. | 319.84 | 2.49 |
Here, I propose we make a table called
"collections," and like our table | 322.33 | 4.2 |
visually, it has let's say four columns. | 326.53 | 2.79 |
One as an "id," the primary key
of this table, one for a "title," | 329.32 | 6.195 |
one for the "accession_number," the
unique ID internal to the museum, | 335.515 | 4.095 |
and finally, the date it was acquired. | 339.61 | 3.06 |
