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
