Getting Started
Download CS320_Lab06.zip. Import it into your Eclipse workspace (File→Import…→General→Existing projects into workspace→Archive File). You will see a project called CS320_Lab06 in the Package Explorer. (You will also need to have the CS320_Derby project in your workspace, which should already be there from Lab 4.)
NOTE: You MUST refactor the name of the CS320_Lab06 project to include your username - BEFORE YOU EXPORT IT AND SUBMIT IT TO MARMOSET. Submissions that DO NOT adhere to that guideline will not be graded until they are refactored and resubmitted.
Example: If I was submitting Lab06, I would refactor the CS320_Lab06 project to CS320_Lab06_djhake2 as soon as I imported the project into Eclipse.
Start by creating test.db, which is the books database from Lecture 13. Execute the DerbyDatabase class as a Java application: you should see the following output:
Creating tables...
Loading initial data...
Success!
If you refresh your CS320_Lab06 project, you should see the test.db directory.
NOTE: You must work individually on this lab. It is imperative that everyone on your team be able to construct SQL queries, to establish a connection between a Java program and a SQL database, and to write SQL queries embedded in Java code. This WILL come up on the exam.
You will also automatically fail the course, as well as receive an Academic Integrity Violation, if you submit work that was completed by someone else, and/or submit any portion of code taken from the Library Example Project that I provide as part of the course.
Task
In the lab skeleton you will find a program called TitleQuery which demonstrates using an ORM interface to find all books that have the title entered by the user (along with the author information).
Your task is very similar to Lab 5, except that rather than directly executing database queries/statements, you will add methods to the IDatabase interface and implement them in BOTH FakeDatabase and DerbyDatabase.
Tasks:
Using TitleQuery as a model, write your own programs (separate classes with main() methods) to do the following:
-
Create class BooksByAuthorLastNameQuery that finds all books written by the author whose last name is specified by the user. Return the books in the same form as the TitleQuery program, but sorted in ascending order by Title. This is the same SQL query as problem 1 from Lab 5. You are welcome to reuse your code from that solution.
-
Create class InsertNewBookWithAuthor: Given the full (first and last) name of an author, a title, an ISBN, and a publish year, insert the book into the database. The program should add a new tuple to the authors table if the author doesn’t already exist. If the author already exists, the program should use that author’s author_id. Use the SQL insert statement to insert the new tuple(s). NOTE: This is the same set of SQL queries as problem 3 from Lab 5. You are welcome to reuse your code from that solution.
Hints
For the first task, add the following method to IDatabase:
public List<Pair<Author, Book>> findAuthorAndBookByAuthorLastName(String lastname);
Implement it in FakeDatabase and DerbyDatabase. Start by implementing the method in FakeDatabase (just have the method in DerbyDatabase throw an UnsupportedOperationException.)
For the second task, first do a query to see if the author exists. If the author doesn’t exist, insert the new author into the authors table. (Note: you will want to allow the database to automatically assign an author_id). Then, retrieve the author_id so that you can insert a new tuple into the books relation (again, the database will automatically assign a book_id). Note that the entire operation should be executed as part of a single transaction.
Submitting
When you are done, submit the lab to the Marmoset server using the method below.
