A Table is defined

Use the Data Dictionary Tool

• Type in all the information

Load a "df" file

• run prodict/load_df.p (os-getenv ("SCHEMADIR") + "/" "customer.df").

Execute a SQL DDL statement• CREATE TABLE pub.customer (cust-num integer, . . . ) AREA "a51";

Methods for defining a new table:

Table definitions

_file _field

_field

_field

_field

_field

One _field record (row) for each field (column) of a table

The _* tables live in the Schema Area. Put yours elsewhere.

List Your Tables and Their Fields

output to tables.txt.for each _file where (0 < _file-num):

put _file-name skip. for each _field of _file: put “ “ _field-name skip. end. put “” skip.end.output close.

Index definitions

_file _index _index-field

_index-field

_index-field

_index-field

One _index record for each index of a table

One _index-field record for each key component of an index

_index

List indexes and key components by table

output to index.txt.for each _file where (0 < _file-num): put _file-name skip. for each _index of _file: put " " _index-name skip. for each _index-field of _index: find _field where recid (_field) = _field-recid. put " " _field-name skip. end. end. put "" skip.end.output close.

Where do the default values go?

the template record

Each table has a template record

Column values in the template become the default values

Template records NOT stored with schema metadata

• go in table's home area or schema area (v11)

• have to read from database to get template

TODAY and NOW defaults replaced with current values

CREATE a new row in a 4GL program

create customer.

CREATE a new row in a 4GL program

create customer.

what happens?

we read template record from database(if we don't have it already)

client buffer is filled with a copy of the template record

current values inserted for TODAY, NOW

no write to database – db knows nothing about the create at this point.

Database Pages (Blocks)

Database divided into fixed-size blocks or “pages” Adjacent pages form clusters Different kinds of pages store different kinds of data Disk i/o done in page size units Each page has unique identifier – its “dbkey”

Newly created row is stored in some row data block and assigned an available directory entry.

Other ways records are born

sql:

INSERT INTO customer (cust-no, name street, city, state) VALUES (642, 'gus', '14 oak park', 'bedford', 'ma');

sql:

INSERT INTO customer (cust-no, name street, city, state) SELECT . . . FROM . . . WHERE . . . ;

Things to consider

When record is sent to database before all the values are assigned, one database operation

• create

becomes several

• create

• update

• update

• etc.

The record expands as more values are assigned

• fragmentation will occur

READ

find customer where cust-num = 3447.

© 2013 Progress Software Corporation. All rights reserved.33 Birth, Death, Infinity

READ

Compiler determines index to use (perhaps cust-num)• R-code has index information• Query used to form equality or range bracket

At runtime, load schema cache into memory Look up the table number (# 3) Find _storage-object records for table #3 (for tenant #t) Look up the index number (# 113) Find _storage-object records for index #113 (for tenant #t) Load into “om cache” so we can use again (set -omsize) Get location of index root block from _storage-object Traverse index b-tree to leaf, perhaps cust-num = 3447 Get row's rowid 9006 from index leaf block Get share lock on row 9006 Read data block(s) containing row fragments Copy row fragments to 4GL buffer or network buffer

Deleting

do transaction:

delete customer.

end.end.

Deleting (sql)

delete from customer where city = "Boston";

Update other data blocks

Indexes have to be updated too

After each record delete

• delete existing index entry for "Boston"

• delete all the other index entries too

For unique index entries, replace with a reservation (placeholder)

• the key value cannot be used until deleting transaction commits

How can a row live after death ?

Life after death

Your records live on forever in:

• Backup archives

• Archived after-image extents

• Audit data

• Archived audit data

• Binary dump files

• Reports

• Dropbox

• etc.

If you have any of these, where? Can you find a specific record?

Are the data encrypted? Where are the keys ?

Can we subpeona your records ? We may.
