  • Querying Graph Databases: What Do Graph Patterns Mean?
    Querying Graph Databases: What Do Graph Patterns Mean? Stephan Mennicke1( ), Jan-Christoph Kalo2, and Wolf-Tilo Balke2 1 Institut für Programmierung und Reaktive Systeme, TU Braunschweig, Germany [email protected] 2 Institut für Informationssysteme, TU Braunschweig, Germany {kalo,balke}@ifis.cs.tu-bs.de Abstract. Querying graph databases often amounts to some form of graph pattern matching. Finding (sub-)graphs isomorphic to a given graph pattern is common to many graph query languages, even though graph isomorphism often is too strict, since it requires a one-to-one cor- respondence between the nodes of the pattern and that of a match. We investigate the influence of weaker graph pattern matching relations on the respective queries they express. Thereby, these relations abstract from the concrete graph topology to different degrees. An extension of relation sequences, called failures which we borrow from studies on con- current processes, naturally expresses simple presence conditions for rela- tions and properties. This is very useful in application scenarios dealing with databases with a notion of data completeness. Furthermore, fail- ures open up the query modeling for more intricate matching relations directly incorporating concrete data values. Keywords: Graph databases · Query modeling · Pattern matching 1 Introduction Over the last years, graph databases have aroused a vivid interest in the database community. This is partly sparked by intelligent and quite robust developments in information extraction, partly due to successful standardizations for knowl- edge representation in the Semantic Web. Indeed, it is enticing to open up the abundance of unstructured information on the Web through transformation into a structured form that is usable by advanced applications.

In many of the previous chapters, you’ve seen examples of queries. Queries support several different types of subqueries, such as nested queries that run independently or T correlated nested queries. Correlated nested queries run with a dependency on the outer or containing query. This chapter shows you how to work with column returns from queries and how to join tables into multiple table result sets. Result sets are like tables because they’re two-dimensional data sets. The data sets can be a subset of one table or a set of values from two or more tables. The SELECT list determines what’s returned from a query into a result set. The SELECT list is the set of columns and expressions returned by a SELECT statement. The SELECT list defines the record structure of the result set, which is the result set’s first dimension. The number of rows returned from the query defines the elements of a record structure list, which is the result set’s second dimension. You filter single tables to get subsets of a table, and you join tables into a larger result set to get a superset of any one table by returning a result set of the join between two or more tables.

  • The JOIN Clause
    2.1 The JOIN Clause The Join Clause A JOIN clause allows you to access data from two or more tables in a query. A join links to tables on a common key between the two tables. Usually the primary key on one table is compared to the foreign key on another table using the equals ( = ) sign. This is an equijoin or an inner-join. However, other comparison operators are also valid. If column names from each table in the join have the same name, they must be qualified with the table name or a table alias. Below is a basic example of a SQL statement with an inner join clause using explicit syntax. 1 USE world; 2 SELECT city.name AS "City Name", 3 country.name AS "Country Name" 4 FROM country 6 JOIN city 5 ON city.CountryCode = country. Code; Learning MySQL By Example 1 You could write SQL statements more succinctly with an inner join clause using table aliases. Instead of writing out the whole table name to qualify a column, you can use a table alias. 1 USE world; 2 SELECT ci.name AS "City Name", 3 co.name AS "Country Name" 4 FROM city ci 5 JOIN country co 6 ON ci.CountryCode = co.Code; The results of the join query would yield the same results as shown below whether or not table names are completely written out or are represented with table aliases. The table aliases of co for country and ci for city are defined in the FROM clause and referenced in the SELECT and ON clause: Results: Learning MySQL By Example 2 Let us break the statement line by line: USE world; The USE clause sets the database that we will be querying.

Often, small variations of SQL need to be generated based on some parameters. SqlRender offers a simple markup syntax inside the SQL code to allow parameterization. Rendering the SQL based on parameter values is done using the render() function. 2.1 Substituting parameter values The @ character can be used to indicate parameter names that need to be exchange for actual parameter values when rendering. In the following example, a variable called a is mentioned in the SQL. In the call to the render function the value of this parameter is defined: sql <- "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = @a;" render(sql,a= 123) 1 ## [1] "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = 123;" Note that, unlike the parameterization offered by most database management systems, it is

  • SQL Joins Cheat Sheet
    SQL JOINs Cheat Sheet JOINING TABLES LEFT JOIN JOIN combines data from two tables. LEFT JOIN returns all rows from the left table with matching rows from the right table. Rows without a match are filled with NULLs. LEFT JOIN is also called LEFT OUTER JOIN. TOY CAT toy_id toy_name cat_id cat_id cat_name SELECT * toy_id toy_name cat_id cat_id cat_name 1 ball 3 1 Kitty FROM toy 5 ball 1 1 Kitty 2 spring NULL 2 Hugo LEFT JOIN cat 3 mouse 1 1 Kitty 3 mouse 1 3 Sam ON toy.cat_id = cat.cat_id; 1 ball 3 3 Sam 4 mouse 4 4 Misty 4 mouse 4 4 Misty 2 spring NULL NULL NULL 5 ball 1 whole left table JOIN typically combines rows with equal values for the specified columns.Usually , one table contains a primary key, which is a column or columns that uniquely identify rows in the table (the cat_id column in the cat table). The other table has a column or columns that refer to the primary key columns in the first table (thecat_id column in RIGHT JOIN the toy table). Such columns are foreign keys. The JOIN condition is the equality between the primary key columns in returns all rows from the with matching rows from the left table. Rows without a match are one table and columns referring to them in the other table. RIGHT JOIN right table filled withNULL s. RIGHT JOIN is also called RIGHT OUTER JOIN.

Explain what the 4 major components of the Database course are, why they’re important, and how they relate to each other. Within MIS, there are 3 courses that help teach students the basics of Databases and their structure; Systems Analysis and Design, Database I and Database II. These classes provide 4 major components which are Relational Databases, • Relational Database – Strictly defined, a relational database is “structured to recognize relations among stored items of information.” This is simply a table that displays data into columns and rows while maintaining the connection between attributes or tuples. This table is also a great way to visually reaffirm relationships between tables and see the database in its fullest form. Personally, I have experienced it many times where my Professor would lecture us on the data in a table and I would understand the concepts he was talking about but could not wrap my head around some of the logic behind it. Having a visual aid such as a relational database really helped me understand some of the core mechanics in a database and laid the foundation for learning more about databases. • Structured Query Language (SQL) – There are many computer languages for a database application development project, but MIS courses heavily rely on SQL as the starting language for aspiring Data Scientists. SQL was first released around the mid-1970s but has maintained its popularity and usability to this day.
