Data Engine for Database Developer: Introduction to SQL

SQL Server, a data engine introduced by Microsoft, lies at the core of data Management solution of an organization. It allows secure, efficient storage and Management of data. SQL database Server also provides other components and Services that support the business intelligence platform to generate reports and facilitate Data analysis used by database developer.

Every organization needs to maintain information related to employees, Customers or Business partners. Organizations build business applications either to store and manipulate the information or to generate reports. In addition, they need a platform that can be used to store and maintain these information in an efficient way. Various database management systems (DBMS) and relational database Management system (RDBMS) such as SQL Server 2005, Oracle and Sybase can be used to maintain this information.
How to install SQL Server
It is important for a database developer to identify the role of a database server in an organization, to effectively design and implement database solutions by using SQL Server, to identify its components and services. In Addition, you need to understand the basics of SQL, a language that is used to query and manage data.

Role of a Database Server

Earlier, organizations used to store the data on paper. With an increase in the usage of computers, they began building and using business applications to support the business operations.

The business applications accept data/information as input, process the data based on business requirements and provide data/information as output. For example, an application that maintains the sales details for an organization, accepts the details of the sales transaction from the users. The data is saved and an output message will display confirming that the data has been saved.

For example, the Human Resource department of an organization uses an application to manage employee’s data. The users need to add the details of new employees. The application provides an interface to enter the employee details. These details are validated for accuracy based on business rules. A business rule is defined to check that the date of joining of the new employee is less than or equal to the current date. If the data meets the requirements, it is saved in the data store.

How to Edit Columns in SQL Server Binding: Windows Froms

When we bind the data grid view with SQL Server database, then it will show all the columns created in the table of database. According to our previous post we have displayed all the records of table, without writing a single line of code.

Now in previous example all the columns are shown even the primary key of table. In this article we will remove those columns by some mouse clicks.

A datagridview tasks pop-up menu appears automatically, as shown in below image, click on Edit Columns link button.

How to Execute Parameterized SQL Statements: ADO.NET

As we know, SQL statements can be of simple type or may be parameterized. The parameterized query contains some parameters, which may be accepted through object of SqlParameter class. SqlParameter class is used to create the parameters used by the command object to execute the Sql queries.
Write the following code to select a record from the table groups which has a given name. The name is passed by the parameter i.e. Sql Parameter.
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection();
connection.ConnectionString = "Data Source= (LocalDb)\\v11.0; Initial Catalog=StockDb; Integrated Security=True";
connection.Open();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("select * from Groups where code=@code", connection);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@code", 04);
SqlDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader();

Look out the command object which have a variable name @code. It is the syntax of parameter used. In the next line, the parameter is added by using the function AddWithValue(). This method takes two parameter i.e. one for variable name (same as used in command object) and the second one is its value.

Now when we execute this code, a single record having code = 04 will be returned and can be accessed by data reader object dr.

We can check the rows as the same procedure as in previous post.

How to Execute SQL Statements: ADO.NET

We have learnt about ADO.NET object model. In that article we have created a SQL connection, open that connection and close that connection. To execute the SQL statements, we have to write them in between the open and close method of the above connection.

So to execute the SQL statement we have to, first create the connection, open that, write some code which will be executed and at the last execute it with ExecuteReader() method of SQLCommand class.

SqlCommand class is used to specify the Sql statement to be executed and the connection that need to be used. It can also be used to execute stored procedures. Following code will used to execute Sql statement in a command object:


SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection();
connection.ConnectionString = "Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0; Initial Catalog=StockDb; Integrated Security=True";
connection.Open();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("select * from Groups", connection);
SqlDataReader dr = command.ExecuteReader();

In the above code, when SqlCommand object will create, an object of SqlDataReader have been also created. And it is initialized with the function ExecuteReader(). Now all the data can be accessed one by one through dr object, one by one.

When we check the dataReader object through the breakpoint then there are some rows, as shown in following image:

How to open and close connections with ADO.NET

ADO.NET enables applications to connect to data sources and manipulate the data.  In ADO.NET object model, the data is retrieved through a data provider. An application can access data either through a dataset or a data reader.

You have to create a connection and then provide connection string, to move data between data source and an application. SqlConnection class is used to open a connection and also have some more methods:
  • ConnectionString: It is a property provides information like database name and data source.
  • Open (): used to open a connection. It Needs connection string to open a connection.
  • Close (): used to close an existing connection.
For example, the following code will create an object of SqlConnection class and then create a connection a connection string to the database in c# language.
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection();
connection.ConnectionString = “Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=StockDb; Integrated Security=True”;

Here in the above code i have used the connection string of database name "StockDb". After you have defined the connection string, you need to open the connection by using open() method as written below
connection.Open();

Do all your work related to database and at the last you have to close the connection using close() method as written below
connection.Close();

Difference Between SQL Server Database (SSD) and SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS)

SQL Server Database: SSD contain all the tables and data that created by SQL Server management Object. Like Triggers,Tables, and Stored procedure etc.

Diagrammatic View of SSD:




SQL Server Management Studio : SSMS is a client tool and not the server by itself
or you can about SSMS that developer machine (Clients) connects to SQL Server using SSMS
