4.2
4.3
Make sure users see only the data they are supposed to see.
Guard the database against modifications by malicious users.
Users have privileges
Can only operate on data for which the are authorized Select on R Insert on R Update on R Delete on R
4.4
Apply(dec), Select(Sid)
Student select(SID,GPA)
4.5
4.6
How can we give the following privilege
Select students info for Stanford applications only Delete Berkeley applications only
4.7
Relation creator is owner
Owner has all privileges and may grant privileges
Grant privs on R to users
[with grant option]
4.8
Cascade: also revoke privileges granted from privileges being revoked transitively, unless also granted from another source
Restrict: disallow if cascade would revoke any other privileges
4.9
4.10
Two broad types of database activities
OLTP: Online Transaction Processing
Short transactions Simple queries Touch small portion of data Frequent updates
OLAP: Online Analytical Processing
Long transactions Complex queries Touch large portions of data Infrequent updates
4.11
Bring data from operational OLPT sources into a single warehouse for OLAP analysis
Decision Support System
Data warehouse tuned for OLAP
4.12
Fact table (relationships)
Updated frequently, very large
Sales transaction, course enrollment
Dimension tables (entities, objects)
Stores, items, customers Students, courses
4.13
4.14
Performance
Inherently very slow:
Special indexes Extensive use of materialized views
4.15
4.16
Dimension data form axes of Cube
Fact data in cells
Item Stores Customers
4.17
Assuming one quantity for that
Item Stores Customers Qty and price for I32, C4, s17
4.18
Usually have defined aggregate functions that are meaningful
Sum(qty * price)
Item Stores Customers Aggregate over all items for C5, s11
4.19
Usually have defined aggregate functions that are meaningful
Sum(qty * price)
Item Stores Customers Aggregate over all stores for I 61, C5, C21
4.20
Usually have defined aggregate functions that are meaningful
Sum(qty * price)
Item Stores Customers Aggregate over all customers for I 5, s13
4.21
Usually have defined aggregate functions that are meaningful
Sum(qty * price)
Item Stores Customers Aggregate over all customers and Items for s2 Aggregate over all stores and Items for c63 Aggregate over all stores and customers for I 52
4.22
Usually have defined aggregate functions that are meaningful
Sum(qty * price)
Item Stores Customers Full aggregation
