Problem Description
Database Triggers are procedures that are stored in
the database and are explicitly executed (fired)
where the contents of a table are changed.
Triggers have 3 basic parts.
1. Trigger event: It is a SQL statement that
causes the trigger to be fired. It can insert,
delete or update statements for a specified
table.
2. Trigger restriction: It specifies a Boolean
(logical) expression that must be true for the
trigger to fire. It is specified using a where
clause.
3. Trigger action: It is a procedure that contains
the SQL statement and Pl / SQL code to be
executed when a triggering statement is
issued and the trigger restriction evaluation to
true.
Types of triggers
Row trigger: A row trigger is fired each time the
table is affected by a triggering statement. Eg: if an
update statement updates multiple rows of a table,
a row trigger is fired once for each row affected by
the update statement.
Statement trigger: A row trigger is fired once on
behalf of the triggering statement independent of the
number of rows the triggering statement affects.

time or the user.

FORM DESIGNING

Problem Definition
Creation of Forms using LibreOffice Base.

LibreOffice Base is a database management program, similar to Microsoft Access.

LibreOffice Base is a front end database manager that can be used to create forms and reports from a variety
of databases including MySql as well as others.

LibreOffice Base can be used to create small embedded databases when used with Java-based HSQLDB as its
storage engine (The LibreOffice Base default database). This makes LibreOffice Base appear as if it were a
database manager and the database, but it is not. LibreOffice Base is just the front end allowing us to tie into
the actual database.

Steps for creating a Form

The LibreOffice suite of tools includes a very powerful database application ─ one that happens to be incredibly
user-friendly. These databases can be managed/edited by any user and data can be entered by anyone using a
LibreOffice-generated form. These forms are very simple to create and can be attached to existing databases or
you can create both a database and a form in one fell swoop.

There are two ways to create LibreOffice Base forms:

❖ Form Wizard
❖ Design View.

Design view is a versatile drag and drop form creator that is quite powerful and allows you to add elements and
assign those elements to database tables. The Form Wizard is a very simple step-by-step wizard that walks the
user through the process of creating a form. Although the Wizard isn’t nearly as powerful as the Design View
─ it will get the job done quickly and doesn’t require any form of design experience.

For this entry, I will address the Form Wizard (in a later post, I will walk you through the more challenging
Design View). I will assume you already have a database created and ready for data entry. This database can
either be created with LibreOffice and reside on the local system or be a remote database of the format:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BE IV SEM(AICTE) 2020-2021
 PC 263 CS: DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS LAB
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Oracle JDBC
2. Spreadsheet
3. dBASE
4. Text
5. MySQL
6. ODBC.

For purposes of simplicity, we’ll go with a local LibreOffice Base-generated database. I’ve created a very
simple database with two tables to be used for this process. Let’s create a data entry form for this database.

Opening the database

The first step is to open LibreOffice Base. When the Database Wizard window appears (Figure 1), select
Open an existing database file, click the Open button, navigate to the database to be used, and click Finish

The next window to appear is the heart and soul of LibreOffice Base. Here in Figure you can manage
tables, run queries, create/edit forms, and view reports of the opened database.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BE IV SEM(AICTE) 2020-2021
 PC 263 CS: DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS LAB
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Click the Forms button in the left-side navigation and then double-click Use Wizard to Create Form under
Tasks.When the database opens in the Form Wizard, your first step is to select the fields available to the form.
You do not have to select all fields from the database. You can select them all or you can select as few as one.

If your database has more than one table, you can select between the tables in the Tables or queries drop-down
(NOTE: You can only select fields from one table in the database at this point). Select the table to be used and
then add the fields from the Available fields section to the Fields in the form section in the Figure 3.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BE IV SEM(AICTE) 2020-2021
 PC 263 CS: DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS LAB
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you’ve selected all the necessary fields, click Next. At this point, you can choose to add a subform. A
subform is a form-within-a-form and allows you to add more specific data to the original form. For example, you
can include secondary data for employee records (such as work history, raises, etc.) to a form. This is the point at
which you can include fields from other tables (besides the initial table selected from the Tables or queries drop-
down). If you opt to create a subform for your data, the steps include:

● Selecting the table

● Adding the fields
● Joining the fields (such as AuthorID to ID ─ Figure).

Arrange form controls

After all subforms are added, click Next to continue on. In the next step, you must arrange the controls of the
form. This is just another way of saying how you want the form to look and feel (where do you want the data
entry field to reside against the field label). You can have different layouts for forms and subforms .

Select data entry mode

Click Next when you’ve arranged your controls. The next step is to select the data entry mode (Figure 6). There
are two data entry modes:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BE IV SEM(AICTE) 2020-2021
 PC 263 CS: DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS LAB
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● Enter new data only
● Display all data.

If you want to use the form only as a means to enter new data, select Enter new data only. If, however, you know
you’ll want to use the form to enter and view data, select Display all data. If you go for the latter option, you will
want to select whether previously entered data can be modified or not. If you want to prevent write access to the
previous data, select Do not allow modification of existing data.

Make your selection and click Next. Start entering data

At this point you can select a style for your form. This allows you to pick a color and field border (no border, 3D
border, or flat). Make your selection and click Next.

The last step is to name your form. In this same window you can select the option, immediately begin working
with the form (Figure 7). Select that option and click Finish. At this point, your form will open and you can start
entering data.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BE IV SEM(AICTE) 2020-2021
 PC 263 CS: DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS LAB
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a form is created, and you’ve worked with and closed said form … how do you re-open a form to add more
data? Simple:

1. Open LibreOffice Base.

2. Open the existing database (in the same manner you did when creating the form).
3. Double-click the form name under Forms (Figure 8).
4. Start entering data.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 PC 263 CS: DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS LAB
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a final note, make sure, after you finish working with your forms, that you click File >
Save in the LibreOffice Base main window, to ensure you save all of your work.
You can create as many forms as you need with a single database ─ there is no limit to what
you can do.
If you’re looking to easily enter data into LibreOffice databases, creating user-friendly forms
is just a few steps away. Next time we visit this topic, we’ll walk through the Design View method of
form creation.
Reports

Reports give you the ability to present information from your database in an easy-to-read, visually appealing
printable format. For example, you can create a simple report of phone numbers for all your contacts, or a
summary report on the total sales across different regions and time periods. Base makes it easy to create and
customize a report using data from any query or table in your database.

Creating Reports

In LibreOffice Base you can create a Report using

● Create a Report in Design View. Create a report from scratch.

● Use Wizard to Create Report. The Wizard guides you through a step by step process to create the report.
Unlike tables and queries, creating a report from scratch can be difficult for beginners. Therefore this is
the recommended method for to quickly and easily create a report.

Select the Use Wizard to Create Report. The Wizard opens a dialog window. In the following example we will
generate a report that displays all book's title, author and publishing date. The results will be grouped by author.

Author and PublishingDate fields.

Step 2
The report generates a label for each field. By default Base chooses the field name for the label name. In our
example we change the "PublishingDate" field to "Publishing Date".

Step 3
A report can group the results by one or more fields. In our example we choose to group the results by Author.

Step 4
As with queries, the results in reports can be sorted. By default results are sorted by the group field (Author). You
can specify more levels of sorting. Leave the default values.

Step 5
In this step we choose the Layout for the data and the headers and footers of the report. Click on the available
options to preview each layout.

Step 6
Here we specify the title and the type of the report. A dynamic report generates data from the current table data.
This means that if we update data on the table that feeds the report, the report will change accordingly.

When you finish the wizard the report will be created and opened. The report is a text document and therefore it
opens using the Writer component of LibreOffice.

Managing a Report
To manage a Report first select the Reports Object from the Database Objects Pane and then select the report
from the Reports List. Use the Reports toolbar to Open, Edit, Delete or Rename a Report.

Editing a Report
A Report is basically a Writer document that acquires data from Base. Therefore you can edit a report like any
other Writer Document. For example you can change the alignment of the Publishing Date column. When you
edit a report you must save it using the Save Button from the Standard toolbar.

Task 5: Create forms and report for the student Information.

TABLE LOCKING

Drop user username;
Usage of file locking, table locking facilities in

Task: Create Password and security features for
employee database Problem Description

Oracle uses lock to control concurrent access to

data. Locks are mechanisms intended to prevent
destructive interaction between users accessing
the same data. Table locks lock the entire tables,
while row locks lock just selected rows. Thus
locks are used to ensure data integrity while
allowing max concurrent access to data by
unlimited users.
Locks are used to achieve two important goals. 1.

2. Oracle lock is fully automatic and requires no lock the whole table to selective update and to
user action .DBA locks the oracle data while allow other users to lock a row in the table but
executing SQL statements. This type of locking not lock the table in share mode or to update
is called implicit locking. When a lock is put by rows.

released under the following circumstances:
Two levels of lock that a DBA can apply. They

ROW SHARE Row share locks all concurrent
access to a table.

SHARE UPDATE They prohibit other users to

ROW EXCLUSIVE Row exclusive locks the

same as row share locks, but also prohibit locking
in share mode. These locks are acquired when
updating, inserting or deleting.
