Table Joins Solution
Assignment Overview
"In this assignment you will write a program that allows a database user to make queries over multiple tables. That is, you will implement table joins using techniques we discussed in the class. This assignment assumes the metadata and data manipulations on singular tables are already available, which should have been provided (implemented) in the rst two programming assignments."
Implementation
This database metadata management application is implemented using Python 3, and allows for the creation, deletion, and altering of databases and tables. Databases are created as subdirectories within the `databases` directory in the root of the repository. Within those directories, tables are created with the format:
```
attribute_name1 attribute_type1 | attribute_name2 attribute_type2
value1 | value2
```
Attributes that are selected from tables are loaded into table reader objects and are iterated over to compare to other tables. The joined rows are then formatted for output.
Usage
**REQUIRES PYTHON 3.6**
The program can be run with: `python3.6 app.py`
For cleaner output when redirecting from a file, it is recommended to use `python3.6 app.py -s < filename`
The following commands can be used:
```
CREATE DATABASE <database name;
CREATE TABLE <table name(<attributes);
USE <database name;
INSERT into <table name values(<values);
UPDATE <table name SET <attribute = <value WHERE <attribute = <value;
SELECT <attribute, * FROM <table name;
DELETE from <table name WHERE <attribute = <value;
DROP DATABASE <database name;
DROP TABLE <table name;
ALTER <table name ADD <attribute_name <attribute_type;
.EXIT
--<Comment
```
Sample Input
```
CREATE DATABASE CS457_PA2;
USE CS457_PA2;
CREATE TABLE Product (pid int, name varchar(20), price float);
--Insert new data (20 points)
insert into Product values(1, 'Gizmo', 19.99);
insert into Product values(2, 'PowerGizmo', 29.99);
insert into Product values(3, 'SingleTouch', 149.99);
insert into Product values(4, 'MultiTouch', 199.99);
insert into Product values(5, 'SuperGizmo', 49.99);
select * from Product;
--Modify data (20 points)
update Product
set name = 'Gizmo'
where name = 'SuperGizmo';
update Product
set price = 14.99
where name = 'Gizmo';
select * from Product;
--Delete data (20 points)
delete from product
where name = 'Gizmo';
delete from product
where price 150;
select * from Product;
--Query subsets (10 points)
select name, price
from product
where pid != 2;
.exit
```
