Assignment for Reference
• Menu Bar
Set of options available in Visual Basic grouped as File, Edit, View and so on.The menu options
are displayed when the user click on the individual menu. The underlined alphabet in the menu
name indicates the shortcut of the menu. E.g. the File menu options can be displayed either by
a mouse click on it or using combination Alt + F.
• Context Menu OR Pop-up Menu
The context or the Pop Up Menu is displayed when the user Right Click on the certain object.
The context menu can be used to quickly perform the desired actions without accessing the Menu
options or using the toolbar. E.g. When the user right click on the form a context menu id
displayed with the options like cut,copy, paste etc.
• Toolbar
It is displayed just below the Menu Bar in the Visual Basic Environment. It displays a sequence
of buttons. The options available in the toolbar are available in the menus. It might be time
consuming to access the menu items, instead of that the tool bar buttons can be clicked in less
time to perform the desired operation. E.g. To save a file using a menu the steps may be to open
the options in the FILE menu and select the SAVE option, instead of that the user can easily click
on the save button on the Standard toolbar.
• Project Explorer Window
It offers the list of all the elements of the project. A project is the collection of the files you use
to build an application. User can refer the individual items in the VB Environment project using
the Project Explorer Window. By default it is displayed on the Right hand of the form.
• Toolbox
It provides a set of standard tools that you can use at design time to place controls on a form.
Controls can be added to the toolbox with the components option from the project menu.
• Properties window
List of the property settings for the selected form or control either in an alphabetic or categorized
order. The window is divided in two columns, the left column displays the property names while
the right column displays the default property values. The user can set the property values at the
Design Time using properties window.
• Form Designer
It serves as container to hold/place controls, graphics, and pictures. It works as a window for
designing the interface of application to create the look which wants.The list of all the form
designers is displayed in the Project Explorer Window.

Creating Your First Application
Steps to create a new project in VB.NET:• On the File menu, click New Project to display the Create Project dialog box.
• In the New Project dialog box, select the type of project.(Standard Exe)
• Click OK.
Executing the project
There are several ways to execute a project.

2.3. THEORY
Assignment for Reference:Creating first VB.NET Application
• Click Run from the menu bar → Select Start.
OR
• Press F5 key from the keyboard.
OR
• Click on the Start button from the tool bar.
As soon as the project is executed, the form set as the start up object is displayed.
How an event driven application works.
Event is an action recognized by a form or control. Event-driven applications execute Basic code in
response to an event. Each form & control in VB has a predefined set of events. If one of these
events occurs & there is code in the associated event procedure, VB invokes that code. Objects in VB
automatically recognize a predefined set of events. A section of code-an event procedure corresponds
to each event. The types of events recognized by an object vary, but many types are common to most
controls.
Sequence of events in an event driven application:
• The application starts & a form is loaded and displayed.
• The form receives an event.
• If there is code in the corresponding event procedure, it executes.
• The application waits for the next event.
2.3.2
Important Controls in VB.NET
1. Text box control
It is the standard control for accepting input from the user as well as to display the output. It can
handle string (text) and numeric data but not images or pictures.The text property of the text
box can be used to access the contents of the text box control. It can be used to enter the single
line text or the multi line text into it. The user can edit, select, cut or copy the contents of the
text box.
2. Command button
The command button is one of the most important controls as it is used to execute commands. It
displays an illusion that the button is pressed when the user click on it. The most common event
associated with the command button is the Click event, and the syntax for the procedure is as
follows

3. Labels
The label is a very useful control for Visual Basic, as it is not only used to provide instructions
and guides to the users, it can also be used to display outputs.
4. Check Box
The Check Box control lets the user selects or unselects an option. When the Check Box is checked,
its value is set to 1 and when it is unchecked, the value is set to 0. You can include the statements
Check1.Value=1 to mark the Check Box and Check1.Value=0 to unmark the Check Box, as well
as use them to initiate certain actions.
5. Combo Box
The function of the Combo Box is also to present a list of items where the user can click and select
the items from the list. However, the user needs to click on the small arrowhead on the right of
the combo box to see the items which are presented in a drop-down list. In order to add items to
the list, you can also use the AddItem method.
6. Option Button
The Option Box control also lets the user selects one of the choices. However,two or more Option
Boxes must work together because as one of the Option Boxes is selected, the other Option Boxes
will be unselected. In fact, only one Option Box can be selected at one time. When an option box
is selected, its value is set to True and when it is unselected; its value is set to False.
7. List Box
The function of the List Box is to present a list of items where the user can click and select the
items from the list. In order to add items to the list, we can use the AddItem method.
The items in the list box can be identified by the ListIndex property, the value of the ListIndex
for the first item is 0, the second item has a ListIndex 1, and the second item has a ListIndex 2
and so on.
8. Scrollbar Control
A Scrollbar Control is a VB control containing a thumb. We can move the scrollbar by dragging
it, clicking the mouse to either side of the scrollbar , or using the keyboard. It is used to select a
discrete value or a set of consecutive values in a range.
There are 2 types of scrollbars:
Horizontal and vertical scrollbar i.e. HScroll and VScroll

Creating variables in VB.NET
Variable is a storage area of the computer’s memory.
Simple Example:
Figure 2.1: Creation of Variables in VB.NET
A breakdown of the variable Declaration:
Dim
Short for dimension. It’s a type of variable. You declare (or ”tell” Visual Basic) that you are setting up
a variable with this word.
number1
This is a variable. After the Dim word, Visual Basic is looking for the name of your variable.
As Integer
We’re telling Visual Basic that the variable is going to be a number (integer).
One can declare a variable using the Dim, Private, Public, or Static keyword.
The scope rules are simple as follows:
• Use of Dim inside a procedure to declare a local (dynamic) variable, which is visible only inside
that procedure.
• Use of Dim or Private outside procedure blocks,but inside a Class or Module block to create
variables that can be accessed from anywhere inside that class or module but not from elsewhere
in the project.
• Use of Public inside a Module block to create global variables.that is, variables that exist for the
entire programfor lifetime and that can be accessed from anywhere in the current project(i.e.from
one form to the other within entire project/application)
• Use Public inside a Class block to create a public field for that class.
• Use the Static keyword to declare static variables inside a procedure.
The following piece of code demonstrates the five types of variables:

Basic concepts of ER Diagram: Various types of attributes,Relationship
sets, Mapping cardinalities.
A database can be modeled as a collection of entities and relationship among Entities:
Entity: It is an object that exists and is distinguishable from other objects. Example: specific person,
company, event, plant
Entity set: An entity set is a set of entities of the same type that share the same properties. Example:
set of all persons, companies, trees, holidays etc.
Attributes: Entities have properties which are known as attributes.
Example: People have names and addresses Attributes can be of following types:

5.3. THEORY
ER/EER Diagram
1. Simple: eg. Roll no
2. Composite attributes:. eg Name,Address
3. Single-valued: Roll No
4. Multi-valued attributes: eg. Phone-numbers
5. Derived attributes: Can be computed from other attributes
E.g. Age, Given date of birth.
Relationship: A relationship is an association among several entities
Example: Glass is a part of Window.
Here,one can see ‘IS-A’ kind of relationship.
Mapping Cardinalities
Express the number of entities to which another entity can be associated via a relationship set. Most
useful in describing binary relationship sets. For a binary relationship set the mapping cardinality must
be one of the following types:
1. One to one
2. One to many
3. Many to one
4. Many to many

5.3.4
Conversion of ER diagram to tables
Primary keys allow entity sets and relationship sets to be expressed uniformly as tables which represent
the contents of the database.
A database which conforms to an E-R diagram can be represented by a collection of tables. For each
entity set and relationship set there is a unique table which is assigned the name of the corresponding entity set or relationship set. Each table has a number of columns (generally corresponding to attributes),
which have unique names.
Converting an E-R diagram to a table format is the basis for deriving a relational database design from
an E-R diagram.A strong entity set reduces to a table with the same attributes.
Ex. Customer(customer-id, customer-name, customer-street, customer-city)Schema can be reduced as
shown in following figure:

Theory
Introduction to SQL:
The Structured Query Language (SQL) comprises one of the fundamental building blocks of modern
database architecture. SQL defines the methods used to create and manipulate relational databases on
all major platforms.
SQL comes in many flavors. Oracle databases utilize their proprietary PL/SQL.Microsoft SQL Server
makes use of Transact-SQL. However, all of these variations are based upon the industry standard ANSI
SQL.
SQL commands can be divided into three main types.
1. Data Definition Language
2. Data Manipulation Language
3. Data Control Language
23
6.3. THEORY
6.3.2
Creation of database tables from ER Diagrams using SQL
DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE(DDL)
It contains the commands used to create and destroy databases and database objects. These commands
will primarily be used by database administrators during the setup and removal phases of a database
project.
DDL Commands:
a) Create table command :
Syntax
CREATE TABLE table_name
(
column_name1 data_type(size),
column_name2 data_type(size),
.......
)
Example:
This example demonstrates how one can create a table named “Person”, with four columns. The column
names will be“LastName”, “FirstName”, “Address”, and “Age”.
CREATE TABLE Person
( LastName varchar,
FirstName varchar,
Address varchar,
Age int );
Creating table from another (existing table) table:
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE tablename
[(columnname,columnaname)]]
AS SELECT columnname,columnaname
FROM tablename;
b) Alter table command:
Once table is created within a database, one may wish to modify the definition of that table.The ALTER
command allows to make changes to the structure of a table without deleting and recreating it.
Syntax:
Lab Manual - ISDL
24
Prof.Patil P.M&Prof.Shah S. K. VPCOE, Baramati
6.3. THEORY
Creation of database tables from ER Diagrams using SQL
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD (newcolumn_name1 data_type(size),
newcolumn_name2 data_type(size), .......);
Example:
ALTER TABLE personal_info
ADD salary money null;
This example adds a new attribute to the personal
info table i.e. an employee’s salary. The “money”
argument specifies that an employee’s salary will be stored using a dollars and cents format. Finally, the
“null” keyword tells the database that it’s OK for this field to contain no value for any given employee.
c. Drop table command:
DROP command allows us to remove entire database objects from our DBMS. For example, if we want
to permanently remove the personal
info table that we created, one’d use the following command:
Syntax:
DROP TABLE table_name;
Example:
DROP TABLE personal_info;
6.3.3
DATA INTEGRITY
Enforcing data integrity ensures the quality of the data in the database. For example, if an employee is
entered with an employee
id value of “123”, the database should not allow another employee to have
an ID with the same value.
Two important steps in planning tables are to identify valid values for a column and to decide how to
enforce the integrity of the data in the column. Data integrity falls into four categories:
• Entity integrity
• Domain integrity
• Referential integrity
• User-defined integrity
There are several ways of enforcing each type of integrity as shown in figure:
ENTITY INTEGRITY:
Entity integrity defines a row as a unique entity for a particular table. Entity integrity enforces the integrity of the identifier column(s) or the primary key of a table (through indexes, UNIQUE constraints,

PRIMARY KEY constraints, or IDENTITY properties).
DOMAIN INTEGRITY:
Domain integrity is the validity of entries for a given column. You can enforce domain integrity by
restricting the type (through data types), the format (through CHECK constraints and rules), or the
range of possible values (through FOREIGN KEY constraints, CHECK constraints, DEFAULT definitions, NOT NULL definitions, and rules).
REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY:
Referential integrity preserves the defined relationships between tables when records are entered or
deleted. In Microsoft SQL Server, referential integrity is based on relationships between foreign keys
and primary keys or between foreign keys and unique keys. Referential integrity ensures that key values
are consistent across tables. Such consistency requires that there be no references to nonexistent values
and that if a key value changes, all references to it change consistently throughout the database.
1. PRIMARY KEY CONSTRAINT:
Definition:- The primary key of a relational table uniquely identifies each record in the table. A
primary key constraint ensures no duplicate values are entered in particular columns and that
NULL values are not entered in those columns.
2. NOT NULL CONSTRAINT:
This constraint ensures that NULL values are not entered in those columns.

3. UNIQUE CONSTRAINT:
This constraint ensures that no duplicate values are entered in those columns.
4. CHECK CONSTRAINT:
The CHECK constraint enforces column value restrictions. Such constraints can restrict a column,
for example, to a set of values, only positive numbers, or reasonable dates.
5. FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINT:
Foreign keys constrain data based on columns in other tables. They are called foreign keys because
the constraints are foreign–that is, outside the table.
For example,
Suppose a table contains customer addresses, and part of each address is a United States two-character
state code. If a table held all valid state codes, a foreign key constraint could be created to prevent a
user from entering invalid state codes.
To create a table with different types of constraints:
SYNTAX:
CREATE TABLE table_name
(
column_name1 data_type [constraint],
column_name2 data_type [constraint],
.......
)
Example:
Create table customer
( customer-name char(20) not null,
customer-street char(30),
customer-city char(30),
primary key ( customer-name));
create table branch
( branch-name char(15) not null,
branch-city char(30),
assets number,
primary key ( branch-name));
create table account
( branch-name char(15),

6.3.4
SELECT Command
The SELECT command is the most commonly used command in SQL. It allows database users to
retrieve the specific information they desire from an operational database.
Syntax:
SELECT A1,A2..
FROM tablename
WHERE predicate
A1, A2 is the list of attributes and predicate is the condition which must be satisfied by the resulting
rows.
Example:
Following command displays list of all last names in personal
info table :
SELECT last_name
FROM personal_info
The command shown below retrieves all of the information contained within the personal
info table.
The asterisk is used as a wildcard in SQL. This means ”Select everything(all records) from the personal
info table.”
SELECT * FROM personal_info;
Finally, the WHERE clause can be used to limit the records that are retrieved to those that meet specified criteria. If some one is interested in reviewing the personnel records of all highly paid employees.
The following command retrieves all of the data contained within personal
info for records that have
a salary value greater than 50,000:
SELECT * FROM account
WHERE balance > 50000

Introduction to database Joins
Sometimes we have to select data from two or more tables to make our result complete. We have to
perform a join. Tables in a database can be related to each other with keys.
In the “Employees” table shown below, the “Employee ID” column is the primary key,meaning that no
two rows can have the same Employee ID. The Employee ID distinguishes two persons even if they have
the same name.
• The “Employee ID” column is the primary key of the “Employees” table
• The “Prod ID” column is the primary key of the “Orders” table
• The “Employee ID” column in the “Orders” table is used to refer to the persons in the “Employees”
table without using their names

Study and implementation of SQL
queries operators and clauses
9.1
Problem Statement
Implement SQL queries using standard Operators like (ALL, IN, BETWEEN,EXCEPT, LIKE) and by
making use of clauses in SQL.
9.2
9.2.1
Theory
LIKE CONDITION :
The LIKE condition allows to use wildcards in the where clause of an SQL statement. This allows to
perform pattern matching. The LIKE condition can be used in any valid SQL statement - select, insert,
update, or delete.
The patterns that can be chosen are:
% allows to match any string of any length (including zero length)
allows to match on a single character
Example 1:
To find all of the clients whose city begins with M.
SELECT *FROM client
WHERE name like ’M%’;

9.2. THEORY
Study and implementation of SQL queries operators and clauses
Example 2:
To find suppliers whose name does not start with ’M’.
SELECT *FROM client
WHERE name not like ’M%’;
Example 3:
To find all suppliers whose name is 6 characters long, where the first two characters is
’Mu’ and the last 3 characters is ’bai’.
SELECT *FROM client
WHERE name like Mu_bai;
9.2.2
IN CONDITION :
The IN function helps to reduce the need to use multiple OR conditions.
SYNTAX :
SELECT columns
FROM tables
WHERE column1 in (value1, value2, .... value_n);
This SQL statement will return the records where column1 is value1, value2..., or value_n.
The IN function can be used in any valid SQL statement - select, insert, update,or delete.
Example 1
SELECT *
FROM client
WHERE name in ( ’Mumbai’ , ’Delhi’, );
This would return all rows where the client city is either Mumbai or Delhi.
Example 2
SELECT *
FROM client
WHERE name not in ( ’Mumbai’);
This would return all rows where the client city is not Mumbai.

Study and implementation of SQL queries operators and clauses
BETWEEN CONDITION :
The BETWEEN condition allows to retrieve values within a range.
Syntax :
SELECT columns
FROM tables
WHERE column1 between value1 and value2;
This SQL statement will return the records where column1 is within the range of value1 and value2
(inclusive).
Example 1
SELECT *
FROM salesman
WHERE salary between 2500 AND 5000;
This would return all rows where the salesmen salary is between 2500 and 5000, inclusive.
Example 2
SELECT *
FROM salesman
WHERE salary not between 2500 and 5000;
9.2.4
EXISTS CONDITION :
The EXISTS condition is considered ”to be met” if the subquery returns at least one row.
SYNTAX:
SELECT columns
FROM tables
WHERE EXISTS ( subquery );
Example
SELECT *
FROM client
WHERE EXISTS
(select *

from sales
where sales.client_id = client.client_id);
This select statement will return all records from the client table where there is at least
one record in the sales table with the same client_id.
Example
SELECT *
FROM client
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(select *
from sales
where sales.client_id = client.client_id);
This select statement will return all records from the client table where there are
no records in the sales table with the same client_id.
9.2.5
GROUP BY CLAUSE:
The GROUP BY clause can be used in a SELECT statement to collect data across multiple records
and group the results by one or more columns.
SELECT column1, column2, ... column_n, aggregate_function
(expression)
FROM tables
WHERE predicates
GROUP BY column1, column2, ... column_n;
Where,aggregate_function can be a function such as sum,count,min,max.
Example
To return citywise data of clients.
SELECT client_id, name, SUM (salary) as "Total salary"
FROM client
GROUP BY city;

HAVING CLAUSE :
The HAVING clause is used in combination with the GROUP BY clause. It can be used in a SELECT
statement to filter the records that a GROUP BY returns.
Syntax:
SELECT column1, column2, ... column_n,
aggregate_function (expression)
FROM tables
WHERE predicates
GROUP BY column1, column2, ... column_n
HAVING condition1 ... condition_n;
Example
To return the name of the department and the total sales (in the associated department).
The HAVING clause will filter the results so that only departments with sales greater than
1000 will be returned.
SELECT department, SUM (sales) as "Total sales"
FROM order_details
GROUP BY department
HAVING SUM (sales) > 1000;
9.2.7
ORDER BY CLAUSE:
The ORDER BY clause allows you to sort the records in your result set. The ORDER BY clause can
only be used in SELECT statements. The ORDER BY clause sorts the result set based on the columns
specified. If the ASC or DESC value is omitted, the system assumed ascending order.
Syntax:
SELECT columns
FROM tables
WHERE predicates
ORDER BY column ASC/DESC;
Where,ASC indicates ascending order. (default)
DESC indicates descending order.

Theory
11.2.1
PL/SQL Cursors Types :
Implicit Cursors :
Implicit cursors are automatically created and used by Oracle every time you issue a select statement
in PL/SQL. If you use an Implicit cursors, Oracle will perform the open, fetches, and close for you
automatically. Implicit cursors are used in statements that return only one row. If the SQL statement
returns more than one row, an error will occur.
In the following PL/SQL code block, the select statement makes use of an implicit cursor:
Example:
Begin
Update emp Set empno=empno Where 1=2;
Dbms_output.put_line(sql%rowcount ||’ ’|| ’ rows are affected by the update statement’);
End;
Cursor For loops
Normally when you use explicit cursors, cursors have to be opened, the data has to be fetched, and
49
11.2. THEORY
Creation and Execution of Triggers and Cursors in PL/SQL
finally the cursor needs to be closed. A cursor for loop automatically performs the open, fetch, and close
procedures, which simplifies your job.
Example:
Declare Cursor emp_cursor
is Select empno, ename,sal From emp;
V_emp emp%RowType;
Begin
For emp_info IN emp_cursor
LOOP
Dbms_output.put_line (’Employee id : ’||emp_info.empno||’Employee name : ’||
emp_info.ename||’Employee salary:’||emp_info.sal);
End LOOP;
End;
Explicit Cursors
Explicit cursors are created by the programmer, and with these you can do operations on a set of rows,
which can be processed one by one. You use explicit cursors when you are sure that the SQL statement
will return more than one row. You have to declare an explicit cursors in the declare section at the
beginning of the PL/SQL block. Once you declare your cursor, the explicit cursors will go through these
steps:
1. Declare. This clause initializes the cursor into memory.
2. Open the previously declared cursor is now open and memory is allotted.
3. Fetch The previously declared and opened cursor can now access data;
4. Close The previously declared, opened, and fetched cursor is closed , which also releases memory
allocation.
Example:
Declare Cursor empcursor(empn in number) Is
select * from emp where empno=empn;
Empvar emp%rowtype;
Begin
Dbms_output.put_line(’Getting records for employee no. 7521’);

Triggers
Triggers are simply stored procedures that are ran automatically by the database whenever some event
(usually a table update) happens. We wont spend a great deal of time talking about how to write
triggers, because if you know how to write stored procedures, you already know how to write triggers.
What we will discuss is how to set them up to be executed whenever something happens to the table.

Triggers are basically PL/SQL procedures that are associated with tables, and are called whenever a
certain modification (event) occurs. The modification statements may include INSERT, UPDATE, and
DELETE.
