[s1; U`+`+ SQL&]
[s2; U`+`+ SQL Basics&]
[s3; Database Model&]
[s4; The database model is described by the user in schema (`".sch`")
files. The user models the database and U`+`+ SQL packages handle
the creation/modification of the database.&]
[s3; Schema description files (.sch) and sql script files (.sql)&]
[s4; Each database should be described in a schema description file,
which is a file with extension `".sch`" and . describes what
tables you want to have in the database. U`+`+ SQL packages will
take the schema, create `".sql`" script files from it (containing
DDL statements like `'create table`'...) and execute them against
the database to realize your database table structure (you do
not need to write sql statements, U`+`+ will generate them for
you.)&]
[s4; To add this file to your Upp package, make sure your package
is selected in the package list (located at the top`-left of
TheIDE), right`-click on the white`-space in the file list (underneath
the package list at bottom`-left), and select `"Insert package
directory file(s)`". Then give the new name of your file (eg.
`"MyDatabase.sch`") and click `"Open`". The new file will show
up in your file list. &]
[s3; SQL Create, Read, Update, Delete (CRUD)&]
[s4; The four basic functions of database storage are all supported,
with the ability to have U`+`+ generate the sql statements for
you. The SQL code written using U`+`+ acts as a supplement for
writing sql queries themselves. The code is much more descriptive
and easier to read than SQL. In fact, sql scripts and query strings
are generated by the U`+`+ SQL classes, and you can view the
generated queries with a simple method call.&]
[s3; Schema Update/Upgrade&]
[s4; The SQL packages also allow for database updates without losing
your stored data. The main purpose is to allow incremental development
of the model. This functionality is limited though, as it is
implemented using `"ALTER`" sql commands and does not support
removing columns or changing datatypes. Those functions have
to be done manually. &]
