Ketika membuat program aplikasi dengan bahasa pemrograman Java yang mengakses ke basis data [database], Anda dapat menggunakan berbagai jenis basis data. Salah satu basis data yang bisa Anda gunakan adalah MySQL. Agar program aplikasi Java dapat terkoneksi ke basis data MySQL, diperlukan JDBC Driver untuk MySQL. JDBC Driver dari MySQL disebut dengan MySQL Connector/J.
Sebelum membuat program aplikasi basis data dengan Java, MySQL Connector/J harus sudah diinstal dengan benar di sistem komputer, bila belum, Anda dapat menggunakan petunjuk instalasi MySQL Connector/J di artikel ini. Bila Anda belum memiliki MySQL JDBC Driver [MySQL Connector/J], Anda dapat mengunduh [download] MySQL JDBC Driver dari website resmi MySQL untuk Connertor/J.
Di laman web yang terbuka, Anda dapat menemukan file mysql-connector-java-5.1.36.msi. Untuk kemudahan instalasi, unduh mysql-connector-java-5.1.36 yang berekstensi .zip. Untuk mendapatkan, di kotak daftar tarik turun berlabel Select Platform, pilih Platform Independent. Anda akan menemukan dua ekstensi file yaitu .zip dan .gz. Unduh file mysql-connector-java-5.1.36.zip dengan mengklik tombol Download yang ada di posisi kanan.
Ekstrak file yang telah diunduh. Dari hasil ekstrak file, Anda akan menemukan file dengan nama menyerupai “mysql-connector-java-5.1.36-bin.jar” [winRAR archive]. Salin file tersebut ke direktori instalasi Java dan tempatkan di folder “C:\Program Files\Java\ jdk1.8.0_45\jre\lib\ext”.
Tambahkan path yang mengacu ke file berekstensi .jar tersebut ke CLASSPATH di System Variables. Karena “%JAVA HOME%” mewakili path “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45” [baca artikel Instalasi Dan Konfigurasi Java Di Windows], maka di dalam kontak teks Variable Value cukup diisi dengan “%;JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-5.1.36-bin.jar”.
A relational database organizes data in tables. A table has rows [or records] and columns [or fields]. Tables are related based on common columns to eliminate data redundancy and ensure data integrity.
Popular Relationship Database Management System [RDBMS] includes:
- the commercial Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server and Access, SAP Hana.
- the open-source MySQL, PostgreSQL, mariaDB, Embedded Apache Derby [Java DB], mSQL [mini-SQL], SQLite, Apache OpenOffice's Base, and mongoDB [non-relational].
Structure Query Language [SQL]
A high-level programming language, called Structure Query Language [SQL], is designed for interacting with the relational databases. SQL defines a set of commands, such as
// Change directory to the MySQL's binary directory // Suppose that your MySQL is installed in "c:\myWebProject\mysql" c: cd \myWebProject\mysql\bin // Initialize the database. Create a root user with random password. Show the messages on console mysqld --initialize --console ...... ...... [Note] A temporary password is generated for root@localhost: xxxxxxxx6,
// Change directory to the MySQL's binary directory // Suppose that your MySQL is installed in "c:\myWebProject\mysql" c: cd \myWebProject\mysql\bin // Initialize the database.

XXXXXX XX:XX:XX [Note] mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '8.0.xx' socket: '' port: 3306 MySQL Community Server [GPL]1, and etc.
Edgar F. Codd of IBM proposed the Relational Database Model in 1970. SQL, one of the earlier programming language, was subsequently developed by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce at IBM in the early 1970s. Oracle, subsequently, took it to a new height.
ANSI [American National Standard Institute] established the first SQL standard in 1986 [SQL-86 or SQL-87] - adopted by ISO/IEC as "ISO/IEC 9075" - followed in 1989 [SQL-89], 1992 [SQL-92 or SQL2], 1999 [SQL-99 or SQL3], 2003 [SQL:2003], 2006 [SQL:2006], 2011 [SQL:2011] and 2016 [SQL:2016]. However, most of the database vendors have their own directs, e.g., PL/SQL [Oracle], Transact-SQL [Microsoft, SAP], PL/pgSQL [PostgreSQL].
SQL By Examples
A relational database system organizes data in the following hierarchy:
- A relational database system contains many databases.
- A database comprises tables.
- A table have rows [or records] and columns [or fields].
Suppose we have a database called
-- Change the current directory to MySQL's binary directory -- Assume that the MySQL installed directory is "c:\myWebProject\mysql" c: cd \myWebProject\mysql\bin -- Start the MySQL Database Server mysqld --console ...... ...... XXXXXX XX:XX:XX [Note] mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '8.0.xx' socket: '' port: 3306 MySQL Community Server [GPL]2, a table called

- Case Sensitivity: SQL keywords, names [identifiers], strings may or may not be case-sensitive, depending on the implementation.
- In MySQL, the keywords are NOT case-sensitive. For clarity, I show the keywords in UPPERCASE in this article.
- For programmers, it is BEST to treat the names [identifiers] and strings as case-sensitive.
[In MySQL, column-names are always case insensitive; but table-names are case-sensitive in Unix, but case-insensitive in Windows [confused!!]. Case-sensitivity in string comparison depends on the collating sequence used [?!].]
- String: SQL strings are enclosed in single quotes. But most implementations [such as MySQL] accept both single and double quotes.
Introduction to MySQL Relational Database Management System [RDBMS]
SQL is a programming language for interacting with relational databases. On the other hand, MySQL is a software - a Relational Database Management System.
MySQL is one of the most used, industrial-strength, open-source and free Relational Database Management System [RDBMS]. MySQL was developed by Michael "Monty" Widenius and David Axmark in 1995. It was owned by a Swedish company called MySQL AB, which was bought over by Sun Microsystems in 2008. Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle in 2010.
MySQL is successful, not only because it is free and open-source [there are many free and open-source databases, such as PostgreSQL, Apache Derby [Java DB], mSQL [mini SQL], SQLite and Apache OpenOffice's Base], but also for its speed, ease of use, reliability, performance, connectivity [full networking support], portability [run on most OSes, such as Unix, Windows, macOS], security [SSL support], small size, and rich features. MySQL supports all features expected in a high-performance relational database, such as transactions, foreign key, replication, subqueries, stored procedures, views and triggers.
MySQL is often deployed in a LAMP [Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP], WAMP [Windows-Apache-MySQL-PHP], or MAMP [macOS-Apache-MySQL-PHP] environment. All components in LAMP is free and open-source, inclusive of the Operating System.
The mother site for MySQL is //www.mysql.com. The ultimate reference for MySQL is the "MySQL Reference Manual", available at //dev.mysql.com/doc. The reference manual is huge - the PDF has over 3700 pages!!!
MySQL operates as a client-server system over TCP/IP network. The server runs on a machine with an IP address on a chosen TCP port number. The default TCP port number for MySQL is 3306. Users can access the server via a client program, connecting to the server at the given IP address and TCP port number.
MariaDBExtracted from Wiki: MariaDB is a community-developed, commercially supported fork of the MySQL relational database management system [RDBMS], intended to remain free and open-source software under the GNU General Public License. Development is led by some of the original developers of MySQL, who forked it due to concerns over its acquisition by Oracle Corporation in 2009.
How to Install MySQL 8.0 and Get Started with SQL Programming
I want you to install MySQL on your own machine, because I want you to learn how to install, customize and operate complex industrial software system. Installation could be the hardest part in this exercise.
Step 0: Create a directory to keep all your works
IMPORTANT: Before getting started, check that you have a few GBs of Free Spaces.
Create a directory to keep all your works called:
- [For Windows] "
XXXXXX XX:XX:XX [Note] mysqld: Normal shutdown ...... XXXXXX XX:XX:XX InnoDB: Starting shutdown... XXXXXX XX:XX:XX InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 0 44233 ...... XXXXXX XX:XX:XX [Note] mysqld: Shutdown complete [You may need to press ENTER to get the command prompt?!]
7". - [For macOS/Linux] "
XXXXXX XX:XX:XX [Note] mysqld: Normal shutdown ...... XXXXXX XX:XX:XX InnoDB: Starting shutdown... XXXXXX XX:XX:XX InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 0 44233 ...... XXXXXX XX:XX:XX [Note] mysqld: Shutdown complete [You may need to press ENTER to get the command prompt?!]
8" where "XXXXXX XX:XX:XX [Note] mysqld: Normal shutdown ...... XXXXXX XX:XX:XX InnoDB: Starting shutdown... XXXXXX XX:XX:XX InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 0 44233 ...... XXXXXX XX:XX:XX [Note] mysqld: Shutdown complete [You may need to press ENTER to get the command prompt?!]
9" denotes your home directory.
// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
Use your graphical interface, e.g., File Explorer [Windows], or Finder [macOS] to verify this directory. [Of course you can use your graphical interface to create this directory!]
For novices: It is important to follow this step. Otherwise, you will be out-of-sync with this article and will not be able to find your files later.

Step 4: Start a "Client"
Recall that the MySQL is a client-server system. Once the server is started, one or more clients can be connected to the database server. A client could be run on the same machine [local client]; or from another machine over the network [remote client].
To login to the MySQL server, you need to provide a username and password. During the installation, MySQL creates a superuser called "
-- Change the current directory to MySQL's binary directory. -- Assume that the MySQL is installed in "c:\myWebProject\mysql". c: cd \myWebProject\mysql\bin -- Start a client as superuser "root" [-u], and prompt for password [-p] mysql -u root -p Enter password: // Enter the root's password set during installation.

The prompt changes to "mysql>". -- You can now issue SQL commands such as SELECT, INSERT and DELETE.5" with a temporary password. I hope that you have taken note of this password! [Otherwise, re-install!]
The MySQL installation provides a command-line client program called "

Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. mysql> -- Client started. The prompt changes to "mysql>". -- You can now issue SQL commands such as SELECT, INSERT and DELETE.5".
First, make sure that the server is running. See previous step to re-start the server if it has been shutdown.
For Windows
Start Another NEW CMD shell to run the client [You need to keep the CMD that run the server]:

Step 6: Create a New User
The superuser "root" is privileged, which is meant for database administration and is not meant for operational. We shall create a new user - let's call it "

Tips on Client's Session [Come Back to this Section If You Get Stuck in Running Command]Before we proceed, here are some tips on using the client:
- You need to terminate your command with a semicolon [
// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
22], which sends the command to the server for processing. E.g.,// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
1 - A command can span several lines. The prompt for subsequent lines changes to
// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
23 to denote continuation. You need to terminate the command with a semicolon [// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
22]. E.g.,// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
2In other words, if you forget to type// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
25, you can type the// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
25 on the next line. - You can use
// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
27 to cancel [abort] the current command. E.g.,// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
3 - If you open a single/double quote, without closing it, the continuation prompt changes to
// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
28 or// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
29 [instead of// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
23]. For example,// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject
4 - You can also press Ctrl-C to abort the current command.
- You can use up/down arrow keys to retrieve the previous/next commands, from the "command history".
- [For Windows 10] You should enable Copy/Paste functions of CMD shell. To enable Copy/Paste, click the CMD's icon ⇒ Properties ⇒ Options ⇒ Edit Options ⇒ Check "Enable Ctrl key shortcuts". You can then use Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V for Copy/Paste.

Many-to-many Relationship
In a bookstore, a book is written by one or more authors; an author may write zero or more books. This is known as a many-to-many relationship. It is IMPOSSIBLE to capture many-to-many relationship in a SINGLE table [or one spreadsheet] with a fixed number of columns, without duplicating any piece of information! For example, if you organize the data in the table below, you will not know how many author columns to be used; and you need to repeat all the data for repeating authors.
The many-to-many relationship between books and authors can be modeled with 3 tables, as shown below. A
// For Windows: Use "C:\myWebProject" // Launch a "CMD" and issue these commands: c: cd \ mkdir myWebProject // For macOS: Use "~/myWebProject" [where "~" denotes your home directory] // Launch a "Terminal" and issue these commands: cd mkdir myWebProject49 table contains data about books [such as title and price]; an
