Primary Key,Unique and Foreign Key Concept?




Primary Key:-

It is used to provide a unique and not null value to a particular column.
The primary key must be defined in Table.


Primary key will be one in one table and it is eligible for the foreign key to providing referential integrity constraint.


Create Table tablename(columnname datatype primary key,...)
Create Table tablename(columnname int primary key auto_increment,...)


.................................................................................................................................................

Unique:-

It is only used to define unique value, unique can be multiple in one table, a single null value will be allowed in unique key.

Create Table Tablename(columnname datayype unique)

.....................................................................................................................................................

Foreign key:-

The primary key of the Master table will be integrated into the child table to provide referential integrity constraint.

A foreign key can be repeatable and null.

Create table table1(col1 int primary key,...)   //Master Table

create table table2(col1 int primary key,col2 int foreign key references table1(col1));  //Child Table

Country and state table:-

countryid will be primary key and this countryid will be used in state table as a foreign key.

if we create foreign key then the foreign key column value will be dependent on primary key column value of the master table.


countryid  countryname
10              IND
20              USA
null            AUS   //wrong because null value not allowed
20              ENG   //wrong because primary key value should be unique



stateid statename countryid
101       MP          10

102       UP            10

103        AP          null

104        HP           40   //wrong because of 40 not present in the master table

Uncontrolled form input in React-JS

  Uncontrolled form input in React-JS? If we want to take input from users without any separate event handling then we can uncontrolled the data binding technique. The uncontrolled input is similar to the traditional HTML form inputs. The DOM itself handles the form data. Here, the HTML elements maintain their own state that will be updated when the input value changes. To write an uncontrolled component, you need to use a ref to get form values from the DOM. In other words, there is no need to write an event handler for every state update. You can use a ref to access the input field value of the form from the DOM. Example of Uncontrolled Form Input:- import React from "react" ; export class Info extends React . Component {     constructor ( props )     {         super ( props );         this . fun = this . fun . bind ( this ); //event method binding         this . input = React . createRef ();...

JSP Page design using Internal CSS

  JSP is used to design the user interface of an application, CSS is used to provide set of properties. Jsp provide proper page template to create user interface of dynamic web application. We can write CSS using three different ways 1)  inline CSS:-   we will write CSS tag under HTML elements <div style="width:200px; height:100px; background-color:green;"></div> 2)  Internal CSS:-  we will write CSS under <style> block. <style type="text/css"> #abc { width:200px;  height:100px;  background-color:green; } </style> <div id="abc"></div> 3) External CSS:-  we will write CSS to create a separate file and link it into HTML Web pages. create a separate file and named it style.css #abc { width:200px;  height:100px;  background-color:green; } go into Jsp page and link style.css <link href="style.css"  type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"   /> <div id="abc"> </div> Exam...

JDBC using JSP and Servlet

JDBC means Java Database Connectivity ,It is intermediates from Application to database. JDBC has different type of divers and provides to communicate from database server. JDBC contain four different type of approach to communicate with Database Type 1:- JDBC-ODBC Driver Type2:- JDBC Vendor specific Type3 :- JDBC Network Specific Type4:- JDBC Client-Server based Driver  or JAVA thin driver:- Mostly we prefer Type 4 type of Driver to communicate with database server. Step for JDBC:- 1  Create Database using MYSQL ,ORACLE ,MS-SQL or any other database 2   Create Table using database server 3   Create Form according to database table 4  Submit Form and get form data into servlet 5  write JDBC Code:-     5.1)   import package    import java.sql.*     5.2)  Add JDBC Driver according to database ide tools     5.3)  call driver in program         ...
