Fancy Stuff
 What’s

the rule for fancy stuff?
Just checking…
 MySQL
Workbench
 Command-line
 Output
execution
formatting (HTML)
MySQL WorkBench
A
Graphical User Interface (GUI) for
MySQL

http://www.mysql.com/products/workbenc
h/
 Contains
interactive windows for MySQL
server, E-R Diagrams, and SQL command
interface.

Fun; easy; buggy.
 Use
at your own risk!
Command-Line Execution

You don’t need to open a direct client
connection to access the database

Try this at the shell command line, not the mysql
client:

>mysql –u root –e “show databases;” –D lyric

E stands for “execute”, D stands for database

Make sure the –D is capitalized.
>mysql –u root –e “select * from members;” –D
lyric
 >mysql –u root –e “Any SQL query” –D
database_name

Output Formatting
 Now

try this:
>mysql –u root –e “show databases;” –D lyric –H



Again, CAPITAL “H”
You can specify mysql to output
information as a table in a website!!
Our tables are already formatted!

>mysql –u root –e “select * from artists join
xrefartistsmembers using (artistid) join members
using(memberid);” -D lyric -H
Output Formatting (2)
 The
> operator in the windows shell will put
the output of the command into a
filename (of your choosing)


Called output redirection
Don’t confuse this with my prompt
indicator(>)
 Ex:

>dir > dir_out.txt
 Let’s
use these with our command-line mysql
queries
Output Formatting (3)



>mysql –u root –e “select * from artists join
xrefartistsmembers using(artistid) join members
using(memberid);” -D lyric –H > ArtistMembersout.html
Now open this in a web browser!
Note: This file is in the directory mysql is in (unless you
change the path)


>mysql –u root –e “select * from artists join xrefartistsmembers
using(artistid) join members using(memberid);” -D lyric –H >
../../ArtistMembersout.html
>mysql –u root –e “select * from artists join xrefartistsmembers
using(artistid) join members using(memberid);” -D lyric –H |
../../ArtistMembersout.html
LAMP/WAMP
 Linux,







Apache, MySQL, PHP
Typical model of web solutions
Completely free (buy your own computer,
though)
Linux – open source operating system
Apache – open source server
MySQL – this class
PHP – web programming language
WAMP = Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP
LAMP/WAMP (2)
 Most
(if not all) professional (and data
intensive) web pages use databases


Wikipedia, IMDB, Google, PayPal, Ebay,
etc.
LAMP makes creating your own site easy
(and free)
Public Databases
 Public
MySQL Databases
 Public
Databases
Public MySQL Databases
 If
you are interesting in seeing the type of
information used in databases, search for
public mysql databases
 Many are also PostgreSQL DBs (look up)
 Many are for public analysis of interesting
data

Bioinformatics – the study of processing
biological data
Bioinformatics
 The
interdisciplinary study of developing
methods and software tools for processing
biological data.

Why? There’s a LOT of biological data
 Viruses,
Genome, etc.
 Human Genome


Over 3 billion base pairs
Data must be structured, accessible, and
computable
Bioinformatics (2)
Only One Human
X Chromosome:
Bioinformatics (3)
 Different

schools have bioinformatics
Cal State LA has a minor:


And courses:

Other schools have more resources…
UCSC Genome Bioinformatics

UCSC Genome
 https://genome.ucsc.edu/index.html
 Public MySQL Database
 https://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/mysql.html


Note “Conditions of Use:”
“Avoid excessive or heavy queries that may impact
the server performance. Inappropriate query use
will result in a restriction of access. If you plan to
execute a query that you think may be excessive,
contact UCSC first to avoid the possibility of having
your access blocked.”

What SQL techniques should you NOT use?
UCSC Genome Bioinformatics
(2)
 Contains
a portal (site) of information on
Ebola and other diseases

Can search database with biological
information
UCSC Bioinformatics
 To
access the public database:

mysql --user=genome --host=genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu –A
 Don’t
do this in class!
 Make sure you follow the rules of the
database before you access!!!
 Grants
(public) access to many different
biological data

Ebola is “eboVir3” database
UCSC Bioinformatics
 Each
database has large amounts of
biological data


Can be downloaded separately
Up to you to determine what’s necessary
Other Bioinformatics

are also other databases out there

a database

Information organized in tables
 Like
a relational database
 We covered this earlier…
Facebook Query Language


Deprecated (no longer used), but interesting

Look at query guidelines:


Notice a pattern?
What programming language does this use?
