Chapter 3: Database Connectivity

Chapter Summary: This chapter covers the basics of connecting to a database using PHP, including using the PDO library and setting up credentials for the application to access it. It also explains how to use the PDO library to interact with the database, such as executing queries and retrieving results.



(1) Understanding Database Connectivity

Database Connectivity is the process of connecting to a database and allowing communication between the database and the application. This chapter will cover the basics of understanding database connectivity, such as how to connect to a database, what data types are supported, and how to interact with the database.

(2) Understanding PDO (PHP Data Objects)

PHP Data Objects (PDO) is an object-oriented database access library for PHP. This chapter will cover the basics of PDO, such as how to connect and query a database, transactions and prepared statements, error handling, and more.

(3) Working with Data

Working with data is a fundamental part of interacting with a database. This chapter will cover topics such as data validation, data sanitization, data manipulation, and more.

(4) Object-Relational Mapping

Object-relational mapping (ORM) is a technique used to map objects to the data in the database. This chapter will cover topics such as how to define a mapping, how to query the database, how to perform data operations, and more.

(5) Data Access Objects

Data access objects (DAO) are a type of object used to interact with the data in a database. This chapter will cover topics such as how to create a DAO, how to define a mapping, data operations, and more.

(6) Database Abstraction Layers

Database abstraction layers are a way to access data in different databases without having to write different code. This chapter will cover topics such as how to create a database abstraction layer, how to query the database, how to perform data operations, and more.

(7) Database Security

Database security is an important part of working with databases. This chapter will cover topics such as authentication, authorization, encryption, and more.

(8) Database Performance Tuning

Database performance tuning is a process of optimizing the performance of a database. This chapter will cover topics such as query optimization, indexing, caching, and more.

(9) Database Migration

Database migration is the process of moving data from one database to another. This chapter will cover topics such as how to migrate a database, how to migrate data, and more.

(10) Database Testing

Database testing is a process of testing database applications to ensure they are working as expected. This chapter will cover topics such as how to create test cases, how to verify database results, and more.

(11) Database Backup and Recovery

Database backup and recovery is a process of ensuring the data in a database is backed up regularly and can be restored in the event of a failure. This chapter will cover topics such as how to create a backup plan, how to restore data, and more.

(12) Database Design Strategies

Database design strategies are techniques used to design and optimize a database for performance and scalability. This chapter will cover topics such as entity-relationship modeling, normalization, and more.

(13) Database Monitoring

Database monitoring is a process of tracking the performance of a database. This chapter will cover topics such as how to monitor database performance, how to identify potential issues, and more.

(14) Database Optimization

Database optimization is a process of optimizing the performance of a database. This chapter will cover topics such as query optimization, indexing, caching, and more.
