9.1 Learn
More about Relational Database
There are plenty of information online about relational database
online and there are free database software that you can download
and use. Notable free databases are:
- Microsoft SQL Server Express
- MySQL
For more information, please check the vendor website. The rest of
this lesson use Microsoft SQL Server.
Create a database
instance for the sample
In order to make the sample work, you need to create a database
instance named AP. If you are using Microsoft SQL Server,
you can use the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to create a
new database instance.
Once created, you need to create a database table named
CustomerPassword. This table should contain two columns:
Account_Id and Account_Password. Then populate the
table with some initial data.
| Account_Id |
Account_Password |
| 101 |
1234 |
| 102 |
567 |
This table basically sets the password for account 101 and 102.
Create a database
user
You also need to create a database user for accessing the database
instance. With Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, create a
new user under Security and Login. For example, you
can name the user test and password testivr.
Double click on the newly created user test, from the Login
Properties window, choose User Mapping. Select the database
instance AP, make sure to select db datareader and db
datawriter roles.
Download JDBC
driver
IVR Studio and Voicent Gateway use Java as the programming
language for applications. The Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)
API is the industry standard for database-independent connectivity
between the Java programming language and a wide range of
databases – SQL databases and other tabular data sources, such as
spreadsheets or flat files. The JDBC API provides a call-level API
for SQL-based database access. For more information, please check
out Sun Microsystem's Java site.
You should be able to download the JDBC driver of your database
from the vendor's website.
