| Abstract: | Relational databases take care of many problems, like storing digital information on a physical medium and providing search algorithms. However, programming relational databases can be improved a lot. For example, programming languages like Java, PHP and C# provide solutions to write SQL code in strings, which increases vulnerability for SQL injections. We propose to make database programming easier by developing a new database programming language called SQLento. First we have explored eight concerns related to programming relational databases from a general purpose programming language and the SQL database programming language. Each found concern is not very crucial to solve and may have already a solution. Therefore we continued our research by evaluating ten different solutions. After the evaluation, we conclude that none of the solutions solve all concerns. We also realized that not all concerns can be solved by providing a new database programming language for relational databases. Thus we decided to design an architecture as well, to separate our database programming language from general purpose programming languages. This makes our solution more portable compared to other solutions and allows to optimize the database code. The prototype of SQLento provides two new features to make database programming easier. |
