Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 6 Design SQL represents all information in the form of tables Supports three relational operations: selection, projection, and join. These are for specifying exactly what data you want to display or use SQL is used for data manipulation, definition and administration SQL

This is done using the keywordQueries search the database, fetch info, and display it. This is done using the keyword SELECT SELECT * FROM publishers pub_idpub_nameaddressstate 0736New Age Books1 1 st StreetMA 0987Binnet & Hardley2 2 nd StreetDC 1120Algodata Infosys3 3 rd StreetCA The * Operator asks for every column in the table.The * Operator asks for every column in the table.

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 12 Using SQL SQL statements can be embedded into a program (cgi or perl script, Visual Basic, MS Access) OR OR SQL Database SQL statements can be entered directly at the command prompt of the SQL software being used (such as mySQL)

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 13 Using SQL To begin, you must first CREATE a database using the following SQL statement: CREATE DATABASE database_name Depending on the version of SQL being used the following statement is needed to begin using the database: USE database_name

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 14 Using SQL To create a table in the current database, use the CREATE TABLE keyword CREATE TABLE authors (auth_id int(9) not null, auth_name char(40) not null) auth_idauth_name (9 digit int)(40 char string)

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 15 Using SQL To insert data in the current table, use the keyword INSERT INTO auth_idauth_name Then issue the statement SELECT * FROM authors INSERT INTO authors values(‘ ’, ‘John Smith’) John Smith

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 16 Using SQL SELECT auth_name, auth_city FROM publishers auth_idauth_nameauth_cityauth_state Jane DoeDearbornMI John SmithTaylorMI auth_nameauth_city Jane DoeDearborn John SmithTaylor If you only want to display the author’s name and city from the following table:

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 17 Using SQL DELETE from authors WHERE auth_name=‘John Smith’ auth_idauth_nameauth_cityauth_state Jane DoeDearbornMI John SmithTaylorMI To delete data from a table, use the DELETE statement:

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 18 Using SQL UPDATE authors SET auth_name=‘hello’ auth_idauth_nameauth_cityauth_state Jane DoeDearbornMI John SmithTaylorMI To Update information in a database use the UPDATE keyword Hello Sets all auth_name fields to hello

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 19 Using SQL ALTER TABLE authors ADD birth_date datetime null auth_idauth_nameauth_cityauth_state Jane DoeDearbornMI John SmithTaylorMI To change a table in a database use ALTER TABLE. ADD adds a characteristic. ADD puts a new column in the table called birth_date birth_date.. TypeInitializer

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 20 Using SQL ALTER TABLE authors DROP birth_date auth_idauth_nameauth_cityauth_state Jane DoeDearbornMI John SmithTaylorMI To delete a column or row, use the keyword DROP DROP removed the birth_date characteristic from the table auth_state..

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 21 Using SQL DROP DATABASE authors auth_idauth_nameauth_cityauth_state Jane DoeDearbornMI John SmithTaylorMI The DROP statement is also used to delete an entire database. DROP removed the database and returned the memory to system

Brad Lloyd & Michelle Zukowski 22 Conclusion SQL is a versatile language that can integrate with numerous 4GL languages and applications SQL simplifies data manipulation by reducing the amount of code required. More reliable than creating a database using files with linked-list implementation
