SELECT FLOOR(123.45), FLOOR( ), FLOOR(123.95) Using the FLOOR,CEILING Functions SELECT CEILING(123.45), CEILING( ), CEILING(0.0)

Aggregating Data Using Group Functions

What Are Group Functions? Group functions operate on sets of rows to give one result per group. EMP “maximum salary in salary in the EMP table” DEPTNO SAL MAX(SAL)

Types of Group Functions – AVG – COUNT – MAX – MIN – SUM – AVG – COUNT – MAX – MIN – SUM

Using Group Functions SELECT[column,] group_function(column) FROMtable [WHEREcondition] [GROUP BYcolumn] [ORDER BYcolumn]

Using AVG and SUM Functions AVG(SAL) MAX(SAL) MIN(SAL) SUM(SAL) You can use AVG and SUM for numeric data. SELECTAVG(sal), MAX(sal), MIN(sal), SUM(sal) FROMemp WHEREjob LIKE 'SALES%'

Using MIN and MAX Functions You can use MIN and MAX for any datatype. SELECTMIN(hiredate), MAX(hiredate) FROMemp MIN(HIRED MAX(HIRED DEC JAN-83

Using the COUNT Function COUNT(*) SELECTCOUNT(*) FROMemp WHEREdeptno = 30 COUNT(*) returns the number of rows in a table.

Using the COUNT Function COUNT(expr) returns the number of nonnull rows. SELECTCOUNT(comm) FROMemp WHEREdeptno = 30 COUNT(COMM)

Group Functions and Null Values Group functions ignore null values in the column. SELECTAVG(comm) FROM emp AVG(COMM)

Using the ISNULL Function with Group Functions The ISNULL function forces group functions to include null values. SELECT AVG(ISNULL(comm,0)) COMMISSION FROM emp COMMISSION

Creating Groups of Data EMP “average salary in EMP table for each department” DEPTNO SAL DEPTNO AVG(SAL)

Creating Groups of Data: GROUP BY Clause SELECTcolumn, group_function(column) FROMtable [WHEREcondition] [GROUP BYgroup_by_expression] [ORDER BYcolumn] Divide rows in a table into smaller groups by using the GROUP BY clause.

Using the GROUP BY Clause All columns in the SELECT list that are not in group functions must be in the GROUP BY clause. SELECT deptno, AVG(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno DEPTNO AVG(SAL)

Using the GROUP BY Clause The GROUP BY column does not have to be in the SELECT list. SELECT AVG(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno AVG(SAL)

Grouping by More Than One Column EMP “sum salaries in the EMP table for each job, grouped by department” DEPTNO JOB SAL MANAGER PRESIDENT CLERK CLERK CLERK ANALYST MANAGER SALESMAN MANAGER SALESMAN CLERK SALESMAN SALESMAN 1250 JOB SUM(SAL) CLERK 1300 MANAGER 2450 PRESIDENT 5000 ANALYST 6000 CLERK 1900 MANAGER 2975 CLERK 950 MANAGER 2850 SALESMAN 5600 DEPTNO

Using the GROUP BY Clause on Multiple Columns SELECT deptno, job, sum(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno, job DEPTNO JOB SUM(SAL) CLERK MANAGER PRESIDENT ANALYST CLERK rows selected.

Illegal Queries Using Group Functions Any column or expression in the SELECT list that is not an aggregate function must be in the GROUP BY clause. SELECTdeptno, COUNT(ename) FROMemp SELECTdeptno, COUNT(ename) FROMemp Server: Msg 8118, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Column 'emp.DEPTNO' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in an aggregate function and there is no GROUP BY clause. Server: Msg 8118, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 Column 'emp.DEPTNO' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in an aggregate function and there is no GROUP BY clause. Column missing in the GROUP BY clause

Illegal Queries Using Group Functions – You cannot use the WHERE clause to restrict groups. – You use the HAVING clause to restrict groups. – You cannot use the WHERE clause to restrict groups. – You use the HAVING clause to restrict groups. SELECTdeptno, AVG(sal) FROM emp WHEREAVG(sal) > 2000 GROUP BYdeptno SELECTdeptno, AVG(sal) FROM emp WHEREAVG(sal) > 2000 GROUP BYdeptno Server: Msg 147, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 An aggregate may not appear in the WHERE clause unless it is in a subquery contained in a HAVING clause or a select list, and the column being aggregated is an outer reference. Server: Msg 147, Level 15, State 1, Line 3 An aggregate may not appear in the WHERE clause unless it is in a subquery contained in a HAVING clause or a select list, and the column being aggregated is an outer reference. Cannot use the WHERE clause to restrict groups to restrict groups Cannot use the WHERE clause to restrict groups to restrict groups

Excluding Group Results “maximum salary per department greater than $2900” EMP DEPTNO SAL DEPTNO MAX(SAL)

Excluding Group Results: HAVING Clause Use the HAVING clause to restrict groups Rows are grouped. The group function is applied. Groups matching the HAVING clause are displayed. Use the HAVING clause to restrict groups Rows are grouped. The group function is applied. Groups matching the HAVING clause are displayed. SELECTcolumn, group_function FROMtable [WHEREcondition] [GROUP BYgroup_by_expression] [HAVINGgroup_condition] [ORDER BYcolumn]

Using the HAVING Clause SELECT deptno, max(sal) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno HAVING max(sal)>2900 DEPTNO MAX(SAL)

Using the HAVING Clause SELECT job, SUM(sal) PAYROLL FROM emp WHERE job NOT LIKE 'SALES%' GROUP BY job HAVING SUM(sal)>5000 ORDER BY SUM(sal) JOB PAYROLL ANALYST 6000 MANAGER 8275

Nesting Group Functions SELECT max(avg(sal)) FROM emp GROUP BY deptno MAX(AVG(SAL)) Display the maximum average salary.

What Is a Join? Use a join to query data from more than one table. – Write the join condition in the WHERE clause. – Prefix the column name with the table name when the same column name appears in more than one table. Use a join to query data from more than one table. – Write the join condition in the WHERE clause. – Prefix the column name with the table name when the same column name appears in more than one table. SELECTtable1.column, table2.column FROMtable1, table2 WHEREtable1.column1 = table2.column2 SELECTtable1.column, table2.column FROMtable1, table2 WHEREtable1.column1 = table2.column2

Cartesian Product – A Cartesian product is formed when: A join condition is omitted A join condition is invalid All rows in the first table are joined to all rows in the second table – To avoid a Cartesian product, always include a valid join condition in a WHERE clause. – A Cartesian product is formed when: A join condition is omitted A join condition is invalid All rows in the first table are joined to all rows in the second table – To avoid a Cartesian product, always include a valid join condition in a WHERE clause.

Types of Join 1. Inner Join 2. Outer Join 3. Self Join

Inner Join In this type of join, Records in the joined tables must have the same value for fields that are joined. For example List the employees who work in ‘ACCOUNTING’ department.

Example SELECT ename, dname FROMemp INNER JOIN dept ON emp.deptno=dept.deptno WHERE UPPER(dname)='ACCOUNTING'

OUTER JOIN In this type of join, all records from one table are listed in the output even if no joining record is available in the joined table. Outer joins are categorized as left outer join and right outer join. For example, List all employees along with their department names or List all departments along with the employee names working in these departments.

Outer Joins – You use an outer join to also see rows that do not usually meet the join condition. SELECTtable1.column, table2.column FROMtable1 LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 ON table1.column = table2.column SELECTtable1.column, table2.column FROMtable1 LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 ON table1.column = table2.column SELECTtable1.column, table2.column FROMtable1 RIGHT OUTER JOIN table2 ON table1.column = table2.column SELECTtable1.column, table2.column FROMtable1 RIGHT OUTER JOIN table2 ON table1.column = table2.column

Outer Joins – Outer join operator is Left outer (*=) Right outer (=*) – Outer join operator is Left outer (*=) Right outer (=*) SELECTtable1.column, table2.column FROMtable1, table2 WHEREtable1.column *= table2.column SELECTtable1.column, table2.column FROMtable1, table2 WHEREtable1.column *= table2.column SELECTtable1.column, table2.column FROMtable1, table2 WHEREtable1.column =* table2.column SELECTtable1.column, table2.column FROMtable1, table2 WHEREtable1.column =* table2.column

SELECTe.ename, d.deptno, d.dname FROMemp e RIGHT OUTER JOIN dept d ON e.deptno = d.deptno ORDER BYd.deptno — OR— SELECTe.ename, d.deptno, d.dname FROMemp e, dept d WHEREe.deptno =* d.deptno ORDER BYd.deptno Example 2

Full Outer Join FULL OUTER JOIN includes all rows from both tables, regardless of whether or not the other table has a matching value.

Full Outer Join SELECTe.ename, d.deptno, d.dname FROMemp e FULL OUTER JOIN dept d ON e.deptno = d.deptno ORDER BYd.deptno

Self Joins EMP (WORKER) EMP (MANAGER) “MGR in the WORKER table is equal to EMPNO in the MANAGER table” EMPNOENAME MGR KING 7698BLAKE CLARK JONES MARTIN ALLEN7698 EMPNOENAME KING 7698BLAKE

Self Join There are the times when joining of one table with itself is required. For example, suppose we have an employee’s table having manager’s ID also and we want to list the employee name with his manager name. Then we will require the usage of employee table twice. For such situations Self join is used as shown in the example.

Example SELECT worker.ename + ' works for ' + manager.ename FROM emp worker, emp manager WHERE worker.mgr = manager.empno

Joining a Table to Itself BLAKE works for KING CLARK works for KING JONES works for KING MARTIN works for BLAKE rows selected BLAKE works for KING CLARK works for KING JONES works for KING MARTIN works for BLAKE rows selected. SELECT worker.ename + ' works for ' + manager.ename FROM emp worker INNER JOIN emp manager ON worker.mgr = manager.empno

Qualifying Ambiguous Column Names – Use table prefixes to qualify column names that are in multiple tables. – Improve performance by using table prefixes. – Distinguish columns that have identical names but reside in different tables by using column aliases. – Use table prefixes to qualify column names that are in multiple tables. – Improve performance by using table prefixes. – Distinguish columns that have identical names but reside in different tables by using column aliases.

SubqueriesSubqueries

ObjectivesObjectives After completing this lesson, you should be able to do the following: – Describe the types of problems that subqueries can solve – Define subqueries – List the types of subqueries – Write single-row and multiple-row subqueries After completing this lesson, you should be able to do the following: – Describe the types of problems that subqueries can solve – Define subqueries – List the types of subqueries – Write single-row and multiple-row subqueries

Using a Subquery to Solve a Problem “Who has a salary greater than Jones’?” “Which employees have a salary greater than Jones’ salary?” Main Query ? “What is Jones’ salary?” ? Subquery

SubqueriesSubqueries – The subquery (inner query) executes once before the main query. – The result of the subquery is used by the main query (outer query). – The subquery (inner query) executes once before the main query. – The result of the subquery is used by the main query (outer query). SELECTselect_list FROMtable WHEREexpr operator (SELECTselect_list FROMtable)

2975 SELECT ename FROM emp WHERE sal > (SELECT sal FROM emp WHERE empno=7566) Using a Subquery ENAME KING FORD SCOTT ENAME KING FORD SCOTT

Guidelines for Using Subqueries – Enclose subqueries in parentheses. – Place subqueries on the right side of the comparison operator. – Do not add an ORDER BY clause to a subquery. – Use single-row operators with single-row subqueries. – Use multiple-row operators with multiple- row subqueries. – Enclose subqueries in parentheses. – Place subqueries on the right side of the comparison operator. – Do not add an ORDER BY clause to a subquery. – Use single-row operators with single-row subqueries. – Use multiple-row operators with multiple- row subqueries.

Types of Subqueries – Single-row subquery Main query Subquery returns CLERK Multiple-row subquery CLERKMANAGER Main query Subquery returns Multiple-column subquery CLERK 7900 MANAGER 7698 Main query Subquery returns

Single-Row Subqueries – Return only one row – Use single-row comparison operators – Return only one row – Use single-row comparison operators Operator = > >= < <= <> Meaning Equal to Greater than Greater than or equal to Less than Less than or equal to Not equal to
