 4
Structured Query Language(SQL)

 SQL is a database computer language designed for the retrieval and

management of data in relational database.

 SQL is structured Query Language which is a computer language for

storing, manipulating and retrieving data stored in relational database.

 SQL is the standard language for Relation Database System. All relational
database management systems like MySQL, MS Access, Oracle, Sybase,
Informix, and SQL Server uses SQL as standard database language.
 Why SQL ? 5

 Allows users to access data in relational database

management Systems.
 Allows users to describe the data.
 Allows users to define data in database and manipulate that
data.
 Allows users to create and drop databases and tables.
 Allows users to create view, stored procedure, functions in a
database.
 Allows users to set permissions on tables, procedures, and
views
Oracle has grouped the commands of SQL into the following five 6

sublanguages.

DDL (Data Definition Language):

Create,Alter,Drop,Rename
 DML(Data Manipulation Language)
Insert,Update,Delete
 DQL(Data Query Language)

Select
 DCL(Data Control Language)

Grant,Revoke

Relation and Tables

In relational database systems (DBS) data are represented

using tables (relations). A query issued against the DBS also
results in a table. A table has the following structure:
 11
 A table is uniquely identified by its name and
consists of rows that contain the stored
information, each row containing exactly one tuple (or record).

 A table can have one or more columns.

 A column is made up of a column name and a

data type, and it describes an attribute of the
tuples. The structure of a table, also called
relation schema.

 The type of information to be stored in a table is

defined by the data types of the attributes at table
creation time.
 Data Types 12

 char(n): Fixed-length character data (string), n characters long. The maximum

size for n is 255 bytes (2000 in Oracle8). Note that a string of type char is
always padded on right with blanks to full length of n.
Example: char(40)

 varchar2(n): Variable-length character string. The maximum size for n is 2000

. Only the bytes used for a string require storage.
Example: varchar2(80)

 number(o, d): Numeric data type for integers and reals. o = overall
number of digits, d = number of digits to the right of the decimal point.
Maximum values: o =38, d= -84 to +127.
Examples: number(8), number(5,2)
Note that, e.g., number(5,2) cannot contain anything larger than 999.99
without resulting in an error. Data types derived from number are
int[eger], dec[imal], smallint and real.

 date: Date data type for storing date and time. The default format for a
date is: DD-MMM-YY. Examples: '13-OCT-94', '07-JAN-98'
 13

Creating Table Structures

 Primary key attributes contain both a NOT NULL and

a UNIQUE specification

 RDBMS will automatically enforce referential integrity

for foreign keys

 Command sequence ends with semicolon

Create Command 14

 Create Command Syntax:

 CREATE TABLE table-name
(
Column-name-1 data-type-1 [constraint],
Column-name-1 data-type-2 [constraint],
Column-name-1 data-type-3 [constraint]
);
Example :-
 CREATE TABLE student (
Rno number(10),
student_name varchar2(30),
cgpa decimal(5,3),
branch varchar2(10),
mob_no number(10)
);
 15
Describe Command

Describe Command will Display the column names and

corresponding data types present in the table.

Syntax :

describe table-name;
Desc table-name;

Example :-

desc student
 16

Insert Command

It can be executed in the following three ways

 Insert into table-name {(col1,col2,...,coln)} values
(value1,value2,...,valuen);
 Insert into table-name values(value1,value2,....,valuen);

 Example 1 :-
INSERT INTO Student
(Rno, student_name, address)
VALUES (1005, ‘Anisha Chopra’, ‘A-6/95 JP Towers
Dwarka’ ) ;
 17
Example2 :--

INSERT INTO Employee

VALUES
(‘1006’, ‘J R Pradhaan’ ,’Manager’ ,’02-jul-1986’,20,50000) ;

INSERT INTO Employee

(Eno, Ename, Designation, Hire_dt, Dept_no, Salary )
VALUES (‘1006’, ‘J R Pradhaan’ ,’Manager’ ,’02-jul-
1986’,20,50000) ;
View the contents of table …… 18

SELECT Command

 The SELECT Clause lists the columns to display.

 The FROM clause lists the tables from which to obtain the
data.

 The WHERE clause specifies the condition or conditions that

need to be satisfied by the rows of the tables indicated in the
FROM clause.

 The ORDER BY clause indicates the criterion or criteria used

to sort rows that satisfy WHERE clause
 19

Many faces of Select Command ……

SELECT STATEMENT Syntax:

SELECT col1,col2,col3,...,coln
FROM table-1,...,table-n
[WHERE condition]
[ORDER BY col1 [ASC|DESC] [, col2 [ASC|DESC] ...]];

Global Data Extract

Syntax : SELECT * FROM tablename ;

Example : SELECT * FROM Employee ;

 Continued….. 20

 The Retrieval of specific columns from a Table :

Syntax : SELECT “expression list”
FROM tablename ;
Examples:
SELECT vend_name, vend_code
FROM vendor_table ;

 Elimination of duplicates from the SELECT statement :

Syntax : SELECT DISTINCT Colname, colname
FROM tablename ;
Examples :
SELECT DISTINCT vendor_no
FROM vendor_table ;
Continued …. 21

 Sorting of Data in a Table :

Syntax : SELECT Colname, colname

FROM tablename
ORDER BY Colname , colname ;

Example : SELECT Rno, Student_name , address , city

FROM Student
ORDER BY Rno ;
Where Clause 22

The Conditions are of the following form

Column-name comparisonoperator single-value

Comparison Operators Description

= Equal to
<> Not equal to
< Less than
<= Less than or equal to
> Greater than
>= Greater than or equal to
SELECT continued ….. 23

 USING WHERE clause , selecting a data set from

table data :

Syntax : SELECT colname , colname

FROM tablename
WHERE search condition ;

Example : SELECT vendor_no , vendor_name

FROM vendor_table
WHERE vendor_no = 1005 ;
 24

Modifying the structure of the Table

Adding new column
Syntax : ALTER TABLE tablename
ADD (new_column_name data type (size), new_column_name
data type (size) ) ;

Eg 1:
ALTER TABLE department
ADD ( Mob_no number(10) ) ;

Eg 2:
ALTER TABLE vendor_table
ADD ( tel_no number(8), fax_no number(15) ) ;
 25
Modifying the structure of the Table

Modifying Existing Column

Syntax : ALTER TABLE tabename

MODIFY (column_name newdatatype (size) ) ;

Eg :
ALTER TABLE vendor_table
MODIFY (fax_no varchar2(15) ) ;
 26
Updating the contents of a Table

 Syntax:
UPDATE tablename
SET columnname = expression [, columname = expression
[WHERE columname = expression ] ;

Example 1:

UPDATE Department
SET no_of_emp = 50
WHERE Dno = 10
Updating the contents of a Table 27

If more than one attribute is to be updated in row,

separate corrections with commas

Example 2:

UPDATE Department
SET no_of_emp = 200 , Dept = ‘IT’
WHERE Dno = 30 ;

Example 3:

UPDATE Vendor
SET vendor_ name = ‘Varsha Kapoor’ ,
address = ‘ A 8/97, J P Towers, Dwarka’
WHERE vendor_no = 1005 ;
Deleting Table Rows 28

Deletion of ALL Rows ……..

Syntax : DELETE FROM tablename ;

Example : DELETE FROM Student;

Deletion of specified Rows :-

Syntax : DELETE FROM tablename

[WHERE conditionlist ]
If WHERE condition is not specified, all rows from specified table
will be deleted
Example :
Delete From Department
where Dno = ‘ 20’ ;
 29

DROP COMMAND

DROP command will permanently delete the table with all its data

DROP TABLE table-name [CASCADE CONSTRAINT];

Special Operators 30

 BETWEEN
 Used to check whether attribute value is within a range
 IS NULL

datatype of a column,and drop the constraints using the following
commands respectively.

 ALTER TABLE table_name ADD COLUMN_name datatype;

 ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name;

 ALTER TABLE tablename MODIFY (column_name,datatype);

 ALTER TABLE table_name DROP CONSTRAINT

constraint_name;
