3
Introduction
• SQL (Structured Query Language)– Allows users to query a relational database– Must enter commands to obtain the desired results– Standard language for relational database
manipulation
4
Getting Started with SQL
• If you are completing the work in this chapter using Microsoft Office Access 2007, Microsoft Office Access 2010, or MySQL version 4.1 or higher, the following sections contain specific information about your DBMS
5
Getting Started with Microsoft Office Access 2007 and 2010
• If you are using the Access 2007 or 2010 version of the Premiere Products database provided with the Data Files for this text:– Tables in the database have already been created– You will not need to execute the CREATE TABLE
commands to create the tables or the INSERT commands to add records to the tables
6
Getting Started with Microsoft Office Access 2007 and 2010 (continued)
• To execute SQL commands shown in the figures in Access 2007 or Access 2010:– Open the Premiere Products database– Click the Create tab on the Ribbon– Click the Query Design button in the Other group– Click the Close button in the Show Table dialog box– Click the View button arrow in the Results group on
the Query Design Tools tab, then click SQL View– The Query1 tab displays the query in SQL view,
ready for you to type your SQL commands
7
Getting Started with MySQL
• MySQL-Premiere script provided with the Data Files for this text will:– Activate the database– Create the tables– Insert the records
• To run a script in MySQL:– Type the SOURCE command followed by the name
of the file– Press the Enter key
8
Getting Started with MySQL (continued)
• Before typing commands in MySQL, you must activate the database by typing the USE command followed by the name of the database
• The most recent command entered in MySQL is stored in a special area of memory called the statement history
9
Table Creation
• SQL CREATE TABLE command– Creates a table by describing its layout
• Typical restrictions placed on table and column names by DBMS– Names cannot exceed 18 characters– Names must start with a letter– Names can contain only letters, numbers, and
underscores (_)– Names cannot contain spaces
10
Table Creation (continued)
• INTEGER– Number without a decimal point
• SMALLINT– Uses less space than INTEGER
• DECIMAL(p,q)– P number of digits; q number of decimal places
• CHAR(n)– Character string n places long
• DATE– Dates in DD-MON-YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY form
11
Simple Retrieval
• SELECT-FROM-WHERE: SQL retrieval command – SELECT clause: lists fields to display– FROM clause: lists table or tables that contain data
to display in query results– WHERE clause (optional): lists any conditions to be
applied to the data to retrieve
• Simple condition: field name, a comparison operator, and either another field name or a value
12
Simple Retrieval (continued)
13
• Retrieving all fields and all records– Syntax: SELECT * FROM <table>– Example 1: SELECT * FROM Customer– Example 2: SELECT * FROM Rep
• Retrieving specific field(s)• Syntax: SELECT <field1>, <field2>,..<fieldn> FROM
<table>• Example 1: SELECT Customername, City, State FROM
Customer
• Example 2: SELECT Repnum, Lastname, Firstname, Commission, Rate FROM Rep
Non-Graded Exercise
14
1. Show all the fields and records from Rep table
2. Show all fields and records Item table
3. Show the Last name and First name of all Sales Rep from Rep table
4. Show the Item number, Description, On Hand Quantity and Price from Item table
Simple Retrieval – Filtering Records
15
• Filtering records to retrieve using WHERE clause– Syntax: SELECT * FROM <table>– Example 1: (Filtering records with a Text/String field)
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE City=‘Grove’– Example 2: (Filtering records with a Numeric field)
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CreditLimit=7500– Example 3: (Filtering records using specific fields)
SELECT Customername, City WHERE City = ‘Grove’– Example 4: (Filtering records using not equal)
SELECT * FROM City WHERE City <> ‘Fullton’
– Note : If it is a string or a text the value should have a quote like in ‘Grove’ but if it is numeric do not put a quote.

4. Make a concatenated field for Street, City, State and Zip fields and named it Address, from Customer table. Show also the Customer name before the address.
Using Special Operators (LIKE and IN)
• Wildcards in Access SQL– Asterisk (*): collection of characters– Question mark (?): any individual character
• Wildcards in MySQL– Percent sign (%): any collection of characters– Underscore (_): any individual character
• To use a wildcard, include the LIKE operator in the WHERE clause
• IN operator provides a concise way of phrasing certain conditions
36
Using LIKE operator and wildcards
37
• Using asterisk for collection of characters pattern– Example 1: Displays customer whose name starts with letter B
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE customername LIKE ‘B*’– Example 2: Displays customer whose name starts with the word Brook
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE customername LIKE ‘Brook*’
• Using question mark for individual/single character– Example 1: Display orders whose partnum starts with letter K followed by any 3
characters.
SELECT * FROM Orderline WHERE Itemnum LIKE ‘K???’
Using the IN operator
38
– Example 1: Displays customer whose credit limit is either $5,000 or $10,000 or $15,000
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE creditlimit IN(5000,10000,15000)
– Example 2: Displays customer who comes from the City of Grove, Crystal, Fillmore or Northfield
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE city IN(‘Grove’,’Fullton’,’Northfield’)
Non-Graded Exercise

1. Show all products from Item table whose Description starts with letter ‘P’
2. Show all customers from Customer table whose Street starts with 3
3. Using IN show products whose Category is either TOY or PZL from Item table
4. Using IN show customers from Customer table whose Credit Limit is either 5000, 7500 or 15000.
Sorting
• Sort data using the ORDER BY clause
• Sort key: field on which to sort data
• When sorting data on two fields:– Major sort key (or primary sort key): more important
sort key– Minor sort key (or secondary sort key): less
important sort key
40
Using the ORDER BY statement
41
– Example 1: Displays customer sorted by customer name
SELECT * FROM Customer ORDER BY customername– Example 2: Displays sales rep sorted by Lastname then Firstname
SELECT * FROM Rep ORDER BY Lastname, Firstname– Example 3: Displays sales rep sorted by Lastname in descending order
SELECT * FROM Rep ORDER BY Lastname DESC– Example 4: Displays customer sorted by City whose Credit Limit is $10,000
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CreditLimit = 10000 ORDER BY city

Built-in Functions
• Built-in functions (aggregate functions) in SQL– COUNT: calculates number of entries– SUM or AVG: calculates sum or average of all
entries in a given column– MAX or MIN: calculates largest or smallest values
respectively
44
Using Aggregate Functions (COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN)
45
– Example 1: Count all how many customers in Customer table
SELECT COUNT(*) as CustomerCount FROM Customer– Example 2: Count how many customers from the City of Grove
SELECT COUNT(*) as CountGrove FROM Customer WHERE city = ‘Grove’
– Example 3: Sum all Balance from all Customers
SELECT SUM(Balance) as TotalBalance FROM Customer– Example 4: Sum all Balance from all Customers for those who a CreditLimit of $5,000
SELECT SUM(Balance) as TotalBalance FROM Customer
WHERE CreditLimit=5000

1. Count all the products from Item table
2. Count all the products from Item table whose Category is either ‘TOY’ or ‘GME’
3. Give the Total for the Quantity On Hand from Item table
4. Give the Sum or Total for the Quoted Price from Orderline table
5. Give the Sum or Total for the Quoted Price from Orderline table whose Quoted Price is above $400
Subqueries
• Subquery: inner query
• Subquery is evaluated first
• Outer query is evaluated after the subquery
47
Using Subquery
48
– Example 1: Select orders where whose parts/products are from Warehouse No. 3
SELECT Ordernum FROM Orderline WHERE Partnum IN (SELECT Partnum FROM Part WHERE Warehouse = ‘3’)
Graded Exercise No. 3
49
Check-up Time
Grouping
• Create groups of records that share a common characteristic
• GROUP BY clause indicates grouping in SQL
• HAVING clause is to groups what the WHERE clause is to rows
50
Using GROUP BY
51
– Example 1: Count how many customers per Sales Representative
SELECT Repnum, COUNT(*) as TotalCustomersPerRep FROM Customer GROUP BY Repnum
– Example 2: Get the Total of how much Quantity on Hand per Class of all the products
SELECT Category, SUM(OnHand) as TotalPerCategory
FROM Item GROUP BY Category
Using HAVING
52
– Example 2: Get the Total of how much Quantity on Hand per Class of all products that have Quantity on hand above 70
SELECT Category, SUM(OnHand) as TotalPerCategory
FROM Item GROUP BY Class HAVING SUM(OnHand) > 120
Non-Graded Exercise
53
1. Using subquery show orders from Orderline table that has a Category of ‘GME’ in Item table
2. Count all customers from Customer table per City.
3. Sum all Quantity on Hand from Item table per Storehouse.
4. Display the Sum of Quantity on Hand from Item table per Storehouse that has Total Quantity on hand above 200.
Joining Tables
• Queries can locate data from more than one table
• Enter appropriate conditions in the WHERE clause
• To join tables, construct the SQL command as:1. SELECT clause: list all fields you want to display
2. FROM clause: list all tables involved in the query
3. WHERE clause: give the condition that will restrict the data to be retrieved to only those rows from the two tables that match
4. Or you could use INNER JOIN in same manner as no. 3
54
Joining tables example
55
– Example 1: Joining tables using WHERE clause
SELECT CustomerNum, CustomerName, Rep.Repnum, Lastname, Firstname FROM Customer, Rep
WHERE Customer.Repnum = Rep.Repnum– Example 2: Joining tables using INNER JOIN
SELECT A.CustomerNum, A.CustomerName, B.Repnum, B.Lastname, B.Firstname FROM Customer A INNER JOIN Rep B ON A.Repnum = B.Repnum
Non-Graded Exercise
56
1. Using WHERE clause join Orderline and Item tables showing Ordernum from Orderline table then Itemnum and Description from Item table
2. Using INNER JOIN, join Orderline and Item tables showing Ordernum from Orderline table then Itemnum and Description from Item table

Updating Tables
• UPDATE command makes changes to existing data
• INSERT command adds new data to a table
• DELETE command deletes data from the database
58
Updating Table using UPDATE command
59
– Example 1: Updating one field
UPDATE Customer SET City=‘Manila’ WHERE Customernum=‘386’
– Example 2: Updating more than one field
UPDATE Rep SET Lastname=‘Doe’, Firstname=‘John’ WHERE Repnum=‘30’
– Example 3: Updating involving computation

– Example 1: Inserting a record involving all fields
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (‘TH01',‘Thomas and Friends Train',50,‘TOY',‘2',35.50)
– Example 2: Inserting a record involving specific fields
INSERT INTO Item (Itemnum, Description,Category,Price) VALUES (‘BL10',‘Bible Puzzle',‘PZL',25.00)
Non-Graded Exercise
62
1. Insert a record into Rep table but put your own data.
2. Insert a record into Rep table but using only Repnum, Lastname, Firstname, Commission and Rate fields.
Creating a Table from a Query
• INTO clause– Saves the results of a query as a table– Specified before FROM and WHERE clauses
• MySQL – Create the new table using a CREATE TABLE
command– Use an INSERT command to insert the appropriate
data into the new table

Summary of SQL Commands
• Generic versions of SQL commands for every example presented in this chapter
• In most cases, commands in Access are identical to the generic versions
• For those commands that differ, both the generic version and the Access version are included
66
Summary
• Structured Query Language (SQL) is a language that is used to manipulate relational databases
• Basic form of an SQL query: SELECT-FROM-WHERE
• Use CREATE TABLE command to describe table layout to the DBMS, which creates the table
• In SQL retrieval commands, fields are listed after SELECT, tables are listed after FROM, and conditions are listed after WHERE
• In conditions, character values must be enclosed in single quotation marks
67
Summary (continued)
• Compound conditions are formed by combining simple conditions using either or both of the following operators: AND and OR
• Sorting is accomplished using ORDER BY clause
• When the data is sorted in more than one field, can have a major and minor sort key
• Grouping: use the GROUP BY clause
• HAVING clause: restricts the rows to be displayed
68
Summary (continued)
• Joining tables: use a condition that relates matching rows in the tables to be joined
• Built-in (aggregate) functions: COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX, and MIN
• One SQL query can be placed inside another; the subquery is evaluated first
• UNION operator: unifies the results of two queries
69
Summary (continued)
• Calculated fields: include the calculation, the word AS, the name of the calculated field
• INSERT command adds a new row to a table
• UPDATE command changes existing data
• DELETE command deletes records
• INTO clause is used in a SELECT command to create a table containing the results of the query
