SUBQUERIES.
Queries inside queryThere are times when you need information from a table to answer query related to the same table or another table
INSS 651 3
Format:SQL>SELECT ….FROM WHERE colname1condition(SELECT col2 . . (SELECT . . ))
INSS 651 4
List customers whose balance is greater than the average balance of all customers
Logic:
• To answer this query we need to know average balance of all customers
• We will have to put this in a sub query
INSS 651 5
List customers whose balance are greater than the average balance of all customers
SQL> select *
from customer
where cust_balance >
(Select avg(cust_balance)
From customer);
INSS 651 6
give the customer balance of customer whose order is 123Logic:
Before we can find balance of customer whose order is 123 we need to find the cust_numb first
INSS 651 7
JOINING TABLES
when information needed is in more than one table, we need to join tables;
WHERE clause in the select SQL statement creates a join. Note some queries can also be answered using sub query
INSS 651 8
Rules FOR joining
WHERE attribute1 condition attribute2
Ex: where employee.ssn=student.ssn
Value(s) from one table are matched value(s) from other tables all matching values are attached
allows joining of tables based on common attribute domains
without the WHERE clause it will produce a Cartesian product also
INSS 651 9
Give the names of salesperson and their customers in maryland
SQL>Select cust_name, Sales_name from Customer C, salesperson Swherec.sales_numb= s. sales_numb’AndUpper(c.cust_st) =‘MD’;
C & S are aliases for tables Customer and Salesperson respectively
INSS 651 10
BUILT-IN-FUNCTIONS
• AVG(value)• MAX(value)• MIN(value)• SUM(value)• STDDEV(value)• VARIANCE(value)• COUNT(value)• Etc…
INSS 651 11
Nested functions
Select max (avg(grades)) etc..is allowed
INSS 651 12
String functions
Several strings can be concatenated
Use string1||string 2
|| implies +
select custname|| ‘,’ || cust_street as address
From customer;
INSS 651 13
Substrings
Returns substrings
Format:
Substr(stringvalue,m,n)
Where m is the starting value and n is the length of characters
INSS 651 14
Assume orders have the format:”
Abc1234
cdf2345etc..
Get the first and last part of the order
Select substr (order_numb, 1,3),substr (order_numb,4,4)
From order;
