Study Objectives
• Understand the basic commands and functions of SQL
• Learn how SQL is used for data manipulation (to add, modify, delete, and retrieve data)
• Learn how to use SQL to query a database to extract useful information
• Learn how SQL is used for data administration (to create tables, indexes, and views)
• Practice SQL
3
Ideal Database Language Requirements
• Create database and table structures. – SQL has a data definition component that gives us the
ability to meet this requirement.
• Manage the data component of the database.– SQL gives us a set of commands to add, update, and
delete data within the database tables.
• Provide detailed data query capability.– "Standard" SQL uses a set of approximately thirty
commands that allow us to retrieve data and to convert the raw data into useful information.
4
Brief History of SQL
• Standard Query Language (SQL) is the relational model’s standard language.
• The original version of SQL was developed at IBM's San Jose Research Laboratory. This language, originally called Sequel. The Sequel language has evolved since then, and its name has changed to SQL (Structured Query Language).
• In 1986, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) published an SQL standard.– In 1992, work was completed on a significantly
revised version of the SQL standard (SQL-92).
5
Introduction to SQL
• SQL is relatively easy to learn– SQL commands set has a basic vocabulary of less than
100 words.
• SQL is a nonprocedural language. So, it is much easier to use. – Its user merely commands what is to be done without
having to worry about how it's to be done.– Procedural language: COBOL, C, or Pascal.
• See SQL by “Restaurant” DB on the class website
6
Basic Structure of SQL Queries
• SELECT <attribute list>• FROM <table list>• WHERE <condition>• GROUP BY < grouping attribute(s)>• HAVING <group condition>• ORDER BY <attribute list>
7
The SELECT and FROM Statement
• The SELECT statement is used to select data from a table. The tabular result is stored in a result table (called the result set). The FROM statement is used to select tables.
• Syntax:– SELECT column_name(s) – FROM table_name
• To select all columns from a table, use a * symbol instead of column names: – SELECT * FROM table_name
8
The WHERE Statement
• To conditionally select data from a table, a WHERE clause can be added to the SELECT statement.
• Syntax:– SELECT column – FROM table – WHERE column operator value
9
Typical Data Types
• INTEGER: Numbers 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
10
Semicolon after SQL Statements?
• Semicolon is the standard way to separate each SQL statement in database systems that allow more than one SQL statement to be executed in the same call to the server.
• MS Access and SQL Server do not require to put a semicolon after each SQL statement, but other database SQLs force you to use it such as Oracle. So, you must use a semicolon for this class.– Access SQL commands are not case sensitive (including
table and attribute names) but try to follow exact names for better readability.
