Introduction to SQL
SQL SQL (Structure Query Language)
It is relational database language that enables you to create and operate on relational database.
Feature of SQL It is a non procedural language. It is a 4GL programming language.
(i.e. only What to do? not How to do?). It is a case insensitive language.
Constraints of SQL A constraint is a condition or check that is
applied to a column or set of columns in a table.
Null Constraint: It means a Unknown Value.Eg. mobile number(10) null
Not Null Constraint: It means always a Known Value.Eg. name varchar2(20) not null
Unique Constraint: It ensures that no two rows have the same value in the specified column(s). i.e Known Value (Distinct) or Unknown Value.Eg. ecode number(5) unique
Primary Key Constraint: It is similar to Unique constraint except that the Primary Key can not allow Null values so that this constraint must be applied to columns declared as Not Null. i.e Always Known Value (Distinct).Eg. empid char(5) primary key
Constraints of SQL
Default Constraint: A default value can be specified for a column using default clause when a user does not enter a value for that column.Eg. grade char(2) default ‘E1’
Constraints of SQL
Foreign Key Constraint:
Whenever two tables are related by a common column then Foreign Key is present in the Child table (Related Table or Detail Table) and it is derived from primary key of Parent Table (Primary Table or Master Table).
Eg. Two Tables: Items (Itemno, Description, Price) Orders (Orderno, Orderdate, Itemno, Qty) where Itemno & Orderno are Primary Key and Itemno is Foreign Key.
i.e both the tables are related through common column Itemno.
Note: It may be possible that Primary Key and Foreign Key are same. Eg. create table Items ( Itemno char(5) Primary Key, …………….); create table Orders ( Orderno number(5) Primary Key, Itemno char(5), constraint fk foreign key (itemno) references
items(itemno) ……………. );

Classification of SQL Commands DDL Commands DML Commands DCL Commands Query Language
DDL CommandsDDL (Data Definition Language): It provides commands for defining various
database objects (i.e defining relation schemas, deleting relations, creating indexes, and modifying relation schemas etc.)
Eg. Create, Alter, Drop etc.
The tables are created by using Create Table command and also its columns are named, data types and sizes are supplied for each column.
Syntax: create table <table_name> ( <col1> <datatype> [<size>]
[<constraint>], <col2> <datatype> [<size>]
[<constraint>], ……….. <coln> <datatype> [<size>]
[<constraint>] ); Eg. create table emp1 ( empid char(4) primary key, ename varchar2(20) not null,
);
Create Command
EmpidEmpid EnameEname SalSal
E001E001 SmithSmith 50005000
E002E002 JohnJohn 1000010000
E003E003 JamesJames 25002500
Alter Command Altering Table: The alter table command is used
to modify the structure of existing table. (i.e adding a column, add an integrity constraint etc.).
Adding Columns: The new column will be added with NULL values for all rows currently in table.
Syntax: alter table <table_name> add column(<col1> <datatype> <size>
[<constraint>], <col2> <datatype> <size>
<constraint>] …….); Eg. alter table emp add column(tel_number
number(11) );
Alter table Modifying Column Definitions: To
change datatype, size, default value and NOT NULL column constraint of a column definition.
Syntax: alter table <table_name> modify <col_name> <new_datatype>
<new_size>; Eg. alter table emp modify tel_number int(13) ;
Alter table (Contd:) Deleting Column: To change datatype,
size, default value and NOT NULL column constraint of a column definition.
Syntax: alter table <table_name> drop <col_name>; Eg. alter table emp drop tel_number;
Drop table Drop Table Command: It removes a table
from the database . Syntax: drop table <table_name>;
Eg. Drop table emp;
Data Manipulation Language(DML) (Data Manipulation Language): It enables
users to manipulate data (i.e commands to insert, delete, and modify tuples in the database).
Eg. Insert, Update, Delete etc.
Insert table Inserting Data into Table The data can be inserted in a table using Insert Into
command. Syntax: insert into <table_name>
[<column_lists>] values (<value1>, <value2>,
…………….);
Eg. insert into emp1 values(‘E001’,’Vipin’,5000); Note: Here the order of values matches the
order of columns in the create table command of the table.
Or insert into emp1 (empid, ename, sal) values(‘E001’,’Vipin’,5000);Note: The columns not listed in the insert into
command will have their default values or null values.
Modifying Data with Update Command This is a DML statement used to modify or change some or
all of the values in an existing row of a table. Syntax: update <table_name> set col1 = <new_value>, col2 = < new_value>, …..coln = <new_value> [where <condition>];
Eg. update emp set sal= 400; ‘updates all rows
Eg. update emp set sal= sal*2, ename= ‘JONES’ where empno = 7844; ‘update only one
row
Update table
This is also a DML statement used to remove row(s) of a table.
Syntax: delete from <table_name> [where <condition>];
Eg. delete from emp where sal < 5000;
Delete table
