Basic SELECT Statement

SELECT identifies the columns to be displayed.

FROM identifies the table containing those columns.

SELECT *|{[DISTINCT] column|expression [alias],...}

FROM table;

Selecting All Columns

SELECT *

FROM departments;

Selecting Specific Columns

SELECT department_id, location_id

FROM departments;

Writing SQL Statements

SQL statements are not case-sensitive. SQL statements can be entered on one or more lines.

Keywords cannot be abbreviated or split across lines.

Clauses are usually placed on separate lines.

Indents are used to enhance readability. In SQL Developer, SQL statements can optionally be

terminated by a semicolon (;). Semicolons are required whenyou execute multiple SQL statements.

In SQL*Plus, you are required to end each SQL statementwith a semicolon (;).

Column Heading Defaults

SQL Developer: Default heading alignment: Left-aligned

Default heading display: Uppercase

SQL*Plus:

Character and Date column headings are left-aligned. Number column headings are right-aligned.

Default heading display: Uppercase



Arithmetic Expressions

Create expressions with number and date data by usingarithmetic operators.

Multiply*

Divide/

Subtract-

Add+

DescriptionOperator



SELECT last_name, salary, salary + 300

FROM employees;

Using Arithmetic Operators


10/45Copyright 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.3 - 1 0

SELECT last_name, salary, 12*salary+100

FROM employees;

Operator Precedence

SELECT last_name, salary, 12*(salary+100)

FROM employees;

Defining a Null Value

Null is a value that is unavailable, unassigned, unknown, orinapplicable.

Null is not the same as zero or a blank space.

SELECT last_name, job_id, salary, commission_pct

FROM employees;



SELECT last_name, 12*salary*commission_pct

FROM employees;

Null Values in Arithmetic Expressions

Arithmetic expressions containing a null value evaluate to null.



Defining a Column Alias

A column alias: Renames a column heading

Is useful with calculations

Immediately follows the column name (There can also be the

optional AS keyword between the column name and alias.) Requires double quotation marks if it contains spaces or

special characters, or if it is case-sensitive



Using Column Aliases

SELECT last_name "Name" , salary*12 "Annual Salary"

FROM employees;

SELECT last_name AS name, commission_pct comm

FROM employees;



Concatenation Operator

A concatenation operator: Links columns or character strings to other columns

Is represented by two vertical bars (||)

Creates a resultant column that is a character expression

SELECT last_name||job_id AS "Employees"

FROM employees;



Literal Character Strings

A literal is a character, a number, or a date that is included inthe SELECT statement.

Date and character literal values must be enclosed withinsingle quotation marks.

Each character string is output once for each row returned.



Using Literal Character Strings

SELECT last_name ||' is a '||job_id

AS "Employee Details"

FROM employees;



Alternative Quote (q) Operator

Specify your own quotation mark delimiter. Select any delimiter.

Increase readability and usability.

SELECT department_name || ' Department' ||

q'['s Manager Id: ]'|| manager_id

AS "Department and Manager"

FROM departments;



Duplicate Rows

The default display of queries is all rows, including duplicaterows.

SELECT department_id

FROM employees;

SELECT DISTINCT department_id

FROM employees;

Limiting Rows Using a Selection

retrieve allemployees in

department 90

EMPLOYEES



Limiting the Rows that Are Selected

Restrict the rows that are returned by using the WHEREclause:

The WHERE clause follows the FROM clause.

SELECT *|{[DISTINCT] column|expression[alias],...}

FROM table

[WHERE condition(s)];



SELECT employee_id, last_name, job_id, department_id

FROM employees

WHERE department_id = 90 ;

Using theWHERE Clause



SELECT last_name, job_id, department_id

FROM employees

WHERE last_name = 'Whalen' ;

Character Strings and Dates

Character strings and date values are enclosed with singlequotation marks.

Character values are case-sensitive and date values areformat-sensitive.

The default date display format is DD-MON-RR.

SELECT last_name

FROM employees

WHERE hire_date = '17-FEB-96' ;



Comparison Operators

Not equal to

Between two values (inclusive)BETWEEN...AND...

Match any of a list of valuesIN(set)

Match a character patternLIKE

Is a null valueIS NULL

Less than

Equal to=

MeaningOperator



SELECT last_name, salary

FROM employees

WHERE salary


26/45

Copyright 2007, Oracle. All rights reserved.3 - 2 6

SELECT last_name, salary

FROM employees

WHERE salary BETWEEN 2500 AND 3500 ;

Range Conditions Using the BETWEEN Operator

Use the BETWEEN operator to display rows based on a range ofvalues:

Lower limit Upper limit


27/45


SELECT employee_id, last_name, salary, manager_id

FROM employees

WHERE manager_id IN (100, 101, 201) ;

Membership Condition Using the IN Operator

Use the IN operator to test for values in a list:


28/45


SELECT first_name

FROM employees

WHERE first_name LIKE 'S%' ;

Pattern Matching Using the LIKE Operator

Use the LIKE operator to perform wildcard searches of validsearch string values.

Search conditions can contain either literal characters ornumbers:

% denotes zero or many characters.

_ denotes one character.


29/45


30/45


SELECT last_name, manager_id

FROM employees

WHERE manager_id IS NULL ;

Using theNULL Conditions

Test for nulls with the IS NULL operator.


31/45


Defining Conditions Using the Logical Operators

Returns TRUE if the condition is falseNOT

Returns TRUE if eithercomponent

condition is true

OR

Returns TRUE if bothcomponentconditions are true

AND

MeaningOperator


32/45


SELECT employee_id, last_name, job_id, salary

FROM employees

WHERE salary >= 10000

AND job_id LIKE '%MAN%' ;

Using theAND Operator

AND requires both the component conditions to be true:


33/45


SELECT employee_id, last_name, job_id, salary

FROM employees

WHERE salary >= 10000

OR job_id LIKE '%MAN%' ;

Using the OROperator

OR requires either component condition to be true:


34/45


SELECT last_name, job_id

FROM employees

WHERE job_id

NOT IN ('IT_PROG', 'ST_CLERK', 'SA_REP') ;

Using theNOT Operator

SELECT last_name, job_id, salary

WHERE (job_id = 'SA_REP'

OR job_id = 'AD_PRES')

AND salary > 15000;

Using the ORDER BY Clause

Sort retrieved rows with the ORDER BY clause: ASC: Ascending order, default

DESC: Descending order

The ORDER BY clause comes last in the SELECT statement:

SELECT last_name, job_id, department_id, hire_dateFROM employees

ORDER BY hire_date ;


38/45


Sorting

Sorting in descending order:

Sorting by column alias:

SELECT last_name, job_id, department_id, hire_date

FROM employees

ORDER BY hire_date DESC ;1

SELECT employee_id, last_name, salary*12 annsal

FROM employees

ORDER BY annsal ;

39/45


Sorting

Sorting by using the columns numeric position:

Sorting by multiple columns:

SELECT last_name, job_id, department_id, hire_date

FROM employees

ORDER BY 3;3

SELECT last_name, department_id, salary

FROM employees

ORDER BY department_id, salary DESC;4

41/45


SELECT employee_id, last_name, salary, department_id

FROM employees

WHERE employee_id = &employee_num ;

Using the Single-Ampersand SubstitutionVariable

Use a variable prefixed with an ampersand (&) to prompt theuser for a value:

SELECT last_name, department_id, salary*12
