SQL Basics
What is SQL?
• SQL stands for Structured Query Language .
• SQL lets you access and manipulate databases .
What Can SQL do?
• Can execute queries against a database.
• Can retrieve data from a database. • Can insert records in a database.• Can update records in a database.
What Can SQL do?
• Can delete records from a database.• Can create new databases. • Can create new tables in a database.
SQL Statements
• Most of the actions you need to perform on a database are done with SQL statements.
• Ex: select all the records in the "Person" table. SELECT * FROM Person
Keep in Mind That...
• SQL is not case sensitive

Data Definition Language (DDL)
Create Table
• The Create table statement is used to create a table in a database and to add constraints .– Constraints:
• NOT NULL • UNIQUE • PRIMARY KEY • FOREIGN KEY • CHECK • DEFAULT
The data types
• Ex: some popular data types used in creating fields.
Data Type Name INT
DOUBLE
CHAR(n)
VARCHAR(n)
DATE
TIME
CREATE TABLE person( id int,
name varchar(50) not null,
email varchar(50),
age int default 18,
Dept_ID int,
primary key(id),
check(age>17),
unique(email),
foreign key (Dept_ID) REFERENCES Department(Dept_ID))
Create Table Example
Drop Table
• Used to remove a relation (base table) and its definition
• The relation can no longer be used in queries, updates, or any other commands since its description no longer exists
• Example:DROP TABLE DEPENDENT;
Alter Table
• Used to modify the table design like add a column, modify a column or delete a column.
• Examples:ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEE ADD JOB VARCHAR(12)
ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEE MODIFY COLUMN JOB VARCHAR(50)
ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEE DROP COLUMN JOB

UPDATEUPDATEo Updates data in a database
DELETEDELETEo Deletes data from a database

Data Manipulation Language (DML)
INSERT INTO Statement
• First form: It doesn't specify the column names where the data will be inserted, only their values.
– The previous form the attribute values should be listed in the same order as the attributes were specified in table.
16
INSERT INTO Employee VALUES (4,'Ahmed', ‘Ali', 112233, '1965-01-01 ', '15 Ali fahmy St.Giza‘, ‘M’,1300,223344,10)
INSERT INTO Statement, (cont.)
• Second form: It specifies both the column names and the values to be inserted
17
INSERT INTO Employee (SSN, Lname, fname)
VALUES (5, ‘Ahmed', ‘Ali')
• To insert a new row into table with identity value, we will not have to specify a value for the identity column (a unique value will be added automatically):
insert into Department values('DP2','56733')
insert into Department(Dname,MGRSSN) values('DP2','56733')
INSERT INTO Statement, (cont.)
UPDATE Statement
• The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a table.
• SQL Syntax– UPDATE table_nameSET column1=value, column2=value2,...WHERE some_column=some_value
• Note: The WHERE clause specifies which record or records that should be updated. If you omit the WHERE clause, all records will be updated!
UPDATE Person SET Address='18 Abaas El 3akaad
St. Nasr City.Cairo', City='Cairo' WHERE Lname=‘Amr' AND Fname='Ali'
DELETE Statement
• The DELETE statement is used to delete rows in a table.
20
delete from Employee
delete from Employee
where Lname='Brown’
SELECT Statement
• Basic form of the SQL SELECT statement is called a mapping or a SELECT-FROM-WHERE blockSELECT <attribute list>FROM <table list>WHERE <condition>– <attribute list> is a list of attribute names whose
values are to be retrieved by the query– <table list> is a list of the relation names required
to process the query– <condition> is a conditional (Boolean) expression
that identifies the tuples to be retrieved by the query
Or:
SELECT Statement Examples
SELECT Lname,Fname FROM Person
SELECT Person.Lname, Person.Fname FROM Person
SELECT * FROM Person WHERE City='Sandnes'
LIKE Operator ExampleSELECT * FROM Person WHERE City LIKE 's%'
SELECT * FROM Person WHERE City LIKE '%s'
SELECT * FROM Person WHERE City LIKE '_andnes'
Used to represent one character
SQL AND & OR Operators• AND operator displays records when all
conditions are true.
• OR operator displays records when any condition is true.
SQL AND & OR Operators Example
IN Operator Example
• Retrieve data of all employees whose social security numbers number is 112233, or 512463.– Query : SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE SSN IN
(112233,512463)
IN Operator Example
• Retrieve data of all employees whose social security numbers number is not 112233, or 512463.– Query :
SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE SSN not IN (112233,512463)
The BETWEEN Operator
• The BETWEEN operator is used in a WHERE clause to select a range of data between two values.
• Retrieve the employees with salary between 1000 and 2000 – Query : SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE SALARY BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000
NULLS IN SQL QUERIES
• SQL allows queries that check if a value is NULL.• SQL uses IS or IS NOT to compare Nulls.• Retrieve the names of all employees who do not
have supervisors.– Query :
SELECT FNAME, LNAMEFROM EMPLOYEEWHERE SUPERSSN IS NULL
DISTINCT Keyword
• The keyword DISTINCT is used to eliminate duplicate tuples in a query result.
