1) SQL is a language used to manage data in relational database management systems. It allows users to define, manipulate, and control access to data. 2) SQL statements like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE allow users to retrieve, add, modify and remove data from database tables. 3) SQL also includes statements for defining the structure of a database through data definition language commands like CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE.

3. Introduction to SQL.
• SQL stands for Structured Query Language
• SQL is a special-purpose programming
language designed for managing data in
database management systems (DBMS).
• SQL lets you access and manipulate databases
• SQL is an ANSI (American National Standards
Institute) standard.

4. What Can SQL do?
• SQL can execute queries against a database
• SQL can retrieve data from a database
• SQL can insert records in a database
• SQL can update records in a database
• SQL can delete records from a database
• SQL can create new databases
• SQL can create new tables in a database
• SQL can create stored procedures in a database
• SQL can create views in a database

5. SQL DML and DDL
• SQL can be divided into two parts: The Data
Manipulation Language (DML) and the Data
Definition Language (DDL).
DDL:- DML:-
CREATE DATABASE - creates a new
SELECT - extracts data from a
database
database
ALTER DATABASE - modifies a
UPDATE - updates data in a
database
database
CREATE TABLE - creates a new table
DELETE - deletes data from a
ALTER TABLE - modifies a table
database
DROP TABLE - deletes a table
INSERT INTO - inserts new
CREATE INDEX - creates an index
data into a database
(search key)
DROP INDEX - deletes an index

6. HOW TO CREATE A DATABASE AND A TABLE ?
• The CREATE DATABASE statement is used to create a database.
Syntax:-
• CREATE DATABASE database_name
CREATE DATABASE Example
We use the following CREATE DATABASE statement:
• CREATE DATABASE my_db
• The CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a table in a database.
Syntax:-
• CREATE TABLE table_name
(
column_name1 data_type,
column_name2 data_type,
column_name3 data_type,
....
)

8. Start with the table “persons”.

9. The SQL SELECT Statement
SQL SELECT Syntax:
SELECT
column_name(s)
FROM table_name
and
SELECT * FROM
table_name

10. The SQL SELECT DISTINCT Statement
In a table, some of the columns may contain duplicate values.
This is not a problem, however, sometimes you will want to list
only the different (distinct) values in a table.
The DISTINCT keyword can be used to return only distinct
(different) values.
SELECT DISTINCT SYNTAX:-
SELECT DISTINCT
column_name(s)
FROM table_name

11. SQL WHERE Clause:
The WHERE clause is used to extract only those records that fulfill
a specified criterion.
Syntax:
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name operator value

12. Operators Allowed in the WHERE Clause

13. SQL AND & OR Operators

14. The ORDER BY Keyword:-
The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the result-set by a specified
column.
The ORDER BY keyword sorts the records in ascending order by default.
If you want to sort the records in a descending order, you can use the
DESC keyword.
Syntax:-
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
ORDER BY column_name(s) ASC|DESC

15. SQL INSERT INTO Statement
The INSERT INTO statement is used to insert a new row in a
table.
SYNTAX:-
INSERT INTO table_name
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)

16. SQL UPDATE Statement
The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in
a table.
SQL UPDATE Syntax:-
UPDATE table_name
SET column1=value, column2=value2,...
WHERE some_column=some_value

17. SQL DELETE Statement
The DELETE statement is used to delete rows in a table.
SQL DELETE Syntax:-
DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE some_column=some_value

18. LIKE OPERATOR
The LIKE operator is used to search for a specified pattern in a column.
SQL LIKE Syntax
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name LIKE pattern

19. SQL Joins
The JOIN keyword is used in an SQL statement to query data
from two or more tables, based on a relationship between
certain columns in these tables.
Different SQL JOINs-
JOIN: Return rows when there is at least one match in both tables
LEFT JOIN: Return all rows from the left table, even if there are no matches in the right
table
RIGHT JOIN: Return all rows from the right table, even if there are no matches in the
left table
FULL JOIN: Return rows when there is a match in one of the tables

20. SQL INNER JOIN Keyword:-
The INNER JOIN keyword
return rows when there is at
least one match in both
tables.
SQL INNER JOIN Syntax
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name1
INNER JOIN table_name2
ON
table_name1.column_name=t
able_name2.column_name
SELECT Persons.LastName,
Persons.FirstName,
Orders.OrderNo
FROM Persons
INNER JOIN Orders
ON
Persons.P_Id=Orders.P_Id
ORDER BY Persons.LastName

21. SQL LEFT JOIN Keyword:-
returns all rows from the left
table (table_name1), even if
there are no matches in the
right table (table_name2).
SQL LEFT JOIN Syntax
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name1
LEFT JOIN table_name2
ON
table_name1.column_name=t
able_name2.column_name
SELECT Persons.LastName,
Persons.FirstName,
Orders.OrderNo
FROM Persons
LEFT JOIN Orders
ON
Persons.P_Id=Orders.P_Id
ORDER BY Persons.LastName

22. SQL RIGHT JOIN :-
The RIGHT JOIN keyword
returns all the rows from the
right table (table_name2),
even if there are no matches
in the left table
(table_name1).
SQL RIGHT JOIN Syntax
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name1
RIGHT JOIN table_name2
ON
table_name1.column_name=t
able_name2.column_name
SELECT Persons.LastName,
Persons.FirstName,
Orders.OrderNo
FROM Persons
RIGHT JOIN Orders
ON
Persons.P_Id=Orders.P_Id
ORDER BY Persons.LastName

23. SQL FULL JOIN :-
The FULL JOIN keyword
return rows when there is a
match in one of the tables.
SQL FULL JOIN Syntax
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name1
FULL JOIN table_name2
ON
table_name1.column_nam
e=table_name2.column_na
me
SELECT Persons.LastName,
Persons.FirstName,
Orders.OrderNo
FROM Persons
FULL JOIN Orders
ON
Persons.P_Id=Orders.P_Id
ORDER BY Persons.LastName

24. VIEW:-
A view is a virtual table based on the result-set of an SQL
statement.
A view contains rows and columns, just like a real table. The fields
in a view are fields from one or more real tables in the database.
SQL CREATE VIEW Syntax:-
CREATE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition

25. SQL Creating a View SQL Updating a View SQL Dropping a View
In SQL, a view is a virtual table You can update a view by You can delete a view with the
based on the result-set of an using the following syntax: DROP VIEW command.
SQL statement.
SQL CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW SQL DROP VIEW Syntax:-
SQL CREATE VIEW Syntax:- Syntax:-
DROP VIEW view_name
CREATE VIEW view_name AS CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW
SELECT column_name(s) view_name AS
FROM table_name SELECT column_name(s)
WHERE condition FROM table_name
WHERE condition
For example,
CREATE VIEW [Current Product
CREATE VIEW [Current Product List] AS
List] AS SELECT
SELECT ProductID,ProductName,Categ
ProductID,ProductName ory
FROM Products FROM Products
WHERE Discontinued=No WHERE Discontinued=No
