1. UNIT 3.3 SQL COMMANDS
INTRODUCTION :: My SQL is RDBMS that uses SQL to access
the data. It is downloaded from www.mysql.org.MySQL was
invented by Michael Widenius. The logo of My SQL is ,the
Dolphin.SQL stands for Structured Query Language. Initially SQL
was called Sequel.
MEANING :: SQL is simple query language used for accessing,
managing and handling data in relation database.
CLASSIFICATION OF SQL STATEMENTS :: SQL commands
can be divided into following categories.
1. Data Definition Language(DDL)
2. Data Manipulation Language(DML)

2. 3. Data Control Language(DCL)
4. Transaction Control Language(TCL)
Data Definition language(DDL) :: (Defines storage structure.)
 Create
 Alter
 Drop
 Truncate
Data Manipulation Language(DML):: (Used to access and
manipulate data.)
 Select
 Insert
 Update
 Delete

3. Data Control Language(DCL)::
 Grant
 Revoke
Transaction Control Language(TCL)::
 Commit
 Rollback
 Savepoint
DATA DICTIONARY:: Data Dictionary contains data about
database. Data Dictionary contains information about tables. It
contains result of compilation of DDL statements.
Metadata means data about data.
Concept of Data type:: Data types indicate the type of value
the field will contain.

5. String, Character and date must always be enclosed in
single quotes/double quotes.
Difference between Char and Varchar :: Char refers to
Character and Varchar refers to Variable Character.
Char(7) – It always take 7 bytes of data whether you are
storing one character or 7 character. There is wastage of
space. Char is fixed length data type.
Varchar(10) – If you are storing one character then it will take
only one byte and if you are storing ten character then it will
take ten bytes. There is no wastage of space. Extra space is
automatically removed. Varchar is variable length data type.

6. Null Values :: If a column has no value then column is said to
be null. If column is assign as primary key then it must not
Null.
Comments :: Comments used in SQL are
/* text */ (for multiple lines)
# (for single lines)
-- (for single lines) and must be followed by a space
SQL Command Syntax ::
Keyword(select , insert…….)
Statements
Clauses(from , where)
Argument(where sales=5000) sales=5000 is an argument.

34. Grouping Result : Group by clause :: Group by clause
is used to divide the table into groups.
Table::emp
select job , count(*) , sum(comm)
from emp
group by job;
emp no empname Job hiredate sal comm deptno
7839 King President 17-Nov-81 5000 NULL
7698 Blake Manager 01-May-81 2850 80
7782 Clark Manager 09-June-81 2800 NULL
7566 Jones Manager 12-Apr-81 2450 21
7564 Martin Salesman 28-Sep-81 1250 1400 30
7499 Allen Salesman 20-Sep-81 1600 300 30

35. job count(*) sum(comm)
President 1 0
Manager 3 0
Salesman 2 1700
Placing condition on groups – having clause
select grade , avg(gross) , sum(gross)
from employee
group by grade
having grade=‘E2’;
grade avg(gross) sum(gross)
E2 8500 17000

36. Select job , count(*)
from emp
group by job
having count(*)<3;
Functions used in SQL ::
Avg :: Compute average value
Min :: Find minimum value
Max :: Find maximum value
job count(*)
Presidnt 1
Salesman 2

37. Sum :: Find total value
Count :: to count NOT NULL values in a column
Count(*) :: to count total number of rows in a table
Joins:: A join is a query that combines rows from two
or more tables. In a join query , more than one table
are listed in from clause.

47. View Command ::
View is a Virtual table with no data. If data is changing in
underlying table, the same change is reflect in view.
create view taxpayee as
select * from employee
where gross>8000;
taxpayee is a view(virtual table) that contain details of those
employees from employee table that have gross > 8000
Select * from taxpayee;
This query dislays all rows present in view.

48. If any column in the view is to be given a different name
other than the name of the column from which it is delivered,
it is done as follows.
create view taxpayee
(empcode, empname, sex, empgrade, empgross) as
select * from employee
where gross > 8000;
create view taxpayee(ecode,ename,tax) as
select ecode,ename,gross*.1
from employee
Where gross > 8000;

49. The above created view has an additional column tax
which is 10% of the gross
You can use insert , delete , update command on view
