SQL Tutorial: Introduction
What is SQL?
 SQL is a language used to retrieve and manipulate data in a RDMS.
 SQL stands for Structured Query Language.
What is a Database?
 A database is a place to store data.
 A relational database system (RDMS) stores data in tables.
Relational Database Tables
A relational database stores data in tables. Each table has a number of rows and
columns.
The table below has 4 rows and 3 columns.
SQL and Relational Databases
A relational database contains tables which store data that is related in some way.
SQL is the language that allows retrieval and manipulation of table data in a
relational database.
The database below has 2 tables: one with data on Users and another with data
on Products.

.
Example database
This tutorial uses a database which is a modernized version of Microsoft's
Northwind database. Northwind is a fictitious store that sells specialty food
products from all over the world. The database has 5 tables.
Below are an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) which shows the tables and their
relationships.

SQL Syntax
 The syntax of a language describes the language elements.
 SQL statements are somewhat like simple English sentences.
 Keywords include SELECT, UPDATE, WHERE, ORDER BY, etc.
 ANSI Standard SQL is the lingua franca for relational databases.
The SQL Syntax
SQL was designed to be entered on a console and results would display back to a
screen.
Today, SQL is mostly used by programmers who use SQL inside their language to
build applications that access data in a database.
Four fundamental operations that apply to any database are:
1. Read the data -- SELECT
2. Insert new data -- INSERT
3. Update existing data -- UPDATE
4. Remove data -- DELETE
Collectively these are referred to as CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete).
The general form for each of these 4 operations in SQL is presented next.
The SQL SELECT general form
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE condition
ORDER BY sort-order
Example:
1. SELECT FirstName, LastName, City, Country FROM Customer
WHERE City = 'Paris' ORDER BY LastName
The SQL INSERT general form
1. INSERT table-name (column-names) VALUES (column-values)
Example:
1. INSERT Supplier (Name, ContactName, City, Country)
VALUES ('Oxford Trading', 'Ian Smith', 'Oxford', 'UK')

The SQL UPDATE general form
1. UPDATE table-name SET column-name = column-value WHERE condition
Example:
1. UPDATE OrderItem SET Quantity = 2 WHERE Id = 388
The SQL DELETE general form
1. DELETE table-name WHERE condition
Example:
1. DELETE Customer WHERE Email = 'alex@gmail.com'
SQL SELECT Statement
 The SELECT statement retrieves data from a database.
 The data is returned in a table-like structure called a result-set.
 SELECT is the most frequently used action on a database.
The SQL SELECT syntax
The general syntax is:
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name
USING *
1. SELECT * FROM table-name
SQL SELECT Examples
Problem: List all customers
1. SELECT * FROM Customer
Problem: List the first name, last name, and city of all customers
1. SELECT FirstName, LastName, City FROM Customer

SQL WHERE Clause
 To limit the number of rows use the WHERE clause.
 The WHERE clause filters for rows that meet certain criteria.
 WHERE is followed by a condition that returns either true or false.
 WHERE is used with SELECT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
The SQL WHERE syntax
A WHERE clause with a SELECT statement:
A WHERE clause with an UPDATE statement:
1. UPDATE table-name SET column-name = value WHERE condition
A WHERE clause with a DELETE statement:
SQL WHERE Clause Examples
Problem: List the customers in Sweden
1. SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, City, Country, Phone FROM Customer
WHERE Country = 'Sweden'
Problem: Update the city to Sydney for supplier Pavlova, Ltd.
1. UPDATE Supplier SET City = 'Sydney' WHERE Name = 'Pavlova, Ltd.'
Problem: Delete all products with unit price higher than $50.
1. DELETE FROM Product WHERE UnitPrice > 50
Note: Referential integrity may prevent this deletion.
A better approach may be to discontinue the product, that is, set Is Discontinued
to true.

SQL INSERT INTO Statement
 The INSERT INTO statement is used to add new data to a database.
 The INSERT INTO statement adds a new record to a table.
 INSERT INTO can contain values for some or all of its columns.
 INSERT INTO can be combined with a SELECT to insert records.
The SQL INSERT INTO syntax
1. INSERT INTO table-name (column-names) VALUES (values) OR
2. INSERT INTO table-name VALUES (column-names)
SQL INSERT INTO Examples
Problem: Add a record for a new customer
1. INSERT INTO Customer (FirstName, LastName, City, Country, Phone)
VALUES ('Craig', 'Smith', 'New York', 'USA', 1-01-993 2800)
OR
2. INSERT INTO Customer VALUES ('Craig', 'Smith', 'New York', 'USA', 1-01-
993 2800)
Problem: Add a new customer named Anita Coats to the database
1. INSERT INTO Customer (FirstName, LastName) VALUES ('Anita', 'Coats')
The SQL INSERT combined with a SELECT
1. INSERT INTO table-name (column-names) SELECT column-names
FROM table-name WHERE condition
SQL INSERT INTO with SELECT Example
Problem: The Bigfoot Brewery supplier is also a customer.
Add a customer record with values from the supplier table.
1. INSERT INTO Customer (FirstName, LastName, City, Country, Phone)
SELECT LEFT (ContactName, CHARINDEX (' ',ContactName) - 1),
SUBSTRING (ContactName, CHARINDEX (' ',ContactName) + 1, 100),
City, Country, Phone FROM Supplier WHERE CompanyName = 'Bigfoot
Breweries'

Note: ContactName is parsed into FirstName and LastName.
Parsing takes place with built-in functions: LEFT, SUBSTRING, and CHARINDEX.
SQL UPDATE Statement
 The UPDATE statement updates data values in a database.
 UPDATE can update one or more records in a table.
 Use the WHERE clause to UPDATE only specific records.
The SQL UPDATE syntax
1. UPDATE table-name SET column-name = value, column-name = value,
To limit the number of records to UPDATE append a WHERE clause:
1. UPDATE table-name SET column-name = value, column-name = value,
WHERE condition
SQL UPDATE Examples
Problem: discontinue all products in the database
1. UPDATE Product SET IsDiscontinued = 1
Note: the value 1 denotes true.
Problem: Discontinue products over $50.
1. UPDATE Product SET IsDiscontinued = 1 WHERE UnitPrice > 50
Problem: Discontinue product with Id = 46.
1. UPDATE Product SET IsDiscontinued = 1 WHERE Id = 46
This is a more common scenario in which a single record is updated.
Problem: Supplier Norske Meierier (Id = 15) has moved: update their city, phone
and fax.
1. UPDATE Supplier SET City = 'Oslo', Phone = '(0)1-953530',
Fax = '(0)1- 953555' WHERE Id = 15
This is a common scenario in which a single record is updated.

SQL DELETE Statement
 DELETE permanently removes records from a table.
 DELETE can delete one or more records in a table.
 Use the WHERE clause to DELETE only specific records.
The SQL DELETE syntax
1. DELETE table-name
To delete specific records append a WHERE clause:
SQL DELETE Examples
Problem: Delete all products.
1. DELETE Product
Problem: Delete products over $50.
1. DELETE Product WHERE UnitPrice > 50
Problem: Delete customer with Id = 21.
1. DELETE Customer WHERE Id = 21
This is a more common scenario in which a single record is deleted.
SQL ORDER BY Clause
 SELECT returns records in no particular order.
 To ensure a specific order use the ORDER BY clause.
 ORDER BY allows sorting by one or more columns.
 Records can be returned in ascending or descending order.
The SQL ORDER BY syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE condition ORDER BY
Column-names

SQL ORDER BY Examples
Problem: List all suppliers in alphabetical order
1. SELECT CompanyName, ContactName, City, Country FROM Supplier
ORDER BY CompanyName
The default sort order is ascending, that is, low-high or 1-100
Problem: List all suppliers in reverse alphabetical order
1. SELECT CompanyName, ContactName, City, Country FROM Supplier
ORDER BY CompanyName DESC
The keyword DESC denotes descending, i.e., reverse order 100 - 1.
Problem: List all customers ordered by country, then by city within each country
ordering by one or more columns is possible.
1. SELECT FirstName, LastName, City, Country FROM Customer
ORDER BY Country, City
Problem: List all suppliers in the USA, Japan, and Germany, ordered by city,
then by company name in reverse order
1. SELECT Id, CompanyName, City, Country FROM Supplier WHERE Country
IN ('USA', 'Japan', 'Germany') ORDER BY Country ASC, CompanyName
DESC
This shows that you can order by more than one column.
ASC denotes ascending, but is optional as it is the default sort order.
Problem: Show all orders, sorted by total amount, the largest first, within each
year
1. SELECT Id, OrderDate, CustomerId, TotalAmount FROM [Order] ORDER
BY YEAR(OrderDate) ASC, TotalAmount DESC
Note: DESC means descending, but is optional as it is the default sort order.
[Order] must be bracketed because it also is a key work in SQL.
Notice the year breakpoints: 2012 - 2013 and 2013 - 2014. Each year starts with
the highest TotalAmounts.

This shows that other data types, such as numbers, dates, and bits can also be
sorted.
Note: YEAR is a built-in function which returns the year from a date.
SQL SELECT TOP Statement
 The SELECT TOP statement returns a specified number of records.
 SELECT TOP is useful when working with very large datasets.
 Non SQL Server databases use keywords like LIMIT, OFFSET, and ROWNUM.
The SQL SELECT TOP syntax
1. SELECT TOP n column-names FROM table-name
SQL SELECT TOP
Problem: List top 10 most expensive products
1. SELECT TOP 10 Id, ProductName, UnitPrice, Package FROM Product
ORDER BY UnitPrice DESC
SQL OFFSET-FETCH Clause
 OFFSET excludes the first set of records.
 OFFSET can only be used with an ORDER BY clause.
 OFFSET with FETCH NEXT returns a defined window of records.
 OFFSET with FETCH NEXT is great for building pagination support.
The SQL ORDER BY OFFSET syntax
The general syntax to exclude first n records is:
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name ORDER BY column-names
OFFSET n ROWS
To exclude first n records and return only the next m records:
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name ORDER BY column-names
OFFSET n ROWS FETCH NEXT m ROWS ONLY
This will return only record (n + 1) to (n + 1 + m). See example below.

SQL OFFSET-FETCH Examples
Problem: Get all but the 10 most expensive products sorted by price
1. SELECT Id, ProductName, UnitPrice, Package FROM Product
ORDER BY UnitPrice DESC OFFSET 10 ROWS
Problem: Get the 10th to 15th most expensive products sorted by price
ORDER BY UnitPrice DESC OFFSET 10 ROWS FETCH NEXT 5 ROWS ONLY
SQL SELECT DISTINCT Statement
 SELECT DISTINCT returns only distinct (different) values.
 SELECT DISTINCT eliminates duplicate records from the results.
 DISTINCT can be used with aggregates: COUNT, AVG, MAX, etc.
 DISTINCT operates on a single column. DISTINCT for multiple columns is not supported.
The SQL SELECT DISTINCT syntax
1. SELECT DISTINCT column-name FROM table-name
Can be used with COUNT and other aggregates
1. SELECT COUNT (DISTINCT column-name)FROM table-name
SQL SELECT Examples
Problem: List all supplier countries in alphabetical order.
1. SELECT DISTINCT Country FROM Supplier ORDER BY
COUNTRY
Problem: List the number of supplier countries
1. SELECT COUNT (DISTINCT Country) FROM Supplier

SQL SELECT MIN, MAX Statement
 SELECT MIN returns the minimum value for a column.
 SELECT MAX returns the maximum value for a column.
The SQL SELECT MIN and MAX syntax
The general MIN syntax is:
1. SELECT MIN(column-name) FROM table-name
The general MAX syntax is:
1. SELECT MAX(column-name) FROM table-name
SQL SELECT MAX and MIN Examples
Problem: Find the largest order placed in 2014
1. SELECT MAX(TotalAmount) FROM [Order] WHERE YEAR(OrderDate) =
2014
Problem: Find the last order date in 2013
1. SELECT MAX(OrderDate) FROM [Order] WHERE YEAR(OrderDate) =
2013 MIN and MAX can also be used with numeric and date types.
SQL SELECT COUNT, SUM, AVG
 SELECT COUNT returns a count of the number of data values.
 SELECT SUM returns the sum of the data values.
 SELECT AVG returns the average of the data values.
The SQL SELECT COUNT, SUM, and AVG syntax
The general COUNT syntax is:
1. SELECT COUNT(column-name) FROM table-name
The general SUM syntax is:
1. SELECT SUM(column-name)FROM table-name
The general AVG syntax is:
1. SELECT AVG(column-name)FROM table-name

SQL SELECT COUNT, SUM, and AVG Examples
Problem: Find the number of customers
1. SELECT COUNT(Id)FROM Customer
Problem: Compute the total amount sold in 2013
1. SELECT SUM(TotalAmount) FROM [Order] WHERE YEAR(OrderDate) =
2013
Problem: Compute the average size of all orders
1. SELECT AVG(TotalAmount) FROM [Order]
SQL WHERE AND, OR, NOT Clause
 WHERE conditions can be combined with AND, OR, and NOT.
 A WHERE clause with AND requires that two conditions are true.
 A WHERE clause with OR requires that one of two conditions is true.
 A WHERE clause with NOT negates the specified condition.
The WHERE with AND, OR, NOT syntax
A WHERE clause with AND:
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE condition1 AND
condition2
A WHERE clause with OR:
1. UPDATE table-name SET column-name = value WHERE condition1 OR
condition2
A WHERE clause with NOT:
1. DELETE table-name WHERE NOT condition
SQL WHERE with AND, OR, and NOT Examples
Problem: Get customer named Thomas Hardy
1. SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, City, Country FROM Customer
WHERE FirstName = 'Thomas' AND LastName = 'Hardy'

Problem: List all customers from Spain or France
WHERE Country = 'Spain' OR Country = 'France'
Problem: List all customers that are not from the USA
WHERE NOT Country = 'USA'
Problem: List all orders that not between $50 and $15000
1. SELECT Id, OrderDate, CustomerId, TotalAmount FROM [Order]
WHERE NOT (TotalAmount >= 50 AND TotalAmount <= 15000) ORDER BY
TotalAmount DESC
SQL WHERE BETWEEN Clause
 WHERE BETWEEN returns values that fall within a given range.
 WHERE BETWEEN is a shorthand for >= AND <=.
 BETWEEN operators is inclusive: begin and end values are included. The
definitive guide for data professionals
The SQL WHERE BETWEEN syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE column-name
BETWEEN value1 AND value2
SQL WHERE BETWEEN Examples
Problem: List all products between $10 and $20
1. SELECT Id, ProductName, UnitPrice FROM Product WHERE UnitPrice
BETWEEN 10 AND 20 ORDER BY UnitPrice
Problem: List all products not between $10 and $100 sorted by price.
NOT BETWEEN 5 AND 100 ORDER BY UnitPrice

Problem: Get the number of orders and amount sold between Jan 1, 2013 and Jan
31, 2013.
1. SELECT COUNT(Id), SUM(TotalAmount)FROM [Order] WHERE OrderDate
BETWEEN '1/1/2013' AND '1/31/2013'
SQL WHERE IN Clause
 WHERE IN returns values that matches values in a list or sub query.
 WHERE IN is a shorthand for multiple OR conditions.
The SQL WHERE IN syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE column-name IN
(values)
SQL WHERE IN Examples
Problem: List all suppliers from the USA, UK, OR Japan
1. SELECT Id, CompanyName, City, Country FROM Supplier WHERE Country
IN ('USA', 'UK', and ‘Japan’)
Problem: List all products that are not exactly $10, $20, $30, $40, or $50
NOT IN (10, 20, 30, 40, 50)
Problem: List all customers that are from the same countries as the suppliers.
1. SELECT Id, FirstName, LastName, Country FROM Customer WHERE
Country IN (SELECT Country FROM Supplier)

SQL WHERE LIKE Statement
 WHERE LIKE determines if a character string matches a pattern.
 Use WHERE LIKE when only a fragment of a text value is known.
 WHERE LIKE supports two wildcard match options: % and _.
The SQL WHERE LIKE syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE column-
name LIKE value
Optional Wildcard characters allowed in 'value' are % (percent) and _
(underscore).
A % matches any string with zero or more characters.
An _ matches any single character.
SQL WHERE LIKE Examples
Problem: List all products with names that start with 'Ca'
1. SELECT Id, ProductName, UnitPrice, Package FROM Product WHERE
ProductName LIKE 'Ca%'
Problem: List all products that start with 'Cha' or 'Chan' and have one more
character.
WHERE ProductName LIKE 'Cha_' OR ProductName LIKE 'Chan_'
SQL IS NULL Clause
 NULL is a special value that signifies 'no value'.
 Comparing a column to NULL using the = operator is undefined.
 Instead, use WHERE IS NULL or WHERE IS NOT NULL.
The SQL WHERE IS NULL syntax

1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE column-name IS NULL
The general not null syntax is:
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE column-name IS NOT
NULL
SQL WHERE IS NULL Examples
Problem: List all suppliers that have no fax number
1. SELECT Id, CompanyName, Phone, Fax FROM Supplier WHERE Fax IS
NULL
Problem: List all suppliers that do have a fax number
1. SELECT Id, CompanyName, Phone, Fax FROM Supplier WHERE Fax IS
NOT NULL
SQL GROUP BY Clause
 The GROUP BY clause groups records into summary rows.
 GROUP BY returns one records for each group.
 GROUP BY typically also involves aggregates: COUNT, MAX, SUM, AVG, etc.
 GROUP BY can group by one or more columns.
The SQL GROUP BY syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE condition GROUP BY
column-names
The general syntax with ORDER BY is:
column-names ORDER BY column-names

SQL GROUP BY Examples
Problem: List the number of customers in each country
1. SELECT COUNT(Id), Country FROM Customer GROUP BY Country
Problem: List the number of customers in each country sorted high to low
ORDER BY COUNT(Id) DESC
Problem: List the total amount ordered for each customer
SELECT SUM(O.TotalPrice), C.FirstName, C.LastName FROM [Order] O
JOIN Customer C ON O.CustomerId = C.Id GROUP BY C.FirstName,
C.LastName ORDER BY SUM(O.TotalPrice) DESC
This query uses a JOIN with Customer to obtain customer names
SQL HAVING Clause
 HAVING filters records that work on summarized GROUP BY results.
 HAVING applies to summarized group records, whereas WHERE applies to
individual records.
 Only the groups that meet the HAVING criteria will be returned.
 HAVING requires that a GROUP BY clause is present.
 WHERE and HAVING can be in the same query.
The SQL HAVING syntax
GROUP BY column-names HAVING condition
The general syntax with ORDER BY is:
column- names HAVING condition ORDER BY column-names

SQL GROUP BY Examples
Problem: List the number of customers in each country. Only include countries
with more than 10 customers.
Problem: List the number of customers in each country, except the USA, sorted
high to low.
Only include countries with 9 or more customers.
1. SELECT COUNT(Id), Country FROM Customer WHERE Country <> 'USA'
GROUP BY Country HAVING COUNT (Id) >= 9 ORDER BY COUNT(Id) DESC
Problem: List all customer with average orders between $1000 and $1200.
SELECT AVG(TotalAmount), FirstName, LastName FROM [Order] O JOIN
Customer C ON O.CustomerId = C.Id GROUP BY FirstName, LastName
HAVING AVG(TotalAmount) BETWEEN 1000 AND 1200
SQLAlias
 An Alias is a shorthand for a table or column name.
 Aliases reduce the amount of typing required to enter a query.
 Complex queries with aliases are generally easier to read.
 Aliases are useful with JOINs and aggregates: SUM, COUNT, etc.
 An Alias only exists for the duration of the query.
The SQL Alias syntax
1. SELECT column-name AS alias-name FROM table-name alias-name
WHERE condition

SQL Alias Examples
Problem: List total customers in each country.
Display results with easy to understand column headers.
1. SELECT COUNT (C.Id) AS TotalCustomers, C.Country AS Nation FROM
Customer C GROUP BY C.Country TotalCustomers and Nation are column
aliases.
The table alias (C) in this example is not particularly useful.
Problem: List the total amount ordered by customer
with easy to read column headers
1. SELECT C.Id AS Identifier, C.LastName + ', ' + C.FirstName AS CustomerName,
SUM(O.TotalAmount) AS TotalSpent FROM [Order] O JOIN Customer C ON
O.CustomerId = C.Id GROUP BY C.Id, C.LastName + ', ' + C.FirstName ORDER BY
TotalSpent DESC
The aliases significantly simplify writing the JOIN and ORDER BY clauses.
The C alias in C.Id helps identify the Customer Id rather then the Order Id.
SQL JOIN
 A SQL JOIN combines records from two tables.
 A JOIN locates related column values in the two tables.
 A query can contain zero, one, or multiple JOIN operations.
 INNER JOIN is the same as JOIN; the keyword INNER is optional.
Different types of JOINs
 (INNER) JOIN: Select records that have matching values in both tables.

 LEFT (OUTER) JOIN: Select records from the first (left-most) table with
matching right table records.
 RIGHT (OUTER) JOIN: Select records from the second (right-most) table with
matching left table records.
 FULL (OUTER) JOIN: Selects all records that match either left or right table
records.
All INNER and OUTER keywords are optional.
Details about the differences between these JOINs are available in subsequent tutorial pages.
The SQL JOIN syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name1 JOIN table-name2 ON
column-name1 = column-name2 WHERE condition
The general syntax with INNER is:
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name1 INNER JOIN table-name2
ON column-name1 = column-name2 WHERE condition
Note: The INNER keyword is optional: it is the default as well as the most common
only used JOIN operation.

SQL JOIN Examples
Problem: List all orders with customer information
1. SELECT OrderNumber, TotalAmount, FirstName, LastName, City,
Country FROM [Order] JOIN Customer ON [Order].CustomerId =
Customer.Id
In this example using table aliases for [Order] and Customer might have been
useful.
Problem: List all orders with product names, quantities, and prices
1. SELECT O.OrderNumber, CONVERT(date,O.OrderDate) AS Date,
P.ProductName, I.Quantity, I.UnitPrice FROM [Order] O JOIN OrderItem I
ON O.Id = I.OrderId JOIN Product P ON P.Id = I.ProductId ORDER BY
O.OrderNumber
This query performs two JOIN operations with 3 tables.
The O, I, and P are table aliases. Date is a column alias.
SQL LEFT JOIN
 LEFT JOIN performs a join starting with the first (left-most) table and then
any matching second (right-most) table records.
 LEFT JOIN and LEFT OUTER JOIN are the same.
The SQL LEFT JOIN syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name1 LEFT JOIN table-name2

SQL LEFT JOIN Example
The general LEFT OUTER JOIN syntax is:
SELECT OrderNumber, TotalAmount, FirstName, LastName, City, Country
FROM Customer C LEFT JOIN [Order] O ON O.CustomerId = C.Id ORDER BY
TotalAmount
This will list all customers, whether they placed any order or not.
The ORDER BY TotalAmount shows the customers without orders first
(i.e.TotalMount is NULL).
SQL RIGHT JOIN
 RIGHT JOIN performs a join starting with the second (right-most) table and
then any matching first (left-most) table records.
 RIGHT JOIN and RIGHT OUTER JOIN are the same.
The SQL RIGHT JOIN syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name1 RIGHT JOIN table-name2
The general RIGHT OUTER JOIN syntax is:
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name1 RIGHT OUTER JOIN table-
name2 ON column-name1 = column-name2 WHERE condition
SQL RIGHT JOIN Example

Problem: List customers that have not placed orders
1. SELECT TotalAmount, FirstName, LastName, City, Country FROM [Order]
O RIGHT JOIN Customer C ON O.CustomerId = C.Id WHERE TotalAmount IS
NULL
This returns customers that, when joined, have no matching order.
SQL FULL JOIN
 FULL JOIN returns all matching records from both tables whether the other
table matches or not.
 FULL JOIN can potentially return very large datasets.
 FULL JOIN and FULL OUTER JOIN are the same.
The SQL FULL JOIN syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name1 FULL JOIN table-name2
The general FULL OUTER JOIN syntax is:
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name1 FULL OUTER JOIN table-
name2 ON column-name1 = column-name2 WHERE condition
SQL FULL JOIN Examples
Problem: Match all customers and suppliers by country
1. SELECT C.FirstName, C.LastName, C.Country AS CustomerCountry,
S.Country AS SupplierCountry, S.CompanyName FROM Customer C FULL
JOIN Supplier S ON C.Country = S.Country ORDER BY C.Country, S.Country

This returns suppliers that have no customers in their country,
and customers that have no suppliers in their country,
and customers and suppliers that are from the same country.
SQL SELF JOIN
 A self JOIN occurs when a table takes a 'selfie'.
 A self JOIN is a regular join but the table is joined with itself.
 This can be useful when modeling hierarchies.
 They are also useful for comparisons within a table
The SQL Self JOIN syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name T1 JOIN table-name T2 WHERE
condition
T1 and T2 are different table aliases for the same table
SQL Self JOIN Examples
Problem: Match customers that are from the same city and country
1. SELECT B.FirstName AS FirstName1, B.LastName AS LastName1,
A.FirstName AS FirstName2, A.LastName AS LastName2,
B.City, B.Country FROM Customer A, Customer B WHERE A.Id <> B.Id
AND A.City = B.City AND A.Country = B.Country ORDER BY A.Country
A and B are aliases for the same Customer table.
SQL UNION Clause
 UNION combines the result sets of two queries.
 Column data types in the two queries must match.
 UNION combines by column position rather than column name.

The SQL UNION syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name
UNION
SELECT column-names FROM table-name
SQL UNION Examples
Problem: List all contacts, i.e., suppliers and customers.
1. SELECT 'Customer' As Type, FirstName + ' ' + LastName AS ContactName,
City, Country, Phone FROM Customer
UNION
SELECT 'Supplier', ContactName, City, Country, Phone FROM Supplier
This is a simple example in which the table alias would be useful
SQL Subqueries
 A subquery is a SQL query within a query.
 Subqueries are nested queries that provide data to the enclosing query.
 Subqueries can return individual values or a list of records
 Subqueries must be enclosed with parenthesis
The SQL subquery syntax
There is no general syntax;
subqueries are regular queries placed inside parenthesis.
Subqueries can be used in different ways and at different locations inside a query:
Here is an subquery with the IN operator
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name1 WHERE value IN (SELECT
column-name FROM table-name2 WHERE condition)
Subqueries can also assign column values for each record:
1. SELECT column1 = (SELECT column-name FROM table-
name WHERE condition),column-names FROM table-name
WEHRE condition

SQL Subquery Examples
Problem: List products with order quantities greater than 100.
1. SELECT ProductName FROM Product WHERE Id IN (SELECT ProductId
FROM OrderItem WHERE Quantity > 100)
SQL Subquery Examples
Problem: List all customers with their total number of orders
1. SELECT FirstName, LastName,OrderCount = (SELECT COUNT(O.Id) FROM
[Order] O WHERE O.CustomerId = C.Id)FROM Customer C
This is a correlated subquery because the subquery references the enclosing
query (i.e. the C.Id in the WHERE clause).
SQL WHERE ANY, ALL Clause
 ANY and ALL keywords are used with a WHERE or HAVING clause.
 ANY and ALL operate on subqueries that return multiple values.
 ANY returns true if any of the subquery values meet the condition.
 ALL returns true if all of the subquery values meet the condition.
The SQL WHERE ANY and ALL syntax
The general ANY syntax is:
operator ANY (SELECT column-name FROM table-name WHERE condition)
The general ALL syntax is:
operator ALL (SELECT column-name FROM table-name WHERE condition)
SQL ANY Example
Problem: Which products were sold by the unit (i.e. quantity = 1)
1. SELECT ProductName FROM Product WHERE Id = ANY (SELECT ProductId
FROM OrderItem WHERE Quantity = 1)

SQL ALL Example
Problem: List customers who placed orders that are
larger than the average of each customer order
1. SELECT DISTINCT FirstName + ' ' + LastName as CustomerName
FROM Customer, [Order] WHERE Customer.Id = [Order].CustomerId
AND TotalAmount > ALL (SELECT AVG(TotalAmount) FROM [Order]
GROUP BY CustomerId)
SQL WHERE EXISTS Statement
 WHERE EXISTS tests for the existence of any records in a subquery.
 EXISTS returns true if the subquery returns one or more records.
 EXISTS is commonly used with correlated subqueries.
The SQL EXISTS syntax
1. SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT column- name FROM table-name WHERE condition)
SQL EXISTS Example
Problem: Find suppliers with products over $100.
1. SELECT CompanyName FROM Supplier WHERE EXISTS (SELECT
ProductName FROM Product WHERE SupplierId = Supplier.Id
AND UnitPrice > 100)
This is a correlated subquery because the subquery references the enclosing
query (with Supplier.Id).
SQL SELECT INTO Statement
 SELECT INTO copies data from one table into a new table.
 SELECT INTO creates a new table located in the default file group.
The SQL SELECT INTO syntax

1. SELECT column-names INTO new-table-name FROM table-name
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT column-name FROM table-name WHERE
condition)
The new table will have column names as specified in the query.
SQL SELECT INTO Example
Problem: Copy all suppliers from USA to a new SupplierUSA table.
1. SELECT * INTO SupplierUSA FROM Supplier
WHERE Country = 'USA'
SQL INSERT INTO SELECT Statement
 INSERT INTO SELECT copies data from one table to another table.
 INSERT INTO SELECT requires that data types in source and target tables
match.
The SQL INSERT INTO SELECT syntax
1. INSERT INTO table-name (column-names)
SELECT column-names FROM table-name WHERE condition
SQL INSERT SELECT INTO
Problem: Copy all Canadian suppliers into the Customer table
