This document provides an overview of SQL and MySQL. It discusses topics such as creating and deleting databases and tables, importing data, using IDEs like Execute Query, configuring connections, performing queries with SELECT statements including filters, joins, and aggregates, updating and deleting data, indexing, and working with dates, strings, and numbers. Examples of SQL queries are provided throughout to demonstrate different SQL syntax and functions.

1. SQL
USING MYSQL
By Shahriar Robbani

2. MySQL
• RDBMS
• Faster Than File System
• Easy to Query
• Download Exercise Files

mi3zvg/SQL.zip

3. Creating and Deleting Database
• Creating a DB
– CREATE DATABASE myDB
• Deleting a DB
– DROP DATABASE myDB

4. Creating Table
create table student(
id integer not null auto_increment primary key,
name varchar(255),
address varchar(255),
section varchar(255),
state char(2),
zip char(10)
);

5. Deleting Table
drop table student;

6. Importing sql
• Start mysql
– find mysql.exe in xampp folder
– Then type
• Mysql
• It starts
• See Databases
– show Databases;
• Importing
– mysql -u root -p < /home/shahriar/Desktop/world-mysql.
sql
• Skip password because no password is used for root

7. Using IDE
• Execute Query
– A cross platform IDE for SQL
– Need a JDBC driver to connect to Database
– Fast and auto suggestion will provide
• Download
– http://executequery.org/download

8. Configure Execute Query
• Start the MySQL server
• Open Execute Query
• Follow the next steps

9. Configure Execute
Query(Cont.)
Click on New Connection

10. Configure Execute
Query(Cont.)
• In Connection Name any name
• User Name is must be choose as like
the user name exist in the MySQL DB
• Password field will contain the
password for the specific user of the
username provided
• Host Name will be localhost because
the server is running on your own
computer
• Port is 3306 for MySQL database
• Data Source is the name of the
database from which you want to
manipulate data
• JDBC URL should like that
jdbc:mysql://[host_name]:[port_num
ber]/[name_of_the database]
• In this case our database is world so
the url is
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/world
• But now we need to select a JDBC
Driver
• To add new driver please click on
New Driver and follow next slides

11. Configure Execute
Query(Cont.)
• In the Driver Name just put
any name
• In Description Put some
description which is not a
must
• Now Database Drop Down
Select MySQL Database
• Now Click Add Library in this
step we add mysql drive which
is a jar file provided in the
execute query folder and the
go into lib folder.
• See the next slide

12. Configure Execute Query(Cont.)
Just Click Select You will Just Click save

13. Configure Execute Query(Cont.)
Click Find and select the
following the click ok Its Done!

14. Configure Execute Query(Cont.)
Click Connect

15. Configure Execute Query(Cont.)
You will see a text pane where you can write queries
and when you click run button you will see the output

16. Select Statement
• Entering into a db
– use <name of db>;
– Ex. use test;
• See tables
– show tables;
• Select the whole table
– SELECT * FROM <Table Name>;
– Ex. SELECT * FROM item;

17. Select Statement (Cont.)
• Simple from
• SELECT ‘Hello, World’;
– It doesn't querying a dB just show the values
• Show every thing of a table
– SELECT * FROM Country;
– * means all the columns
• Using functions with Select
– SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Country;

18. Select Statement (Cont.)
KEYWORD DESCRIPTION
SELECT Fundamental Statement For Queries
FROM Provides Table for Select Statement
COUNT() Function - COUNT()s values

19. Select Statement (Cont.)
• Show specific columns of a table
– SELECT Name, LifeExpectancy FROM Country;
• Showing specific columns of a table changing
there heading
– SELECT Name As Country, LifeExpectancy As ‘Life
Expectancy ’ FROM Country;
– ‘Life Expectancy ’ (Here ‘’ is needed because this
name include space. MySQL may thing that
Expectancy is another statement)

20. Select Statement (Cont.)
• Using where
– SELECT Name, Continent, Region FROM Country
WHERE Continent = 'Europe';
KEYWORD DESCRIPTION
SELECT Fundamental Statement For Queries
FROM Provides Table for Select Statement
WHERE Provides Filter Condition for SELECT

21. Select Statement (Cont.)

FROM City
WHERE Name LIKE '%Z%';
• A query that Compares a list
SELECT CountryCode, Name, Population
FROM City
WHERE CountryCode IN ( 'USA', 'CAN', 'MAX'
);

32. Filtering data with IN
• Adding more specification
SELECT CountryCode, Name, Population
FROM City
WHERE CountryCode IN ( 'USA', 'CAN',
'MAX' )
AND Population >= 5000000;

33. Removing duplicates with DISTINCT

Country WHERE HeadOfState LIKE 'Elis%‘;
• Showin result without duplicates
SELECT DISTINCT GovernmentForm, HeadOfState
FROM Country WHERE HeadOfState LIKE 'Elis%';
• Showing all results
SELECT ALL GovernmentForm, HeadOfState FROM
Country WHERE HeadOfState LIKE 'Elis%'

34. Some KEYWORDs
