Definitions of Database
 Def 1: Database is an organized collection of
logically related data
 Def 2: A database is a shared collection of logically
related data that is stored to meet the requirements of
different users of an organization
 Def 3: A database is a self-describing collection of
integrated records
 Def 4: A database models a particular real world
system in the computer in the form of data

What is a Database
 Shared collection of logically related data (and a
description of this data), designed to meet the
information needs of an organization.
 System catalog (metadata) provides description of
data to enable program–data independence.
 Logically related data comprises entities,
attributes, and relationships of an organization’s
information.
University Database Example
• Application program examples
– Add new students, instructors, and
courses
– Register students for courses, and
generate class rosters
– Assign grades to students, compute
grade point averages (GPA) and generate
transcripts
• In the early days, database
applications were built directly on top
of file systems
Types of Databases
There are several types of databases, few important
of them are briefly explained below.
 Hierarchical databases
 Object-oriented databases
 Relational databases
 NoSQL databases
Hierarchical Databases
• This database follows the progression of data being categorized
in ranks or levels, wherein data is categorized based on a
common point of linkage.
Object-Oriented Databases
Information stored in a database is capable of being
represented as an object which response as an instance of
the database model. Therefore, the object can be referenced
and called without any difficulty
Relational Databases
In this database, every piece of information has a relationship with
every other piece of information. This is on account of every data
value in the database having a unique identity in the form of a record.
NoSQL Databases
A NoSQL originally referring to non SQL or non-relational is a
database that provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data.
This data is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in
relational databases.
Database Management System
(DBMS)
• DBMS contains information about a particular enterprise
– Collection of interrelated data
– Set of programs to access the data
– An environment that is both convenient and efficient to use
• Database Applications:
– Banking: transactions
– Airlines: reservations, schedules
– Universities: registration, grades
– Sales: customers, products, purchases
– Online retailers: order tracking, customized recommendations
– Manufacturing: production, inventory, orders, supply chain
– Human resources: employee records, salaries, tax deductions
• Databases can be very large.
• Databases touch all aspects of our lives
Drawbacks of using file systems to store data
• Data redundancy and inconsistency
– Multiple file formats, duplication of
information in different files
• Difficulty in accessing data
– Need to write a new program to carry out each
new task
• Data isolation
– Multiple files and formats
• Integrity problems
– Integrity constraints (e.g., account balance >
Drawbacks of using file systems to store data (Cont.)
• Atomicity of updates
– Failures may leave database in an inconsistent state
with partial updates carried out
– Example: Transfer of funds from one account to
another should either complete or not happen at all
• Concurrent access by multiple users
– Concurrent access needed for performance
– Uncontrolled concurrent accesses can lead to
inconsistencies
• Example: Two people reading a balance (say 100) and
updating it by withdrawing money (say 50 each) at the
same time. Database systems offer solutions to all the
above problems
SQL Introduction
Standard language for querying and manipulating data
Structured Query Language
Many standards out there:
• ANSI SQL, SQL92 (a.k.a. SQL2), SQL99 (a.k.a. SQL3), ….
• Vendors support various subsets: watch for fun discussions in class !
SQL
• Data Definition Language (DDL)
– Create/alter/delete tables and their attributes
– Following lectures...
• Data Manipulation Language (DML)
– Query one or more tables – discussed next !
– Insert/delete/modify tuples in tables
 Syntax to create a database
>Create database DabaseName;
 -- Syntax to create a table
>CREATE TABLE Table_Name (
Column_Name1 Data_Type (Size),
Column_Name2 Data_Type (Size));
>ALTER TABLE Table_Name ADD New_Column_Name
Data_Type (Size);
>TRUNCATE TABLE Table_Name
>DROP TABLE Table_Name
DDL Syntax Commands
List of DDL commands:
•CREATE: This command is used to create the database or
its objects (like table, index, function, views, store
procedure, and triggers).
•DROP: This command is used to delete objects from the
database.
•ALTER: This is used to alter the structure of the database.
•TRUNCATE: This is used to remove all records from a
table, including all spaces allocated for the records are
removed.
•COMMENT: This is used to add comments to the data
dictionary.
•RENAME: This is used to rename an object existing in the
database.
Tables in SQL

Powergizmo $29.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks
SingleTouch $149.99 Photography Canon
MultiTouch $203.99 Household Hitachi
Product
Attribute names
Table name
Tuples or rows
Tables Explained
• The schema of a table is the table name and
its attributes:
Product(PName, Price, Category, Manfacturer)
• A key is an attribute whose values are unique;
we underline a key
Product(PName, Price, Category, Manfacturer)
Data Types in SQL
• Atomic types:
– Characters: CHAR(20), VARCHAR(50)
– Numbers: INT, BIGINT, SMALLINT, FLOAT
– Others: MONEY, DATETIME, …
• Every attribute must have an atomic type
– Hence tables are flat
– Why ?
Tables Explained
• A tuple = a record
– Restriction: all attributes are of atomic type
• A table = a set of tuples
– Like a list…
– …but it is unorderd:
no first(), no next(), no last().
SQL Query
Basic form: (plus many many more bells and whistles)
Retrieving Data
SELECT <attributes>
FROM <one or more relations>
WHERE <conditions>
• SELECT identifies the columns to be displayed
• FROM identifies the table containing those columns
Selecting All Columns
SELECT *
FROM departments;
Selecting Specific Columns
department_id, location_id
SELECT

Details
• Case insensitive:
– Same: SELECT Select select
– Same: Product product
– Different: ‘Seattle’ ‘seattle’
• Constants:
– ‘abc’ - yes
– “abc” - no
The LIKE operator
• s LIKE p: pattern matching on strings
• p may contain two special symbols:
– % = any sequence of characters
– _ = any single character
SELECT *
FROM Products
WHERE PName LIKE ‘%gizmo%’

Filtering Data
Structured Query Language (SQL) allows filtering data
during querying.
The GROUP BY statement forms groups of those rows
with the same values or satisfy a specific
expression. For example, suppose in a database of school
students, you may need to find the students in particular age
groups. This is where GROUP BY statement helps.
The GROUP BY statement is usually used along with
aggregate functions such
as COUNT(), MIN(), MAX(), AVG(), SUM(), etc. This helps
us group the resultant output of a query by one or more
columns.
QUERY...
GROUP BY
EXPRESSION...
After insertion of the above entries table is displayed as shown
below :
Assume that we need to print all the employment statutes in
our relation (table TEST) along with the number of
occurrences in the relation.
Joins
JOIN clause is used to combine rows from two or more tables,
based on a related column between them.
Product (pname, price, category, manufacturer)
Company (cname, stockPrice, country)
Find all products under $200 manufactured in Japan;
return their names and prices.
SELECT PName, Price

Meaning (Semantics) of SQL
Queries
SELECT a1, a2, …, ak
FROM R1 AS x1, R2 AS x2, …, Rn AS xn
WHERE Conditions
Answer = {}
for x1 in R1 do
for x2 in R2 do
…..
for xn in Rn do
if Conditions
then Answer = Answer  {(a1,…,ak)}
return Answer
SELECT DISTINCT R.A
FROM R, S, T
WHERE R.A=S.A OR R.A=T.A
An Unintuitive Query
Computes R  (S  T) But what if S = f ?
What does it compute ?
Subqueries Returning Relations
SELECT Company.city
FROM Company
WHERE Company.name IN
(SELECT Product.maker
FROM Purchase , Product
WHERE Product.pname=Purchase.product
AND Purchase .buyer = ‘Joe Blow‘);
Return cities where one can find companies that manufacture
products bought by Joe Blow
Company(name, city)
Product(pname, maker)
Purchase(id, product, buyer)
Subqueries Returning Relations
SELECT Company.city
FROM Company, Product, Purchase
WHERE Company.name= Product.maker
AND Product.pname = Purchase.product
AND Purchase.buyer = ‘Joe Blow’
Is it equivalent to this ?
Beware of duplicates !
Removing Duplicates
Now
they are
equivalent
SELECT DISTINCT Company.city
FROM Company
WHERE Company.name IN
(SELECT Product.maker
FROM Purchase , Product
WHERE Product.pname=Purchase.product
AND Purchase .buyer = ‘Joe Blow‘);
SELECT DISTINCT Company.city
FROM Company, Product, Purchase
WHERE Company.name= Product.maker
AND Product.pname = Purchase.product
AND Purchase.buyer = ‘Joe Blow’
Subqueries Returning Relations
SELECT name
FROM Product
WHERE price > ALL (SELECT price
FROM Purchase
WHERE maker=‘Gizmo-Works’)
Product ( pname, price, category, maker)
Find products that are more expensive than all those produced
By “Gizmo-Works”
You can also use: s > ALL R
s > ANY R
EXISTS R
Question for Database Fans
and their Friends
• Can we express this query as a single
SELECT-FROM-WHERE query, without
subqueries ?
Question for Database Fans
and their Friends
• Answer: all SFW queries are
monotone (figure out what this means).
A query with ALL is not monotone
Correlated Queries
SELECT DISTINCT title
FROM Movie AS x
WHERE year <> ANY
(SELECT year
FROM Movie
WHERE title = x.title);
Movie (title, year, director, length)
Find movies whose title appears more than once.
Note (1) scope of variables (2) this can still be expressed as single SFW
correlation
Complex Correlated Query
Product ( pname, price, category, maker, year)
• Find products (and their manufacturers) that are more expensive
than all products made by the same manufacturer before 1972
Very powerful ! Also much harder to optimize.
SELECT DISTINCT pname, maker
FROM Product AS x
WHERE price > ALL (SELECT price
FROM Product AS y
WHERE x.maker = y.maker AND y.year < 1972);
Aggregation
SELECT count(*)
FROM Product
WHERE year > 1995
Except count, all aggregations apply to a single attribute
SELECT avg(price)
FROM Product
WHERE maker=“Toyota”
SQL supports several aggregation operations:
sum, count, min, max, avg
COUNT applies to duplicates, unless otherwise stated:
SELECT Count(category)
FROM Product
WHERE year > 1995
same as Count(*)
We probably want:
SELECT Count(DISTINCT category)
FROM Product
WHERE year > 1995
Aggregation: Count
Purchase(product, date, price, quantity)
More Examples
SELECT Sum(price * quantity)
FROM Purchase
SELECT Sum(price * quantity)
FROM Purchase
WHERE product = ‘bagel’
What do
they mean ?
Simple Aggregations
Purchase
Product Date Price Quantity
Bagel 10/21 1 20
Banana 10/3 0.5 10
Banana 10/10 1 10
Bagel 10/25 1.50 20
SELECT Sum(price * quantity)
FROM Purchase
WHERE product = ‘bagel’
50 (= 20+30)
Grouping and Aggregation
Purchase(product, date, price, quantity)
SELECT product, Sum(price*quantity) AS TotalSales
FROM Purchase
WHERE date > ‘10/1/2005’
GROUP BY product
Let’s see what this means…
Find total sales after 10/1/2005 per product.
Grouping and Aggregation
1. Compute the FROM and WHERE clauses.
2. Group by the attributes in the GROUPBY
3. Compute the SELECT clause: grouped attributes and aggregates.
1&2. FROM-WHERE-GROUPBY
Product Date Price Quantity
Bagel 10/21 1 20
Bagel 10/25 1.50 20
Banana 10/3 0.5 10
Banana 10/10 1 10
3. SELECT
SELECT product, Sum(price*quantity) AS TotalSales
FROM Purchase
WHERE date > ‘10/1/2005’
GROUP BY product
Product Date Price Quantity
Bagel 10/21 1 20
Bagel 10/25 1.50 20
Banana 10/3 0.5 10
Banana 10/10 1 10
Product TotalSales
Bagel 50
Banana 15
GROUP BY v.s. Nested Quereis
SELECT product, Sum(price*quantity) AS TotalSales
FROM Purchase
WHERE date > ‘10/1/2005’
GROUP BY product
SELECT DISTINCT x.product, (SELECT Sum(y.price*y.quantity)
FROM Purchase y
WHERE x.product = y.product
AND y.date > ‘10/1/2005’)
AS TotalSales
FROM Purchase x
WHERE x.date > ‘10/1/2005’
Another Example
SELECT product,
sum(price * quantity) AS SumSales
max(quantity) AS MaxQuantity
FROM Purchase
GROUP BY product
What does
it mean ?
HAVING Clause
SELECT product, Sum(price * quantity)
FROM Purchase
WHERE date > ‘10/1/2005’
GROUP BY product
HAVING Sum(quantity) > 30
Same query, except that we consider only products that had
at least 100 buyers.
HAVING clause contains conditions on aggregates.
General form of Grouping and
Aggregation
SELECT S
FROM R1,…,Rn
WHERE C1
GROUP BY a1,…,ak
HAVING C2
S = may contain attributes a1,…,ak and/or any aggregates but NO OTHER
ATTRIBUTES
C1 = is any condition on the attributes in R1,…,Rn
C2 = is any condition on aggregate expressions
Why ?
General form of Grouping and
Aggregation
Evaluation steps:
1. Evaluate FROM-WHERE, apply condition C1
2. Group by the attributes a1,…,ak
3. Apply condition C2 to each group (may have aggregates)
4. Compute aggregates in S and return the result
SELECT S
FROM R1,…,Rn
WHERE C1
GROUP BY a1,…,ak
HAVING C2
Advanced SQLizing
1. Getting around INTERSECT and EXCEPT
2. Quantifiers
3. Aggregation v.s. subqueries
1. INTERSECT and EXCEPT:
(SELECT R.A, R.B
FROM R)
INTERSECT
(SELECT S.A, S.B
FROM S)
SELECT R.A, R.B
FROM R
WHERE
EXISTS(SELECT *
FROM S
WHERE R.A=S.A and R.B=S.B)
(SELECT R.A, R.B
FROM R)
EXCEPT
(SELECT S.A, S.B
FROM S)
SELECT R.A, R.B
FROM R
WHERE
NOT EXISTS(SELECT *
FROM S
WHERE R.A=S.A and R.B=S.B)
If R, S have no
duplicates, then can
write without
subqueries
(HOW ?)
INTERSECT and EXCEPT: not in SQL Server
2. Quantifiers
Product ( pname, price, company)
Company( cname, city)
Find all companies that make some products with price < 100
SELECT DISTINCT Company.cname
FROM Company, Product
WHERE Company.cname = Product.company and Product.price < 100
Existential: easy ! 
2. Quantifiers
Product ( pname, price, company)
Company( cname, city)
Find all companies s.t. all of their products have price < 100
Universal: hard ! 
Find all companies that make only products with price < 100
same as:
2. Quantifiers
2. Find all companies s.t. all their products have price < 100
1. Find the other companies: i.e. s.t. some product  100
SELECT DISTINCT Company.cname
FROM Company
WHERE Company.cname IN (SELECT Product.company
FROM Product
WHERE Produc.price >= 100
SELECT DISTINCT Company.cname
FROM Company
WHERE Company.cname NOT IN (SELECT Product.company
FROM Product
WHERE Produc.price >= 100
3. Group-by v.s. Nested Query
• Find authors who wrote  10 documents:
• Attempt 1: with nested queries
SELECT DISTINCT Author.name
FROM Author
WHERE count(SELECT Wrote.url
FROM Wrote
WHERE Author.login=Wrote.login)
> 10
This is
SQL by
a novice
Author(login,name)
Wrote(login,url)
3. Group-by v.s. Nested Query
• Find all authors who wrote at least 10
documents:
• Attempt 2: SQL style (with GROUP BY)
SELECT Author.name
FROM Author, Wrote
WHERE Author.login=Wrote.login
GROUP BY Author.name
HAVING count(wrote.url) > 10
This is
SQL by
an expert
No need for DISTINCT: automatically from GROUP BY
3. Group-by v.s. Nested Query
Find authors with vocabulary  10000 words:
SELECT Author.name
FROM Author, Wrote, Mentions
WHERE Author.login=Wrote.login AND Wrote.url=Mentions.url
GROUP BY Author.name
HAVING count(distinct Mentions.word) > 10000
Author(login,name)
Wrote(login,url)
Mentions(url,word)
Two Examples
Store(sid, sname)
Product(pid, pname, price, sid)
Find all stores that sell only products with price > 100
same as:
Find all stores s.t. all their products have price > 100)
SELECT Store.name
FROM Store, Product
WHERE Store.sid = Product.sid
GROUP BY Store.sid, Store.name
HAVING 100 < min(Product.price)
SELECT Store.name
FROM Store
WHERE Store.sid NOT IN
(SELECT Product.sid
FROM Product
WHERE Product.price <= 100)
SELECT Store.name
FROM Store
WHERE
100 < ALL (SELECT Product.price
FROM product
WHERE Store.sid = Product.sid)
Almost equivalent…
Why both ?
Two Examples
Store(sid, sname)
Product(pid, pname, price, sid)
For each store,
find its most expensive product
Two Examples
SELECT Store.sname, max(Product.price)
FROM Store, Product
WHERE Store.sid = Product.sid
GROUP BY Store.sid, Store.sname
SELECT Store.sname, x.pname
FROM Store, Product x
WHERE Store.sid = x.sid and
x.price >=
ALL (SELECT y.price
FROM Product y
WHERE Store.sid = y.sid)
This is easy but doesn’t do what we want:
Better:
But may
return
multiple
product names
per store
Two Examples
SELECT Store.sname, max(x.pname)
FROM Store, Product x
WHERE Store.sid = x.sid and
x.price >=
ALL (SELECT y.price
FROM Product y
WHERE Store.sid = y.sid)
GROUP BY Store.sname
Finally, choose some pid arbitrarily, if there are many
with highest price:
NULLS in SQL
• Whenever we don’t have a value, we can put a NULL
• Can mean many things:
– Value does not exists
– Value exists but is unknown
– Value not applicable
– Etc.
• The schema specifies for each attribute if can be null
(nullable attribute) or not
• How does SQL cope with tables that have NULLs ?
Null Values
• If x= NULL then 4*(3-x)/7 is still NULL
• If x= NULL then x=“Joe” is UNKNOWN
• In SQL there are three boolean values:
FALSE = 0
UNKNOWN = 0.5
TRUE = 1
Null Values
• C1 AND C2 = min(C1, C2)
• C1 OR C2 = max(C1, C2)
• NOT C1 = 1 – C1
Rule in SQL: include only tuples that yield TRUE
SELECT *
FROM Person
WHERE (age < 25) AND
(height > 6 OR weight > 190)
E.g.
age=20
heigth=NULL
weight=200
Null Values
Unexpected behavior:
Some Persons are not included !
SELECT *
FROM Person
WHERE age < 25 OR age >= 25
Null Values
Can test for NULL explicitly:
– x IS NULL
– x IS NOT NULL
Now it includes all Persons
SELECT *
FROM Person
WHERE age < 25 OR age >= 25 OR age IS NULL
Outerjoins
Explicit joins in SQL = “inner joins”:
Product(name, category)
Purchase(prodName, store)
SELECT Product.name, Purchase.store
FROM Product JOIN Purchase ON
Product.name = Purchase.prodName
SELECT Product.name, Purchase.store
FROM Product, Purchase
WHERE Product.name = Purchase.prodName
Same as:
But Products that never sold will be lost !
Outerjoins
Left outer joins in SQL:
Product(name, category)
Purchase(prodName, store)
SELECT Product.name, Purchase.store
FROM Product LEFT OUTER JOIN Purchase ON
Product.name = Purchase.prodName
Name Category
Gizmo gadget
Camera Photo
OneClick Photo
ProdName Store
Gizmo Wiz
Camera Ritz
Camera Wiz
Name Store
Gizmo Wiz
Camera Ritz
Camera Wiz
OneClick NULL
Product Purchase
Application
Compute, for each product, the total number of sales in ‘September’
Product(name, category)
Purchase(prodName, month, store)
SELECT Product.name, count(*)
FROM Product, Purchase
WHERE Product.name = Purchase.prodName
and Purchase.month = ‘September’
GROUP BY Product.name
What’s wrong ?
Application
Compute, for each product, the total number of sales in ‘September’
Product(name, category)
Purchase(prodName, month, store)
SELECT Product.name, count(*)
FROM Product LEFT OUTER JOIN Purchase ON
Product.name = Purchase.prodName
and Purchase.month = ‘September’
GROUP BY Product.name
Now we also get the products who sold in 0 quantity
Outer Joins
• Left outer join:
– Include the left tuple even if there’s no match
• Right outer join:
– Include the right tuple even if there’s no match
• Full outer join:
– Include the both left and right tuples even if there’s no
match
Modifying the Database
Three kinds of modifications
• Insertions
• Deletions
• Updates
Sometimes they are all called “updates”
Insertions
General form:
Missing attribute  NULL.
May drop attribute names if give them in order.
INSERT INTO R(A1,…., An) VALUES (v1,…., vn)
INSERT INTO Purchase(buyer, seller, product, store)
VALUES (‘Joe’, ‘Fred’, ‘wakeup-clock-espresso-machine’,
‘The Sharper Image’)
Example: Insert a new purchase to the database:
Insertions
INSERT INTO PRODUCT(name)
SELECT DISTINCT Purchase.product
FROM Purchase
WHERE Purchase.date > “10/26/01”
The query replaces the VALUES keyword.
Here we insert many tuples into PRODUCT
Insertion: an Example
prodName is foreign key in Product.name
Suppose database got corrupted and we need to fix it:
name listPrice category
gizmo 100 gadgets
prodName buyerName price
camera John 200
gizmo Smith 80
camera Smith 225
Task: insert in Product all prodNames from Purchase
Product
Product(name, listPrice, category)
Purchase(prodName, buyerName, price)
Purchase
Insertion: an Example
INSERT INTO Product(name)
SELECT DISTINCT prodName
FROM Purchase
WHERE prodName NOT IN (SELECT name FROM Product)
name listPrice category
gizmo 100 Gadgets
camera - -
Insertion: an Example
INSERT INTO Product(name, listPrice)
SELECT DISTINCT prodName, price
FROM Purchase
WHERE prodName NOT IN (SELECT name FROM Product)
name listPrice category
gizmo 100 Gadgets
camera 200 -
camera ?? 225 ?? - Depends on the implementation
Deletions
DELETE FROM PURCHASE
WHERE seller = ‘Joe’ AND
product = ‘Brooklyn Bridge’
Factoid about SQL: there is no way to delete only a single
occurrence of a tuple that appears twice
in a relation.
Example:
Updates
UPDATE PRODUCT
SET price = price/2
WHERE Product.name IN
(SELECT product
FROM Purchase
WHERE Date =‘Oct, 25, 1999’);
Example:

Unit4_Lecture-sql.ppt and data science relate

  • 1. Unit-4:SQL for data science Dr. Tarun Pal
  • 2. Definitions of Database  Def 1: Database is an organized collection of logically related data  Def 2: A database is a shared collection of logically related data that is stored to meet the requirements of different users of an organization  Def 3: A database is a self-describing collection of integrated records  Def 4: A database models a particular real world system in the computer in the form of data
  • 3. 3 What is a Database  Shared collection of logically related data (and a description of this data), designed to meet the information needs of an organization.  System catalog (metadata) provides description of data to enable program–data independence.  Logically related data comprises entities, attributes, and relationships of an organization’s information.
  • 4. University Database Example • Application program examples – Add new students, instructors, and courses – Register students for courses, and generate class rosters – Assign grades to students, compute grade point averages (GPA) and generate transcripts • In the early days, database applications were built directly on top of file systems
  • 5. Types of Databases There are several types of databases, few important of them are briefly explained below.  Hierarchical databases  Object-oriented databases  Relational databases  NoSQL databases
  • 6. Hierarchical Databases • This database follows the progression of data being categorized in ranks or levels, wherein data is categorized based on a common point of linkage.
  • 7. Object-Oriented Databases Information stored in a database is capable of being represented as an object which response as an instance of the database model. Therefore, the object can be referenced and called without any difficulty
  • 8. Relational Databases In this database, every piece of information has a relationship with every other piece of information. This is on account of every data value in the database having a unique identity in the form of a record.
  • 9. NoSQL Databases A NoSQL originally referring to non SQL or non-relational is a database that provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data. This data is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases.
  • 10. Database Management System (DBMS) • DBMS contains information about a particular enterprise – Collection of interrelated data – Set of programs to access the data – An environment that is both convenient and efficient to use • Database Applications: – Banking: transactions – Airlines: reservations, schedules – Universities: registration, grades – Sales: customers, products, purchases – Online retailers: order tracking, customized recommendations – Manufacturing: production, inventory, orders, supply chain – Human resources: employee records, salaries, tax deductions • Databases can be very large. • Databases touch all aspects of our lives
  • 11. Drawbacks of using file systems to store data • Data redundancy and inconsistency – Multiple file formats, duplication of information in different files • Difficulty in accessing data – Need to write a new program to carry out each new task • Data isolation – Multiple files and formats • Integrity problems – Integrity constraints (e.g., account balance >
  • 12. Drawbacks of using file systems to store data (Cont.) • Atomicity of updates – Failures may leave database in an inconsistent state with partial updates carried out – Example: Transfer of funds from one account to another should either complete or not happen at all • Concurrent access by multiple users – Concurrent access needed for performance – Uncontrolled concurrent accesses can lead to inconsistencies • Example: Two people reading a balance (say 100) and updating it by withdrawing money (say 50 each) at the same time. Database systems offer solutions to all the above problems
  • 13. SQL Introduction Standard language for querying and manipulating data Structured Query Language Many standards out there: • ANSI SQL, SQL92 (a.k.a. SQL2), SQL99 (a.k.a. SQL3), …. • Vendors support various subsets: watch for fun discussions in class !
  • 14.
  • 15. SQL • Data Definition Language (DDL) – Create/alter/delete tables and their attributes – Following lectures... • Data Manipulation Language (DML) – Query one or more tables – discussed next ! – Insert/delete/modify tuples in tables
  • 16.  Syntax to create a database >Create database DabaseName;  -- Syntax to create a table >CREATE TABLE Table_Name ( Column_Name1 Data_Type (Size), Column_Name2 Data_Type (Size)); >ALTER TABLE Table_Name ADD New_Column_Name Data_Type (Size); >TRUNCATE TABLE Table_Name >DROP TABLE Table_Name DDL Syntax Commands
  • 17. List of DDL commands: •CREATE: This command is used to create the database or its objects (like table, index, function, views, store procedure, and triggers). •DROP: This command is used to delete objects from the database. •ALTER: This is used to alter the structure of the database. •TRUNCATE: This is used to remove all records from a table, including all spaces allocated for the records are removed. •COMMENT: This is used to add comments to the data dictionary. •RENAME: This is used to rename an object existing in the database.
  • 18. Tables in SQL PName Price Category Manufacturer Gizmo $19.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks Powergizmo $29.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks SingleTouch $149.99 Photography Canon MultiTouch $203.99 Household Hitachi Product Attribute names Table name Tuples or rows
  • 19. Tables Explained • The schema of a table is the table name and its attributes: Product(PName, Price, Category, Manfacturer) • A key is an attribute whose values are unique; we underline a key Product(PName, Price, Category, Manfacturer)
  • 20. Data Types in SQL • Atomic types: – Characters: CHAR(20), VARCHAR(50) – Numbers: INT, BIGINT, SMALLINT, FLOAT – Others: MONEY, DATETIME, … • Every attribute must have an atomic type – Hence tables are flat – Why ?
  • 21. Tables Explained • A tuple = a record – Restriction: all attributes are of atomic type • A table = a set of tuples – Like a list… – …but it is unorderd: no first(), no next(), no last().
  • 22. SQL Query Basic form: (plus many many more bells and whistles) Retrieving Data SELECT <attributes> FROM <one or more relations> WHERE <conditions> • SELECT identifies the columns to be displayed • FROM identifies the table containing those columns
  • 23. Selecting All Columns SELECT * FROM departments;
  • 24. Selecting Specific Columns department_id, location_id SELECT FROM departments;
  • 25. Simple SQL Query PName Price Category Manufacturer Gizmo $19.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks Powergizmo $29.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks SingleTouch $149.99 Photography Canon MultiTouch $203.99 Household Hitachi SELECT * FROM Product WHERE category=‘Gadgets’ Product PName Price Category Manufacturer Gizmo $19.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks Powergizmo $29.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks “selection”
  • 26. Simple SQL Query PName Price Category Manufacturer Gizmo $19.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks Powergizmo $29.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks SingleTouch $149.99 Photography Canon MultiTouch $203.99 Household Hitachi SELECT PName, Price, Manufacturer FROM Product WHERE Price > 100 Product PName Price Manufacturer SingleTouch $149.99 Canon MultiTouch $203.99 Hitachi “selection” and “projection”
  • 27. Notation Product(PName, Price, Category, Manfacturer) Answer(PName, Price, Manfacturer) Input Schema Output Schema SELECT PName, Price, Manufacturer FROM Product WHERE Price > 100
  • 28. Details • Case insensitive: – Same: SELECT Select select – Same: Product product – Different: ‘Seattle’ ‘seattle’ • Constants: – ‘abc’ - yes – “abc” - no
  • 29. The LIKE operator • s LIKE p: pattern matching on strings • p may contain two special symbols: – % = any sequence of characters – _ = any single character SELECT * FROM Products WHERE PName LIKE ‘%gizmo%’
  • 30. Eliminating Duplicates SELECT DISTINCT category FROM Product Compare to: SELECT category FROM Product Category Gadgets Gadgets Photography Household Category Gadgets Photography Household
  • 31. Ordering the Results SELECT pname, price, manufacturer FROM Product WHERE category=‘gizmo’AND price > 50 ORDER BY price Ordering is ascending, unless you specify the DESC keyword.
  • 32. SELECT Category FROM Product ORDER BY PName PName Price Category Manufacturer Gizmo $19.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks Powergizmo $29.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks SingleTouch $149.99 Photography Canon MultiTouch $203.99 Household Hitachi ? SELECT DISTINCT category FROM Product ORDER BY category SELECT DISTINCT category FROM Product ORDER BY PName ? ?
  • 33. Keys and Foreign Keys PName Price Category Manufacturer Gizmo $19.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks Powergizmo $29.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks SingleTouch $149.99 Photography Canon MultiTouch $203.99 Household Hitachi Product Company CName StockPrice Country GizmoWorks 25 USA Canon 65 Japan Hitachi 15 Japan Key Foreign key
  • 34. Filtering Data Structured Query Language (SQL) allows filtering data during querying. The GROUP BY statement forms groups of those rows with the same values or satisfy a specific expression. For example, suppose in a database of school students, you may need to find the students in particular age groups. This is where GROUP BY statement helps. The GROUP BY statement is usually used along with aggregate functions such as COUNT(), MIN(), MAX(), AVG(), SUM(), etc. This helps us group the resultant output of a query by one or more columns.
  • 36. After insertion of the above entries table is displayed as shown below : Assume that we need to print all the employment statutes in our relation (table TEST) along with the number of occurrences in the relation.
  • 37. Joins JOIN clause is used to combine rows from two or more tables, based on a related column between them. Product (pname, price, category, manufacturer) Company (cname, stockPrice, country) Find all products under $200 manufactured in Japan; return their names and prices. SELECT PName, Price FROM Product, Company WHERE Manufacturer=CName AND Country=‘Japan’ AND Price <= 200 Join between Product and Company
  • 38. Joins PName Price Category Manufacturer Gizmo $19.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks Powergizmo $29.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks SingleTouch $149.99 Photography Canon MultiTouch $203.99 Household Hitachi Product Company Cname StockPrice Country GizmoWorks 25 USA Canon 65 Japan Hitachi 15 Japan PName Price SingleTouch $149.99 SELECT PName, Price FROM Product, Company WHERE Manufacturer=CName AND Country=‘Japan’ AND Price <= 200
  • 39. More Joins Product (pname, price, category, manufacturer) Company (cname, stockPrice, country) Find all Chinese companies that manufacture products both in the ‘electronic’ and ‘toy’ categories SELECT cname FROM WHERE
  • 40. A Subtlety about Joins Product (pname, price, category, manufacturer) Company (cname, stockPrice, country) Find all countries that manufacture some product in the ‘Gadgets’ category. SELECT Country FROM Product, Company WHERE Manufacturer=CName AND Category=‘Gadgets’ Unexpected duplicates
  • 41. A Subtlety about Joins Name Price Category Manufacturer Gizmo $19.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks Powergizmo $29.99 Gadgets GizmoWorks SingleTouch $149.99 Photography Canon MultiTouch $203.99 Household Hitachi Product Company Cname StockPrice Country GizmoWorks 25 USA Canon 65 Japan Hitachi 15 Japan Country ?? ?? What is the problem ? What’s the solution ? SELECT Country FROM Product, Company WHERE Manufacturer=CName AND Category=‘Gadgets’
  • 42. Tuple Variables SELECT DISTINCT pname, address FROM Person, Company WHERE worksfor = cname Which address ? Person(pname, address, worksfor) Company(cname, address) SELECT DISTINCT Person.pname, Company.address FROM Person, Company WHERE Person.worksfor = Company.cname SELECT DISTINCT x.pname, y.address FROM Person AS x, Company AS y WHERE x.worksfor = y.cname
  • 43. Meaning (Semantics) of SQL Queries SELECT a1, a2, …, ak FROM R1 AS x1, R2 AS x2, …, Rn AS xn WHERE Conditions Answer = {} for x1 in R1 do for x2 in R2 do ….. for xn in Rn do if Conditions then Answer = Answer  {(a1,…,ak)} return Answer
  • 44. SELECT DISTINCT R.A FROM R, S, T WHERE R.A=S.A OR R.A=T.A An Unintuitive Query Computes R  (S  T) But what if S = f ? What does it compute ?
  • 45. Subqueries Returning Relations SELECT Company.city FROM Company WHERE Company.name IN (SELECT Product.maker FROM Purchase , Product WHERE Product.pname=Purchase.product AND Purchase .buyer = ‘Joe Blow‘); Return cities where one can find companies that manufacture products bought by Joe Blow Company(name, city) Product(pname, maker) Purchase(id, product, buyer)
  • 46. Subqueries Returning Relations SELECT Company.city FROM Company, Product, Purchase WHERE Company.name= Product.maker AND Product.pname = Purchase.product AND Purchase.buyer = ‘Joe Blow’ Is it equivalent to this ? Beware of duplicates !
  • 47. Removing Duplicates Now they are equivalent SELECT DISTINCT Company.city FROM Company WHERE Company.name IN (SELECT Product.maker FROM Purchase , Product WHERE Product.pname=Purchase.product AND Purchase .buyer = ‘Joe Blow‘); SELECT DISTINCT Company.city FROM Company, Product, Purchase WHERE Company.name= Product.maker AND Product.pname = Purchase.product AND Purchase.buyer = ‘Joe Blow’
  • 48. Subqueries Returning Relations SELECT name FROM Product WHERE price > ALL (SELECT price FROM Purchase WHERE maker=‘Gizmo-Works’) Product ( pname, price, category, maker) Find products that are more expensive than all those produced By “Gizmo-Works” You can also use: s > ALL R s > ANY R EXISTS R
  • 49. Question for Database Fans and their Friends • Can we express this query as a single SELECT-FROM-WHERE query, without subqueries ?
  • 50. Question for Database Fans and their Friends • Answer: all SFW queries are monotone (figure out what this means). A query with ALL is not monotone
  • 51. Correlated Queries SELECT DISTINCT title FROM Movie AS x WHERE year <> ANY (SELECT year FROM Movie WHERE title = x.title); Movie (title, year, director, length) Find movies whose title appears more than once. Note (1) scope of variables (2) this can still be expressed as single SFW correlation
  • 52. Complex Correlated Query Product ( pname, price, category, maker, year) • Find products (and their manufacturers) that are more expensive than all products made by the same manufacturer before 1972 Very powerful ! Also much harder to optimize. SELECT DISTINCT pname, maker FROM Product AS x WHERE price > ALL (SELECT price FROM Product AS y WHERE x.maker = y.maker AND y.year < 1972);
  • 53. Aggregation SELECT count(*) FROM Product WHERE year > 1995 Except count, all aggregations apply to a single attribute SELECT avg(price) FROM Product WHERE maker=“Toyota” SQL supports several aggregation operations: sum, count, min, max, avg
  • 54. COUNT applies to duplicates, unless otherwise stated: SELECT Count(category) FROM Product WHERE year > 1995 same as Count(*) We probably want: SELECT Count(DISTINCT category) FROM Product WHERE year > 1995 Aggregation: Count
  • 55. Purchase(product, date, price, quantity) More Examples SELECT Sum(price * quantity) FROM Purchase SELECT Sum(price * quantity) FROM Purchase WHERE product = ‘bagel’ What do they mean ?
  • 56. Simple Aggregations Purchase Product Date Price Quantity Bagel 10/21 1 20 Banana 10/3 0.5 10 Banana 10/10 1 10 Bagel 10/25 1.50 20 SELECT Sum(price * quantity) FROM Purchase WHERE product = ‘bagel’ 50 (= 20+30)
  • 57. Grouping and Aggregation Purchase(product, date, price, quantity) SELECT product, Sum(price*quantity) AS TotalSales FROM Purchase WHERE date > ‘10/1/2005’ GROUP BY product Let’s see what this means… Find total sales after 10/1/2005 per product.
  • 58. Grouping and Aggregation 1. Compute the FROM and WHERE clauses. 2. Group by the attributes in the GROUPBY 3. Compute the SELECT clause: grouped attributes and aggregates.
  • 59. 1&2. FROM-WHERE-GROUPBY Product Date Price Quantity Bagel 10/21 1 20 Bagel 10/25 1.50 20 Banana 10/3 0.5 10 Banana 10/10 1 10
  • 60. 3. SELECT SELECT product, Sum(price*quantity) AS TotalSales FROM Purchase WHERE date > ‘10/1/2005’ GROUP BY product Product Date Price Quantity Bagel 10/21 1 20 Bagel 10/25 1.50 20 Banana 10/3 0.5 10 Banana 10/10 1 10 Product TotalSales Bagel 50 Banana 15
  • 61. GROUP BY v.s. Nested Quereis SELECT product, Sum(price*quantity) AS TotalSales FROM Purchase WHERE date > ‘10/1/2005’ GROUP BY product SELECT DISTINCT x.product, (SELECT Sum(y.price*y.quantity) FROM Purchase y WHERE x.product = y.product AND y.date > ‘10/1/2005’) AS TotalSales FROM Purchase x WHERE x.date > ‘10/1/2005’
  • 62. Another Example SELECT product, sum(price * quantity) AS SumSales max(quantity) AS MaxQuantity FROM Purchase GROUP BY product What does it mean ?
  • 63. HAVING Clause SELECT product, Sum(price * quantity) FROM Purchase WHERE date > ‘10/1/2005’ GROUP BY product HAVING Sum(quantity) > 30 Same query, except that we consider only products that had at least 100 buyers. HAVING clause contains conditions on aggregates.
  • 64. General form of Grouping and Aggregation SELECT S FROM R1,…,Rn WHERE C1 GROUP BY a1,…,ak HAVING C2 S = may contain attributes a1,…,ak and/or any aggregates but NO OTHER ATTRIBUTES C1 = is any condition on the attributes in R1,…,Rn C2 = is any condition on aggregate expressions Why ?
  • 65. General form of Grouping and Aggregation Evaluation steps: 1. Evaluate FROM-WHERE, apply condition C1 2. Group by the attributes a1,…,ak 3. Apply condition C2 to each group (may have aggregates) 4. Compute aggregates in S and return the result SELECT S FROM R1,…,Rn WHERE C1 GROUP BY a1,…,ak HAVING C2
  • 66. Advanced SQLizing 1. Getting around INTERSECT and EXCEPT 2. Quantifiers 3. Aggregation v.s. subqueries
  • 67. 1. INTERSECT and EXCEPT: (SELECT R.A, R.B FROM R) INTERSECT (SELECT S.A, S.B FROM S) SELECT R.A, R.B FROM R WHERE EXISTS(SELECT * FROM S WHERE R.A=S.A and R.B=S.B) (SELECT R.A, R.B FROM R) EXCEPT (SELECT S.A, S.B FROM S) SELECT R.A, R.B FROM R WHERE NOT EXISTS(SELECT * FROM S WHERE R.A=S.A and R.B=S.B) If R, S have no duplicates, then can write without subqueries (HOW ?) INTERSECT and EXCEPT: not in SQL Server
  • 68. 2. Quantifiers Product ( pname, price, company) Company( cname, city) Find all companies that make some products with price < 100 SELECT DISTINCT Company.cname FROM Company, Product WHERE Company.cname = Product.company and Product.price < 100 Existential: easy ! 
  • 69. 2. Quantifiers Product ( pname, price, company) Company( cname, city) Find all companies s.t. all of their products have price < 100 Universal: hard !  Find all companies that make only products with price < 100 same as:
  • 70. 2. Quantifiers 2. Find all companies s.t. all their products have price < 100 1. Find the other companies: i.e. s.t. some product  100 SELECT DISTINCT Company.cname FROM Company WHERE Company.cname IN (SELECT Product.company FROM Product WHERE Produc.price >= 100 SELECT DISTINCT Company.cname FROM Company WHERE Company.cname NOT IN (SELECT Product.company FROM Product WHERE Produc.price >= 100
  • 71. 3. Group-by v.s. Nested Query • Find authors who wrote  10 documents: • Attempt 1: with nested queries SELECT DISTINCT Author.name FROM Author WHERE count(SELECT Wrote.url FROM Wrote WHERE Author.login=Wrote.login) > 10 This is SQL by a novice Author(login,name) Wrote(login,url)
  • 72. 3. Group-by v.s. Nested Query • Find all authors who wrote at least 10 documents: • Attempt 2: SQL style (with GROUP BY) SELECT Author.name FROM Author, Wrote WHERE Author.login=Wrote.login GROUP BY Author.name HAVING count(wrote.url) > 10 This is SQL by an expert No need for DISTINCT: automatically from GROUP BY
  • 73. 3. Group-by v.s. Nested Query Find authors with vocabulary  10000 words: SELECT Author.name FROM Author, Wrote, Mentions WHERE Author.login=Wrote.login AND Wrote.url=Mentions.url GROUP BY Author.name HAVING count(distinct Mentions.word) > 10000 Author(login,name) Wrote(login,url) Mentions(url,word)
  • 74. Two Examples Store(sid, sname) Product(pid, pname, price, sid) Find all stores that sell only products with price > 100 same as: Find all stores s.t. all their products have price > 100)
  • 75. SELECT Store.name FROM Store, Product WHERE Store.sid = Product.sid GROUP BY Store.sid, Store.name HAVING 100 < min(Product.price) SELECT Store.name FROM Store WHERE Store.sid NOT IN (SELECT Product.sid FROM Product WHERE Product.price <= 100) SELECT Store.name FROM Store WHERE 100 < ALL (SELECT Product.price FROM product WHERE Store.sid = Product.sid) Almost equivalent… Why both ?
  • 76. Two Examples Store(sid, sname) Product(pid, pname, price, sid) For each store, find its most expensive product
  • 77. Two Examples SELECT Store.sname, max(Product.price) FROM Store, Product WHERE Store.sid = Product.sid GROUP BY Store.sid, Store.sname SELECT Store.sname, x.pname FROM Store, Product x WHERE Store.sid = x.sid and x.price >= ALL (SELECT y.price FROM Product y WHERE Store.sid = y.sid) This is easy but doesn’t do what we want: Better: But may return multiple product names per store
  • 78. Two Examples SELECT Store.sname, max(x.pname) FROM Store, Product x WHERE Store.sid = x.sid and x.price >= ALL (SELECT y.price FROM Product y WHERE Store.sid = y.sid) GROUP BY Store.sname Finally, choose some pid arbitrarily, if there are many with highest price:
  • 79. NULLS in SQL • Whenever we don’t have a value, we can put a NULL • Can mean many things: – Value does not exists – Value exists but is unknown – Value not applicable – Etc. • The schema specifies for each attribute if can be null (nullable attribute) or not • How does SQL cope with tables that have NULLs ?
  • 80. Null Values • If x= NULL then 4*(3-x)/7 is still NULL • If x= NULL then x=“Joe” is UNKNOWN • In SQL there are three boolean values: FALSE = 0 UNKNOWN = 0.5 TRUE = 1
  • 81. Null Values • C1 AND C2 = min(C1, C2) • C1 OR C2 = max(C1, C2) • NOT C1 = 1 – C1 Rule in SQL: include only tuples that yield TRUE SELECT * FROM Person WHERE (age < 25) AND (height > 6 OR weight > 190) E.g. age=20 heigth=NULL weight=200
  • 82. Null Values Unexpected behavior: Some Persons are not included ! SELECT * FROM Person WHERE age < 25 OR age >= 25
  • 83. Null Values Can test for NULL explicitly: – x IS NULL – x IS NOT NULL Now it includes all Persons SELECT * FROM Person WHERE age < 25 OR age >= 25 OR age IS NULL
  • 84. Outerjoins Explicit joins in SQL = “inner joins”: Product(name, category) Purchase(prodName, store) SELECT Product.name, Purchase.store FROM Product JOIN Purchase ON Product.name = Purchase.prodName SELECT Product.name, Purchase.store FROM Product, Purchase WHERE Product.name = Purchase.prodName Same as: But Products that never sold will be lost !
  • 85. Outerjoins Left outer joins in SQL: Product(name, category) Purchase(prodName, store) SELECT Product.name, Purchase.store FROM Product LEFT OUTER JOIN Purchase ON Product.name = Purchase.prodName
  • 86. Name Category Gizmo gadget Camera Photo OneClick Photo ProdName Store Gizmo Wiz Camera Ritz Camera Wiz Name Store Gizmo Wiz Camera Ritz Camera Wiz OneClick NULL Product Purchase
  • 87. Application Compute, for each product, the total number of sales in ‘September’ Product(name, category) Purchase(prodName, month, store) SELECT Product.name, count(*) FROM Product, Purchase WHERE Product.name = Purchase.prodName and Purchase.month = ‘September’ GROUP BY Product.name What’s wrong ?
  • 88. Application Compute, for each product, the total number of sales in ‘September’ Product(name, category) Purchase(prodName, month, store) SELECT Product.name, count(*) FROM Product LEFT OUTER JOIN Purchase ON Product.name = Purchase.prodName and Purchase.month = ‘September’ GROUP BY Product.name Now we also get the products who sold in 0 quantity
  • 89. Outer Joins • Left outer join: – Include the left tuple even if there’s no match • Right outer join: – Include the right tuple even if there’s no match • Full outer join: – Include the both left and right tuples even if there’s no match
  • 90. Modifying the Database Three kinds of modifications • Insertions • Deletions • Updates Sometimes they are all called “updates”
  • 91. Insertions General form: Missing attribute  NULL. May drop attribute names if give them in order. INSERT INTO R(A1,…., An) VALUES (v1,…., vn) INSERT INTO Purchase(buyer, seller, product, store) VALUES (‘Joe’, ‘Fred’, ‘wakeup-clock-espresso-machine’, ‘The Sharper Image’) Example: Insert a new purchase to the database:
  • 92. Insertions INSERT INTO PRODUCT(name) SELECT DISTINCT Purchase.product FROM Purchase WHERE Purchase.date > “10/26/01” The query replaces the VALUES keyword. Here we insert many tuples into PRODUCT
  • 93. Insertion: an Example prodName is foreign key in Product.name Suppose database got corrupted and we need to fix it: name listPrice category gizmo 100 gadgets prodName buyerName price camera John 200 gizmo Smith 80 camera Smith 225 Task: insert in Product all prodNames from Purchase Product Product(name, listPrice, category) Purchase(prodName, buyerName, price) Purchase
  • 94. Insertion: an Example INSERT INTO Product(name) SELECT DISTINCT prodName FROM Purchase WHERE prodName NOT IN (SELECT name FROM Product) name listPrice category gizmo 100 Gadgets camera - -
  • 95. Insertion: an Example INSERT INTO Product(name, listPrice) SELECT DISTINCT prodName, price FROM Purchase WHERE prodName NOT IN (SELECT name FROM Product) name listPrice category gizmo 100 Gadgets camera 200 - camera ?? 225 ?? - Depends on the implementation
  • 96. Deletions DELETE FROM PURCHASE WHERE seller = ‘Joe’ AND product = ‘Brooklyn Bridge’ Factoid about SQL: there is no way to delete only a single occurrence of a tuple that appears twice in a relation. Example:
  • 97. Updates UPDATE PRODUCT SET price = price/2 WHERE Product.name IN (SELECT product FROM Purchase WHERE Date =‘Oct, 25, 1999’); Example:
