used by most DBMS today (SQL92)• Basic language is standardized

across relational DBMSs. Each system may have proprietary extensions to standard.

SQL Uses

• Database Definition and Querying– Can be used as an interactive query

language– Can be imbedded in programs

• Relational Calculus combines Select, Project and Join operations in a single command: SELECT

SQL Advanced

Aggregate Functions• Count• Avg• SUM• MAX• MIN• Others may be available in

Commands

Syntax Review

SELECT• Syntax:

– SELECT [DISTINCT] attr1, attr2,…, attr3 FROM rel1 r1, rel2 r2,… rel3 r3 WHERE condition1 {AND | OR} condition2 ORDER BY attr1 [DESC], attr3 [DESC]

SELECT• Syntax:

– SELECT a.author, b.title FROM authors a, bibfile b, au_bib c WHERE a.AU_ID = c.AU_ID and c.accno = b.accno ORDER BY a.author ;

• Examples in Access...

SELECT Conditions• = equal to a particular value• >= greater than or equal to a particular value• > greater than a particular value• <= less than or equal to a particular value• <> not equal to a particular value• LIKE “*term*” (may be other wild cards in

other systems)• IN (“opt1”, “opt2”,…,”optn”)• BETWEEN val1 AND val2• IS NULL

Relational Algebra Selection using SELECT

• Syntax:– SELECT * WHERE condition1 {AND |

OR} condition2;

Relational Algebra Projection using SELECT

• Syntax:– SELECT [DISTINCT] attr1, attr2,…,

attr3 FROM rel1 r1, rel2 r2,… rel3 r3;

Relational Algebra Join using SELECT

• Syntax:– SELECT * FROM rel1 r1, rel2 r2

WHERE r1.linkattr = r2.linkattr ;

Subqueries• SELECT SITES.[Site Name], SITES.

[Destination no] FROM SITES WHERE sites.[Destination no] IN

(SELECT [Destination no] from DEST where [avg temp (f)] >= 78);

• Can be used as a form of JOIN.

Using Aggregate functions• SELECT attr1, Sum(attr2) AS name

FROM tab1, tab2 ... GROUP BY attr1, attr3 HAVING

condition;

CREATE Table• CREATE TABLE table-name (attr1

attr-type PRIMARYKEY, attr2 attr-type,…,attrN attr-type);

• Adds a new table with the specified attributes (and types) to the database.

Access Data Types

• Numeric (1, 2, 4, 8 bytes, fixed or float)• Text (255 max)• Memo (64000 max)• Date/Time (8 bytes)• Currency (8 bytes, 15 digits + 4 digits

decimal)• Autonumber (4 bytes)• Yes/No (1 bit)• OLE (limited only by disk space)• Hyperlinks (up to 64000 chars)

Access Numeric types• Byte

– Stores numbers from 0 to 255 (no fractions). 1 byte

• Integer– Stores numbers from –32,768 to 32,767 (no fractions) 2 bytes

• Long Integer (Default) – Stores numbers from –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 (no fractions). 4

bytes

• Single– Stores numbers from -3.402823E38 to –1.401298E–45 for negative values

and from 1.401298E–45 to 3.402823E38 for positive values.4 bytes

• Double– Stores numbers from –1.79769313486231E308 to –4.94065645841247E–

324 for negative values and from 1.79769313486231E308 to 4.94065645841247E–324 for positive values. 15 8 bytes

• Replication ID– Globally unique identifier (GUID) N/A 16 bytes

Oracle Data Types• CHAR (size) -- max 2000• VARCHAR2(size) -- up to 4000• DATE• DECIMAL, FLOAT, INTEGER, INTEGER(s),

SMALLINT, NUMBER, NUMBER(size,d)– All numbers internally in same format…

• LONG, LONG RAW, LONG VARCHAR– up to 2 Gb -- only one per table

• BLOB, CLOB, NCLOB -- up to 4 Gb• BFILE -- file pointer to binary OS file

Creating a new table from existing tables

• Syntax:– SELECT [DISTINCT] attr1, attr2,…,

attr3 INTO newtablename FROM rel1 r1, rel2 r2,… rel3 r3 WHERE condition1 {AND | OR} condition2 ORDER BY attr1 [DESC], attr3 [DESC]

ALTER Table• ALTER TABLE table-name ADD

COLUMN attr1 attr-type;• … DROP COLUMN attr1;• Adds a new column to an existing

database table.

INSERT• INSERT INTO table-name (attr1,

attr4, attr5,…, attrK) VALUES (“val1”, val4, val5,…, “valK”);

• Adds a new row(s) to a table.• INSERT INTO table-name (attr1,

attr4, attr5,…, attrK) VALUES SELECT ...

DELETE• DELETE FROM table-name WHERE

<where clause>;• Removes rows from a table.

UPDATE• UPDATE tablename SET

attr1=newval, attr2 = newval2 WHERE <where clause>;

• changes values in existing rows in a table (those that match the WHERE clause).

DROP Table• DROP TABLE tablename;• Removes a table from the

database.
