INTRODUCTION TO SQL
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a nonprocedural language, you specify what you want,
not how to get it. A block structured format of English key words is used in this Query language.
It has the following components.
DDL (Data Definition Language)- The SQL DDL provides command for defining
relation schemas, deleting relations and modifying relation schema.
View definition-The SQL DDL includes commands for defining views. Transaction
Control- SQL includes for specifying the beginning and ending of transactions.
Embedded SQL and Dynamic SQL- Embedded and Dynamic SQL define how SQL
statements can be embedded with in general purpose programming languages, such as C, C++,
JAVA, COBOL, Pascal and Fortran.
Integrity-The SQL DDL includes commands for specifying integrity constraints that the
data stored in the database must specify. Updates that violate integrity constraints are allowed.
• Char (n)- A fixed length character length string with user specified length .
• Varchar (n)- A variable character length string with user specified maximum length n.
• Int- An integer.
• Small integer- A small integer.
• Numeric (p, d)-A Fixed point number with user defined precision.
• Real, double precision- Floating point and double precision floating point numbers with
machine dependent precision.
• Float (n)- A floating point number, with precision of at least n digits.
• Date- A calendar date containing a (four digit) year, month and day of the month.
• Time- The time of day, in hours, minutes and seconds Eg. Time ’09:30:00’.
• Number- Number is used to store numbers (fixed or floating point).
DDL statement for creating a table
Syntax-
In Q2, there are two join conditions The join condition DNUM=DNUMBER relates a project to
its controlling department The join condition MGRSSN=SSN relates the controlling department
to the employee who manages that department
UNSPECIFIED WHERE-clause
A missing WHERE-clause indicates no condition; hence, all tuples of the relations in the
FROM-clause are selected. This is equivalent to the condition WHERE TRUE
Example:
Note: It is extremely important not to overlook specifying any selection and join conditions in
the WHERE-clause; otherwise, incorrect and very large relations may result
USE OF *
To retrieve all the attribute values of the selected tuples, a * is used, which stands for all the
attributes
Examples:
Retrieve all the attribute values of EMPLOYEES who work in department 5.
Q1a: SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE DNO=5
Retrieve all the attributes of an employee and attributes of DEPARTMENT he works in for
every employee of ‘Research’ department.
USE OF DISTINCT
SQL does not treat a relation as a set; duplicate tuples can appear. To eliminate duplicate
tuples in a query result, the keyword DISTINCT is used
Example: the result of Q1c may have duplicate SALARY values whereas Q1d does not have
any duplicate values
SET OPERATIONS
SQL has directly incorporated some set operations such as union operation (UNION), set
difference (MINUS) and intersection (INTERSECT) operations. The resulting relations of these
set operations are sets of tuples; duplicate tuples are eliminated from the result. The set
operations apply only to union compatible relations; the two relations must have the same
attributes and the attributes must appear in the same order
Query 5: Make a list of all project numbers for projects that involve an employee whose
last name is 'Smith' as a worker or as a manager of the department that controls the
project.
Q5: (SELECT PNAME FROM PROJECT, DEPARTMENT, EMPLOYEE WHERE
DNUM=DNUMBER AND MGRSSN=SSN AND LNAME='Smith')
UNION
NESTING OF QUERIES
A complete SELECT query, called a nested query, can be specified within the WHERE-
clause of another query, called the outer query. Many of the previous queries can be specified in
an alternative form using nesting
Query 6: Retrieve the name and address of all employees who work for the 'Research'
department.
Q6: SELECT FNAME, LNAME, ADDRESS FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE DNO IN
(SELECT DNUMBER FROM DEPARTMENT WHERE DNAME='Research' )
Note: The nested query selects the number of the 'Research' department. The outer query selects
an EMPLOYEE tuple if its DNO value is in the result of either nested query. The comparison
operator IN compares a value v with a set (or multi-set) of values V, and evaluates to TRUE if v
is one of the elements in V
Query 7: Retrieve the name of each employee who has a dependent with the same first
name as the employee.
Q7: SELECT E.FNAME, E.LNAME FROM EMPLOYEE AS E WHERE E.SSN IN
(SELECT ESSN FROM DEPENDENT WHERE ESSN=E.SSN AND
E.FNAME=DEPENDENT_NAME)
In Q7, the nested query has a different result in the outer query. A query written with nested
SELECT... FROM… WHERE... blocks and using the = or IN comparison operators can always
be expressed as a single block query. For example, Q7 may be written as in Q7a
Note: In Q8, the correlated nested query retrieves all DEPENDENT tuples related to an
EMPLOYEE tuple. If none exist, the EMPLOYEE tuple is selected
EXPLICIT SETS
It is also possible to use an explicit (enumerated) set of values in the WHERE-clause rather than
a nested query
Query 9: Retrieve the social security numbers of all employees who work on project
number 1, 2, or 3.
SQL allows queries that check if a value is NULL (missing or undefined or not applicable). SQL
uses IS or IS NOT to compare NULLs because it considers each NULL value distinct from other
NULL values, so equality comparison is not appropriate.
Query 10: Retrieve the names of all employees who do not have supervisors.
Q10: SELECT FNAME, LNAME FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE SUPERSSN IS NULL
Note: If a join condition is specified, tuples with NULL values for the join attributes are not
included in the result
AGGREGATE FUNCTIONS
Include COUNT, SUM, MAX, MIN, and AVG
Query 11: Find the maximum salary, the minimum salary, and the average salary among
all employees.
Q11: SELECT MAX (SALARY), MIN(SALARY), AVG(SALARY)
FROM EMPLOYEE
Note: Some SQL implementations may not allow more than one function in the SELECT-clause
Query 12: Find the maximum salary, the minimum salary, and the average salary among
employees who work for the 'Research' department.
Q12: SELECT MAX (SALARY), MIN(SALARY), AVG(SALARY) FROM
EMPLOYEE, DEPARTMENT WHERE DNO=DNUMBER AND DNAME='Research'
Queries 13 and 14: Retrieve the total number of employees in the company (Q13), and the
number of employees in the 'Research' department (Q14).
Q13: SELECT COUNT (*) FROM EMPLOYEE
Q14: SELECT COUNT (*) FROM EMPLOYEE, DEPARTMENT
GROUPING
In many cases, we want to apply the aggregate functions to subgroups of tuples in a
relation
Each subgroup of tuples consists of the set of tuples that have the same value for the
grouping attribute(s)
The function is applied to each subgroup independently
SQL has a GROUP BY-clause for specifying the grouping attributes, which must also
appear in the SELECT-clause
Query 15: For each department, retrieve the department number, the number of
employees in the department, and their average salary.
Q15: SELECT DNO, COUNT (*), AVG (SALARY)
FROM EMPLOYEE GROUP BY DNO
In Q15, the EMPLOYEE tuples are divided into groups. Each group having the same
value for the grouping attribute DNO
The COUNT and AVG functions are applied to each such group of tuples separately
The SELECT-clause includes only the grouping attribute and the functions to be applied
on each group of tuples
A join condition can be used in conjunction with grouping
Query 16: For each project, retrieve the project number, project name, and the number of
employees who work on that project.
Q16: SELECT PNUMBER, PNAME, COUNT (*)
FROM PROJECT, WORKS_ON
WHERE PNUMBER=PNO
THE HAVING-CLAUSE
Sometimes we want to retrieve the values of these functions for only those groups that satisfy
certain conditions. The HAVING-clause is used for specifying a selection condition on groups
(rather than on individual tuples)
Query 17: For each project on which more than two employees work, retrieve the project
number, project name, and the number of employees who work on that project.
Q17: SELECT PNUMBER, PNAME, COUNT (*)
FROM PROJECT, WORKS_ON
WHERE PNUMBER=PNO
GROUP BY PNUMBER, PNAME
SUBSTRING COMPARISON
The LIKE comparison operator is used to compare partial strings. Two reserved
characters are used: '%' (or '*' in some implementations) replaces an arbitrary number of
characters, and '_' replaces a single arbitrary character.
Query 18: Retrieve all employees whose address is in Houston, Texas. Here, the value of the
ADDRESS attribute must contain the substring 'Houston,TX‘ in it.
Q18: SELECT FNAME, LNAME
FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE ADDRESS LIKE '%Houston,TX%'
Query 19: Retrieve all employees who were born during the 1950s.
Here, '5' must be the 8th character of the string (according to our format for date), so the BDATE
value is '_______5_', with each underscore as a place holder for a single arbitrary character.
Q19: SELECT FNAME, LNAME
FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE BDATE LIKE '_______5_’
Note: The LIKE operator allows us to get around the fact that each value is considered atomic
and indivisible. Hence, in SQL, character string attribute values are not atomic
ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS
The standard arithmetic operators '+', '-'. '*', and '/' (for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division, respectively) can be applied to numeric values in an SQL query result
Query 20: Show the effect of giving all employees who work on the 'ProductX' project a
10% raise.
Q20: SELECT FNAME, LNAME, 1.1*SALARY
FROM EMPLOYEE, WORKS_ON, PROJECT
WHERE SSN=ESSN
AND PNO=PNUMBER AND PNAME='ProductX’
ORDER BY
The ORDER BY clause is used to sort the tuples in a query result based on the values of some
attribute(s)
Query 21: Retrieve a list of employees and the projects each works in, ordered by the
employee's department, and within each department ordered alphabetically by employee
last name.
Q21: SELECT DNAME, LNAME, FNAME, PNAME
Query 22: Retrieve the names of all employees who have two or more dependents.
Q22: SELECT LNAME, FNAME FROM
EMPLOYEE
WHERE (SELECT COUNT (*) FROM DEPENDENT
WHERE SSN=ESSN) ≥ 2);
Query 23: List the names of managers who have least one dependent.
Q23: SELECT FNAME, LNAME
FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM DEPENDENT WHERE SSN=ESSN)
There are three SQL commands to modify the database: INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE.
INSERT
An alternate form of INSERT specifies explicitly the attribute names that correspond to
the values in the new tuple. Attributes with NULL values can be left out
Example: Insert a tuple for a new EMPLOYEE for whom we only know the FNAME, LNAME,
and SSN attributes.
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE (FNAME, LNAME, SSN)VALUES ('Richard', 'Marini',
'653298653')
Important Note: Only the constraints specified in the DDL commands are automatically
enforced by the DBMS when updates are applied to the database. Another variation of INSERT
allows insertion of multiple tuples resulting from a query into a relation
Example: Suppose we want to create a temporary table that has the name, number of employees,
and total salaries for each department. A table DEPTS_INFO is created first, and is loaded with
the summary information retrieved from the database by the query.
CREATE TABLE DEPTS_INFO
(DEPT_NAME VARCHAR (10),
NO_OF_EMPS INTEGER, TOTAL_SAL INTEGER);
Note: The DEPTS_INFO table may not be up-to-date if we change the tuples in either the
DEPARTMENT or the EMPLOYEE relations after issuing the above. We have to create a view
(see later) to keep such a table up to date.
DELETE
Removes tuples from a relation. Includes a WHERE-clause to select the tuples to be
deleted
Referential integrity should be enforced
Tuples are deleted from only one table at a time (unless CASCADE is specified on a
referential integrity constraint)
A missing WHERE-clause specifies that all tuples in the relation are to be deleted; the
table then becomes an empty table
The number of tuples deleted depends on the number of tuples in the relation that satisfy
the WHERE-clause
Examples:
1: DELETE FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE LNAME='Brown’;
2: DELETE FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE SSN='123456789’;
3: DELETE FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE DNO IN (SELECT DNUMBER
FROM DEPARTMENT WHERE DNAME='Research');
UPDATE
Used to modify attribute values of one or more selected tuples
A WHERE-clause selects the tuples to be modified
An additional SET-clause specifies the attributes to be modified and their new values
Each command modifies tuples in the same relation
Referential integrity should be enforced
Example1: Change the location and controlling department number of project number 10 to
'Bellaire' and 5, respectively.
UPDATE PROJECT
SET PLOCATION = 'Bellaire', DNUM = 5 WHERE PNUMBER=10;
Example2: Give all employees in the 'Research' department a 10% raise in salary.
UPDATE EMPLOYEE
SET SALARY = SALARY *1.1
WHERE DNO IN (SELECT DNUMBER FROM DEPARTMENT
WHERE DNAME='Research');
SQL TRIGGERS
Objective: to monitor a database and take initiate action when a condition occurs
Triggers are nothing but the procedures/functions that involve actions and fired/executed
automatically whenever an event occurs such as an insert, delete, or update operation or
pressing a button or when mouse button is clicked
VIEWS IN SQL
A view is a single virtual table that is derived from other tables. The other tables could be
base tables or previously defined view.
Allows for limited update operations Since the table may not physically be stored
Allows full query operations
A convenience for expressing certain operations
A view does not necessarily exist in physical form, which limits the possible update
operations that can be applied to views.
