Lesson 2 - Practical
Programming in Advanced SQL
Adapted from: Modern Database Management 13th Edition
Learning Objectives

After studying this lesson, you should be able to:

• Write single and multiple table queries using SQL commands.


• Write queries to create dynamic and materialised views.
• Understand common uses of database triggers and stored
procedures.
NOTE

Practicals are depended on the theory session.


Lecturer must execute the practical after the theory
session. The practical Lecturers will be notified to
start with a practical. This will maintain consistency
and quality amongst the various practical groups.
Students need to understand the theoretical
background before they can apply the theory into
practical.
Conditional Expressions – Part 1

• Syntax:
Conditional Expressions – Part 2
Conditional Expressions-Part 3
WHILE LOOP • DECLARE @s_value INT;
• SET @s_value = 0;
Syntax •
WHILE condition • WHILE @s_value <= 10
BEGIN • BEGIN
•
{...statements...} PRINT 'Inside WHILE LOOP on
END; Prog.com';
• SET @s_value = @s_value + 1;
• END;
•
•PRINT 'Done WHILE LOOP on

•
Procedures and Functions – Part 2

•
Procedures and Functions – Part 3
• Procedures
(stored procedure with an output Parameter)
Create or Replace procedure sp_CountContacts_By_Title
@Title nvarchar(8), @TitleCount int= 0 output
//The keyword output marks it as an output parameter
As
select Contact.Title, Contact.FirstName, Contact.LastName
from Person.Contact
where Contact.Title = @Title
Select @TitleCount = count(*)
from Person.Contact
where Title=@Title

return @TitleCount
Procedures and Functions – Part 4

• Test stored procedure


Declare @return_value int,
@TitleCount int
Execute
@return_value=sp_CountContacts_By_Title
@Title='Mr.',
@TitleCount=@TitleCount output
Select 'Total Title Count' =@return_value
Procedures and Functions – Part 5

• Executing a Procedure
Declare @return_value int,
@TitleCount int
Execute
@return_value=sp_CountContacts_By_Title
@Title='Mr.',
@TitleCount=@TitleCount output

Select 'Total Title Count' =@return_value


Procedures and Functions – Part 6

• Modifying a Procedure
ALTER procedure sp_Select_All_PersonContact
As
SELECT Contact.Title, Contact.FirstName,
Contact.LastName
FROM Person.Contact
ORDER BY Contact.LastName
Procedures and Functions – Part 7

• Execute sp_helptext
'sp_Select_All_PersonContact’

• Renaming Stored Procedures


sp_rename 'sp_Select_All_PersonContact’,
'sp_Select_All_ContactDetails’

• Deleting Stored Procedures


Drop procedure sp_Select_All_ContactDetails
Procedures and Functions-Part 8

• You can use IF and ELSE • You can use CASE expression to
commands to control the flow compare the results of an
of commands. expression with a series of tests
IF <some condition> and return a result when the test
returns true.
then <some command>
SELECT JobTitle,
ELSE <some condition>
CASE Gender
then <some command>
WHEN ‘M’ THEN ‘Male’
• You can use loops to process
multiple records. WHEN ‘F’ THEN ‘Female’
DECLARE @cnt INT = 0; ELSE ‘Unknown Value’
WHILE @cnt <cnt_total END
BEGIN {… statements …}
SET @cnt = @cnt +1; END
