Creating Tables

CREATE TABLE table_name


( column_name1 data_type, column_name2 data_type, ....... ) ;

Example,
CREATE TABLE Person (
LastName varchar(30), FirstName varchar, Address varchar, Age int(3) ) ;

Create Table tbldemo


( Name text(30),
Age integer,
Gender text(1)
);

Data type depends on the Database management software you are using

SQL ALTER TABLE

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD COLUMN_name datatype


ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name

Example,
ALTER TABLE tbldemo ADD COLUMN date_of_birth datetime
ALTER TABLE tbldemo DROP COLUMN marks;

SQL INSERT

INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (value1, value2,....)


INSERT INTO table_name
(column_name1,column_name2,...)VALUES(value1, value2,....)

Example,

INSERT INTO tbldemo VALUES ('Amit', 22, 'm', #8/22/1982#, 27474017);

INSERT INTO tbldemo ( Name, Age, Gender, date_of_birth )


VALUES ('Preeti', 22, 'f', #2/18/1982#);

SQL SELECT

SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name


SELECT * FROM table_name
SELECT * INTO new_table_name FROM original_table_name

SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name WHERE condition

Example,

SELECT Name FROM tbldemo WHERE GENDER='f';

SQL UPDATE

UPDATE table_name
SET column_name=new_value
[, column_name=new_value]
WHERE column_name=some_value ;

Example,

UPDATE tbldemo SET phone_no = 22523250 WHERE name='ShriRam';

SQL DELETE

DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition

DELETE FROM table_name


(Note: Deletes the entire table!!)

Example,

DELETE FROM tbldemo WHERE Gender='f';

SQL DROP TABLE

DROP TABLE table_name

Example,

DROP TABLE tbldemo;
