TUTORIAL 1 DATABASE PRACTICE:

1. Some Common SQL Data Types:

• Data type selection is usually dictated by the nature of the data and by the
intended use.

Data Type Format Description


Numeric INTEGER -2 147 483 648
+2 147 483 647

SMALLINT -32 768 32 767


DECIMAL DECIMAL(5,2) 123.45
(L,D)
Character CHAR(L) CHAR(5)
If ‘Ali’, database keeps ‘Ali__’ 2
space wasted.

VARCHAR(L) VARCHAR(5)
If ‘Ali’, database keeps 3 space
only.

Date DATE Year 0001 – 9999


Month 01 –12
Day 01 - 31

2. Creating our own database:

CREATE DATABASE <database name>;

CREATE TABLE <table name> (


<attribute1 name and attribute1 characteristics,
attribute2 name and attribute2 characteristics,
attribute3 name and attribute3 characteristics,
primary key designation,
foreign key designation and foreign key requirements>);

• Data Entry
INSERT INTO <table name> VALUES (attribute 1 value, attribute 2 value, … etc.);
