The document discusses SQL commands for creating tables, selecting data, and eliminating duplicate rows. It provides examples of using the CREATE TABLE command to define a table structure with data types and sizes for columns. The SELECT command is used to query data from tables by specifying column names. The DISTINCT keyword can be used with the SELECT statement to remove duplicate rows from the results.
Eg: To create table Employee with following scheme.
Table name :Student(scode, sname, sex, total, grade)
Create table Student(scode number(4),
sname char(20), sex char(1), total number(2), grade char); SELECT COMMAND: • SELECT command make queries on the database. A QUERY is a command that is given to produce certain specified information from the database tables SELECT <column name> [, <column name>,….] From <table name>; Eg. (1) SELECT scode, sname from student; (2) SELECT * from student (to view all column in student table) DISTINCT keyword: DISTINCT keyword eliminates duplicates rows from the results of a SELECT statement Eg. Select DISTINCT department from employee; In the output there would be no duplicate rows.
