VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &

into table (i.e. rows and columns).
 These tables are also known as relations.

 A row in a table represent relationship among a

set of values.
 A column represent the field/attributes related to
relation under which information will be stored.
 For example if we want to store details of
students then : Roll, Name, Class, Section, etc.
will be the column/attributes and the collection of
all the column information will become a
Row/Record

In relation each record must be unique i.e. no two

identical records are allowed in the Database. A
key attribute identifies the record and must have
unique values. There are various types of Keys:
Primary Key, Candidate Key, Alternate Key
and Foreign Key.
KEYS
 Primary Key

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR

VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &
 A set of one or more attribute that can identify a record
uniquely in the relation is called Primary Key.
 There can be only 1 primary key in a table
 Allows only distinct (no duplicate) values and also forces
mandatory entry (NOT NULL) i.e. we cannot left it blank.
 Candidate Key
 In a table there can be more than one attribute which
contains unique values. These columns are known as
candidate key as they are the candidate for primary key.
 Among these database analyst select one as a primary key
based on requirement like must contain unique value,
compulsory entry and where maximum searching is done
etc.
KEYS
 Alternate Key
 In case of multiple candidate keys, one of them will
be selected as Primary Key and rest of the column

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR

VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &
will serve as Alternate Key
 A Candidate Key which is not a primary key is an
Alternate Key.
 Foreign key
 Used to create relationship between two tables.
 It is a non-key attribute whose value is derived from
the Primary key of another table.
 Foreign key column will for the value in Primary key
of another table, if present then entry will be allowed
otherwise data will be rejected.
 Primary Key column table from where values will be
derived is known as Primary Table or Master Table
or Parent Table and Foreign key column table will be
Foreign Table or Detail Table or Child table

From the Above table definition we can observe that the

DEPTNO column of EMPLOYEE table is deriving its value
from DEPTNO of table DEPARTMENT. So we can say that the
DEPTNO of EMPLOYEE table is a foreign key whose value is
dependent upon the Primary key column DEPTNO of table
DEPARTMENT.
REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY
Used to ensure relationship between records in

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR

VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &

related tables are valid and user don’t
accidentally delete or change the related data.
 Referential integrity can be applied when:
 The master table’s column is a Primary Key or has a
unique index
 The related fields have the same data type
 Both tables must belong to same database.
REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY
When referential integrity is enforced using


Foreign Key you must observe the following
rules:
 You cannot enter a value in Child Table which is not
available in Master Table’s Primary key column.
However you can enter NULL values in foreign key
 You cannot delete a record from Master Table if
matching record exists in related table
 You cannot modify or change the Primary Key value
in Master table if its matching record is present in
related table.
BRIEF HISTORY OF MYSQL
 MySQL is freely available open source RDBMS
 Can be downloaded from www.mysql.org


combination of a MySQL server instance and
MySQL database.
 It operates using Client/Server architecture in
which the server runs on the machine containing
the database and client connects to server over a
network
 MySQL is a multiuser database system, meaning
several users can access the database
simultaneously
MYSQL DATABASE SYSTEM


 Listens for client requests coming in over the
network and access the database as per the
requirements and provide the requested information
to the Client
 The Client
 Are the programs that connect to MySQL server and
sends requests to the server and receives the
response of Server. Client may be the MySQL prompt
or it may be Front-end programming which connect
to server programmatically like connecting to MySQL
using Python Language or Java or any other
language



 Is a language that enables you to create and

operate on relational databases.
 MySQL uses SQL in order to access databases.

➢ It is the standard language used by almost all the

database s/w vendors.
➢ Pronounced as SEQUEL

➢ Original version was developed by IBM’s

Almanden Research Center
➢ Latest ISO standard of SQL was released in 2008
and named as SQL:2008
PROCESSING CAPABILITIES OF SQL

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR

VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &
➢ DDL (Data Definition Language)

➢ DML (Data Manipulation Language)

➢ Embedded DML

➢ View

➢ Authorization

➢ Integrity

➢ Transaction Control
DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE
It allows to create database objects like creating

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR

VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &
➢
a table, view or any other database objects.
➢ The information about created objects are stored
in special file called DATA DICTIONARY
➢ DATA DICTIONARY contains metadata i.e. data
about data.
➢ While creating a table DDL allows to specify –
name of table, attributes, data types of each
attribute, may define range of values that
attributes can store, etc
➢ Major commands of DDL are – CREATE,
ALTER, DROP
DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE
➢ It allows to perform following operation on

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR

VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &
table
✓ Retrieval of information stored in table
✓ Insertion of new data in table
✓ Modification of existing data in table
✓ Deletion of existing data from table
➢ DML is of 2 type
✓ Procedural DML (in this we specify what data is
needed and how to get it)
✓ Non-Procedural DML (in this we specify what
data is needed without specifying how to get it)
➢ Main DML commands are – SELECT,
INSERT, UPDATE AND DELETE
TCL COMMANDS
 Stands for Transaction Control Language

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR

VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &
 MySQL transaction allows you to execute a set
of MySQL operations to ensure that the
database never contains the result of partial
operations. In a set of operations, if one of them
fails, the rollback occurs to restore the database
to its original state. For example Transfer of
money from one account to another etc.
 It follows ACID property (Atomicity, Consistency,
Isolation and Durability)
 Commands used for managing the Transaction
are: COMMIT, ROLLBACK, SAVEPOINT and
SET TRANSACTION
TCL COMMANDS
Commit

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR

VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &

 To save the current transaction
 RollBack
 To undo/cancel the current transaction activity
 Savepoint
 To insert a Flag/Bookmark in various stages of
Transaction, so that later on we can rollback from
any given savepoint
 Set Transaction
 To specify the properties of current Transaction
 Start Transaction
 To start transaction acitivity
TCL COMMANDS
By default, MySQL automatically commits the

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR

VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &

changes permanently to the database. To force
MySQL not to commit changes automatically,
you use the following statement:
Set autocommit = 0 Or
Set autocommit = OFF
To start again
Set autocommit = 1 Or
Set autocommit = ON
