Data Manipulation Language

The document discusses SQL insert, update, and delete clauses. It provides the syntax for each clause and notes that: - For insert, the number of column values must equal the number of table columns and be the same type. - For update, it is not possible to update multiple tables in one query and new values must satisfy column constraints. - For delete, when no conditions are specified, all table records will be removed, equivalent to using TRUNCATE. The document then provides examples to test understanding of using each clause with specific customer and order tables.

Insert into Clause


• The values to be added must verify the defined constraints on the columns table.
• Any record which does not verify the constraints will be rejected.
• The columns created with NOT NULL constraint must have values.
• We can use the following syntax to insert data from table.

SELECT column1, column2 from table_name1;

Update clause
Syntax:
UPDATE table_name SET column_name=new_value
[WHERE (conditions)];
It is not possible to update several tables in the same query.
The new values must satisfy the columns constraints
When there is no conditions in the query, then all the table rows will be updated with the same
value.
