DBMS Exp6

The document describes several examples of nested and complex queries used to retrieve data from tables in a college management database system, including finding principals that are or are not in both the principal and staff tables, finding staff with salaries greater than or equal to other staff, and backing up the principal table records to a new table.

Database Management System

Experiment No-6

Topic: College Management System

Aim: Nested queries and Complex queries.

Theory: A Subquery or Inner query or Nested query is a query within another


SQL query and embedded within the WHERE clause.
A subquery is used to return data that will be used in the main query as a condition
to further restrict the data to be retrieved.
Subqueries can be used with the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE
statements along with the operators like =, <, >, >=, <=, IN, BETWEEN etc.

SELECT column_name [, column_name ]


FROM table1 [, table2 ]
WHERE column_name OPERATOR
(SELECT column_name [, column_name ]
FROM table1 [, table2 ]
[WHERE])

1) Finding the principals who are in principal table and also in the staff
table

mysql> select name


-> from principal
-> where p_no in (select staff_no from staff);
2) Finding the principals who are in principal table but not in staff table

mysql> select name


-> from principal
-> where p_no not in (select staff_no from staff);

3) Finding all the staff who have greater salary than at least one staff of
VJTI college

mysql> select *
-> from staff
-> where salary > some (select salary
-> from staff
-> where college_name = 'VJTI');
4) Finding all the staff who have salary greater than or equal to that of
each staff of the VJTI college

mysql> select *
-> from staff
-> where salary >= all (select salary
-> from staff
-> where college_name = 'VJTI');

5) Finding the principals who appear in the principal table and also in the
staff table using EXISTS

mysql> select *
-> from principal
-> where exists(select *
-> from staff
-> where principal.p_no = staff.staff_no);
6) Finding the principals who appear in the principal table but not in the
staff table using NOT EXISTS

mysql> select *
-> from principal
-> where not exists(select *
-> from staff
-> where principal.p_no = staff.staff_no);

7) Creating the table of the principal table by copying all the records of
the principal table in to the principal_backup table

mysql> create table principal_backup(


-> age int not null,
-> qualification varchar(100),
-> name varchar(100),
-> p_no int primary key);

mysql> insert into principal_backup


-> select * from principal;
Conclusion: Database is searched for various nested and correlated queries.
