INTRODUCTION TO DBMS
Why DBMS: Human needs have increased tremendously. Now people are
doing much more composite tasks than ever before. The society has become very
complex. a person has to work with huge amount of information every day. In
order to work with the enormous information, we must have a system where we
can store, manipulate and share the information all over the world. It is one of the
core reasons for introducing Database Management Systems (DBMS) as well as
Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) now-a-days.
So, one thing is clear to us that we store and manipulate data / information into
a database, where the database contains various types of tables for storing
various types of data / information.
Data:
Whatever we are inputting from the keyboard is known as Data. It can
also be called as RAWFACTS / FIGURES
Data never provides any meaning for us
Information:
Processed Data is known as Information
Information always gives meaning for us
Database:
Collection of information belongs to a particular topic (an organization)
written in a predetermined manner stored at a particular place is called
as database.
Disadvantages:
ROOT
Child Child
Drawback:
Only one person can share the database simultaneously
No security
Disadvantage:
There is no proper security for the centralized database
Redundancy of the database is increased
It occupies lot of memory and it leads to decrease system performance
and increase the inconsistency.

All information in the database is to be represented in one and only one way. This
is achieved by values in column positions within rows of tables.
All data must be accessible with no ambiguity, that is, Each and every datum
(atomic value) is guaranteed to be logically accessible by resorting to a
combination of table name, primary key value and column name.
Null values (distinct from empty character string or a string of blank characters and
distinct from zero or any other number) are supported in the fully relational DBMS
for representing missing information in a systematic way, independent of data
type.
The database description is represented at the logical level in the same way as
ordinary data, so authorized users can apply the same relational language to its
interrogation as they apply to regular data. The authorized users can access the
database structure by using common language i.e. SQL.
A relational system may support several languages and various modes of terminal
use. However, there must be at least one language whose statements are
expressible, per some well-defined syntax, as character strings and whose ability to
support all of the following is comprehensible:
a. data definition
b. view definition
c. data manipulation (interactive and by program)
d. integrity constraints
e. authorization
f. Transaction boundaries (begin, commit, and rollback).
All views that are theoretically updateable are also updateable by the system.
The system is able to insert, update and delete operations fully. It can also perform
the operations on multiple rows simultaneously.
Features of RDBMS
Whenever we design ERD‟s the user has to follow the following symbols
Mb no EID P-ID
Store
Products Warehouse
Sales s
Representative OrderId
Cost PName
Salary EName
Servi
ces
CID
MbNo
o Enterprise Edition: It is the most robust and secure edition. It offers all features, including superior
performance and security.
o Standard Edition: It provides the base functionality for users that do not require Enterprise Edition's
robust package.
o Express Edition (XE): It is the lightweight, free and limited Windows, and Linux edition.
o Oracle Lite: It is designed for mobile devices.
o Personal Edition: It's comparable to the Enterprise Edition but without the Oracle Real Application
Clusters feature.
CHAR(size) It is used to store character data within the predefined length. It can be stored up to 2000
bytes.
NCHAR(size) It is used to store national character data within the predefined length. It can be stored up
to 2000 bytes.
VARCHAR2(size) It is used to store variable string data within the predefined length. It can be stored up to
4000 byte.
VARCHAR(SIZE) It is the same as VARCHAR2(size). You can also use VARCHAR(size), but it is suggested to
use VARCHAR2(size)
NVARCHAR2(size It is used to store Unicode string data within the predefined length. We have to must
) specify the size of NVARCHAR2 data type. It can be stored up to 4000 bytes.
Oracle Numeric Data Types
NUMBER(p, s) It contains precision p and scale s. The precision p can range from 1 to 38, and the scale s
can range from -84 to 127.
FLOAT(p) It is a subtype of the NUMBER data type. The precision p can range from 1 to 126.
BINARY_FLOAT It is used for binary precision( 32-bit). It requires 5 bytes, including length byte.
BINARY_DOUBL It is used for double binary precision (64-bit). It requires 9 bytes, including length byte
E
DATE It is used to store a valid date-time format with a fixed length. Its range varies from January 1,
4712 BC to December 31, 9999 AD.
TIMESTAM It is used to store the valid date in YYYY-MM-DD with time hh:mm:ss format.
P
STRUCTURE QUERY LANGUAGE:
It is a non procedural language which is used to communicate with any database
such as Oracle, sqlserver etc.
Features of SQL:
SQL is not a case sensitive language it means that all the commands of
Sql are not case sensitive
Every command of sql should ends with a semicolon (;) (It is exemption
for SQL Server)
SQL can be pronounced as Sequel (Structured English Query Language)
SQL can be called as Common Language Interface, which is used to
communicate with any type of database
SQL can be called as NLI (Natural Language Interface). It means that all
the SQL Commands are almost similar to normal English language
Structured query language is mainly divided into 4 sub languages
1. DDL (Data Definition Language)
2. DML (Data Manipulation Language)
3. TCL (Transaction Control Language)
4. DCL(Data Control Language)
SQL
1. Create:
This command is used to create the database objects within the database
Syntax: CREATE TABLE <TABLE NAME>
(COL 1 DATA TYPE (size),
COL2 DATA TYPE (size),
:
:
:
COLN DATA TYPE (size));
Ex: CREATE TABLE EMP (EID NUMBER, ENAME Varchar 2(15), SAL
NUMBER(6, 2));
a. ALTER-ALTER COLUMN:
b. ALTER-ADD:
c. ALTER-DROP:
This command is used to change the table name from old table name to
new table name
Syntax: ALTER TABLE TANLENAME COLUMN OLDNAME TO NEWNAME
Ex: ALTER TABLE EMP COLUMN SAL TO SALARY
3. TRUNCATE:
This command is used for to delete all the records from existing
table permanently
Syntax: TRUNCATE TABLE <TABLE NAME>
Ex: TRUNCATE TABLE EMP;
4. DROP:
This command is used to remove the table permanently from the database
Syntax: DROP TABLE <TABLE NAME>
Ex: DROP TABLE EMP;
DECRIPTION OF TABLE:
DESC TABLENAME
DESC EMP
DATA MANIPULATING LANGUAGE
Data Manipulating Language: This is the 2nd sub language in SQL,
which is used to manipulate the data within database. This Language contains 4
commands
1. Insert
2. Update
3. Delete
4. Select
1. INSERT:
Using this command we can Insert the records into the existing table
We can insert the records into the table in two methods
Explicit method
Implicit method
Explicit method:
In this method user has to enter all the values into all the columns
without anything omitting (or) left any column data
Syntax: INSERT INTO <TABLE NAME> VALUES <VAL1, VAL2,
….VALN>;
(OR)
INSERT <TABLE NAME> VALUES <VAL1, VAL2, .VALN>;
(Here “INTO” Keyword is optional)
In this method we can enter the values into the required columns in the
table, so that user can omit (or) left some columns data while he enters the
records into the table
If the user omit any column data in the table then it automatically
takes NULL
Syntax: INSERT INTO <TABLE NAME> (COL1, COL2….COLN)
VALUES (VAL1, VAL2… VALN);
Ex: INSERT INTO EMP (EID, SAL) VALUES (106,9999);
2. UPDATE:
3. DELETE:
06 Truncate will reset the identity Delete will not reset the identity
Values value
4. SELECT:
Selection:
WHERE CLAUSE:
ALIAS is a duplicate name (or) alternate name for the original column
name (or) Table name (or) an expression name.
In the above example returns the runtime error message invalid column
name „annual salary‟ because we cannot check the conditions on Alias name
Built In Functions(System Functions) IN SQL: SQL server
provide number of built in functions like mathematical functions, character
functions, date and time functions, aggregative functions,convertion functions
etc.these can be used to perform certain operations and return a value.
ABSOLUTE (): Returns the absolute, positive value of the given numeric expression.
CEILING (): Returns the smallest integer greater than, or equal to, the given
numeric expression.
Ex: select ceil(15.000) from dual 15
select ceil(15.0001) from dual 16
select ceil(-12.34) from dual -----(-12)
FLOOR (): Returns the largest integer less than or equal to the given numeric
expression.
COS (): A mathematic function that returns the trigonometric cosine of the given
angle (in radians) in the given expression.
RIGHT (): Returns the right part of a character string with the specified number of
characters.
LENGTH (): Returns the number of characters, rather than the number of bytes,
of the given string expression.
UPPER (): Returns a character expression with lowercase character data converted
to uppercase.
RTRIM (): Returns a character string after truncating all trailing blanks.
SUM (): Returns the sum of all the values .Sum can be used with numeric columns
only. Null values are ignored.
AVG (): Returns the average of the values in a group. Null values are ignored.
COUNT (): Returns the number of records in a table. This function again use in
three ways.
Distinct Key: If we use this key word on a column with in a query then it will
retrieve the values of the column without duplicates.
OPERATORS IN SQL: Operator is a symbol which performs some
specific operation on operands or expressions. These operators are classified into 6
types in SQL.
1. Assignment operator
2. Arithmetic operator
3. Comparison operator
4. Logical operator
5. Set operator
Ex1: Write a Query to display the employee details whose salary is equal to10000
Step1: Create table student (Sid int, sname varchar (50), math‟s int, phy int, che
int, total int, average int, class varchar (max))
Else
'Fail'
End
CASE (): This function is used to execute list of conditions and returns a value.
Syntax: Case
Else
<Statement>
End
Comparison operators: Comparison operators test whether two
expressions are the same. Comparison operators can be used on all expressions
except expressions of the text, ntext, or image data types. The following table lists
the Transact-SQL comparison operators are > (Greater Than),< (Less Than)
,>= (Greater Than or Equal To) ,<= (Less Than or Equal To) ,!= (Not Equal
To),!< (Not Less Than),!> (Not Greater Than)
Examples:
Logical operator: Logical operators test for the truth of some condition.
Logical operators, like comparison operators, return a Boolean data type with a
value of TRUE or FALSE. Logical operators are AND , OR , NOT, BETWEEN,
NOT BETWEEN, LIKE, NOT LIKE, IN, NOT IN, EXISTS,NOT EXISTS, ANY,
ALL, SOME.
Examples:
Write a Query to display the employee details whose name starts with „r‟
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE ENAME LIKE „r%‟
Write a Query to display the employee details whose name ends with „y‟
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE ENAME LIKE „%Y‟
Write a Query to display the employee details whose names contain „r‟
and salary greater than 9000
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE ENAME LIKE „%R%‟ AND SAL>9000
Write a Query to display the employee details whose greater than ram
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE ENAME>‟RAM‟
Write a Query to display the employee details whose employee id starts
with 1 and ends with 1
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE EID LIKE „1%1‟
(SQL commands are not case sensitive and also data available in SQL also not case
sensitive, in oracle Data available is case sensitive)
Queries using ‘Update’ with ‘where’ clause:
Write a query to change the deptno as 20 who does not have deptno
UPDATE EMPSET DEPTNO=20 WHERE DEPTNO IS NULL
Write a query to change the employee salaries as 8500 who are working
under 10 and 20 deptno
UPDATE EMPSET SAL=8500 WHERE DEPTNO=10 OR DEPTNO=20
(OR)
UPDATE EMPSET SAL=8500 WHERE DEPTNO IN(10,20)
Write a query to change the employee salaries as 8500 who are not working
under 10 and 20 deptno
UPDATE EMPSET SAL=8500 WHERE DEPTNO NOT IN (10,20)
Set Operators: Set operators combine results from two or more queries into a
single result set. SQL Server provides the following set operators.
UNION
UNION ALL
INTERSECT
MINUS
To combine the results of two queries we need to follow the below basic rules.
The number and the order of the columns must be the same in all queries.
The data types must be compatible(Well-Matched)
Example:
------------------------------------------------
EMP_CHENNAI
EID ENAME
101 SAI
105 POOJA
106 JASMIN
UNION: it combines the result of two or more select statements into a single result
set that includes all the records belongs to all queries except duplicate values.
Union
OUTPUT: ENAME
JASMIN
KAMAL
NEETHU
POOJA
SAI
SIDDHU
UNION ALL: it is same as union but returns duplicate values
Union ALL
OUTPUT: ENAME
SAI
SIDDHU
KAMAL
NEETHU
SAI
POOJA
JASMIN
INTERSECT: INTERSECT returns any distinct values that are common in left
and right tables.
Intersect
OUTPUT: ENAME
SAI
MINUS: MINUS returns any distinct values from the left query that are not
found on the right query.
Minus
OUTPUT: ENAME
KAMAL
NEETHU
SIDDHU
Except
OUTPUT: ENAME
JASMIN
POOJA
WHERE: This clause is used for filter or restricts the records from the table.
Ex: SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE SAL=10000
ORDER BY: The order by clause is used to sort or arrange the data in
ascending or descending order with in table. By default order by
clause arrange or sort the data in ascending order only.
If we want to arrange the records in a descending order then
we use Desc keyword.
We can apply order by clause on integer and string columns.
Ex: SELECT * FROM EMP ORDER BY EID (For Ascending Order)
Ex: SELECT * FROM EMP ORDER BY ENAME DESC (For Descending Order)
TOP N CLAUSE: This clause is used to fetch a top n number of records from a
table.
GROUP BY: Group by clause will use for to arrange similar data into groups.
when we apply group by clause in the query then we use group functions like
count(),sum(),max(),min(),avg().
If we use group by clause in the query, first the data in the table will be divided
into different groups based on the columns and then execute the group function on
each group to get the result.
Ex1: WAQ to find out the number of employees working in the organization
Ex2: WAQ to find out the number of employees working in each group in the
organization.
Ex3: WAQ to find out the total salary of each department in the organization
Ex: WAQ to find out the number of employees in each department only if the
count is greater than 3
Syntax: Select * into <New Table Name> from <Old Table Name>
In this case it creates a table New_Emp by copying all the rows and columns of the
Employee table.
In this case it creates a table Test_Emp with only the specified columns from the
employee table.
In this case it creates the Dummy table without any data in it.
Copying data from one existing table to another table:
We can copy the data from one table to another table by using a combination of
insert and select statement as following
Syntax: Insert into <Dummy Table name> select * from <Table Name>
Constraint in SQL
Why Constraint in SQL: Constraint is using to restrict the insertion of
unwanted data in any columns. We can create constraints on single or multiple
columns of any table. It maintains the data integrity i.e. accurate data or original
data of the table. Data integrity rules fall into three categories:
Entity integrity
Referential integrity
Domain integrity
Domain Integrity: Domain integrity ensures the data values inside a database
follow defined rules for values, range, and format. A database can enforce these
rules using CHECK KEY constraints.
In a table we create one primary key but we can create more than one unique key
in Sql Server.
2. Not null constraint: - Not null constraint is used to restrict the insertion of
null value at that column but allow duplicate values.
4. Primary Key:- Primary key is a combination of unique and not null which
does not allow duplicate as well as null values into a column. In a table we create
one primary key only.
In order to create a link between two tables we must specify a foreign key in one
table that references a column in another table.
Foreign key constraint is used for relating or binding two tables with each other
and then verifies the existence of one table data in the other.
We require two tables for binding with each other and those two tables must have a
common column for linking the tables.
Example:
When we impose the foreign key constraint and establish relation between the
table,the followiong three rules will come into picture.
Rule1:- Cannot insert a value into the foreign key column provided that value is
not existing under the refernce key column of the parent table.
Rule2:- Cannot update the reference key value of a parent table provided that
value has corresponding child record in the child table with out addressing what
to do with the child record.
Rule3:- Cannot delete a record from the parent table provided that records
reference key value has child record in the child table with out addressing what to
do with the child record.
If we want to delete or update a record in the parent table when they have
corresponding child records in the child table we are provide with a set of rules to
perform delete and update operations knows as cascade rules.
On delete cascade:- It is used to delete a key value in the parent table which is
referenced by foreign key in other table all rows that contains those foreign keys in
child table are also deleted.
Making a Relationship between Three Tables
CASE-1:
Create table CUSTOMER (CID Int primary key, CNAME Varchar (20),
MAILID Varchar (40))
CASE-2
Create table PRODUCTS (PCODE Int primary key, PNAME varchar (50),
PRICE money)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CASE-3
Create table ORDERS (ORID Int primary key, ORDATE date, QUANTITY
int,CID Int foreign key references CUSTOMER(cid) on delete cascade,
PCODE Int foreign key references PRODUCTS(pcode) on update cascade
on delete cascade)
----------------------------------------------------------
JOINS IN SQL: Joins are used for retrieving the data from more than one
table at a time. Joins can be classified into the following types.
INNER JOIN OR EQUI JOIN
OUTER JOIN
LEFT OUTER JOIN
RIGHT OUTER JOIN
FULL OUTER JOIN
SELF JOIN
CROSS JOIN
EQUI JOIN: If two or more tables are combined using equality condition then
we call as an Equi join.
Ex: WAQ to get the matching records from EMP and DEPT tables
INNER JOIN: Inner join return only those records that match in both table
To overcome the above problem we use outer join which are used to getting
matching data as well as UN matching data from the tables. This outer join again
classified into three types
LEFT OUTER JOIN: It will retrieve or get matching data from both table as well
as UN matching data from left hand side table
RIGHT OUTER JOIN: It will retrieve or get matching data from both table as
well as UN matching data from right hand side table
FULL OUTER JOIN: It will retrieve or get matching data from both table as well
as UN matching data from left hand side table plus right hand side table also.
SELF JOIN: Joining a table by itself is known as self join. When we have some
relation between the columns within the same table then we use self join.
When we implement self join we should use alias names for a table and a table
contains any no. of alias names.
Ex: SELECT E.EID, E.ENAME, E.SALARY, M.MID, M.ENAME
MANAGERSNAME, M.SALARY FROM EMP E, EMP M WHERE
E.EID=M.MID.
CROSS JOIN: Cross join is used to join more than two tables without any
condition we call as a cross join. In cross join each row of the first table join with
each row of the second table.
So, if the first table contain „m‟ rows and second table contain „n‟ rows then output
will be „m*n‟ rows.
CREATE TABLE COURSES (CID int, CNAME Varchar (20), CFEE decimal (6, 2))
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select * from course c inner join student s on c.cid=s.cid inner join register r on
s.cid=r.cid
Select * from student s left outer join course c on s.cid=c.cid left outer join
register r on c.cid=r.cid
Sub Query: A select query contains another select query is called sub Query.
In this, there will be two queries those are called as inner query and outer query.
When it is executed, first inner query is executed later outer query will be executed
Examples:
1) WAQ to find the details of employee who is earning the highest salary.
3) WAQ to find the details of employee who is earning third highest salary.
Sol: select * from employee where EID IN (select EID FROM employee where
DNAME='.NET')
Sol: select * from employee where EID IN (select EID FROM employee where
DNAME='.NET' OR DNAME='HR')
Outer query will execute first and value of the outer query will be used
by co- related sub query i.e. inner query.
When outer query is executed then the copy of the table will be stored in
memory, later co related sub query will check the values and will give Ranks
to the outer query rows in the memory ,according to the ranks the result
will be displayed.
Note: - To find Top n salaries list use “n>”.To find nth highest salary use “n-1”.
Examples:
6) WAQ to display top 2 salaries list from employee table.
(Or)
Note: - Here Distinct Key will be used when the table contain duplicate values.
(Or)
Sol: Select * from employee E where 0=(select count( salary) from employee
M where M.salary>E.salary)
least salary
9) WAQ to get the details of the department in which employee are working.
10) WAQ to get the details of the department in which employee are
not working.
Syntax to Delete Duplicate Records from a table contains more than two same
duplicate values:
with duplicates as
(select * ,ROW_NUMBER() over(partition by sid,sname, fee order by
sid,sname,fee) rownum from student)
delete from duplicates where rownum > 1
select the complete above query and execute then we delete all duplicate records
which are greater than 1 i.e.output is like below
SID SNAME FEE Rownum
10 Sai 12000 1
20 Siddhu 45000 1
30 Meena 65000 1
VIEWS IN SQL: View is database object which is like table but logical.
We can call it as a logical or virtual table because it does not has a physical
existence.
It is a logical table use to get the required information from the table.
View will be created by using select statement and table used for the
creation of the view is called as base table.
View will not store records in it and will not occupy memory space
with help of structure existing in it and records will be displayed from
table.
View is logical representation or virtual representation .it is a dependent
where as table an independent is because view is extracted from the
table.
If we want to access the data from the table it‟s not necessary to change the
data direct to the table but we can access by having a view.
Views are used for security purpose in databases, views restricts the user
from viewing certain column and rows means by using view we can
apply the restriction on accessing the particular rows and columns for
specific user.
Views display only those data which are mentioned in the query, so it
shows only data which is returned by the query that is defined at the time of
creation of the View.
Why We Need Views: To protect the data. If you have a table
containing sensitive data in certain columns, you might wish to hide those
columns from certain groups of users. For instance, customer names, addresses
and their social security numbers might all be stored in the same table;
however, for lower level employees like shipping clerks, you can create a view
that only displays customer name and address. You can grant permissions to a
view without allowing users to query the original tables.
A view is a logical table but what it stores internally is a select statement
that is used for creating the view. So that whenever a user performs any
operation on the view like select, insert, update or delete internally the view
performs those operations on a table.
Simply we can say that view will act as an interface between the
data provider (Table) and the User.
View is created based on a table any changes that are performed on the table
reflects into the view any changes performed on the view reflect into the table also.
View is classified into two types. These are
Simple view: we create a view based on one table is called simple view or
Updatable view.
Complex view: we create a view based on more than one table is called complex
view or Non-Updatable view.
Syntax: create view <view name> as select * from <table name>
Ex1: create view simpleview as select * from emp;
Begin
<Function Body>
End
DCL commands are used to enforce database security in multiple users’ database
environment.
GRANT: Grant command is used for giving a privilege or permission for a user to perform
operations on the database.
Syntax: GRANT <Privilege Name> on <object name> To {User} [With GRANT OPTION]
Privilege Name: Used to granted permission to the users for some rights are ALL, EXECUTE
and SELECT.
Object Name: It is the name of database objects like Table, Views and Stored Procedure
etc….
User: Used for to whom an access rights is being granted.
With Grant Option: Allows a user to grant access rights to other users.
REVOKE: Revoke command removes user access rights / privileges to the
database OR taking back the permission that is given to a user.
