DML1 [Insert, Update, Delete]

1. Inserting New Rows

It is possible to write insert into statements in two ways:

1- specifies both the column names and the values to be inserted:

INSERT INTO <tablename> [<column list>]


VALUES (<expression>{[,<expression>]})

2- if you are adding all values to all columns, you don’t need to spcify column names

INSERT INTO <tablename>


VALUES (value1,value2,…..)
Hint: you should make sure the order of the values is in the same order as the columns
in the table.

Example 1:

❖ Insert new student into the student table with the following properties:
Student id=1 , Name= Ali, Age=19, and City= ‘Cairo’

INSERT INTO Student (SSN,Name,Age,City) VALUES (1,'Ali',19,'Cairo')

INSERT INTO Student VALUES (2,’Wafaa',19,'Cairo',null,null)


///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
insert into Student values (3,'Wafaa',19,'Cairo','IS',null) → this raise ad error as major is the FK
and not inserted yet into department … you should insert this row first into Department
table
INSERT INTO department values ('IS','Information System')

2. Updating Values in Rows

UPDATE <tablename>
SET <column name>=<expression>,<column name>=<expression>
[WHERE <Condition>]

Example 1:

❖ Increase the age of students by 1

update Student
set age=age+1

Example 2: (Using Where Clause)

❖ Change the name of the STudent with SSN 1 to be ‘AHMED’

update Student
set name='ahmed'
where SSN=1

Example 3: (Update more than one cloumn with a condition)

❖ Change the name of the STAFF with id 1 back to ‘ALI’ and let his age be 18

update Student
set name='Ali',
age=18
where SSN=1

3. Deleting rows from a table

DELETE
FROM <table name>
[WHERE <Condition>]

Example 1:

❖ Delete all rows of table Student (Don’t try it)

delete from Student

2
Example 2:

❖ Delete the Student with SSN 2

delete from Student


where SSN=2

Example 3: (Using more than one condition)

❖ Delete the STudent that has an id 1 or 2

delete from Student


where SSN=2 or
SSN=1

BETTER STATEMENT THAT DOES THE SAME JOB OF THE PREVIOUS ONE :

delete from Student


where SSN IN (1,2);
