To list available databases:

show databases;

CODE: Creating Databases

The general command for creating a database:

CREATE DATABASE <database_name>;

A specific example:

CREATE DATABASE soap_store;

CODE: Dropping and Using Databases

To drop a database:

DROP DATABASE <database-name>;

To use a database:

USE <database-name>;

CODE: Basic Datatypes Challenge: Tweet table

"Solution" to the Basic Datatypes Exercise

CODE: Creating Tables


Creating Tables:

1. CREATE TABLE cats (


2. name VARCHAR(50),
3. age INT
4. );
5.
6. CREATE TABLE dogs (
7. name VARCHAR(50),
8. breed VARCHAR(50),
9. age INT
10. );

CODE: How Do We Know It Worked?

SHOW tables;

SHOW COLUMNS FROM cats;

DESC cats;

CODE: Dropping Tables/ Delete

To drop a table:

DROP TABLE <table-name>;

To specifically drop the cats table:

DROP TABLE cats;

SOLUTION: Tables Basics Activity

Create the table:

1. CREATE TABLE pastries


2. (
3. name VARCHAR(50),
4. quantity INT
5. );

View tables:

SHOW TABLES;

View details of pastries table:

DESC pastries;

Delete the whole pastries table:

DROP TABLE pastries;

CODE: INSERT: The Basics

-- Re-create the cats table (I dropped it in a previous video)

1. CREATE TABLE cats (


2. name VARCHAR(50),
3. age INT
4. );

Insert a cat:

1. INSERT INTO cats (name, age)


2. VALUES ('Blue Steele', 5);

And another:

1. INSERT INTO cats (name, age)


2. VALUES ('Jenkins', 7);

CODE: A Quick Preview of SELECT

To view all rows in our table:

SELECT * FROM cats;


CODE: Multi-inserts

-- Single insert (switching order of name and age)


1. INSERT INTO cats (age, name)
2. VALUES
3. (2, 'Beth');

-- Multiple Insert:

1. INSERT INTO cats (name, age)


2. VALUES
3. ('Meatball', 5),
4. ('Turkey', 1),
5. ('Potato Face', 15);

SOLUTION: INSERT Exercise

-- INSERT Challenge Solution Code

1. CREATE TABLE people


2. (
3. first_name VARCHAR(20),
4. last_name VARCHAR(20),
5. age INT
6. );

1. INSERT INTO people(first_name, last_name, age)


2. VALUES ('Tina', 'Belcher', 13);

1. INSERT INTO people(age, last_name, first_name)


2. VALUES (42, 'Belcher', 'Bob');

1. INSERT INTO people(first_name, last_name, age)


2. VALUES
3. ('Linda', 'Belcher', 45),
4. ('Phillip', 'Frond', 38),
5. ('Calvin', 'Fischoeder', 70);

DROP TABLE people;


SELECT * FROM people;

SHOW TABLES;

CODE: Working With NOT NULL

Using NOT NULL:

1. CREATE TABLE cats2 (


2. name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
3. age INT NOT NULL
4. );

CODE: Adding DEFAULT Values

Define a table with a DEFAULT name specified:

1. CREATE TABLE cats3 (


2. name VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'no name provided',
3. age INT DEFAULT 99
4. );

Notice the change when you describe the table:

DESC cats3;

Insert a cat without a name:

INSERT INTO cats3(age) VALUES(13);

Or a nameless, ageless cat:

INSERT INTO cats3() VALUES();

Combine NOT NULL and DEFAULT:

1. CREATE TABLE cats4 (


2. name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'unnamed',
3. age INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 99

);

CODE: Introducing Primary Keys

-- One way of specifying a PRIMARY KEY

1. CREATE TABLE unique_cats (


2. cat_id INT PRIMARY KEY,
3. name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
4. age INT NOT NULL
5. );

-- Another option:

1. CREATE TABLE unique_cats2 (


2. cat_id INT,
3. name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
4. age INT NOT NULL,
5. PRIMARY KEY (cat_id)

);

CODE: Working With AUTO_INCREMENT

-- AUTO_INCREMENT

1. CREATE TABLE unique_cats3 (


2. cat_id INT AUTO_INCREMENT,
3. name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
4. age INT NOT NULL,
5. PRIMARY KEY (cat_id)
6. );

SOLUTION: Insert Exercise

-- Defining employees table


1. CREATE TABLE employees (
2. id INT AUTO_INCREMENT,
3. first_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
4. last_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
5. middle_name VARCHAR(255),
6. age INT NOT NULL,
7. current_status VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'employed',
8. PRIMARY KEY(id)
9. );

-- Another way of defining the primary key:

1. CREATE TABLE employees (


2. id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
3. first_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
4. last_name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
5. middle_name VARCHAR(255),
6. age INT NOT NULL,
7. current_status VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'employed'
8. );

-- A test INSERT:

1. INSERT INTO employees(first_name, last_name, age) VALUES


2. ('Dora', 'Smith', 58);
