SQL Operators: Bookstore Inventory database

We will first of all create a bookstore table and fill it with dummy data and utilize that to learn
about different types of operators.

Creating Tables & Inserting required data into it:

CREATE TABLE Books (


BookID INT PRIMARY KEY,
Title VARCHAR(100),
Author VARCHAR(100),
Genre VARCHAR(50),
Price DECIMAL(5, 2),
Quantity INT,
PublicationYear INT
);

● CREATE TABLE Books starts the command to create a new table named 'Books'.
● Inside the parentheses, we define the columns and their data types:
● BookID INT PRIMARY KEY: An integer column for the book ID, set as the
primary key.
● Title VARCHAR(100): A variable character string column for the book title, with
a maximum length of 100 characters.
● Author VARCHAR(100): A column for the author's name, with a maximum
length of 100 characters.
● Genre VARCHAR(50): A string column for the genre, with a maximum length of
50 characters.
● Price DECIMAL(5, 2): A decimal column for the price, allowing up to 5 digits
with 2 decimal places.
● Quantity INT: An integer column for the quantity of books in stock.
● PublicationYear INT: An integer column for the publication year.

Inserting data into books table:

INSERT INTO Books (BookID, Title, Author, Genre, Price, Quantity,


PublicationYear) VALUES

(1, 'The Great Gatsby', 'F. Scott Fitzgerald', 'Fiction', 18.00, 5,


1925),

(2, 'To Kill a Mockingbird', 'Harper Lee', 'Fiction', 15.00, 7, 1960),

(3, '1984', 'George Orwell', 'Sci-Fi', 12.00, 10, 1949),


(4, 'The Catcher in the Rye', 'J.D. Salinger', 'Fiction', 20.00, 3,
1951),

(5, 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Jane Austen', 'Romance', 14.00, 6, 1813);

Operators

1. Arithmetic Operators

● Arithmetic operators are used for performing mathematical operations.

Example (Addition '+'):

SELECT Title, Price + 5 AS IncreasedPrice FROM Books;

● This query increases the price of each book by 5 and displays the new price alongside
the title.

Example (Multiplication '*'):

SELECT Title, Price * Quantity AS StockValue FROM Books;

● This calculates the total stock value of each book (price multiplied by quantity).

2. Wildcard Operators

● Wildcard operators are used with the LIKE operator for pattern matching in strings.

Example (Percent '%'):

SELECT * FROM Books WHERE Title LIKE '%and%';

● Finds all books with 'and' in their title, such as "Pride and Prejudice".

Example (Underscore '_'):

SELECT * FROM Books WHERE Title LIKE 'The _reat Gatsby';

● Matches titles like "The Great Gatsby" (where the underscore represents any single
character).

3. Logical Operators

● Logical operators are used to combine conditions.

Example (AND):

SELECT * FROM Books WHERE Genre = 'Fiction' AND Price < 20;
Selects all fiction books priced below $20.

Example (OR):

SELECT * FROM Books WHERE Genre = 'Fiction' OR Genre = 'Sci-Fi';

● Retrieves all books that are either in the 'Fiction' or 'Sci-Fi' genre.

Example (NOT):

SELECT * FROM Books WHERE NOT Genre = 'Fiction';

● Finds all books that are not in the 'Fiction' genre.

4. BETWEEN & IN Operators

● These operators are used for range checking and matching a list of values, respectively.

Example (BETWEEN):

SELECT * FROM Books WHERE PublicationYear BETWEEN 1900 AND 2000;

● Selects books published between the years 1900 and 2000.

Example (IN):

SELECT * FROM Books WHERE Genre IN ('Fiction', 'Romance');

● Retrieves all books that are in either the 'Fiction' or 'Romance' genres.
