SQL Summary by Kate Lange

Note: Please use these notes as a reminder of work already learnt, do not study from these notes
alone.

SELECT:

 SELECT* (wildcard selects all fields)


 SELECT TOP <n>
 SELECT <field1>, <field2>
 SELECT DISTINCT (removes dupicates)
 SELECT <Calculation> AS <Name of new Field>
 SELECT INT <value>
 SELECT ROUND <Value>
 SELECT MOD <value> (modulus)
 SELECT INT(RND <field/Value> )* (max-min +1) + min
 SELECT LEFT, RIGHT (<Field>, <n>)
 SELECT MID (<Field>, <n1> <n2>)
 SELECT LEN <Field> ( gives number of characters)
o SELECT Surename & ‘ ’ & LEFT (FirstName, 1) AS FullNameAndInitals
 SELECT MAX/MIN (<field>) AS <new Alias> (give larges and smallest numbers in their fields
respectively)
 SELECT SUM (<field>) AS <new Alias> (adds all values in a field)
 SELECT COUNT (<field>) As <new Alias> (Counts values in a field)
 SELECT AVG (<field>) As <new Alias> (averages all numbers in a field)

FROM:

 <tableName>

WHERE:

 WHERE <condition> (something like totalPages > 3


 WHERE <field> BETWEEN <condition> AND <condition>
 WHERE <field> IN (values) AND NOT IN (values)
 WHERE <field> LIKE ‘abc*’ (must start with abc but after it can end in anything cause wild
card *)
 WHERE <Field> <Condition (<; > ect)> (<SELECT e.g. AVG(Pages)>)

ORDER BY:

 <field1>, <field2>
 ASC and DESC

GROUP BY:

 Allows to order via an aggregate function. IE use Alias


 HAVING works the same why that WHERE does for SELECT

Calculating Time working with years

 SELECT
 YEAR/MONTH/DAY/HOUR/MINUTE/SECOND (dateTimeValue)
ie YEAR (<field Value>) isolates the year from that value
 NOW () can also be seen as a variable
 EG
o SELECT DOB,
YEAR (DOB) AS Year,
(NOW ()- DOB)/ 365.25 AS ActualAge

INSERT INTO:

INSERT INTO <tableName>

VALUES <Values>

MULTIPLE RECORDS w/ EMBBEDDED SELECT

INSERT INTO <tableName> <Fields>

SELECT <fields>

FROM <tableName>

WHERE <Conditions>

Eg:

INSERT INTO PrintLogs (PDate, SureName,FirstName…)

SELECT PDATE, ‘Soap’, ‘joe’….)

FROME PrintLogs

Where SureName = ‘Schlute’ AND FirstName = ‘Faith’

This adds records for Joe that are exactly the same as Faiths

UPDATE:

UPDATE <tableName>

SET <Field> = <value>,<Field> = <value>,…

WHERE <condition>

DELETE :

DELETE FROM <tableName>

WHERE <condition>
