Database

● An organized collection of data


● Data - any specific piece of information (ex: [email protected])

○ Manual - pen & paper


○ Computerized - on a digital device

Elements of a Database:

1. Field - single piece of data


2. Record - collection of related fields
3. Table - collection of records

Classifications:

● simple database - only maintains one category/table of data


● relational database - maintains two or more related categories/tables of data

(R)DBMS - (relational) database management system

MySQL - structure query language

Commands:
● mysql -p ←to open mysql
● exit← type twice to exit the app
● show databases; ← to show ur db
● use dbname; ← to activate ur database file
● describe tbname; ← shows table structure
● create table tbname (fldname type(#), fldname type(#)); ← creates
table w/ fieldnames/columns
● create database [IF NOT EXISTS] dbname; ← prevents you from creating a
new database that already exists
● insert into tbname (fldname, fldname) values (’val’,’val’); ← to
insert a value under a column

Select

● select * from tbname; ← displays all records in ur table, * is the short hand for
selecting all the columns

○ where fldname=’#’ ← selects a specific value from a field name in a table


○ order by fldname asc; or desc; ← arranges values from ascending to
descending
● limit # ← to limit the number or records you want to see

● select fieldname, fieldname from tbname; ← selects a specific column

General order for the select query:

○ SELECT: Specifies the columns to retrieve.


○ FROM: Specifies the table from which to retrieve the data.
○ WHERE: Filters the rows based on specified conditions.
○ ORDER BY: Specifies the order in which the rows should be returned.
○ LIMIT: limits the no. of rows you’re seeing

editing

→ modifying the table structure

→ modifying record

● alter table tbname add fieldname typ(#); ← to put another record.

ALTER TABLE tbname CHANGE old_column_name new_column_name column_type; ← to


change a field/column & width

● alter table tbname drop fdname; ← to delete a fdname


● alter table tbname rename new_tbname; ← to delete a fdname
● update *tbname* set fdname=#; ←changes all values under a field/column
● update tbname set fdname=# where fdname='#'; ← changes a specific value
under a field

Primary Key - info only exclusive to 1 user (ex: email, username, etc)

● alter table tbname add primary key (fdname); ← to add a primary key to a
field/column

● delete from tbname;←deletes all records from the table

delete from tbname where fdname=’#’; ← deletes a value from a field

delete from tbname ← deletes all values from a table

Data Types:

int - integer

float - # w/ decimal

text - can hold 250 letters & u can set the max of letters it can hold but it will save for the max #
of char it has (ex: fname text(30) - “Barde” ← will save 30)

varchar - like text but will save the number of characters in the word (ex: fname text(30) -
“Barde” ← will save 5)

u can press the up arrow & it will put in ur previous command. you can also retype ; if you forgot
to in ur previous command.

sql keywords are not case sensitive, so select will be the same as SELECT
