Views, Sequences, Synonyms


AIM: To create views, sequences and synonyms in RDBMS.

VIEW
Views are used to provide security for the data. They provide a virtual image for a database.
#Create View:
This command is used to create database view in RDBMS.
Syntax
CREATE VIEW view_name as select <columnname> from <tablename>;
#Update View:
This command is used to change a value of a record in the database.

Syntax

UPDATE view_name SET column name =new value WHERE column name=some value;

#Drop View:
Drop command is used to drop the view.

Syntax

DROP view view_name;

SYNONYM
Description

A synonym is an alternative name for objects such as tables, views, sequences, stored procedures, and
other database objects.

Syntax

The syntax to create a synonym in Oracle is:

CREATE OR REPLACE SYNONYM <synonym_name> FOR <object name>;


OR REPLACE allows you to recreate the synonym (if it already exists) without having to issue a DROP
synonym command. The object_name is the name of the object for which you are creating the synonym.
It can be one of the following:

 table
 view
 sequence
 stored procedure
 function
 synonym

Drop Synonym:

Once a synonym has been created in Oracle, you might at some point need to drop the synonym.

Syntax

The syntax to drop a synonym in Oracle is:

DROP SYNONYM <synonym_name>;

SEQUENCES (AUTONUMBER)

Learn how to create and drop sequences in Oracle with syntax and examples.

Description

In Oracle, you can create an auto number field by using sequences. A sequence is an object in Oracle that
is used to generate a number sequence. This can be useful when you need to create a unique number to act
as a primary key.

Create Sequence:

You may wish to create a sequence in Oracle to handle an auto number field.

Syntax

The syntax to create a sequence in Oracle is:


CREATE SEQUENCE sequence_name
MINVALUE value
MAXVALUE value
START WITH value
INCREMENT BY value
CACHE value;

Using Sequences:

<sequence name>.NEXTVAL;

INSERT INTO <tablename> VALUES (<sequence name>.NEXTVAL);

Drop Sequence:

Once you have created your sequence in Oracle, you might find that you need to remove it from the
database.

Syntax

The syntax to a drop a sequence in Oracle is:

DROP SEQUENCE <sequence_name>;

sequence_name is the name of the sequence that you wish to drop.
