CREATE a table from another

table
CREATE a table from another table
• You can also create a table from an existing
table by copying the existing table's columns.
• It is important to note that when creating a
table in this way, the new table will be
populated with the records from the existing
table (based on the SELECT Statement).
 The basic syntax is:
 CREATE TABLE new_table
AS (SELECT * FROM old_table);
 For Example:
 CREATE TABLE suppliers
AS (SELECT * FROM companies
WHERE id > 1000);
 This would create a new table called
suppliers that included all columns from the
companies table.
 If there were records in the companies
table, then the new suppliers table would
also contain the records selected by the
SELECT statement.
Copying selected columns from
another table
 The basic syntax is:
 CREATE TABLE new_table
AS (SELECT column_1, column2, ... column_n FROM
old_table);

 For Example:
 CREATE TABLE suppliers
AS (SELECT id, address, city, state, zip
FROM companies
WHERE id > 1000);
 This would create a new table called suppliers, but
the new table would only include the specified
columns from the companies table.
 Again, if there were records in the companies table,
then the new suppliers table would also contain the
records selected by the SELECT statement.
Copying selected columns from
multiple tables
 The basic syntax is:
 CREATE TABLE new_table
AS (SELECT column_1, column2, ... column_n
FROM old_table_1, old_table_2, ... old_table_n);
 For Example:
 CREATE TABLE suppliers
AS (SELECT companies.id, companies.address, categories.cat_type
FROM companies, categories
WHERE companies.id = categories.id
AND companies.id > 1000);
 This would create a new table called suppliers based on columns
from both the companies and categories tables.

• Syntax
• The syntax for the CREATE TABLE AS statement in SQLite is:

CREATE TABLE new_table AS SELECT


expressions FROM existing_tables [WHERE
conditions];

• Example:

CREATE TABLE active_employees AS SELECT *


FROM employees WHERE hire_date IS NOT NULL;
INSERT Statement
 The INSERT statement allows you to insert a
single record or multiple records into a table.
 The syntax for the INSERT statement is:
 INSERT INTO table
(column-1, column-2, ... column-n)
VALUES
(value-1, value-2, ... value-n);
More complex example

 You can also perform more complicated inserts


using sub-selects.
 For example:
 INSERT INTO suppliers (supplier_id,supplier_name,
SELECT account_no, name FROM customers
WHERE city = 'Newark’);
 By placing a "select" in the insert statement,
you can perform multiples inserts quickly
UPDATE Statement
 The UPDATE statement allows you to update a
single record or multiple records in a table.
 The syntax for the UPDATE statement is:
UPDATE table SET column = expression
WHERE predicates;
UPDATE Statement
 For example:
 UPDATE suppliers
SET name = 'HP'
WHERE name = 'IBM';
 This statement would update all supplier
names in the suppliers table from IBM to HP.
Updating multiple columns example
 UPDATE statement.
 UPDATE suppliers
SET name = 'Apple', product = 'iPhone'
WHERE name = 'Rim';
 When you wish to update multiple columns, you
can do this by separating the column/value pairs
with commas.
 This statement would update the supplier name
to "Apple" and product to "iPhone" where the
name of the supplier is "Rim".
DELETE Statement
 The DELETE statement allows you to delete a
single record or multiple records from a
table.
 The syntax for the DELETE statement is:
 DELETE FROM table WHERE predicates;
 For example
 DELETE FROM suppliers
WHERE supplier_name = 'IBM';
 This would delete all records from the
suppliers table where the supplier_name is
IBM.
SELECT Statement
 The SELECT statement allows you to retrieve
records from one or more tables in your
database.
 The syntax is :
SELECT <attribute list>
FROM <table list>
WHERE <condition>;
