Keys
Primary Key

It is a column (or set of columns) in a table that uniquely identifies each row. (a unique id)
There is only 1 PK & it should be NOT null.

Foreign Key

A foreign key is a column (or set of columns) in a table that refers to the primary key in another table.
There can be multiple FKs.

FKs can have duplicate & null

values. APNA

 Constraints
SQL constraints are used to specify rules for data in a table.

NOT NULL columns cannot have a null value

UNIQUE all values in column are different

PRIMARY makes a column unique & not null but used only for
KEY one

Where Clause
To define some conditions

SELECT col1, col2 FROM table_name

Where Clause
Using Operators in WHERE

Arithmetic Operators : +(addition) , -(subtraction), *(multiplication), /(division), %(modulus)

Comparison Operators : = (equal to), != (not equal to), > , >=, <, <=

Logical Operators : AND, OR , NOT, IN, BETWEEN, ALL, LIKE, ANY

Bitwise Operators : & (Bitwise AND), | (Bitwise OR)

APNA
COLLEG

Operators

AND (to check for both conditions to be true)

Operators

Between (selects for a given range)

In (matches any value in the list)

On Delete Cascade
When we create a foreign key using this option, it deletes the referencing rows in the child table
when the referenced row is deleted in the parent table which has a primary key.

When we create a foreign key using UPDATE CASCADE the referencing rows are updated in the child
table when the referenced row is updated in the parent table which has a primary key.
