SQL Cheat Sheet

1. Data Definition Language (DDL)


----------------------------------
Creating a Database:
CREATE DATABASE database_name;
USE database_name;

Creating a Table:
CREATE TABLE table_name (
column_name data_type constraints,
column_name data_type constraints,
PRIMARY KEY (column_name)
);

Altering a Table:
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD column_name data_type;
ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name;
ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name new_data_type;
ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME COLUMN old_name TO new_name;
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name constraint_definition;

Dropping a Table:
DROP TABLE table_name;

2. Data Manipulation Language (DML)


------------------------------------
Inserting Data:
INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, ...) VALUES (value1, value2, ...);

Updating Data:
UPDATE table_name SET column1 = value1 WHERE condition;

Deleting Data:
DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;

3. Retrieving Data (SELECT Queries)


------------------------------------
Basic SELECT Statement:
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name WHERE condition;

Sorting Data:
SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name ASC/DESC;

Filtering Data:
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name = value;
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name > value;
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name BETWEEN value1 AND value2;
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name IN (value1, value2, value3);
SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name LIKE 'pattern%';

Aggregate Functions:
SELECT COUNT(column_name) FROM table_name;
SELECT AVG(column_name) FROM table_name;
SELECT MIN(column_name), MAX(column_name) FROM table_name;
SELECT SUM(column_name) FROM table_name;

Grouping Data:
SELECT column_name, COUNT(*) FROM table_name GROUP BY column_name;
SELECT column_name, SUM(column_name) FROM table_name GROUP BY column_name HAVING condition;

More sections on Joins, Constraints, Transactions, Views, Indexes, and Best Practices included.
