DBMS: Dynamic SQL

Akhilesh Arya
Static VS Dynamic SQL
• Static SQL refers to those SQL statements which
are fixed and can be hard coded into the
application.
• Dynamic SQL refers to those SQL statements
which are generated dynamically based on
user's input and run in the application
• Dynamic Sqls helps to develop general and
flexible applications
Cont..
• Dynamic SQL is the process that we follow for
programming SQL queries in such a way that the
queries are built dynamically with the application
operations.
• With dynamic SQL we are free to create flexible SQL
queries and the names of the variables or any other
parameters are passed when the application runs.
Cont..
• It helps us to manage big industrial
applications and manage the transactions
without any added overhead.
• For Dynamic SQL, we use the exec or
execute keyword.
# Start by declaring the Query variable and other required variables
DECLARE @SQL nvarchar(1000)
DECLARE @variable1 varchar(50)
DECLARE @variable2 varchar(50)

# Set the values of the declared variables if required


SET @variable1 = 'A'

# Define the query variable


SET @SQL = 'SELECT columnName1, columnName2, columnName3...
FROM tableName where columnName1 = @variable1

# Prepare the statement to be run on the database


PREPARE Query FROM @SQL;

# Execute the prepared Dynamic SQL statement


Execute Query;
Use TestDatabase; #Database
# Create Variables
Declare @Table varchar(100);
Declare @ColList varchar(100);
Declare @Query varchar(100);
# set the vales of the variables
Set @Table =‘empHr’;
Set @ColList=‘empID, empName, salary, joinYear’;
Set @Query=CONCAT(‘select’, @ColList, ‘from’, @Table)
EXEC(@Query)

Active Database
• An active Database is a database consisting of a set
of triggers.
• These databases are very difficult to be
maintained because of the complexity that arises
in understanding the effect of these triggers.
• In such a database, DBMS initially verifies
whether the particular trigger specified in the
statement that modifies the database) is activated
or not, prior to executing the statement.
• If the trigger is active then
DBMS executes the
condition part and then
executes the action part
only if the specified
condition is evaluated to
true.
Advantages of Active database
• It Enhances traditional database functionalities
with powerful rule processing capabilities.
• Enable a uniform and centralized description of
the business rules relevant to the information
system.
• Avoids redundancy of checking and repair
operations.
• A suitable platform for building a large and
efficient knowledge base and expert systems.
