Oracle SQL Practical File

This practical file contains important SQL concepts and queries required for database management
using Oracle. It includes Views, Sequences, Indexes, DDL & DML commands, Operators, Clauses,
Functions, and essential SQL programs.

1. Views

A view is a virtual table based on the result of a SQL query. It does not store data physically but
provides a way to represent data from one or more tables.
Syntax:
CREATE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name WHERE condition;
Example:
CREATE VIEW EmployeeView AS
SELECT name, salary FROM Employees WHERE salary > 50000;

2. Sequences

A sequence is a database object used to generate unique numerical values, commonly used for
primary keys.
Syntax:
CREATE SEQUENCE sequence_name
START WITH start_value
INCREMENT BY increment_value;
Example:
CREATE SEQUENCE Emp_Seq START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1;

3. Indexes

An index is used to speed up data retrieval operations in a database.


Syntax:
CREATE INDEX index_name ON table_name (column_name);
Example:
CREATE INDEX idx_emp_name ON Employees (name);
4. Triggers

A trigger is a stored procedure that executes automatically when a specified event occurs.
Syntax:
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_name
BEFORE|AFTER INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE ON table_name FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
-- SQL statements
END;
Example:
CREATE TRIGGER BeforeInsertEmployee
BEFORE INSERT ON Employees
FOR EACH ROW BEGIN
INSERT INTO Logs (action, timestamp) VALUES ('Insert', SYSDATE);
END;

5. Cursors

A cursor is a pointer used to retrieve data row-by-row from a result set.


Syntax:
DECLARE cursor_name CURSOR FOR SELECT statement;
OPEN cursor_name;
FETCH cursor_name INTO variable;
CLOSE cursor_name;
Example:
DECLARE EmpCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT name, salary FROM Employees;
OPEN EmpCursor;
FETCH EmpCursor INTO empName, empSalary;
CLOSE EmpCursor;
