The document explains the process of creating and managing a college database using SQL and CRUD operations, which stand for create, read, update, and delete. It outlines the different SQL sublanguages, including DDL for defining data structures, DML for manipulating data, DQL for querying data, and DCL for controlling access to the database. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding these operations and commands to effectively manage a database.

Imagine that you've just been hired

to create a database for college. First, you need to create tables to


hold data in all aspects of the college. Then you need to insert
data into these tables and then modify this data
whenever something changes. That's a lot of work. But it's all possible with the
use
of SQL and crowed operations. Not familiar with these operations,
no problem. Over the next few minutes, you learn how
to explain the tasks that SQL syntax is used for when building a database, and
demonstrate an understanding of
the SQL subsets and sub languages. So let's return to our
college database scenario. How can you possibly make all
these changes in the database? Well, with the help of what web
developers CRUD operations. Performing CRUD operations is
the most common task when working with the database. CRUD stands for
create read update and delete. Or in operational terms, create,
add or insert data, read data, update existing data and
delete data alongside these operations. There are many other
things that SQL can do. Depending on what SQL is used for. It can be divided into
many subsections or
sub languages. These include DDL or
data definition language. DML also known as data
manipulation language. DQL or data query language. And DCL also called data control
language. Let's take a closer look
at these languages and their commands starting with
data definition language or DDL. DDL as the name says helps you
define data in your database. But what does it mean to define data? Before you can
store data in the database. You need to create the database and related objects
like tables in
which your data will be stored. For this, the DDL part of SQL
has a command named create. Then you might need to modify
already created database objects. For example, you might need to modify the
structure
of a table by adding a new column. You can perform this task
with the DDL alter command. You can remove an object like a table from
a database using the DDL drop command. Data manipulation language or DML
commands are used to manipulate data in the database, like inserting updating or
deleting data. Most crude operations fall under DML. To add data to a table,
you can use the insert command. This command lets you specify the fields
to add data too along with the values to be inserted. If you need to edit data
that's
already inserted into a table, just deploy the update command. And you can specify
data to be
removed by using the delete command. So far, you've learned how to add database
objects and manage data within them. So how do you read or retrieve that data? To
read data stored in a database,
you can use data query language. DQL defines a select command
to be able to retrieve data. Select lets you retrieve data from one or
multiple tables letting you specify the data fields that you want based
on preferred filter criteria. And finally, you can also use DCL or data control
language to
control access to the database. For example, using DCL commands, you control access
to data
stored in the database. Grant and revoke DDL commands are used
to give users access privileges to data, and to revert access privileges
already given to users. You should now be familiar with how
SQL acts as the interface between the database and its users, and you should also
be able to identify
SQL operations and sub languages. Great work.
