Creating and populating tables.

1. Write the SQL command to create a table Employee with fields: EmpID (integer,
primary key), Name (varchar(30)), and Salary (float).

Answer:

CREATE TABLE Employee (


EmpID INT PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(30),
Salary FLOAT );

2. Write an SQL command to insert the following record into the Employee table: EmpID
= 101, Name = 'Ravi', Salary = 45000.
Answer:

INSERT INTO Employee (EmpID, Name, Salary)


VALUES (101, 'Ravi', 45000);

3. Write an SQL command to create a table Library with fields: BookID (integer, primary
key), Title (varchar(50)), Author (varchar(30)), and Price (float).

Answer:

CREATE TABLE Library (

BookID INT PRIMARY KEY,

Title VARCHAR(50),

Author VARCHAR(30),

Price FLOAT );

4. What is the use of the DEFAULT constraint? Give an example while creating a table.

Answer:
The DEFAULT constraint provides a default value for a column when no value is specified.

Example:

CREATE TABLE Student (

RollNo INT PRIMARY KEY,

Name VARCHAR(30),

City VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'Delhi' );

5. Write an SQL command to insert multiple rows into a Department table with fields:
DeptID, DeptName.

Answer:
INSERT INTO Department (DeptID, DeptName)

VALUES

(1, 'HR'),

(2, 'Finance'),

(3, 'IT');

6. What is the use of the NOT NULL constraint? Write an example.

Answer:
NOT NULL ensures that a column cannot have a NULL value.

Example:

CREATE TABLE Product (

ProductID INT PRIMARY KEY,

Name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,

Price FLOAT

);

7. Write SQL commands to create and populate a Courses table with columns CourseID,
CourseName, and Duration.

Answer:

CREATE TABLE Courses (

CourseID INT PRIMARY KEY,

CourseName VARCHAR(50),

Duration INT

);

INSERT INTO Courses (CourseID, CourseName, Duration)

VALUES (1, 'Python Programming', 3);

8. Create a table Marks with fields: StudentID, Subject, Marks, where StudentID and
Subject together form a composite primary key.

Answer:

CREATE TABLE Marks (


StudentID INT,
Subject VARCHAR(30),
Marks INT,
PRIMARY KEY (StudentID, Subject));

9. Explain the significance of data types while creating a table.

Answer:
Data types define the kind of data a column can hold (e.g., INT, VARCHAR, DATE). They
ensure data consistency, optimize storage, and help maintain data integrity.

10. Create a table Orders with fields: OrderID (integer, primary key), CustomerName
(varchar(50)), and OrderDate (DATE).

Answer:

CREATE TABLE Orders (


OrderID INT PRIMARY KEY,
CustomerName VARCHAR(50),
OrderDate DATE );
