MySQL

Introduction to MySQL

MySQL is a popular open-source relational database management system


(RDBMS). It's widely used for storing, managing, and accessing data in various
applications.

1. Relational Database

●​ Data is organized into tables containing rows and columns.


●​ Each table represents a specific entity or concept (e.g., customers, products,
orders).
●​ Rows represent individual records within a table (e.g., a customer record).
●​ Columns represent attributes or properties of those records (e.g., customer
name, email).

2. Data Types

●​ MySQL supports various data types to store different kinds of data (e.g.,
integers, strings, dates, decimals).
●​ Choosing the appropriate data type helps optimize storage and ensures data
integrity.

3. SQL (Structured Query Language)

●​ SQL is a standard language for interacting with relational databases.


●​ You can use SQL to perform various operations on your data:
○​ Create, alter, and drop tables
○​ Insert, update, and delete data
○​ Retrieve data using SELECT statements with WHERE clauses for
filtering
○​ Join tables based on relationships

4. Key Concepts

●​ Primary Key: A unique identifier for each row within a table (usually an
auto-incrementing integer).
●​ Foreign Key: Creates a link between two tables, enforcing data integrity.
●​ Indexes: Speed up data retrieval by creating an index on frequently used
columns.

5. Benefits of Using MySQL

●​ Open-source and Free: Freely available to use and modify.


●​ Cross-Platform: Runs on various operating systems (Windows, Linux,
macOS).
●​ Scalability: Can handle small to large databases efficiently.
●​ Reliability: Offers robust features for data security and integrity.

Data Types

1. Numeric Data Types:

INT: Stores whole numbers (positive, negative, or zero) of varying sizes depending
on the specific implementation (often 32-bit integers).

SMALLINT: Stores smaller whole numbers, typically using less storage space than
INT.

BIGINT: Stores very large whole numbers.

DECIMAL: Stores numbers with decimal precision for accurate calculations involving
money or other precise measurements.

FLOAT: Stores approximate floating-point numbers for representing real numbers.


DOUBLE: Similar to FLOAT but offers higher precision for decimal numbers.

2. Character and String Data Types:

CHAR: Stores fixed-length character strings. Each character uses a predefined


amount of space regardless of the actual characters used.

VARCHAR: Stores variable-length character strings. This is more space-efficient for


storing text of varying lengths.

TEXT: Stores large amounts of text data (often used for long descriptions or content).

3. Date and Time Data Types:

DATE: Stores date information (year, month, day).

TIME: Stores time information (hours, minutes, seconds).

DATETIME: Stores both date and time information in a single column.

TIMESTAMP: Similar to DATETIME but often used with automatic timestamp


generation on updates.

4. Boolean Data Type:

BOOLEAN: Stores true or false values.

5. Binary Data Types:

BLOB (Binary Large OBject): Stores large binary data (e.g., images, audio, files).

VARBINARY: Stores variable-length binary data.

6. Other Data Types:

ENUM: Allows selecting a value from a predefined set of options.


STATEMENTS
SELECT:
You can select a single or multiple columns
You can use alias, AS
To get unique results, use DISTINCT
​ SELECT DISTINCT state FROM customers
CREATE
INSERT INTO
WHERE clause:
​ SELECT * FROM customer WHERE id = 3
​ SQL Operators: >, >=, <, <=, =, !=, <>
​ Isn’t case sensitive to specify order
AND, OR, NOT:
​ AND has higher preceedence. Use parenthesis
IN : Is a short form for using multiple ORs operator
​ SELECt * FROM customers WHERE state IN (‘VA’, ‘FL’, ‘GA’)
SELECt * FROM customers WHERE state NOT IN (‘VA’, ‘FL’, ‘GA’)
​

BETWEEN : compares value within a range


​ SELECT * FROM customers WHERE points BETWEEN 1000 AND 3000
LIKE : find strings that matches a pattern
​ SELECT * FROM customer WHERE last_name LIKE ‘b%’
​ Not case sensitive
Using REGEXP:
SELECT * FROM customer WHERE last_name REGEXP ‘ay’
SELECT * FROM customer WHERE last_name REGEXP ‘^ay’ — last name
must start with ay
SELECT * FROM customer WHERE last_name REGEXP ‘ay$’ – last name
must end with ay
SELECT * FROM customer WHERE last_name REGEXP ‘ay | ade | olu’ —
multiple conditions
SELECT * FROM customer WHERE last_name REGEXP ‘[st]de’ — returns
last name that has either s or t before d anywhere in the last name

^ beginning
$ end
| logical or
[abcd]e —any coming before e
​
IS NULL: SELECT * FROM customer WHERE phone IS NULL
SORTING
ORDER BY first_name DESC
LIMIT :
​ SELECT * FROM customer LIMIT 10
Should always come at the end
Offset
SELECT * FROM customer LIMIT 3 10 —- offset is 3, then selects 10 records

Creating a Table
CREATE TABLE ‘clients’ (
‘Client_id’ int(11) NOT NULL,
‘Name’ varchar(50) NOT NULL,
‘Address’ varchar(50) NOT NULL,
‘Phone’ varch(20) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (‘client_id’)
)

Put values in a Table


INSERT INTO ‘clients’ VALUES (1, ‘Doe’, “kentucky”, “343434334”)

NOTE:The order of clauses are important
