MYSQL
It is freely available open source Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that uses Structured Query
Language(SQL). In MySQL database , information is stored in Tables. A single MySQL database can contain many
tables at once and store thousands of individual records.
SQL (Structured Query Language)
SQL is a language that enables you to create and operate on relational databases, which are sets of related
information stored in tables.
A data model refers to a set of concepts to describe the structure of a database, and certain constraints (restrictions)
that the database should obey. The four data model that are used for database management are :
1. Relational data model : In this data model, the data is organized into tables (i.e. rows and columns). These
tables are called relations.
2. Hierarchical data model 3. Network data model 4. Object Oriented data model
7. Candidate Key : All attribute combinations inside a relation that can serve as primary key are candidate keys as
these are candidates for primary key position.
8. Alternate Key : A candidate key that is not primary key, is called an alternate key.
9. Foreign Key : A non-key attribute, whose values are derived from the primary key of some other table, is
known as foreign key in its current table.
REFERENTIAL INTEGRITY
- A referential integrity is a system of rules that a DBMS uses to ensure that relationships between records in
related tables are valid, and that users don’t accidentally delete or change related data. This integrity is
ensured by foreign key.
MySQL ELEMENTS
LITERALS
It refer to a fixed data value. This fixed data value may be of character type or numeric type. For example,
‘replay’ , ‘Raj’, ‘8’ , ‘306’ are all character literals.
Numbers not enclosed in quotation marks are numeric literals. E.g. 22 , 18 , 1997 are all numeric literals.
Numeric literals can either be integer literals i.e., without any decimal or be real literals i.e. with a decimal point
e.g. 17 is an integer literal but 17.0 and 17.5 are real literals.
DATA TYPES
Data types are means to identify the type of data and associated operations for handling it. MySQL data
types are divided into three categories:
Numeric
Date and time
String types
DATABASE COMMNADS
OR
INSERT INTO employee (ECODE , ENAME , GENDER , GRADE , GROSS)
VALUES(1001 , ‘Ravi’ , ‘M’ , ‘E4’ , 50000);
In order to insert another row in EMPLOYEE table , we write again INSERT command :
INSERT INTO employee
VALUES(1002 , ‘Akash’ , ‘M’ , ‘A1’ , 35000);
- To insert value NULL in a specific column, we can type NULL without quotes and NULL will be inserted in that
column. E.g. in order to insert NULL value in ENAME column of above table, we write INSERT command as :
e.g.
In order to retrieve everything from Employee table, we write SELECT command as :
EMPLOYEE
ECODE ENAME GENDER GRADE GROSS
1001 Ravi M E4 50000
1002 Akash M A1 35000
1004 NULL M B2 38965
e.g. to display ECODE, ENAME and GRADE of those employees whose salary is between 40000 and 50000,
command is:
SELECT ECODE , ENAME ,GRADE
FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE GROSS BETWEEN 40000 AND 50000 ;
Output will be :
- The NOT IN operator finds rows that do not match in the list. E.g.
SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE GRADE NOT IN (‘A1’ , ‘A2’);
Output will be :
e.g. to display names of employee whose name starts with R in EMPLOYEE table, the command is :
SELECT ENAME
FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE ENAME LIKE ‘R%’ ;
Output will be :
ENAME
Ravi
Ruby
Output will be :
Output will be :
e.g. to display the details of employees in EMPLOYEE table in alphabetical order, we use command :
SELECT *
FROM EMPLOYEE
ORDER BY ENAME ;
Output will be :
ECODE ENAME GENDER GRADE GROSS
1002 Akash M A1 35000
1004 Neela F B2 38965
1009 Neema F A2 52000
1001 Ravi M E4 50000
1006 Ruby F A1 45000
1005 Sunny M A2 30000
e.g. display list of employee in descending alphabetical order whose salary is greater than 40000.
SELECT ENAME
FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE GROSS > 40000
ORDER BY ENAME desc ;
Output will be :
ENAME
Ravi
Ruby
Neema
e.g. to change the salary of employee of those in EMPLOYEE table having employee code 1009 to 55000.
UPDATE EMPLOYEE
SET GROSS = 55000
WHERE ECODE = 1009 ;
UPDATING MORE THAN ONE COLUMNS
e.g. to update the salary to 58000 and grade to B2 for those employee whose employee code is 1001.
UPDATE EMPLOYEE
SET GROSS = 58000, GRADE=’B2’
WHERE ECODE = 1009 ;
OTHER EXAMPLES
e.g.1. Increase the salary of each employee by 1000 in the EMPLOYEE table.
UPDATE EMPLOYEE
SET GROSS = GROSS +100 ;
e.g.2. Double the salary of employees having grade as ‘A1’ or ‘A2’ .
UPDATE EMPLOYEE
SET GROSS = GROSS * 2 ;
WHERE GRADE=’A1’ OR GRADE=’A2’ ;
e.g.3. Change the grade to ‘A2’ for those employees whose employee code is 1004 and name is Neela.
UPDATE EMPLOYEE
SET GRADE=’A2’
WHERE ECODE=1004 AND GRADE=’NEELA’ ;
So if we do not specify any condition with WHERE clause, then all the rows of the table will be deleted. Thus
above line will delete all rows from employee table.
DROPPING TABLES
The DROP TABLE command lets you drop a table from the database. The syntax of DROP TABLE command is :
DROP TABLE <tablename> ;
e.g. to drop a table employee, we need to write :
DROP TABLE employee ;
Once this command is given, the table name is no longer recognized and no more commands can be given on that table.
After this command is executed, all the data in the table along with table structure will be deleted.
To add a column to a table, ALTER TABLE command can be used as per following syntax:
However if you specify NOT NULL constraint while adding a new column, MySQL adds the new column with the
default value of that datatype e.g. for INT type it will add 0 , for CHAR types, it will add a space, and so on.
e.g. Given a table namely Testt with the following data in it.
Col1 Col2
1 A
2 G
Now following commands are given for the table. Predict the table contents after each of the following statements:
(i) ALTER TABLE testt ADD col3 INT ;
(ii) ALTER TABLE testt ADD col4 INT NOT NULL ;
(iii) ALTER TABLE testt ADD col5 CHAR(3) NOT NULL ;
(iv) ALTER TABLE testt ADD col6 VARCHAR(3);
MODIFYING COLUMNS
Column name and data type of column can be changed as per following syntax :
DELETING COLUMNS
To delete a column from a table, the ALTER TABLE command takes the following form :
TO ADD PRIMARY KEY CONSTRAINT
ALTER TABLE <table name>
ADD PRIMARY KEY (Column name);
e.g. to add PRIMARY KEY constraint on column ECODE of table EMPLOYEE , the command is :
ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEE
ADD PRIMARY KEY (ECODE) ;
TO ADD FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINT
REMOVING CONSTRAINTS
- To remove primary key constraint from a table, we use ALTER TABLE command
as : ALTER TABLE <table name>
DROP PRIMARY KEY ;
- To remove foreign key constraint from a table, we use ALTER TABLE command
as : ALTER TABLE <table name>
DROP FOREIGN KEY ;
ENABLING/DISABLING CONSTRAINTS
Only foreign key can be disabled/enabled in MySQL.
To disable foreign keys : SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 0 ;
To enable foreign keys : SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS = 1 ;
INTEGRITY CONSTRAINTS/CONSTRAINTS
- A constraint is a condition or check applicable on a field(column) or set of fields(columns).
- Common types of constraints include :
Columns SID and Last_Name cannot include NULL, while First_Name can include NULL.
DEFAULT CONSTARINT
The DEFAULT constraint provides a default value to a column when the INSERT INTO statement does not
provide a specific value. E.g.
UNIQUE CONSTRAINT
- The UNIQUE constraint ensures that all values in a column are distinct. In other words, no two rows can
hold the same value for a column with UNIQUE constraint.
e.g.
CREATE TABLE Customer
( SID integer Unique ,
Last_Name varchar(30) ,
First_Name varchar(30) ) ;
Column SID has a unique constraint, and hence cannot include duplicate values. So, if the table already
contains the following rows :
CHECK CONSTRAINT
- The CHECK constraint ensures that all values in a column satisfy certain conditions. Once defined, the table will
only insert a new row or update an existing row if the new value satisfies the CHECK constraint.
e.g.
CREATE TABLE Customer
( SID integer CHECK (SID > 0),
Last_Name varchar(30) ,
First_Name varchar(30) ) ;
will result in an error because the values for SID must be greater than 0.
- You can define a primary key in CREATE TABLE command through keywords PRIMARY KEY. e.g.
Or
CREATE TABLE Customer
( SID integer,
Last_Name varchar(30) ,
First_Name varchar(30),
PRIMARY KEY (SID) ) ;
- The latter way is useful if you want to specify a composite primary key, e.g.
e.g.
Parent Table
TABLE: STUDENT
ROLL_NO NAME CLASS
1 ABC XI Primary key
2 DEF XII
3 XYZ XI Child Table
TABLE: SCORE
ROLL_NO MARKS
1 55
2 83
3 90
Here column Roll_No is a foreign key in table SCORE(Child Table) and it is drawing its values from
Primary key (ROLL_NO) of STUDENT table.(Parent Key).
REFERENCING ACTIONS
Referencing action with ON DELETE clause determines what to do in case of a DELETE occurs in the parent table.
Referencing action with ON UPDATE clause determines what to do in case of a UPDATE occurs in the parent table.
Actions:
1. CASCADE : This action states that if a DELETE or UPDATE operation affects a row from the parent table, then
automatically delete or update the matching rows in the child table i.e., cascade the action to child table.
2. SET NULL : This action states that if a DELETE or UPDATE operation affects a row from the parent table, then
set the foreign key column in the child table to NULL.
3. NO ACTION : Any attempt for DELETE or UPDATE in parent table is not allowed.
4. RESTRICT : This action rejects the DELETE or UPDATE operation for the parent table.
Table : EMPL
1. AVG( )
This function computes the average of given
data. e.g. SELECT AVG(SAL)
FROM EMPL ;
Output
AVG(SAL)
6051.6
2. COUNT( )
This function counts the number of rows in a given column.
If you specify the COLUMN name in parenthesis of function, then this function returns rows where COLUMN
is not null.
If you specify the asterisk (*), this function returns all rows, including duplicates and nulls.
3. MAX( )
This function returns the maximum value from a given column or expression.
5. SUM( )
This function returns the sum of values in given column or expression.
Output
SUM(SAL)
30258
** One thing that you should keep in mind is that while grouping , you should include only those values in the SELECT list
that either have the same value for a group or contain a group(aggregate) function. Like in e.g. 2 given above, DEPTNO
column has one(same) value for a group and the other expression SUM(SAL) contains a group function.
NESTED GROUP
- To create a group within a group i.e., nested group, you need to specify multiple fields in the GROUP BY
expression. e.g. To group records job wise within Deptno wise, you need to issue a query statement like :
DATABASE TRANSACTIONS
TRANSACTION
A Transaction is a logical unit of work that must succeed or fail in its entirety. This statement means that a
transaction may involve many sub steps, which should either all be carried out successfully or all be ignored if
some failure occurs. A Transaction is an atomic operation which may not be divided into smaller operations.
Example of a Transaction
Begin transaction
Get balance from account X
Calculate new balance as X – 1000
Store new balance into database file
Get balance from account Y
Calculate new balance as Y + 1000
Store new balance into database file
End transaction
TRANSACTION PROPERTIES (ACID PROPERTIES)
1. ATOMICITY(All or None Concept) – This property ensures that either all operations of the transaction are
carried out or none are.
2. CONSISTENCY – This property implies that if the database was in a consistent state before the start of
transaction execution, then upon termination of transaction, the database will also be in a consistent state.
3. ISOLATION – This property implies that each transaction is unaware of other transactions executing
concurrently in the system.
4. DURABILITY – This property of a transaction ensures that after the successful completion of a
transaction, the changes made by it to the database persist, even if there are system failures.
A transaction is a unit of work that is performed against a database. Transactions are units
or sequences of work accomplished in a logical order, whether in a manual fashion by a
user or automatically by some sort of a database program.
A transaction is the propagation of one or more changes to the database. For example, if
you are creating a record or updating a record or deleting a record from the table, then
you are performing a transaction on that table. It is important to control these transactions
to ensure the data integrity and to handle database errors.
Practically, you will club many SQL queries into a group and you will execute all of them
together as a part of a transaction.
Properties of Transactions
Transactions have the following four standard properties, usually referred to by the
acronym ACID.
Atomicity: ensures that all operations within the work unit are completed
successfully. Otherwise, the transaction is aborted at the point of failure and all the
previous operations are rolled back to their former state.
Transaction Control
The following commands are used to control transactions.

SQL
COMMIT;
Example
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |

| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
Following is an example which would delete those records from the table which have age
= 25 and then COMMIT the changes in the database.
Thus, two rows from the table would be deleted and the SELECT statement would produce
the following result.
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
Following is an example, which would delete those records from the table which have the
age = 25 and then ROLLBACK the changes in the database.
126
SQL
Thus, the delete operation would not impact the table and the SELECT statement would
produce the following result.

| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
SAVEPOINT SAVEPOINT_NAME;
This command serves only in the creation of a SAVEPOINT among all the transactional
statements. The ROLLBACK command is used to undo a group of transactions.
ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT_NAME;
Following is an example where you plan to delete the three different records from the
CUSTOMERS table. You want to create a SAVEPOINT before each delete, so that you can
ROLLBACK to any SAVEPOINT at any time to return the appropriate data to its original
state.
Example
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records.
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
127
SQL
Now that the three deletions have taken place, let us assume that you have changed your
mind and decided to ROLLBACK to the SAVEPOINT that you identified as SP2. Because
SP2 was created after the first deletion, the last two deletions are undone:
Notice that only the first deletion took place since you rolled back to SP2.

6 rows selected.
Once a SAVEPOINT has been released, you can no longer use the ROLLBACK command to
undo transactions performed since the last SAVEPOINT.

SQL Sub Queries
A Subquery or Inner query or Nested query is a query within another SQL query and embedded within
A subquery is used to return data that will be used in the main query as a condition to further restrict the data to
be retrieved.
Subqueries can be used with the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements along with the operators
like =, <, >, >=, <=, IN, BETWEEN etc.
A subquery can have only one column in the SELECT clause, unless multiple columns are in the main query
for the subquery to compare its selected columns.
An ORDER BY cannot be used in a subquery, although the main query can use an ORDER BY. The GROUP
BY can be used to perform the same function as the ORDER BY in a subquery.
Subqueries that return more than one row can only be used with multiple value operators, such as the IN
operator.
The SELECT list cannot include any references to values that evaluate to a BLOB, ARRAY, CLOB, or
NCLOB.
The BETWEEN operator cannot be used with a subquery; however, the BETWEEN operator can be used
within the subquery.

SQL - Using Views
A view is nothing more than a SQL statement that is stored in the database with an associated name. A
A view can contain all rows of a table or select rows from a table. A view can be created from one or many tables
which depends on the written SQL query to create a view.
Views, which are kind of virtual tables, allow users to do the following:
Structure data in a way that users or classes of users find natural or intuitive.
Restrict access to the data such that a user can see and (sometimes) modify exactly what they need and no
more.
Summarize data from various tables which can be used to generate reports.
Creating Views:
Database views are created using the CREATE VIEW statement. Views can be created from a single table,
multiple tables, or another view.
To create a view, a user must have the appropriate system privilege according to the specific implementation.
You can include multiple tables in your SELECT statement in very similar way as you use them in normal SQL
SELECT query.
Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
TUTORIALS POINT
Simply Easy Learning
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
Now, following is the example to create a view from CUSTOMERS table. This view would be used to have
customer name and age from CUSTOMERS table:
Now, you can query CUSTOMERS_VIEW in similar way as you query an actual table. Following is the example:
+----------+-----+
| name | age |
+----------+-----+
| Ramesh | 32 |
| Khilan | 25 |
| kaushik | 23 |
| Chaitali | 25 |
| Hardik | 27 |
| Komal | 22 |
| Muffy | 24 |
+----------+-----+
If they do not satisfy the condition(s), the UPDATE or INSERT returns an error.
The following is an example of creating same view CUSTOMERS_VIEW with the WITH CHECK OPTION:
The WITH CHECK OPTION in this case should deny the entry of any NULL values in the view's AGE column,
because the view is defined by data that does not have a NULL value in the AGE column.
Updating a View:
A view can be updated under certain conditions:
TUTORIALS POINT
Simply Easy Learning
The SELECT clause may not contain the keyword DISTINCT.
All NOT NULL columns from the base table must be included in the view in order for the INSERT query to
function.
So if a view satisfies all the abovementioned rules then you can update a view. Following is an example to update
the age of Ramesh:
This would ultimately update the base table CUSTOMERS and same would reflect in the view itself. Now, try to
query base table, and SELECT statement would produce the following result:
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 35 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
Here, we can not insert rows in CUSTOMERS_VIEW because we have not included all the NOT NULL columns in
this view, otherwise you can insert rows in a view in similar way as you insert them in a table.
TUTORIALS POINT
Simply Easy Learning
Deleting Rows into a View:
Rows of data can be deleted from a view. The same rules that apply to the UPDATE and INSERT commands
apply to the DELETE command.
This would ultimately delete a row from the base table CUSTOMERS and same would reflect in the view itself.
Now, try to query base table, and SELECT statement would produce the following result:
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 35 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |

| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
Dropping Views:
Obviously, where you have a view, you need a way to drop the view if it is no longer needed. The syntax is very

SQL Joins
T he SQL Joins clause is used to combine records from two or more tables in a database. A JOIN is a
means for combining fields from two tables by using values common to each.
Consider the following two tables, (a) CUSTOMERS table is as follows:
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |

Here, it is noticeable that the join is performed in the WHERE clause. Several operators can be used to join tables,
such as =, <, >, <>, <=, >=, !=, BETWEEN, LIKE, and NOT; they can all be used to join tables. However, the most
common operator is the equal symbol.
INNER JOIN
The most frequently used and important of the joins is the INNER JOIN. They are also referred to as an
EQUIJOIN.
The INNER JOIN creates a new result table by combining column values of two tables (table1 and table2) based
upon the join-predicate. The query compares each row of table1 with each row of table2 to find all pairs of rows
which satisfy the join-predicate. When the join-predicate is satisfied, column values for each matched pair of rows
of A and B are combined into a result row.
Syntax:
The basic syntax of INNER JOIN is as follows:
Example:
Consider the following two tables, (a) CUSTOMERS table is as follows:
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |

LEFT JOIN
The SQL LEFT JOIN returns all rows from the left table, even if there are no matches in the right table. This means
that if the ON clause matches 0 (zero) records in right table, the join will still return a row in the result, but with
NULL in each column from right table.
This means that a left join returns all the values from the left table, plus matched values from the right table or
NULL in case of no matching join predicate.
Syntax:
The basic syntax of LEFT JOIN is as follows:
Here given condition could be any given expression based on your requirement.
Example:

SELF JOIN
The SQL SELF JOIN is used to join a table to itself as if the table were two tables, temporarily renaming at least
one table in the SQL statement.
Syntax:
The basic syntax of SELF JOIN is as follows:
SELECT a.column_name, b.column_name...
FROM table1 a, table1 b
WHERE a.common_filed = b.common_field;
Here, WHERE clause could be any given expression based on your requirement.

CARTESIAN JOIN
The CARTESIAN JOIN or CROSS JOIN returns the cartesian product of the sets of records from the two or more
joined tables. Thus, it equates to an inner join where the join-condition always evaluates to True or where the join-
condition is absent from the statement.

The basic syntax of INNER JOIN is as follows:
