SQL

SQL is utilized by companies like Amazon to manage customer data, analyze sales trends, and optimize inventory. It ensures data integrity through constraints and transactions while a Database Management System (DBMS) manages data storage and security. Additionally, a database consists of related tables, and SQL queries are structured using components like SELECT, FROM, WHERE, and ORDER BY.

1.

Example Scenario for SQL

A company like Amazon uses SQL to manage and analyze customer data, orders, and inventory. SQL
helps them:

- Track customer orders and preferences

- Analyze sales trends and product performance

- Optimize inventory levels and supply chain management

2. SQL and Data Integrity

SQL contributes to data integrity in a relational database by:

- Enforcing data types and constraints (e.g., primary keys, foreign keys)

- Ensuring data consistency through transactions and locking mechanisms

- Providing data validation and error handling

3. Role of DBMS

A Database Management System (DBMS) plays a crucial role in:

- Managing and storing data in a structured and controlled manner

- Providing a interface for SQL queries and operations

- Ensuring data security, backup, and recovery

4. Database vs. Table

A *database* is a collection of related tables, while a *table* is a specific collection of data organized
into rows and columns.
Analogy: A database is like a filing cabinet, and a table is like a single file folder within the cabinet.

5. Basic Components of an SQL Query

1. *SELECT*: Specifies the columns to retrieve (e.g., `SELECT name, email`).

2. *FROM*: Specifies the table(s) to query (e.g., `FROM customers`).

3. *WHERE*: Filters data based on conditions (e.g., `WHERE country='USA'`).

4. *ORDER BY*: Sorts the result set in ascending or descending order (e.g., `ORDER BY name ASC`).

These clauses work together to retrieve and manipulate data in a relational database.
