MYSQL
• is a relational database management system
(RDBMS)that runs as a server providing multi-user
access to a number of databases.
• It is named after developer Michael Widenius '
daughter, My
• The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query
Language.
• It is free: open source software
USES OF MYSQL
• MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in
web applications, and is a central component of the
widely-used LAMP,WAMP,XAMMP web application
software stack.
WHAT IS SQL?
• Pronounced “S-Q-L” by some and “sequel” by others.
• SQL stands for Structured Query Language.
• SQL is a standard language for accessing and
manipulating databases.
• SQL is an ANSI (American National Standards
Institute) standard
WHAT SQL CAN DO?
• SQL can execute queries against a database
• SQL can retrieve data from a database
• SQL can insert records in a database
• SQL can update records in a database
• SQL can delete records from a database
• SQL can create new databases
• SQL can create new tables in a database
• SQL can create stored procedures in a database
• SQL can create views in a database
• SQL can set permissions on tables, procedures, and views
SQL IS A STANDARD – BUT...
• Although SQL is an ANSI (American National
Standards Institute) standard, there are different
versions of the SQL language.
• However, to be compliant with the ANSI standard,
they all support at least the major commands (such
as SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT, WHERE) in a
similar manner.
THE SQL ENVIRONMENT
1. CATALOG
2. SCHEMA
3. DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE(DDL)
4. DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE(DML)
5. DATA CONTROL LANGUAGE(DCL)
CATALOG
• Consists of a set of tables and views which describe
tables, views, indexes, packages, procedures,
functions, files, sequences, triggers, and constraints.
• A catalog is automatically created when you create a
schema. You cannot drop or explicitly change the
catalog.
SCHEMA
• Consists of a library, a journal, a journal receiver, an
SQL catalog, and optionally a data dictionary. A
schema groups related objects and allows you to find
the objects by name.
DATA DEFINITION LANGUAGE
• Statements are used to define the database
structure or schema. Some examples:
▫ CREATE - to create objects in the database
▫ ALTER - alters the structure of the database
▫ DROP - delete objects from the database
DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE
• Statements are used for managing data within
schema objects. Some examples:
▫ SELECT - retrieve data from the a database
▫ INSERT - insert data into a table
▫ UPDATE - updates existing data within a table
▫ DELETE - deletes all records from a table, the space
for the records remain.
DATA CONTROL LANGUAGE
• Statements are used for giving a user access
privileges. Some examples:
▫ GRANT - gives user's access privileges to database
▫ REVOKE - withdraw access privileges given with
the GRANT command
