Database Management System (DBMS) – Beginner to Intermediate

Guide

1. Basic Definitions
- Database: An organized collection of data stored electronically.

- DBMS: A software system that enables users to define, create, maintain, and control
access to databases.

- Table: A set of data elements organized using a model of vertical columns and
horizontal rows.

- Primary Key: A unique identifier for a record in a table.

- Foreign Key: A field that links one table to another.

- Query: A request for data or information from a database.

- Schema: The structure that defines the organization of data in a database.

2. Basic SQL Syntax (From CREATE to INNER JOIN)


- CREATE TABLE table_name (column1 datatype, column2 datatype, ...);

- INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2) VALUES (value1, value2);

- SELECT * FROM table_name;

- SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name;

- UPDATE table_name SET column1 = value1 WHERE condition;

- DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;

- ALTER TABLE table_name ADD column_name datatype;

- DROP TABLE table_name;

- SELECT * FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.id = table2.id;

- SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name ASC/DESC;

- SELECT column_name, COUNT(*) FROM table_name GROUP BY column_name;


- SELECT column_name FROM table_name WHERE condition LIMIT number;

- UPDATE table_name SET column_name = value WHERE condition;

- INNER JOIN is used to return rows that have matching values in both tables.

- ON keyword is used in JOINs to specify the matching column.

3. Example SQL Queries


Create a table
CREATE TABLE Students (ID INT PRIMARY KEY, Name VARCHAR(50), Age
INT);

Insert a record
INSERT INTO Students (ID, Name, Age) VALUES (1, 'Ali', 20);

Fetch all records


SELECT * FROM Students;

Update record
UPDATE Students SET Age = 21 WHERE ID = 1;

Delete a record
DELETE FROM Students WHERE ID = 1;

Add a new column


ALTER TABLE Students ADD Email VARCHAR(100);

Inner join two tables


SELECT S.Name, E.Course FROM Students S INNER JOIN Enrollments E ON S.ID =
E.StudentID;
