SQL BASICS: INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE (Columns & Rows)

1. INSERTING DATA

A. Add a New Column:


----------------------------------------
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name data_type;

Example:
ALTER TABLE Students
ADD Phone VARCHAR(15);

B. Insert a New Row:


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

Example:
INSERT INTO Students (ID, Name, Age)
VALUES (1, 'Anil Kumar', 21);

2. DELETING DATA

A. Delete a Column:
----------------------------------------
ALTER TABLE table_name
DROP COLUMN column_name;

Example:
ALTER TABLE Students
DROP COLUMN Phone;

B. Delete a Row:
----------------------------------------
DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

Example:
DELETE FROM Students
WHERE ID = 1;

3. UPDATING DATA

A. Update a Column's Value for Specific Row(s):


----------------------------------------
UPDATE table_name
SET column_name = new_value
WHERE condition;

Example:
UPDATE Students
SET Name = 'Anil Sharma'
WHERE ID = 1;

B. Update Multiple Columns at Once:


----------------------------------------
UPDATE table_name
SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2
WHERE condition;
Example:
UPDATE Students
SET Name = 'Ravi Kumar', Age = 23
WHERE ID = 2;

C. Set a Column to NULL Based on Condition (Clear Value):


----------------------------------------
UPDATE Students
SET Name = NULL
WHERE Age < 25;

D. Update All Rows (Use with caution!):


----------------------------------------
UPDATE Students
SET Age = Age + 1;
