SQL
• Structured Query Language (SQL). Also referred to as
“SEQUEL”
• SQL is a programming language used to interact with
Relational Database Management System.
• SQL is primarily used in RDBMS.
• All major RDBMS like Oracle, MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL
etc use SQL.
• Using SQL, you can:
 Read data from a RDBMS
 Write data into a RDBMS
 Create, modify or delete database
 Analyze data
 Build reports
How • In RDBMS, data is stored in
data is multiple tables.

stored in • Each table can have a set of


rows and columns.
RDBMS • Different tables will be related to
each other through certain
columns forming relationship
between these tables.
Sample RDBMS table data

DDL
Comman • Data Definition Language
• Used to define the structure of a
ds database object such as Table, Views,
Procedure, Function etc.
• Commands include:
 CREATE
 ALTER
 DROP
 TRUNCATE
Data Types:
• INT
• VARCHAR
• DATE
• FLOAT
• BOOLEAN
Constrai
nts
• CHECK constraint allows you to control the values that can be inserted into a
column.
• By applying NOT NULL constraint on a column, you make sure that this column
will never have NULL values.
• UNIQUE constraint makes sure that the values in your column are always
unique. It can have NULL values.
• A table can only have one PRIMARY KEY constraint. Primary key constraint can
either be applied to a single column or to a combination of different columns. If a
column (or if a combination of multiple columns) is defined as a primary key,
then this column/columns will always have unique values across all the rows of
that table. Also, primary key column cannot have null values hence primary key
can be treated as a combination of UNIQUE and NOT NULL constraints.
• FOREIGN KEY constraint can be used to form relation between tables. It
basically helps to create a master child relation between 2 tables.
DML
Comman • Data Manipulation Language
• DML commands are used to load,
ds modify and remove data from the
database.
• Commands include:
 INSERT
 UPDATE
 DELETE
 MERGE
TCL
Comman
ds • Transaction Control Language

database session
DCL
Comman
ds • Data Control Language
• Includes GRANT and REVOKE statements.
• Used to provide or remove permission on a
database object to a database user.
DQL • Data Query Language
• Includes only the SELECT statement

comman • Can be used to read data from one or multiple


tables.

ds • Contains following clauses:


 SELECT – list of columns
 FROM – list of tables
 WHERE – filter conditions and join conditions
• Can also include following clauses:
 GROUP BY – Grouping of data based on
specified column(s)
 HAVING – Filter condition for the grouped data
