  1. Lecture 2 Intro to SQL

  2. Outline • SQL Data Definition and Data Types • Specifying Constraints in SQL Lecture Resources • Jeffrey A. Hoffer, Modern Database Management- Ch6 • Ramez El masri, Fundamentals Of Database Systems- Ch4

  3. Basic SQL • SQL language • Considered one of the major reasons for the commercial success of relational databases • SQL • Structured Query Language - was called SEQUEL • Statements for data definitions, queries, and updates (both DDL and DML) • divided into a core specification plus specialized extensions. • The core is supposed to be implemented by all RDBMS vendors that are SQL compliant. • The extensions can be implemented as optional modules to be purchased independently for specific database applications as data mining, spatial data, temporal data, data warehousing, online analytical processing(OLAP), multimedia data.

  4. SQL Data Definition and Data Types • Terminology: • Table, row, and column used for relational model terms relation, tuple, and attribute • CREATE statement • Main SQL command for data definition

  5. Schema and Catalog Concepts in SQL • SQL schema • Incorporated to group tables and other constructs that belong to the same database application together. • Identified by a schema name • Includes an authorization identifier and descriptors for each element • Schema elements include • Tables, constraints, views, domains, and other constructs • CREATE SCHEMA statement: Create Schema Company Authorization ‘Jsmith’ ; • Each statement in SQL ends with a semicolon

  6. Schema and Catalog Concepts in SQL • Catalog • Named collection of schemas in an SQL environment • SQL environment • Installation of an SQL-compliant RDBMS on a computer system • A catalog always contains a special schema called INFORMATION_SCHEMA, which provides information on all the schemas in the catalog and all the element descriptors in these schemas.

  7. USERA USERB SELECT * FROM userB.employees; SELECT * FROM userA.employees; Referencing Another User’s Tables • Tables belonging to other users are not in the user’s schema. • You should use the owner’s name as a prefix to those tables.

  8. SQL Statements Data retrieval SELECT INSERT UPDATE DELETE MERGE CREATE ALTER DROP RENAME TRUNCATE COMMIT ROLLBACK SAVEPOINT GRANT REVOKE Data manipulation language (DML) Data definition language (DDL) Transaction control Data control language (DCL)

  9. Popular Create Command

  10. Data Definition Language (DDL)CREATE TABLE Command • Specify a new relation • Provide name • Specify attributes and initial constraints • Can optionally specify schema: • Create Table Company.Employee... or • Create Table Employee ... • Base tables (base relations) • Relation and its tuples are actually created and stored as a file by the DBMS • Virtual relations : Created through the CREATE VIEW statement CREATE TABLE [schema.]table (columndatatype [DEFAULT expr][, ...]);

  11. Create table Statement

  12. Naming Rules • Table names and column names: • Must begin with a letter • Must be 1–30 characters long • Must contain only A–Z, a–z, 0–9, _, $, and # • Must not duplicate the name of another object owned by the same user • Must not be an Oracle server reserved word

  13. Create table StatementBasicData Types

  14. Basic Data Types in SQL • Numeric data types • Integer numbers: INTEGER, INT, and SMALLINT • Floating-point (real) numbers: FLOAT or REAL, and DOUBLE PRECISION • Character-string data types • Fixed length: CHAR(n), CHARACTER(n) • Varying length: VARCHAR(n), CHAR VARYING(n), CHARACTER VARYING(n) • Boolean data type • Values of TRUE or FALSE or NULL • DATE data type • Ten positions , YEAR, MONTH, and DAY in the form YYYY-MM-DD • Additional data types Timestamp data type (TIMESTAMP) • Includes the DATE and TIME fields Plus a minimum of six positions for decimal fractions of seconds

  15. Create table StatementExample

  16. Attribute Data Types and Domains • Domain • Name used with the attribute specification • Makes it easier to change the data type for a domain that is used by numerous attributes • Improves schema readability • Example: Create Domain Ssn_type As Char(9); • We can use SSN_TYPEin place of CHAR(9) in last example for the attributes: • Ssnand Super_ssn of EMPLOYEE, • Mgr_ssn of DEPARTMENT, • Essn of WORKS_ON, • Essn of DEPENDENT.

  17. Constraint Guidelines • You can name a constraint, or the Oracle server generates a name by using the SYS_Cnformat. • Create a constraint at either of the following times: • At the same time as the table is created • After the table has been created • Define a constraint at the column or table level. • View a constraint in the data dictionary.

  18. Constraints in DDL • Basic constraints: • Key and referential integrity constraints • Constraints prevent the deletion of a table if there are dependencies • Restrictions on attributedomains and NULLs • Constraints on individual tuples within a relation • The following constraint types are examples : • NOT NULL • UNIQUE • PRIMARY KEY • FOREIGN KEY • CHECK

  19. Defining Constraints CREATE TABLE [schema.]table (columndatatype[DEFAULT expr] [column_constraint], ... [table_constraint][,...]); • Syntax: • Column-level constraint: • Table-level constraint: column[CONSTRAINT constraint_name] constraint_type, column,... [CONSTRAINTconstraint_name] constraint_type (column, ...),

  20. Defining Constraints • Column-level constraint: • Table-level constraint: CREATE TABLE employees( employee_id NUMBER(6) CONSTRAINT emp_emp_id_pk PRIMARY KEY, first_name VARCHAR2(20), ...); 1 CREATE TABLE employees( employee_id NUMBER(6), first_name VARCHAR2(20), ... job_id VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT emp_emp_id_pk PRIMARY KEY (EMPLOYEE_ID)); 2

  21. 1. Attribute Constraints • Not Null • NULL is not permitted for a particular attribute • Default value • DEFAULT <value> • CHECK clause • Dnumber INT NOT NULL CHECK (Dnumber > 0 AND Dnumber < 21);

  22. NOT NULL Constraint • Ensures that null values are not permitted for the column: … NOT NULL constraint (No row can containa null value forthis column.) NOT NULL constraint Absence of NOT NULL constraint (Any row can contain a null value for this column.)

  23. Giving Names to Constraints • Keyword CONSTRAINT • Name a constraint • Useful for later altering

  24. 2. Constraints on Tuples Using CHECK • CHECK clauses at the end of a CREATE TABLE statement • Apply to each tuple individually CHECK (Dept_create_date <= Mgr_start_date);

  25. 3. Key Referential Integrity Constraints • PRIMARY KEY clause • Specifies one or more attributes that make up the primary key of a relation • Dnumber INT PRIMARY KEY; • UNIQUE clause • Specifies alternate (secondary) keys • Dname VARCHAR(15) UNIQUE;

  26. UNIQUE Constraint UNIQUE constraint EMPLOYEES … INSERT INTO Allowed Not allowed: already exists

  27. UNIQUE Constraint • Defined at either the table level or the column level: CREATETABLE employees( employee_id NUMBER(6), last_name VARCHAR2(25) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR2(25), salary NUMBER(8,2), commission_pct NUMBER(2,2), hire_date DATE NOT NULL, ... CONSTRAINT emp_email_ukUNIQUE(email));

  28. PRIMARY KEY Constraint DEPARTMENTS PRIMARY KEY … Not allowed (null value) INSERT INTO Not allowed (50 already exists)

  29. Defining PK Constraints • Column-level constraint: • Table-level constraint: CREATE TABLE employees( employee_id NUMBER(6) CONSTRAINT emp_emp_id_pk PRIMARY KEY, first_name VARCHAR2(20), ...); 1 CREATE TABLE employees( employee_id NUMBER(6), first_name VARCHAR2(20), ... job_id VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT emp_emp_id_pk PRIMARY KEY (EMPLOYEE_ID)); 2

  30. 3. Key Referential Integrity Constraints • FOREIGNKEY clause • Default operation: reject update on violation • Attach referential triggered action clause • Options include SET NULL, CASCADE, and SET DEFAULT • Action taken by the DBMS for SET NULL or SET DEFAULT is the same for both ON DELETE and ON UPDATE • CASCADE option suitable for “relationship” relations • Some foreign keys may cause errors • Specified either via: • Circular references • Or because they refer to a table that has not yet been created

  31. FOREIGN KEY Constraint DEPARTMENTS PRIMARYKEY … EMPLOYEES FOREIGNKEY … Not allowed(9 does not exist) INSERT INTO Allowed

  32. FOREIGN KEY Constraint • Defined at either the table level or the column level: CREATE TABLE employees( employee_id NUMBER(6), last_name VARCHAR2(25) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR2(25), salary NUMBER(8,2), commission_pct NUMBER(2,2), hire_date DATE NOT NULL, ... department_id NUMBER(4), CONSTRAINT emp_dept_fk FOREIGN KEY (department_id) REFERENCES departments(department_id), CONSTRAINT emp_email_uk UNIQUE(email));

  33. FOREIGN KEY Constraint:Keywords • FOREIGN KEY: Defines the column in the child table at the table-constraint level • REFERENCES: Identifies the table and column in the parent table • ON DELETE CASCADE: Deletes the dependent rows in the child table when a row in the parent table is deleted • ON DELETE SET NULL: Converts dependent foreign key values to null • ON UPDATE CASCADE option. Update the dependent rows in the child table when a row in the parent table is updated. • ON UPDATE SET NULL : result in losing the connection between the order and the customer, which is not a desired effect

  34. FOREIGN KEY Constraint:Keywords

  35. Violating Constraints • Department 55 does not exist. UPDATE employees SET department_id = 55 WHERE department_id = 110; UPDATE employees * ERROR at line 1: ORA-02291: integrity constraint (HR.EMP_DEPT_FK) violated - parent key not found

  36. Violating Constraints • You cannot delete a row that contains a primary key that is used as a foreign key in another table. DELETE FROM departments WHERE department_id = 60; DELETE FROM departments * ERROR at line 1: ORA-02292: integrity constraint (HR.EMP_DEPT_FK) violated - child record found

  37. Creating a Tableby Using a Sub query • Create a table and insert rows by combining the CREATE TABLE statement and the ASsub query option. • Match the number of specified columns to the number of sub query columns. • Define columns with column names and default values. CREATE TABLE table [(column, column...)] AS subquery;

  38. Creating a Tableby Using a Subquery CREATE TABLE dept80 AS SELECT employee_id, last_name, salary*12 ANNSAL, hire_date FROM employees WHERE department_id = 80; Table created. DESCRIBE dept80

  39. ALTER TABLE Statement • Use the ALTERTABLE statement to: • Add a new column or a constraint • Modify the size or the type of an existing column • Define a default value for the new column • Drop a column or constraint

  40. ALTER TABLE Statement

  41. Dropping a Table • All data and structure in the table are deleted. • Any pending transactions are committed. • All indexes are dropped. • All constraints are dropped. • You cannot roll back the DROP TABLE statement. DROP TABLE dept80; Table dropped.

  42. CREATE TABLE: Example CREATE TABLE employees ( employee_id NUMBER(6) CONSTRAINT emp_employee_id PRIMARY KEY , first_name VARCHAR2(20) , last_name VARCHAR2(25) CONSTRAINT emp_last_name_nn NOT NULL , email VARCHAR2(25) CONSTRAINT emp_email_nn NOT NULL CONSTRAINT emp_email_uk UNIQUE , phone_number VARCHAR2(20) , hire_date DATE CONSTRAINT emp_hire_date_nn NOT NULL , job_id VARCHAR2(10) CONSTRAINT emp_job_nn NOT NULL , salary NUMBER(8,2) CONSTRAINT emp_salary_ck CHECK (salary>0) , commission_pct NUMBER(2,2) , manager_id NUMBER(6) , department_id NUMBER(4) CONSTRAINT emp_dept_fk REFERENCES departments (department_id));
