4.Tables
a. To create a Table [ first use a Database before create a table .Ex- use mscitdb; ]
Create table msctbl ( name char(30), idno int, mark1
b. To view the tables

int);

show tables;

c.

To View the Table Structure

Describe mscittbl;

d.

To View the Assigned Keys

show keys from mscittbl;

c.

To delete a table

drop table mscittbl;

d.

To insert data into a Table

insert into mscittbl values (hafdamu", 1, 98);

e.

To Delete a record from a table

Syntax :-

DELETE FROM tablename WHERE (rule)

Ex:

delete from mscittbl where rollno= 5;

f. To update the data in a table

Syntax : =>

UPDATE table_name SET col_name = expression WHERE (rule)

Example =>

UPDATE mscittbl SET mark1 = 88 WHERE rollno = 5 ;

g. To View the Data in a Table [ Execute queries ]

Ex:
USE bsccsdb ;
SELECT * FROM mscittbl ;
To view the students those who are got >80 in compilerDesign.

SELECT * FROM mscittbl WHERE cdmsmark >80;

5. Create a view
CREATE VIEW mscitview ON mscittbl AS select idno, name FROM mscittbl;

6.

Creating a Table from an Existing Table

Syntax :CREATE TABLE NEW_TABLE(FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3)
AS (SELECT FIELD1, FIELD2, FIELD3FROM OLD_TABLE <WHERE...>
Ex
Create table mscit1(sno int) as (select

7.

idno , name from mscittbl ) ;

Inserting the data from an Existing Table into a newly created table
Syntax :INSERT NEW_TABLE SELECT <field1, field2... | *> from OLD_TABLE
<WHERE...>;
Ex:

Insert mscit1 select idno, name from mscittbl;

8. ALTER the TABLE

Under alter we can do the Following : -

Add , Delete , Modify & Insert

To Change the name field size :

ALTER TABLE mscittbl MODIFY NAME CHAR(100);
To Add a new Field to the table:ALTER TABLE mscittbl ADD projmark int ;

9. Using special functions in sql

[ Sum ,avg, max ,min ,mod , power , SQRT , LOWER ,UPPER , SIGN
,LTRIM ,RTRIM
COS, COSH, SIN, TAN,EXP , Mod , POWER , SQRT and USER ]
Ex.: SELECT NAME, AVG(mark1) FROM mscittbl ;

10.

Sort the Table

Using the following clauses we can sort the Records in the table.
WHERE l STARTING WITH l ORDER BY l GROUP BY l HAVING
Ex.: ->

SELECT *

11.

FROM mscittbl GROUP BY NAME;

Joining 2 Table

To View the Records of 2 or more table

SELECT

a.NAME, b.name

FROM

bsccstbl

a, msctbl

b;

12.

DISTINCT - used to Sort & Remove the Duplicate

Records
select DISTINCT totalmark from mscittbl;

13.

String Concatenation

SELECT LASTNAME || ','

mscittbl;
NAME
Ronoldo ,christiyano

||

FIRSTNAME

NAME

FROM

MEZA , Messy

14.

UNION and UNION ALL

UNION returns the results of two

duplicate rows.
Syntax : table2;

15.

queries minus the

SELECT NAME FROM tabl1 UNION

SELECT NAME FROM

INTERSECT

INTERSECT returns only the rows found by both queries. The next
SELECT statement shows the list of players who play on both teams:

Syntax : SELECT * FROM table1

table2;

INTERSECT

SELECT * FROM
