Introduction
• SQL (Structured Query Language)
– Allows users to query a relational database
– Must enter commands to obtain the desired results
– Standard language for relational database
manipulation
4
Getting Started with SQL
• If you are completing the work in this chapter using
Microsoft Office Access 2007, Microsoft Office
Access 2010, or MySQL version 4.1 or higher, the
following sections contain specific information
about your DBMS
5
Getting Started with Microsoft Office
Access 2007 and 2010
• If you are using the Access 2007 or 2010 version of
the Premiere Products database provided with the
Data Files for this text:
– Tables in the database have already been created
– You will not need to execute the CREATE TABLE
commands to create the tables or the INSERT
commands to add records to the tables
6
Getting Started with Microsoft Office
Access 2007 and 2010 (continued)
• To execute SQL commands shown in the figures in
Access 2007 or Access 2010:
–
–
–
–
–
Open the Premiere Products database
Click the Create tab on the Ribbon
Click the Query Design button in the Other group
Click the Close button in the Show Table dialog box
Click the View button arrow in the Results group on
the Query Design Tools tab, then click SQL View
– The Query1 tab displays the query in SQL view,
ready for you to type your SQL commands
7
Getting Started with MySQL
• MySQL-Premiere script provided with the Data
Files for this text will:
– Activate the database
– Create the tables
– Insert the records
• To run a script in MySQL:
– Type the SOURCE command followed by the name
of the file
– Press the Enter key
8
Getting Started with MySQL
(continued)
• Before typing commands in MySQL, you must
activate the database by typing the USE command
followed by the name of the database
• The most recent command entered in MySQL is
stored in a special area of memory called the
statement history
9
Table Creation
• SQL CREATE TABLE command
– Creates a table by describing its layout
• Typical restrictions placed on table and column
names by DBMS
– Names cannot exceed 18 characters
– Names must start with a letter
– Names can contain only letters, numbers, and
underscores (_)
– Names cannot contain spaces
10
Table Creation (continued)
• INTEGER
– Number without a decimal point
• SMALLINT
– Uses less space than INTEGER
• DECIMAL(p,q)
– P number of digits; q number of decimal places
• CHAR(n)
– Character string n places long
• DATE
– Dates in DD-MON-YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY form
11
Simple Retrieval
• SELECT-FROM-WHERE: SQL retrieval command
– SELECT clause: lists fields to display
– FROM clause: lists table or tables that contain data
to display in query results
– WHERE clause (optional): lists any conditions to be
applied to the data to retrieve
• Simple condition: field name, a comparison
operator, and either another field name or a value
12
Simple Retrieval (continued)
• Retrieving all fields and all records
– Syntax: SELECT * FROM <table>
– Example 1: SELECT * FROM Customer
– Example 2: SELECT * FROM Rep
• Retrieving specific field(s)
• Syntax: SELECT <field1>, <field2>,..<fieldn> FROM
<table>
• Example 1: SELECT Customername, City, State FROM
Customer
• Example 2: SELECT Repnum, Lastname, Firstname,
Commission, Rate FROM Rep
13
Non-Graded Exercise
1. Show all the fields and records from Rep table
2. Show all fields and records Item table
3. Show the Last name and First name of all Sales
Rep from Rep table
4. Show the Item number, Description, On Hand
Quantity and Price from Item table
14
Simple Retrieval – Filtering Records
• Filtering records to retrieve using WHERE clause
– Syntax: SELECT * FROM <table>
– Example 1: (Filtering records with a Text/String field)
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE City=‘Grove’
– Example 2: (Filtering records with a Numeric field)
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CreditLimit=7500
– Example 3: (Filtering records using specific fields)
SELECT Customername, City WHERE City = ‘Grove’
– Example 4: (Filtering records using not equal)
SELECT * FROM City WHERE City <> ‘Fullton’
– Note : If it is a string or a text the value should have
a quote like in ‘Grove’ but if it is numeric do not put a
quote.

35
Using Special Operators (LIKE and IN)
• Wildcards in Access SQL
– Asterisk (*): collection of characters
– Question mark (?): any individual character
• Wildcards in MySQL
– Percent sign (%): any collection of characters
– Underscore (_): any individual character
• To use a wildcard, include the LIKE operator in the
WHERE clause
• IN operator provides a concise way of phrasing
certain conditions
36
Using LIKE operator and wildcards
• Using asterisk for collection of characters pattern
– Example 1: Displays customer whose name starts with letter B
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE customername LIKE ‘B*’
– Example 2: Displays customer whose name starts with the word Brook
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE customername LIKE
‘Brook*’
• Using question mark for individual/single character
– Example 1: Display orders whose partnum starts with letter K followed by any 3
characters.
SELECT * FROM Orderline WHERE Itemnum LIKE ‘K???’
37
Using the IN operator
– Example 1: Displays customer whose credit limit is either $5,000 or $10,000 or
$15,000
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE creditlimit
IN(5000,10000,15000)
– Example 2: Displays customer who comes from the City of Grove, Crystal, Fillmore
or Northfield
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE city
IN(‘Grove’,’Fullton’,’Northfield’)
38
Non-Graded Exercise
1. Show all products from Item table whose
Description starts with letter ‘P’
2. Show all customers from Customer table whose

TOY or PZL from Item table
4. Using IN show customers from Customer table
whose Credit Limit is either 5000, 7500 or 15000.
39
Sorting
• Sort data using the ORDER BY clause
• Sort key: field on which to sort data
• When sorting data on two fields:
– Major sort key (or primary sort key): more important
sort key
– Minor sort key (or secondary sort key): less
important sort key
40
Using the ORDER BY statement
– Example 1: Displays customer sorted by customer name
SELECT * FROM Customer ORDER BY customername
– Example 2: Displays sales rep sorted by Lastname then Firstname
SELECT * FROM Rep ORDER BY Lastname, Firstname
– Example 3: Displays sales rep sorted by Lastname in descending order
SELECT * FROM Rep ORDER BY Lastname DESC
– Example 4: Displays customer sorted by City whose Credit Limit is $10,000
SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE CreditLimit = 10000
ORDER BY city

Built-in Functions
• Built-in functions (aggregate functions) in SQL
– COUNT: calculates number of entries
– SUM or AVG: calculates sum or average of all
entries in a given column
– MAX or MIN: calculates largest or smallest values
respectively
44
Using Aggregate Functions (COUNT,
SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN)
– Example 1: Count all how many customers in Customer table
SELECT COUNT(*) as CustomerCount FROM Customer
– Example 2: Count how many customers from the City of Grove
SELECT COUNT(*) as CountGrove FROM Customer
WHERE city = ‘Grove’
– Example 3: Sum all Balance from all Customers
SELECT SUM(Balance) as TotalBalance FROM Customer
– Example 4: Sum all Balance from all Customers for those who a CreditLimit of
$5,000
SELECT SUM(Balance) as TotalBalance FROM Customer
WHERE CreditLimit=5000
45

table
4. Give the Sum or Total for the Quoted Price from
Orderline table
5. Give the Sum or Total for the Quoted Price from
Orderline table whose Quoted Price is above $400
46
Subqueries
• Subquery: inner query
• Subquery is evaluated first
• Outer query is evaluated after the subquery
47
Using Subquery
– Example 1: Select orders where whose parts/products are from Warehouse No. 3
SELECT Ordernum FROM Orderline WHERE Partnum IN
(SELECT Partnum FROM Part WHERE Warehouse = ‘3’)

Grouping
• Create groups of records that share a common
characteristic
• GROUP BY clause indicates grouping in SQL
• HAVING clause is to groups what the WHERE
clause is to rows
50
Using GROUP BY
– Example 1: Count how many customers per Sales Representative
SELECT Repnum, COUNT(*) as TotalCustomersPerRep
FROM Customer GROUP BY Repnum
– Example 2: Get the Total of how much Quantity on Hand per Class of all the products
SELECT Category, SUM(OnHand) as TotalPerCategory
FROM Item GROUP BY Category
51
Using HAVING
– Example 2: Get the Total of how much Quantity on Hand per Class of all products
that have Quantity on hand above 70
SELECT Category, SUM(OnHand) as TotalPerCategory
FROM Item GROUP BY Class HAVING SUM(OnHand) > 120
52
Non-Graded Exercise
1. Using subquery show orders from Orderline table
that has a Category of ‘GME’ in Item table
2. Count all customers from Customer table per City.
3. Sum all Quantity on Hand from Item table per
Storehouse.
4. Display the Sum of Quantity on Hand from Item
table per Storehouse that has Total Quantity on
hand above 200.
53
Joining Tables
•
•
•
Queries can locate data from more than one table
Enter appropriate conditions in the WHERE clause
To join tables, construct the SQL command as:
1. SELECT clause: list all fields you want to display
2. FROM clause: list all tables involved in the query
3. WHERE clause: give the condition that will restrict
the data to be retrieved to only those rows from the
two tables that match
4. Or you could use INNER JOIN in same manner as
no. 3
54
Joining tables example
– Example 1: Joining tables using WHERE clause
SELECT CustomerNum, CustomerName, Rep.Repnum,
Lastname, Firstname FROM Customer, Rep
WHERE Customer.Repnum = Rep.Repnum
– Example 2: Joining tables using INNER JOIN
SELECT A.CustomerNum, A.CustomerName, B.Repnum,
B.Lastname, B.Firstname FROM Customer A INNER JOIN
Rep B ON A.Repnum = B.Repnum
55
Non-Graded Exercise
1. Using WHERE clause join Orderline and Item
tables showing Ordernum from Orderline table
then Itemnum and Description from Item table
2. Using INNER JOIN, join Orderline and Item tables
showing Ordernum from Orderline table then

Updating Tables
• UPDATE command makes changes to existing data
• INSERT command adds new data to a table
• DELETE command deletes data from the database
58
Updating Table using UPDATE command
– Example 1: Updating one field
UPDATE Customer SET City=‘Manila’ WHERE
Customernum=‘386’
– Example 2: Updating more than one field
UPDATE Rep SET Lastname=‘Doe’, Firstname=‘John’
WHERE Repnum=‘30’
– Example 3: Updating involving computation
UPDATE Item SET OnHand=OnHand-1 WHERE
Storehouse=‘2’
59

back the Firstname and Lastname of Sales Rep
John Doe to Gradey Megan whose Repnum = ‘30’
3. Using update command restore back from Item
table to OnHand quantity plus 1 this time whose
Storehouse = ‘2’
60
Updating Table using INSERT command
– Example 1: Inserting a record involving all fields
INSERT INTO Item VALUES (‘TH01',‘Thomas and Friends
Train',50,‘TOY',‘2',35.50)
– Example 2: Inserting a record involving specific fields
INSERT INTO Item (Itemnum, Description,Category,Price)
VALUES (‘BL10',‘Bible Puzzle',‘PZL',25.00)
61
Non-Graded Exercise

Creating a Table from a Query
• INTO clause
– Saves the results of a query as a table
– Specified before FROM and WHERE clauses
• MySQL

Summary of SQL Commands
• Generic versions of SQL commands for every
example presented in this chapter
• In most cases, commands in Access are identical
to the generic versions
• For those commands that differ, both the generic
version and the Access version are included
66
Summary
• Structured Query Language (SQL) is a language
that is used to manipulate relational databases
• Basic form of an SQL query: SELECT-FROMWHERE
• Use CREATE TABLE command to describe table
layout to the DBMS, which creates the table
• In SQL retrieval commands, fields are listed after
SELECT, tables are listed after FROM, and
conditions are listed after WHERE
• In conditions, character values must be enclosed in
single quotation marks
67
Summary (continued)
• Compound conditions are formed by combining
simple conditions using either or both of the
following operators: AND and OR
• Sorting is accomplished using ORDER BY clause
• When the data is sorted in more than one field, can
have a major and minor sort key
• Grouping: use the GROUP BY clause
• HAVING clause: restricts the rows to be displayed
68
Summary (continued)
• Joining tables: use a condition that relates
matching rows in the tables to be joined
• Built-in (aggregate) functions: COUNT, SUM, AVG,
MAX, and MIN
• One SQL query can be placed inside another; the
subquery is evaluated first
• UNION operator: unifies the results of two queries
69
Summary (continued)
• Calculated fields: include the calculation, the word
AS, the name of the calculated field
• INSERT command adds a new row to a table
• UPDATE command changes existing data
• DELETE command deletes records
• INTO clause is used in a SELECT command to
create a table containing the results of the query
