SQL language Considered one of the major reasons for the commercial success of relational databases SQL Structured Query Language Statements for data definitions, queries, and updates (both DDL and DML) Core specification Plus specialized extensions Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 4

Terminology: Table, row, and column used for relational model terms relation, tuple, and attribute CREATE statement Main SQL command for data definition Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 5

SQL schema Identified by a schema name Includes an authorization identifier and descriptors for each element Schema elements include Tables, constraints, views, domains, and other constructs Each statement in SQL ends with a semicolon Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 6

CREATE SCHEMA statement CREATE SCHEMA COMPANY AUTHORIZATION Jsmith ; Catalog Named collection of schemas in an SQL environment SQL environment Installation of an SQL-compliant RDBMS on a computer system Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 7

Specify a new relation Provide name Specify attributes and initial constraints Can optionally specify schema: CREATE TABLE COMPANY.EMPLOYEE... or CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE... Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 8

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 Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 9

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 11

Some foreign keys may cause errors Specified either via: Circular references Or because they refer to a table that has not yet been created Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 12

Basic data types 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) Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 13

Bit-string data types Fixed length: BIT(n) Varying length: BIT VARYING(n) Boolean data type Values of TRUE or FALSE or NULL DATE data type Ten positions Components are YEAR, MONTH, and DAY in the form YYYY-MM-DD Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 14

Additional data types Timestamp data type (TIMESTAMP) Includes the DATE and TIME fields Plus a minimum of six positions for decimal fractions of seconds Optional WITH TIME ZONE qualifier INTERVAL data type Specifies a relative value that can be used to increment or decrement an absolute value of a date, time, or timestamp Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 15

Basic constraints: Key and referential integrity constraints Restrictions on attribute domains and NULLs Constraints on individual tuples within a relation Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 16

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); Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 17

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 18

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; Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 19

FOREIGN KEY 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 Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 20

CHECK clauses at the end of a CREATE TABLE statement Apply to each tuple individually CHECK (Dept_create_date <= Mgr_start_date); Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 22

SELECT statement One basic statement for retrieving information from a database SQL allows a table to have two or more tuples that are identical in all their attribute values Unlike relational model Multiset or bag behavior Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 23

Basic form of the SELECT statement: Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 24

Logical comparison operators =, <, <=, >, >=, and <> Projection attributes Attributes whose values are to be retrieved Selection condition Boolean condition that must be true for any retrieved tuple Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 25

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 33

Same name can be used for two (or more) attributes As long as the attributes are in different relations Must qualify the attribute name with the relation name to prevent ambiguity Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 34

Aliases or tuple variables Declare alternative relation names E and S EMPLOYEE AS E(Fn, Mi, Ln, Ssn, Bd, Addr, Sex, Sal, Sssn, Dno) Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 35

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 36

Missing WHERE clause Indicates no condition on tuple selection CROSS PRODUCT All possible tuple combinations Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 37

Specify an asterisk (*) Retrieve all the attribute values of the selected tuples Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 38

SQL does not automatically eliminate duplicate tuples in query results Use the keyword DISTINCT in the SELECT clause Only distinct tuples should remain in the result Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 39

Set operations UNION, EXCEPT (difference), INTERSECT Corresponding multiset operations: UNION ALL, EXCEPT ALL, INTERSECT ALL) Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 40

LIKE comparison operator Used for string pattern matching % replaces an arbitrary number of zero or more characters underscore (_) replaces a single character Standard arithmetic operators: Addition (+), subtraction ( ), multiplication (*), and division (/) BETWEEN comparison operator Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 41

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 42

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 43

Use ORDER BY clause Keyword DESC to see result in a descending order of values Default order is in ascending order of values Keyword ASC to specify ascending order explicitly ORDER BY D.Dname DESC, E.Lname ASC, E.Fname ASC Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 44

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 45

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 46

Three commands used to modify the database: INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 47

Specify the relation name and a list of values for the tuple Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 48

Removes tuples from a relation Includes a WHERE clause to select the tuples to be deleted Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 49

Modify attribute values of one or more selected tuples Additional SET clause in the UPDATE command Specifies attributes to be modified and new values Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 50

Techniques for specifying complex retrieval queries Writing programs in various programming languages that include SQL statements Set of commands for specifying physical database design parameters, file structures for relations, and access paths Transaction control commands Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 51

Specifying the granting and revoking of privileges to users Constructs for creating triggers Enhanced relational systems known as objectrelational New technologies such as XML and OLAP Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 52

Meanings of NULL Unknown value Unavailable or withheld value Not applicable attribute Each individual NULL value considered to be different from every other NULL value SQL uses a three-valued logic: TRUE, FALSE, and UNKNOWN Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 53

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 54

SQL allows queries that check whether an attribute value is NULL IS or IS NOT NULL Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 55

Nested queries Complete select-from-where blocks within WHERE clause of another query Outer query Comparison operator IN Compares value v with a set (or multiset) of values V Evaluates to TRUE if v is one of the elements in V Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 56

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 57

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 58

Use tuples of values in comparisons Place them within parentheses This query will select the Essns of all employees who work the same (project, hours) combination on some project that employee John Smith (whose Ssn = 123456789 ) works on. Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 59

Use other comparison operators to compare a single value v = ANY (or = SOME) operator Returns TRUE if the value v is equal to some value in the set V and is hence equivalent to IN Other operators that can be combined with ANY (or SOME): >, >=, <, <=, and <> An example is the following query, which returns the names of employees whose salary is greater than the salary of all the employees in department 5: Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 60

Avoid potential errors and ambiguities Create tuple variables (aliases) for all tables referenced in SQL query Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 61

A query written with nested select-from-where blocks and using the = or IN comparison operators can always be expressed as a single block query. For example, Q16 may be written as in Q16A: Q16A: SELECT E.Fname, E.Lname FROM EMPLOYEE AS E, DEPENDENT AS D WHERE E.Ssn=D.Essn AND E.Sex=D.Sex AND E.Fname=D.Dependent_name; Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 62

Correlated nested query Evaluated once for each tuple in the outer query Q16A: SELECT E.Fname, E.Lname FROM EMPLOYEE AS E, DEPENDENT AS D WHERE E.Ssn=D.Essn AND E.Sex=D.Sex AND E.Fname=D.Dependent_name; Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 63

EXISTS function Check whether the result of a correlated nested query is empty or not In general, EXISTS(Q) returns TRUE if there is at least one tuple in the result of the nested query Q, and it returns FALSE otherwise. NOT EXISTS Typically used in conjunction with a correlated nested query returns TRUE if there are no tuples in the result of nested query Q, and it returns FALSE otherwise. SQL function UNIQUE(Q) Returns TRUE if there are no duplicate tuples in the result of query Q Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 64

Q16B: SELECT E.Fname, E.Lname FROM EMPLOYEE AS E WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM DEPENDENT AS D WHERE E.Ssn=D.Essn AND E.Sex=D.Sex AND E.Fname=D.Dependent_name); Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 65

Query 6. Retrieve the names of employees who have no dependents. Q6: SELECT Fname, Lname FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM DEPENDENT WHERE Ssn=Essn); Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 66

Can use explicit set of values in WHERE clause Use qualifier AS followed by desired new name Rename any attribute that appears in the result of a query Query 17. Retrieve the Social Security numbers of all employees who work on project numbers 1, 2, or 3. Q17: SELECT DISTINCT Essn FROM WORKS_ON WHERE Pno IN (1, 2, 3); For each employee, retrieve the employee s first and last name and the first and last name of his or her immediate supervisor. Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 67

Joined table Permits users to specify a table resulting from a join operation in the FROM clause of a query The FROM clause in Q1A Contains a single joined table Query 1. Retrieve the name and address of all employees who work for the Research department. Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 68

Specify different types of join NATURAL JOIN Various types of OUTER JOIN NATURAL JOIN on two relations R and S No join condition specified Implicit EQUIJOIN condition for each pair of attributes with same name from R and S Q1B: SELECT Fname, Lname, Address FROM (EMPLOYEE NATURAL JOIN (DEPARTMENT AS DEPT (Dname, Dno, Mssn, Msdate))) WHERE Dname= Research ; Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 69

Inner join Default type of join in a joined table Tuple is included in the result only if a matching tuple exists in the other relation LEFT OUTER JOIN Every tuple in left table must appear in result If no matching tuple Padded with NULL values for attributes of right table Q8B: SELECT E.Lname AS Employee_name, S.Lname AS Supervisor_name FROM (EMPLOYEE AS E LEFT OUTER JOIN EMPLOYEE AS S ON E.Super_ssn=S.Ssn); All employees who have a supervisor are included in the result along with those who do have supervisor value as NULL Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 70

RIGHT OUTER JOIN Every tuple in right table must appear in result If no matching tuple Padded with NULL values for the attributes of left table FULL OUTER JOIN Can nest join specifications Q2A: For every project located in Stafford, list the project number, the controlling department number, and the department manager s last name, address, and birth date. Q2A: SELECT Pnumber, Dnum, Lname, Address, Bdate FROM ((PROJECT JOIN DEPARTMENT ON Dnum=Dnumber) JOIN EMPLOYEE ON Mgr_ssn=Ssn) WHERE Plocation= Stafford ; Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 71

Used to summarize information from multiple tuples into a single-tuple summary Grouping Create subgroups of tuples before summarizing Built-in aggregate functions COUNT, SUM, MAX, MIN, and AVG Functions can be used in the SELECT clause or in a HAVING clause Query 19. Find the sum of the salaries of all employees, the maximum salary, the minimum salary, and the average salary. Q19: SELECT SUM (Salary), MAX (Salary), MIN (Salary), AVG (Salary) FROM EMPLOYEE; Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 72

NULL values discarded when aggregate functions are applied to a particular column Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 73

Query 23. Count the number of distinct salary values in the database. Q23: SELECT COUNT (DISTINCT Salary) FROM EMPLOYEE; Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 74

Partition relation into subsets of tuples Based on grouping attribute(s) Apply function to each such group independently GROUP BY clause Specifies grouping attributes If NULLs exist in grouping attribute Separate group created for all tuples with a NULL value in grouping attribute Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 75

Query 24. For each department, retrieve the department number, the number of employees in the department, and their average salary. Q24: SELECT Dno, COUNT (*), AVG (Salary) FROM EMPLOYEE GROUP BY Dno; Query 25. For each project, retrieve the project number, the project name, and the number of employees who work on that project. Q25: SELECT Pnumber, Pname, COUNT (*) FROM PROJECT, WORKS_ON WHERE Pnumber=Pno GROUP BY Pnumber, Pname; Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 76

HAVING clause Provides a condition on the summary information Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 77

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 78

CREATE ASSERTION Specify additional types of constraints outside scope of built-in relational model constraints CREATE TRIGGER Specify automatic actions that database system will perform when certain events and conditions occur Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 79

CREATE ASSERTION Specify a query that selects any tuples that violate the desired condition Use only in cases where it is not possible to use CHECK on attributes and domains In the following example, the query selects all employees whose salaries are greater than the salary of the manager of their department. If the result of the query is not empty, the assertion is violated. Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 80

CREATE TRIGGER statement Used to monitor the database Typical trigger has three components: Event(s):These are usually database update operations that are explicitly applied to the database. Condition: Determines whether the rule action should be executed: Once the triggering event has occurred, an optional condition may be evaluated. Action: The action is usually a sequence of SQL statements, but it could also be a database transaction or an external program that will be automatically executed Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 81

Suppose we want to check whenever an employee s salary is greater than the salary of his or her direct supervisor in the COMPANY database Suppose that the action to take would be to call an external stored procedure SALARY_VIOLATION,5 which will notify the supervisor. The trigger could then be written as in R5 below. R5: CREATE TRIGGER SALARY_VIOLATION BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OF SALARY, SUPERVISOR_SSN ON EMPLOYEE FOR EACH ROW WHEN ( NEW.SALARY > ( SELECT SALARY FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE SSN = NEW.SUPERVISOR_SSN ) ) INFORM_SUPERVISOR(NEW.Supervisor_ssn, NEW.Ssn ); Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 82

Event(s): In this example the events are: inserting a new employee record, changing an employee s salary, or changing an employee s supervisor. These events are specified after the keyword BEFORE in our example. An alternative is to use the keyword AFTER Condition: The condition is specified in the WHEN clause of the trigger. Action: In this example, the action is to execute the stored procedure INFORM_SUPERVISOR. Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 83

Concept of a view in SQL Single table derived from other tables Considered to be a virtual table Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 84

CREATE VIEW command Give table name, list of attribute names, and a query to specify the contents of the view Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 85

Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 86

Specify SQL queries on a view View always up-to-date Responsibility of the DBMS and not the user DROP VIEW command Dispose of a view Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 87

Complex problem of efficiently implementing a view for querying Query modification approach Modify view query into a query on underlying base tables Disadvantage: inefficient for views defined via complex queries that are time-consuming to execute Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 88

View materialization approach Physically create a temporary view table when the view is first queried Keep that table on the assumption that other queries on the view will follow Requires efficient strategy for automatically updating the view table when the base tables are updated Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 89

Incremental update strategies DBMS determines what new tuples must be inserted, deleted, or modified in a materialized view table Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 90

Update on a view defined on a single table without any aggregate functions Can be mapped to an update on underlying base table View involving joins Often not possible for DBMS to determine which of the updates is intended Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 91

Clause WITH CHECK OPTION Must be added at the end of the view definition if a view is to be updated In-line view Defined in the FROM clause of an SQL query Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 92

DROP command Used to drop named schema elements, such as tables, domains, or constraint Drop behavior options: CASCADE and RESTRICT Example: DROP TABLE DEPENDENT CASCADE; Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 93

Alter table actions include: Adding or dropping a column (attribute) Changing a column definition Adding or dropping table constraints Example: ALTER TABLE COMPANY.EMPLOYEE ADD COLUMN Job VARCHAR(12); To drop a column Choose either CASCADE or RESTRICT Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 94

Change constraints specified on a table Add or drop a named constraint Module 4 Slides by: Shree Jaswal 95
