INSERTING, DELETING, UPDATING AND RETRIEVING TABLES AND TRANSACTION
CONTROL STATEMENTS
LEARNING MATERIAL
SQL:

Structured query language pronounced as (SEQUEL). This language is used to communicate to oracle
database.

Database Management System (DBMS):

DBMS is software it helps to manage the database. It performs the following activities very easily.
• Inserting the new data.

• Updating the exiting data.

• Deleting unnecessary data.

• Retrieving the required data.

Examples of RDBMS:
• ORACLE

• SQL SERVER

• DB2

• MYSQL

• SYBASE

• TERA DATA

• MS ACCESS
Structured Query Language (SQL)

The SQL language is subdivided according to their functions as follows

DDL Data Definition Language

DML Data Manipulation Language

DRL/DQL Data Retrieval Language / Data Query Language

DCL Data Control Language

TCL Transaction Control

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
6

Data Definition Language (DDL):

Data Definition Language (DDL) or Schema Definition Language, statements are used to define the
database structure or schema.

CREATE - to create objects in the database

ALTER - alters the structure of the database

DROP - delete objects from the database

TRUNCATE - remove all records from a table, including all spaces allocated for the records are removed

COMMENT - add comments to the data dictionary

RENAME - rename an object

Transaction Control (TCL):

Transaction Control (TCL) statements are used to manage the changes made by DML statements.
It allows statements to be grouped together into logical transactions.

COMMIT - save work done

SAVEPOINT - identify a point in a transaction to which you can later roll back

ROLLBACK - restore database to original since the last COMMIT

SET TRANSACTION - Change transaction options like isolation level and what rollback segment to use

Data Types

SQL data type is an attribute that specifies type of data of any object. Each column, variable and expression has
related data type in SQL.
You would use these data types while creating your tables. You would choose a particular data type for a
table column based on your requirement.
SQL Server offers six categories of data types for your use.

Exact Numeric Data Types

Operators
An operator is a reserved word or a character used primarily in an SQL statement's WHERE clause to
perform operation(s), such as comparisons and arithmetic operations.

Operators are used to specify conditions in an SQL statement and to serve as conjunctions for multiple
conditions in a statement.

• Arithmetic operators
• Comparison operators
• Logical operators
• Operators used to negate conditions

SQL Arithmetic Operators:

Operator Description Example

Addition - Adds values on either side of the a + b will

+
operator give 30

Subtraction - Subtracts right hand operand from a - b will

-
left hand operand give -10

Multiplication - Multiplies values on either side of a * b will

*
the operator give 200

Division - Divides left hand operand by right hand b / a will

/
operand give 2

b%a
Modulus - Divides left hand operand by right hand
% will give
operand and returns remainder
0

SQL Comparison Operators:

Operator Description Example

(a = b)
Checks if the values of two operands are equal or
= is not
not, if yes then condition becomes true.
true.

Checks if the values of two operands are equal or

(a != b)
!= not, if values are not equal then condition
is true.
becomes true.

Checks if the values of two operands are equal or

(a <> b)
<> not, if values are not equal then condition
is true.
becomes true.

Checks if the value of left operand is greater than (a > b)

> the value of right operand, if yes then condition is not
becomes true. true.

Checks if the value of left operand is less than the

(a < b)
< value of right operand, if yes then condition
is true.
becomes true.

Checks if the value of left operand is greater than (a >= b)

>= or equal to the value of right operand, if yes then is not
condition becomes true. true.

Checks if the value of left operand is less than or

(a <= b)
<= equal to the value of right operand, if yes then
is true.
condition becomes true.

Checks if the value of left operand is not less than

(a !< b)
!< the value of right operand, if yes then condition
is false.
becomes true.

Checks if the value of left operand is not greater

(a !> b)
!> than the value of right operand, if yes then
is true.
condition becomes true.

SQL Logical Operators:

Operator Description

The ALL operator is used to compare a value to all values in

ALL
another value set.

The AND operator allows the existence of multiple conditions in

AND
an SQL statement's WHERE clause.

The ANY operator is used to compare a value to any applicable

ANY
value in the list according to the condition.

The BETWEEN operator is used to search for values that are

BETWEEN within a set of values, given the minimum value and the
maximum value.

The EXISTS operator is used to search for the presence of a

EXISTS
row in a specified table that meets certain criteria.

The IN operator is used to compare a value to a list of literal

IN
values that have been specified.

The LIKE operator is used to compare a value to similar values

LIKE
using wildcard operators.

The NOT operator reverses the meaning of the logical operator

NOT with which it is used. Eg: NOT EXISTS, NOT BETWEEN, NOT IN,
etc. This is a negate operator.

The OR operator is used to combine multiple conditions in an

OR
SQL statement's WHERE clause.

The NULL operator is used to compare a value with a NULL

IS NULL
value.

The UNIQUE operator searches every row of a specified table

UNIQUE
for uniqueness (no duplicates).

SQL - CREATE Table

Creating a basic table involves naming the table and defining its columns and each column's data type.

The SQL CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a new table.

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
13

Syntax:
Basic syntax of CREATE TABLE statement is as follows:
CREATE TABLE table_name(
column1 datatype,
column2 datatype,
column3 datatype,
.....
columnN datatype,
CONSTRAINT CONSTRAINTNAME CONSTRAINTKEYWORD1( one or more columns ),
CONSTRAINT CONSTRAINTNAME CONSTRAINTKEYWORD2( one or more columns ),
.
.
.);

CREATE TABLE is the keyword telling the database system what you want to do. In this case, you want to
create a new table. The unique name or identifier for the table follows the CREATE TABLE statement.

Then in brackets comes the list defining each column in the table and what sort of data type it is. The syntax
becomes clearer with an example below.

A copy of an existing table can be created using a combination of the CREATE TABLE statement and the
SELECT statement.
Example:

SQL> CREATE TABLE CUSTOMERS(

ID INT NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL,
AGE INT NOT NULL,
ADDRESS CHAR (25) ,
SALARY DECIMAL (18, 2),
CONSTRAINT PK1 PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);

Following is an example, which creates a CUSTOMERS table with ID as primary key and NOT NULL are
the constraints showing that these fields can not be NULL while creating records in this table:
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
14

You can verify if your table has been created successfully by looking at the message displayed by the SQL
server, otherwise you can use DESC command as follows:

SQL> DESC CUSTOMERS;

+---------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+---------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| ID | int(11) | NO | PRI | | |
| NAME | varchar(20) | NO | | | |
| AGE | int(11) | NO | | | |
| ADDRESS | char(25) | YES | | NULL | |
| SALARY | decimal(18,2) | YES | | NULL | |
+---------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Now, you have CUSTOMERS table available in your database which you can use to store required
information related to customers.

SQL - ALTER TABLE Command

The SQL ALTER TABLE command is used to add, delete or modify columns in an existing table.You
would also use ALTER TABLE command to add and drop various constraints on a an existing table.
Syntax:
The basic syntax of ALTER TABLE to add a new column in an existing table is as follows:

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD column_name datatype;

The basic syntax of ALTER TABLE to DROP COLUMN in an existing table is as follows:

ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name;

The basic syntax of ALTER TABLE to change the DATA TYPE of a column in a table is as follows:

ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY COLUMN column_name datatype;

The basic syntax of ALTER TABLE to add a NOT NULL constraint to a column in a table is as follows:

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
15

ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name datatype NOT NULL;

The basic syntax of ALTER TABLE to ADD UNIQUE CONSTRAINT to a table is as follows:

ALTER TABLE table_name

ADD CONSTRAINT MyUniqueConstraint UNIQUE(column1, column2...);

The basic syntax of ALTER TABLE to ADD CHECK CONSTRAINT to a table is as follows:

ALTER TABLE table_name

ADD CONSTRAINT MyUniqueConstraint CHECK (CONDITION);

The basic syntax of ALTER TABLE to ADD PRIMARY KEY constraint to a table is as follows:

ALTER TABLE table_name

ADD CONSTRAINT MyPrimaryKey PRIMARY KEY (column1, column2...);

The basic syntax of ALTER TABLE to DROP CONSTRAINT from a table is as follows:

ALTER TABLE table_name

DROP CONSTRAINT MyUniqueConstraint;

If you're using MySQL, the code is as follows:

ALTER TABLE table_name

DROP INDEX MyUniqueConstraint;

The basic syntax of ALTER TABLE to DROP PRIMARY KEY constraint from a table is as follows:

ALTER TABLE table_name

DROP CONSTRAINT MyPrimaryKey;

If you're using MySQL, the code is as follows:

ALTER TABLE table_name

DROP PRIMARY KEY;

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory

Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

Following is the example to ADD a new column in an existing table:

ALTER TABLE CUSTOMERS ADD SEX char(1);

Now, CUSTOMERS table is changed and following would be output from SELECT statement:

+----+---------+-----+-----------+----------+------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | SEX |
+----+---------+-----+-----------+----------+------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 | NULL |
| 2 | Ramesh | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 | NULL |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 | NULL |
| 4 | kaushik | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 | NULL |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 | NULL |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 | NULL |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 | NULL |

Following is the example to DROP sex column from existing table:

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
17

ALTER TABLE CUSTOMERS DROP SEX;

Now, CUSTOMERS table is changed and following would be output from SELECT statement:

+----+---------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+---------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Ramesh | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | kaushik | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+---------+-----+-----------+----------+

You can also use DROP TABLE command to delete complete table but it would remove complete table
structure form the database and you would need to re-create this table once again if you wish you store some
data.
Syntax:
The basic syntax of TRUNCATE TABLE is as follows:

TRUNCATE TABLE table_name;

Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
18

| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |

| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

Following is the example to truncate:

SQL > TRUNCATE TABLE CUSTOMERS;

Now, CUSTOMERS table is truncated and following would be the output from SELECT statement:

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS;

Empty set (0.00 sec)

SQL - DROP or DELETE Table

The SQL DROP TABLE statement is used to remove a table definition and all data, indexes, triggers,
constraints, and permission specifications for that table.

NOTE: You have to be careful while using this command because once a table is deleted then all the
information available in the table would also be lost forever.

Syntax:
Basic syntax of DROP TABLE statement is as follows:

DROP TABLE table_name;

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
19

Example:
Let us first verify CUSTOMERS table and then we would delete it from the database:

SQL> DESC CUSTOMERS;

+---------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

This means CUSTOMERS table is available in the database, so let us drop it as follows:

SQL> DROP TABLE CUSTOMERS;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

Now, if you would try DESC command, then you would get error as follows:

SQL> DESC CUSTOMERS;

ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'TEST.CUSTOMERS' doesn't exist

Here, TEST is database name which we are using for our examples.

SQL – Constraints
Constraints are the rules enforced on data columns on table. These are used to limit the type of data that can go
into a table. This ensures the accuracy and reliability of the data in the database. Constraints could be column
level or table level. Column level constraints are applied only to one column, whereas table level constraints
are applied to the whole table.

Following are commonly used constraints available in SQL.

These constraints have already been discussed in SQL - RDBMS Concepts chapter but it’s worth to revise
them at this point.

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
20

• NOT NULL Constraint: Ensures that a column cannot have NULL value.

• DEFAULT Constraint: Provides a default value for a column when none is specified.

• UNIQUE Constraint: Ensures that all values in a column are different.

• PRIMARY Key: Uniquely identified each rows/records in a database table.

• FOREIGN Key: Uniquely identified a rows/records in any another database table.

• CHECK Constraint: The CHECK constraint ensures that all values in a column satisfy certain
conditions.

• INDEX: Use to create and retrieve data from the database very quickly.

Constraints can be specified when a table is created with the CREATE TABLE statement or you can use
ALTER TABLE statement to create constraints even after the table is created.

Dropping Constraints:
Any constraint that you have defined can be dropped using the ALTER TABLE command with the DROP
CONSTRAINT option.

For example, to drop the primary key constraint in the EMPLOYEES table, you can use the following
command:

ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEES DROP CONSTRAINT EMPLOYEES_PK;

Some implementations may provide shortcuts for dropping certain constraints. For example, to drop the
primary key constraint for a table in Oracle, you can use the following command:

ALTER TABLE EMPLOYEES DROP PRIMARY KEY;

Some implementations allow you to disable constraints. Instead of permanently dropping a constraint from
the database, you may want to temporarily disable the constraint and then enable it later.
Integrity Constraints:
Integrity constraints are used to ensure accuracy and consistency of data in a relational database. Data
integrity is handled in a relational database through the concept of referential integrity.

There are many types of integrity constraints that play a role in referential integrity (RI). These constraints
include Primary Key, Foreign Key, Unique Constraints and other constraints mentioned above.
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
21

SQL RENAME Statement

With RENAME statement you can rename a table

Some of the relational database management system (RDBMS) does not support this command, because this
is not standardizing statement.

For example renaming a table through MS SQL Server you must use storage procedure SP_RENAME.
Syntax for SQL RENAME is:

RENAME TABLE {tbl_name} TO {new_tbl_name};

Where {tbl_name} table that exists in the current database, and

{new_tbl_name} is new table name.

As for Oracle may also be use the following option: ALTER TABLE

{tbl_name} RENAME TO {new_tbl_name};

The SQL INSERT INTO Statement is used to add new rows of data to a table in the database.
Syntax:

There are two basic syntaxes of INSERT INTO statement as follows:

INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME (column1, column2, column3,...columnN)]

VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...valueN);

Here, column1, column2,...columnN are the names of the columns in the table into which you want to insert
data.

You may not need to specify the column(s) name in the SQL query if you are adding values for all the columns
of the table. But make sure the order of the values is in the same order as the columns in the table.

The SQL INSERT INTO syntax would be as follows:

INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME VALUES (value1,value2,value3,...valueN);

Example:
Following statements would create six records in CUSTOMERS table:

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
22

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (1, 'Ramesh', 32, 'Ahmedabad', 2000.00 );

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (2, 'Khilan', 25, 'Delhi', 1500.00 );

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (3, 'kaushik', 23, 'Kota', 2000.00 );

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (4, 'Chaitali', 25, 'Mumbai', 6500.00 );

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (5, 'Hardik', 27, 'Bhopal', 8500.00 );

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

Data Manipulation Language

LEARNING MATERIAL
SQL is equipped with data manipulation language (DML). DML modifies the database instance by
inserting, updating and deleting its data. DML is responsible for all froms data modification in a database.
SQL contains the following set of commands in its DML section −

• SELECT/FROM/WHERE
• INSERT INTO/VALUES
• UPDATE/SET/WHERE
• DELETE FROM/WHERE
These basic constructs allow database programmers and users to enter data and information into the
database and retrieve efficiently using a number of filter options.

SQL - SELECT Query

SQL SELECT statement is used to fetch the data from a database table which returns data in the form of
result table. These result tables are called result-sets.
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
28

Syntax:
The basic syntax of SELECT statement is as follows:

SELECT column1, column2, columnN FROM table_name;

Here, column1, column2...are the fields of a table whose values you want to fetch. If you want to fetch all
the fields available in the field, then you can use the following syntax:

SELECT * FROM table_name;

Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:

Following is an example, which would fetch ID, Name and Salary fields of the customers available in
CUSTOMERS table:

SQL> SELECT ID, NAME, SALARY FROM CUSTOMERS;

This would produce the following result:

+----+----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | SALARY |
+----+----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 6500.00 |

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
29

| 5 | Hardik | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+----------+

If you want to fetch all the fields of CUSTOMERS table, then use the following query:

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS;

This would produce the following result:

SQL - INSERT Query

The SQL INSERT INTO Statement is used to add new rows of data to a table in the database.

Syntax:
There are two basic syntaxes of INSERT INTO statement as follows:

INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME (column1, column2, column3,...columnN)]

VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...valueN);

Here, column1, column2,...columnN are the names of the columns in the table into which you want to
insert data.

You may not need to specify the column(s) name in the SQL query if you are adding values for all the
columns of the table. But make sure the order of the values is in the same order as the columns in the table.
The SQL INSERT INTO syntax would be as follows:

INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME VALUES (value1,value2,value3,...valueN);

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
30

Example:
Following statements would create six records in CUSTOMERS table:

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (1, 'Ramesh', 32, 'Ahmedabad', 2000.00 );

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (2, 'Khilan', 25, 'Delhi', 1500.00 );

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (3, 'kaushik', 23, 'Kota', 2000.00 );

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (4, 'Chaitali', 25, 'Mumbai', 6500.00 );

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (5, 'Hardik', 27, 'Bhopal', 8500.00 );

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS (ID,NAME,AGE,ADDRESS,SALARY)

VALUES (6, 'Komal', 22, 'MP', 4500.00 );

You can create a record in CUSTOMERS table using second syntax as follows:

INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS

VALUES (7, 'Muffy', 24, 'Indore', 10000.00 );

All the above statements would produce the following records in CUSTOMERS table:

| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |

| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

Populate one table using another table:

You can populate data into a table through select statement over another table provided another table has a
set of fields, which are required to populate first table. Here is the syntax:

INSERT INTO first_table_name [(column1, column2, ... columnN)]

SELECT column1, column2, ...columnN
FROM second_table_name
[WHERE condition];

Dynamic Insert Query:

Syntax:

Insert into <tablename> values(‘&attribute1’,’&attribute2’,…’&attributen’);

SQL - UPDATE Query

The SQL UPDATE Query is used to modify the existing records in a table.

You can use WHERE clause with UPDATE query to update selected rows otherwise all the rows would be
affected.

Syntax:
The basic syntax of UPDATE query with WHERE clause is as follows:

UPDATE table_name
SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2...., columnN = valueN
WHERE [condition];

You can combine N number of conditions using AND or OR operators.

Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
32

| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |

| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

Following is an example, which would update ADDRESS for a customer whose ID is 6:

SQL> UPDATE CUSTOMERS

SET ADDRESS = 'Pune'
WHERE ID = 6;

Now, CUSTOMERS table would have the following records:

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | Pune | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

If you want to modify all ADDRESS and SALARY column values in CUSTOMERS table, you do not
need to use WHERE clause and UPDATE query would be as follows:

SQL> UPDATE CUSTOMERS

SET ADDRESS = 'Pune', SALARY = 1000.00;

Now, CUSTOMERS table would have the following records:

+----+----------+-----+---------+---------+

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
33

| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |

+----+----------+-----+---------+---------+

| 6 | Komal | 22 | Pune | 1000.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Pune | 1000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+---------+---------+

SQL - DELETE Query

The SQL DELETE Query is used to delete the existing records from a table.

You can use WHERE clause with DELETE query to delete selected rows, otherwise all the records would
be deleted.

Syntax:
The basic syntax of DELETE query with WHERE clause is as follows:

DELETE FROM table_name

WHERE [condition];

You can combine N number of conditions using AND or OR operators.

Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
34

| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

Following is an example, which would DELETE a customer, whose ID is 6:

SQL> DELETE FROM CUSTOMERS

WHERE ID = 6;

Now, CUSTOMERS table would have the following records:

If you want to DELETE all the records from CUSTOMERS table, you do not need to use WHERE clause
and DELETE query would be as follows:

SQL> DELETE FROM CUSTOMERS;

Now, CUSTOMERS table would not have any record.

SQL - TRUNCATE TABLE Command

The SQL TRUNCATE TABLE command is used to delete complete data from an existing table.

Syntax:
The basic syntax of TRUNCATE TABLE is as follows:

TRUNCATE TABLE table_name;

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
35

Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:

Following is the example to truncate:

SQL > TRUNCATE TABLE CUSTOMERS;

Now, CUSTOMERS table is truncated and following would be the output from SELECT statement:

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS;

Empty set (0.00 sec)

SQL - Transactions
A transaction is a unit of work that is performed against a database. Transactions are units or sequences of
work accomplished in a logical order, whether in a manual fashion by a user or automatically by some sort
of a database program.

A transaction is the propagation of one or more changes to the database. For example, if you are creating a
record or updating a record or deleting a record from the table, then you are performing transaction on the
table. It is important to control transactions to ensure data integrity and to handle database errors.

Practically, you will club many SQL queries into a group and you will execute all of them together as a
part of a transaction.

Properties of Transactions:
Transactions have the following four standard properties, usually referred to by the acronym ACID:

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
36

• Atomicity: ensures that all operations within the work unit are completed successfully; otherwise, the
transaction is aborted at the point of failure, and previous operations are rolled back to their former state.

• Consistency: ensures that the database properly changes states upon a successfully committed transaction.

• Isolation: enables transactions to operate independently of and transparent to each other.

• Durability: ensures that the result or effect of a committed transaction persists in case of a system failure.

Transaction Control:
There are following commands used to control transactions:

• COMMIT: to save the changes.

• ROLLBACK: to rollback the changes.

• SAVEPOINT: creates points within groups of transactions in which to ROLLBACK

• SET TRANSACTION: Places a name on a transaction.

Transactional control commands are only used with the DML commands INSERT, UPDATE and
DELETE only. They can not be used while creating tables or dropping them because these operations are
automatically commited in the database.

The COMMIT Command:

The COMMIT command is the transactional command used to save changes invoked by a transaction to
the database.

The COMMIT command saves all transactions to the database since the last COMMIT or ROLLBACK
command.

The syntax for COMMIT command is as follows:

COMMIT;

Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:

| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |

| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

Following is the example which would delete records from the table having age = 25 and then COMMIT
the changes in the database.

SQL> DELETE FROM CUSTOMERS

WHERE AGE = 25;
SQL> COMMIT;

As a result, two rows from the table would be deleted and SELECT statement would produce the
following result:

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

The ROLLBACK Command:

The ROLLBACK command is the transactional command used to undo transactions that have not already
been saved to the database.

The ROLLBACK command can only be used to undo transactions since the last COMMIT or
ROLLBACK command was issued.

The syntax for ROLLBACK command is as follows:

ROLLBACK;

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
38

Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:

Following is the example, which would delete records from the table having age = 25 and then
ROLLBACK the changes in the database.

SQL> DELETE FROM CUSTOMERS

WHERE AGE = 25;
SQL> ROLLBACK;

As a result, delete operation would not impact the table and SELECT statement would produce the
following result:

The SAVEPOINT Command:

A SAVEPOINT is a point in a transaction when you can roll the transaction back to a certain point without
rolling back the entire transaction.

The syntax for SAVEPOINT command is as follows:

SAVEPOINT SAVEPOINT_NAME;

This command serves only in the creation of a SAVEPOINT among transactional statements. The
ROLLBACK command is used to undo a group of transactions.

The syntax for rolling back to a SAVEPOINT is as follows:

ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT_NAME;

Following is an example where you plan to delete the three different records from the CUSTOMERS table.
You want to create a SAVEPOINT before each delete, so that you can ROLLBACK to any SAVEPOINT
at any time to return the appropriate data to its original state:

Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:

Now, here is the series of operations:

SQL> SAVEPOINT SP1;

Savepoint created.
SQL> DELETE FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE ID=1;
1 row deleted.
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
40

SQL> SAVEPOINT SP2;

Savepoint created.
SQL> DELETE FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE ID=2;
1 row deleted.
SQL> SAVEPOINT SP3;
Savepoint created.
SQL> DELETE FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE ID=3;
1 row deleted.

Now that the three deletions have taken place, say you have changed your mind and decided to
ROLLBACK to the SAVEPOINT that you identified as SP2. Because SP2 was created after the first
deletion, the last two deletions are undone:

SQL> ROLLBACK TO SP2;

Rollback complete.

Notice that only the first deletion took place since you rolled back to SP2:

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS;

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
6 rows selected.

The RELEASE SAVEPOINT Command:

The RELEASE SAVEPOINT command is used to remove a SAVEPOINT that you have created.

The syntax for RELEASE SAVEPOINT is as follows:

RELEASE SAVEPOINT SAVEPOINT_NAME;

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
41

Once a SAVEPOINT has been released, you can no longer use the ROLLBACK command to undo
transactions performed since the SAVEPOINT.

The SET TRANSACTION Command:

The SET TRANSACTION command can be used to initiate a database transaction. This command is used
to specify characteristics for the transaction that follows.

For example, you can specify a transaction to be read only, or read write.

The syntax for SET TRANSACTION is as follows:

SET TRANSACTION [ READ WRITE | READ ONLY ];

SQL - AND and OR Conjunctive Operators

The SQL AND & OR operators are used to combine multiple conditions to narrow data in an SQL
statement. These two operators are called as the conjunctive operators.

These operators provide a means to make multiple comparisons with different operators in the same SQL
statement.

The AND Operator

The AND operator allows the existence of multiple conditions in an SQL statement's WHERE clause.

Syntax
The basic syntax of the AND operator with a WHERE clause is as follows −

SELECT column1, column2, columnN

FROM table_name
WHERE [condition1] AND [condition2]...AND [conditionN];
You can combine N number of conditions using the AND operator. For an action to be taken by the SQL
statement, whether it be a transaction or a query, all conditions separated by the AND must be TRUE.

Example
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records −

SQL> SELECT ID, NAME, SALARY

FROM CUSTOMERS

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
45

WHERE SALARY > 2000 AND age < 25;

This would produce the following result −

+----+-------+----------+
| ID | NAME | SALARY |
+----+-------+----------+
| 6 | Komal | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 10000.00 |
+----+-------+----------+
The OR Operator
The OR operator is used to combine multiple conditions in an SQL statement's WHERE clause.

Syntax
The basic syntax of the OR operator with a WHERE clause is as follows −

SELECT column1, column2, columnN

FROM table_name
WHERE [condition1] OR [condition2]...OR [conditionN]
You can combine N number of conditions using the OR operator. For an action to be taken by the SQL
statement, whether it be a transaction or query, the only any ONE of the conditions separated by the OR
must be TRUE.

Example
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records −

The following code block hasa query, which would fetch the ID, Name and Salary fields from the
CUSTOMERS table, where the salary is greater than 2000 and the age is less than 25 years.

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
46

SQL> SELECT ID, NAME, SALARY

FROM CUSTOMERS
WHERE SALARY > 2000 OR age < 25;

This would produce the following result −

+----+----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | SALARY |
+----+----------+----------+
| 3 | kaushik | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+----------+
The SQL LIKE Operator

The LIKE operator is used in a WHERE clause to search for a specified pattern in a column.

There are two wildcards used in conjunction with the LIKE operator:

• % - The percent sign represents zero, one, or multiple characters

• _ - The underscore represents a single character

Note: MS Access uses a question mark (?) instead of the underscore (_).

The percent sign and the underscore can also be used in combinations!

LIKE Syntax
SELECT column1,column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE columnN LIKE pattern;

Tip: You can also combine any number of conditions using AND or OR operators.

Here are some examples showing different LIKE operators with '%' and '_' wildcards:

LIKE Operator Description

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%' Finds any values that starts with "a"

WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%a' Finds any values that ends with "a"

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
47

WHERE CustomerName LIKE

Finds any values that have "or" in any position
'%or%'

WHERE CustomerName LIKE

Finds any values that have "r" in the second position
'_r%'

WHERE CustomerName LIKE Finds any values that starts with "a" and are at least 3 characters
'a_%_%' in length

WHERE ContactName LIKE 'a%o' Finds any values that starts with "a" and ends with "o"

SQL Wildcard Characters

A wildcard character is used to substitute any other character(s) in a string.

Wildcard characters are used with the SQL LIKE operator. The LIKE operator is used in a WHERE clause
to search for a specified pattern in a column.

There are two wildcards used in conjunction with the LIKE operator:

• % - The percent sign represents zero, one, or multiple characters

• _ - The underscore represents a single character

Note: MS Access uses a question mark (?) instead of the underscore (_).

In MS Access and SQL Server you can also use:

• [charlist] - Defines sets and ranges of characters to match

• [^charlist] or [!charlist] - Defines sets and ranges of characters NOT to match

The wildcards can also be used in combinations!

Here are some examples showing different LIKE operators with '%' and '_' wildcards:

LIKE Operator Description

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%' Finds any values that starts with "a"

WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%a' Finds any values that ends with "a"

WHERE CustomerName LIKE

Finds any values that have "or" in any position
'%or%'

WHERE CustomerName LIKE

Finds any values that have "r" in the second position
'_r%'

WHERE CustomerName LIKE Finds any values that starts with "a" and are at least 3 characters
'a_%_%' in length

WHERE ContactName LIKE 'a%o' Finds any values that starts with "a" and ends with "o"

Using the % Wildcard

The following SQL statement selects all customers with a City starting with "ber":

Example

SELECT * FROM Customers

WHERE City LIKE 'ber%';

The following SQL statement selects all customers with a City containing the pattern "es":

Example

SELECT * FROM Customers

WHERE City LIKE '%es%';
The SQL LIKE clause is used to compare a value to similar values using wildcard operators. There are
two wildcards used in conjunction with the LIKE operator.

• The percent sign (%)

• The underscore (_)
The percent sign represents zero, one or multiple characters. The underscore represents a single number or
character. These symbols can be used in combinations.

Syntax

The basic syntax of % and _ is as follows −

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
51

SELECT FROM table_name

WHERE column LIKE 'XXXX%'

SELECT FROM table_name

WHERE column LIKE '%XXXX%'

SELECT FROM table_name

WHERE column LIKE 'XXXX_'

SELECT FROM table_name

WHERE column LIKE '_XXXX'

SELECT FROM table_name

WHERE column LIKE '_XXXX_'
You can combine N number of conditions using AND or OR operators. Here, XXXX could be any
numeric or string value.

Example
The following table has a few examples showing the WHERE part having different LIKE clause with '%'
and '_' operators –

Sr.No. Statement & Description

WHERE SALARY LIKE '200%'

1
Finds any values that start with 200.

WHERE SALARY LIKE '%200%'

2
Finds any values that have 200 in any position.

WHERE SALARY LIKE '_00%'

3
Finds any values that have 00 in the second and third positions.

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
52

WHERE SALARY LIKE '2_%_%'

4
Finds any values that start with 2 and are at least 3 characters in length.

WHERE SALARY LIKE '%2'

5
Finds any values that end with 2.

WHERE SALARY LIKE '_2%3'

6
Finds any values that have a 2 in the second position and end with a 3.

WHERE SALARY LIKE '2___3'

7
Finds any values in a five-digit number that start with 2 and end with 3.

Let us take a real example, consider the CUSTOMERS table having the records as shown below.
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
Following is an example, which would display all the records from the CUSTOMERS table, where the
SALARY starts with 200.

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS

WHERE SALARY LIKE '200%';

This would produce the following result −

The SQL IN Operator

The IN operator allows you to specify multiple values in a WHERE clause.

The IN operator is a shorthand for multiple OR conditions.

IN Syntax

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name IN (value1, value2, ...);

or:

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name IN (SELECT STATEMENT);

SQL TOP, LIMIT or ROWNUM Clause

SQL - ORDER BY Clause

The SQL ORDER BY clause is used to sort the data in ascending or descending order, based on one or
more columns. Some databases sort the query results in an ascending order by default.

Syntax
The basic syntax of the ORDER BY clause is as follows −

SELECT column-list
FROM table_name
[WHERE condition]
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
57

[ORDER BY column1, column2, .. columnN] [ASC | DESC];

You can use more than one column in the ORDER BY clause. Make sure whatever column you are using
to sort that column should be in the column-list.

Example
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records –

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS

ORDER BY NAME, SALARY;

This would produce the following result −

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
The following code block has an example, which would sort the result in the descending order by NAME.

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
58

ORDER BY NAME DESC;

This would produce the following result −

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |

| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

SQL - Distinct Keyword

The SQL DISTINCT keyword is used in conjunction with the SELECT statement to eliminate all the
duplicate records and fetching only unique records.

There may be a situation when you have multiple duplicate records in a table. While fetching such records,
it makes more sense to fetch only those unique records instead of fetching duplicate records.

Syntax
The basic syntax of DISTINCT keyword to eliminate the duplicate records is as follows −

SELECT DISTINCT column1, column2,.....columnN

FROM table_name
WHERE [condition]
Example
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records −

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
First, let us see how the following SELECT query returns the duplicate salary records.

SQL> SELECT SALARY FROM CUSTOMERS

ORDER BY SALARY;

This would produce the following result, where the salary (2000) is coming twice which is a duplicate
record from the original table.

+----------+
| SALARY |
+----------+
| 1500.00 |
| 2000.00 |
| 2000.00 |
| 4500.00 |
| 6500.00 |
| 8500.00 |
| 10000.00 |
+----------+
Now, let us use the DISTINCT keyword with the above SELECT query and then see the result.

SQL> SELECT DISTINCT SALARY FROM CUSTOMERS

ORDER BY SALARY;

This would produce the following result where we do not have any duplicate entry.

+----------+
| SALARY |
+----------+
| 1500.00 |
| 2000.00 |
| 4500.00 |
| 6500.00 |
| 8500.00 |
| 10000.00 |
+----------+

SQL - SORTING Results

The SQL ORDER BY clause is used to sort the data in ascending or descending order, based on one or
more columns. Some databases sort the query results in an ascending order by default.

You can use more than one column in the ORDER BY clause. Make sure that whatever column you are
using to sort, that column should be in the column-list.

Example
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records −

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

The following code block has an example, which would sort the result in a descending order by NAME.

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS

ORDER BY NAME DESC;

This would produce the following result −

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

To fetch the rows with their own preferred order, the SELECT query used would be as follows −

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS

ORDER BY (CASE ADDRESS
WHEN 'DELHI' THEN 1
WHEN 'BHOPAL' THEN 2
WHEN 'KOTA' THEN 3
WHEN 'AHMADABAD' THEN 4
WHEN 'MP' THEN 5
ELSE 100 END) ASC, ADDRESS DESC;

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory

This would produce the following result −

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |

| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
This will sort the customers by ADDRESS in your ownoOrder of preference first and in a natural order
for the remaining addresses. Also, the remaining Addresses will be sorted in the reverse alphabetical order.

NESTED QUERIES AND QUERIES USING GROUP BY AND HAVING CLAUSE

LEARNING MATERIALS
The HAVING Clause

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
67

The HAVING clause was added to SQL because the WHERE keyword could not be used with aggregate
functions.

SQL HAVING Syntax

SELECT column_name, aggregate_function(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name operator value
GROUP BY column_name
HAVING aggregate_function(column_name) operator value;
Demo Database

In this tutorial we will use the well-known Northwind sample database.

Below is a selection from the "Orders" table:

OrderID CustomerID EmployeeID OrderDate ShipperID

10248 90 5 1996-07-04 3

10249 81 6 1996-07-05 1

10250 34 4 1996-07-08 2
And a selection from the "Employees" table:
EmployeeID LastName FirstName BirthDate Photo Notes

1 Davolio Nancy 1968-12- EmpID1.pic Education includes a

08 BA....

2 Fuller Andrew 1952-02- EmpID2.pic Andrew received his

19 BTS....

3 Leverling Janet 1963-08- EmpID3.pic Janet has a BS

30 degree....

SQL HAVING Example

Now we want to find if any of the employees has registered more than 10 orders.

We use the following SQL statement:

Example
SELECT Employees.LastName, COUNT(Orders.OrderID) AS NumberOfOrders FROM Orders
INNER JOIN Employees
ON Orders.EmployeeID=Employees.EmployeeID)
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
68

GROUP BY LastName
HAVING COUNT(Orders.OrderID) > 10;

Now we want to find if the employees "Davolio" or "Fuller" have registered more than 25 orders.

We add an ordinary WHERE clause to the SQL statement:

Example
SELECT Employees.LastName, COUNT(Orders.OrderID) AS NumberOfOrders FROM Orders
INNER JOIN Employees
ON Orders.EmployeeID=Employees.EmployeeID
WHERE LastName='Davolio' OR LastName='Fuller'
GROUP BY LastName
HAVING COUNT(Orders.OrderID) > 25;

SQL HAVING Clause

• HAVING filters records that work on summarized GROUP BY results.

• HAVING applies to summarized group records, whereas WHERE applies to individual records.
• Only the groups that meet the HAVING criteria will be returned.
• HAVING requires that a GROUP BY clause is present.
• WHERE and HAVING can be in the same query.

The SQL HAVING syntax

The general syntax is:

1. SELECT column-names
2. FROM table-name
3. WHERE condition
4. GROUP BY column-names
5. HAVING condition

The general syntax with ORDER BY is:

1. SELECT column-names
2. FROM table-name
3. WHERE condition
4. GROUP BY column-names
5. HAVING condition
6. ORDER BY column-names

SQL - Group By
The SQL GROUP BY clause is used in collaboration with the SELECT statement to arrange identical data
into groups.

The GROUP BY clause follows the WHERE clause in a SELECT statement and precedes the ORDER BY
clause.

Syntax:

The basic syntax of GROUP BY clause is given below. The GROUP BY clause must follow the
conditions in the WHERE clause and must precede the ORDER BY clause if one is used.

SELECT column1, column2

FROM table_name
WHERE [ conditions ]
GROUP BY column1, column2
ORDER BY column1, column2

Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table is having the following records:

If you want to know the total amount of salary on each customer, then GROUP BY query would be as
follows:
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
72

SQL> SELECT NAME, SUM(SALARY) FROM CUSTOMERS

GROUP BY NAME;

This would produce the following result:

+----------+-------------+
| NAME | SUM(SALARY) |
+----------+-------------+
| Chaitali | 6500.00 |
| Hardik | 8500.00 |
| kaushik | 2000.00 |
| Khilan | 1500.00 |
| Komal | 4500.00 |
| Muffy | 10000.00 |
| Ramesh | 2000.00 |
+----------+-------------+

Now, let us have following table where CUSTOMERS table has the following records with duplicate
names:

+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
| 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 |
| 2 | Ramesh | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 |
| 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 |
| 4 | kaushik | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 |
| 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 |
| 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 |
| 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 |
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

Now again, if you want to know the total amount of salary on each customer, then GROUP BY query
would be as follows:

SQL> SELECT NAME, SUM(SALARY) FROM CUSTOMERS

GROUP BY NAME;
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
73

This would produce the following result:

+---------+-------------+
| NAME | SUM(SALARY) |
+---------+-------------+
| Hardik | 8500.00 |
| kaushik | 8500.00 |
| Komal | 4500.00 |
| Muffy | 10000.00 |
| Ramesh | 3500.00 |

Ex.No:3 VIEWS, SEQUENCES, SYNONYMS

Pre Lab Materials

SQL CREATE VIEW Statement

In SQL, a view is a virtual table based on the result-set of an SQL statement.

A view contains rows and columns, just like a real table. The fields in a view are fields from one or more
real tables in the database.

You can add SQL functions, WHERE, and JOIN statements to a view and present the data as if the data
were coming from one single table.

CREATE VIEW Syntax

CREATE VIEW view_name AS

SELECT column1,column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

Note: A view always shows up-to-date data! The database engine recreates the data, using the view's SQL
statement, every time a user queries a view.

SQL CREATE VIEW Examples

If you have the Northwind database you can see that it has several views installed by default.

The view "Current Product List" lists all active products (products that are not discontinued) from the
"Products" table. The view is created with the following SQL:

CREATE VIEW [Current Product List] AS

SELECT ProductID, ProductName
FROM Products
WHERE Discontinued = No;

Then, we can query the view as follows:

SELECT * FROM [Current Product List];

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
81

Another view in the Northwind sample database selects every product in the "Products" table with a unit
price higher than the average unit price:

CREATE VIEW [Products Above Average Price] AS

SELECT ProductName, UnitPrice
FROM Products
WHERE UnitPrice > (SELECT AVG(UnitPrice) FROM Products);

We can query the view above as follows:

SELECT * FROM [Products Above Average Price];

Another view in the Northwind database calculates the total sale for each category in 1997. Note that this
view selects its data from another view called "Product Sales for 1997":

CREATE VIEW [Category Sales For 1997] AS

SELECT DISTINCT CategoryName, Sum(ProductSales) AS CategorySales
FROM [Product Sales for 1997]
GROUP BY CategoryName;

We can query the view above as follows:

SELECT * FROM [Category Sales For 1997];

We can also add a condition to the query. Let's see the total sale only for the category "Beverages":

SELECT * FROM [Category Sales For 1997]

WHERE CategoryName = 'Beverages';

SQL Updating a View

You can update a view by using the following syntax:

SQL CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW Syntax

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_name AS

SELECT column1,column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

Now we want to add the "Category" column to the "Current Product List" view. We will update the view
with the following SQL:
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
82

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW [Current Product List] AS

SELECT ProductID, ProductName, Category
FROM Products
WHERE Discontinued = No;
SQL Dropping a View

You can delete a view with the DROP VIEW command.

SQL DROP VIEW Syntax

DROP VIEW view_name;

SQL CREATE INDEX Statement
SQL CREATE INDEX Statement

The CREATE INDEX statement is used to create indexes in tables.

Indexes are used to retrieve data from the database very fast. The users cannot see the indexes, they are just
used to speed up searches/queries.

Note: Updating a table with indexes takes more time than updating a table without (because the indexes
also need an update). So, only create indexes on columns that will be frequently searched against.

CREATE INDEX Syntax

Creates an index on a table. Duplicate values are allowed:

CREATE INDEX index_name

ON table_name (column1, column2, ...);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Syntax

Creates a unique index on a table. Duplicate values are not allowed:

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX index_name

ON table_name (column1, column2, ...);

Note: The syntax for creating indexes varies among different databases. Therefore: Check the syntax for
creating indexes in your database.

CREATE INDEX Example

The SQL statement below creates an index named "idx_lastname" on the "LastName" column in the
"Persons" table:

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
83

CREATE INDEX idx_lastname

ON Persons (LastName);

If you want to create an index on a combination of columns, you can list the column names within the
parentheses, separated by commas:

CREATE INDEX idx_pname

ON Persons (LastName, FirstName);
DROP INDEX Statement

The DROP INDEX statement is used to delete an index in a table.

MS Access:

DROP INDEX index_name ON table_name;

SQL Server:

DROP INDEX table_name.index_name;

DB2/Oracle:

DROP INDEX index_name;

MySQL:

ALTER TABLE table_name

DROP INDEX index_name;

CREATE SYNONYM

Purpose

Use the CREATE SYNONYM statement to create a synonym, which is an alternative name for a table,
view, sequence, procedure, stored function, package, materialized view, Java class schema object, user-
defined object type, or another synonym.

Synonyms provide both data independence and location transparency. Synonyms permit applications to
function without modification regardless of which user owns the table or view and regardless of which
database holds the table or view. However, synonyms are not a substitute for privileges on database
objects. Appropriate privileges must be granted to a user before the user can use the synonym.

You can refer to synonyms in the following DML statements:

SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, FLASHBACK TABLE, EXPLAIN PLAN, and LOCK TABLE.
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
84

You can refer to synonyms in the following DDL statements: AUDIT, NOAUDIT, GRANT, REVOKE,
and COMMENT.

Prerequisites

To create a private synonym in your own schema, you must have the CREATE SYNONYM system
privilege.

To create a private synonym in another user's schema, you must have

the CREATE ANY SYNONYM system privilege.

To create a PUBLIC synonym, you must have the CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM system privilege.

Examples

CREATE SYNONYM: Examples To define the synonym offices for the table locations in the schema hr,
issue the following statement:

CREATE SYNONYM offices

FOR hr.locations;

To create a PUBLIC synonym for the employees table in the schema hr on the remote database, you could
issue the following statement:

CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM emp_table

FOR [email protected];

A synonym may have the same name as the underlying object, provided the underlying object is contained
in another schema.

Oracle Database Resolution of Synonyms: Example Oracle Database attempts to resolve references to
objects at the schema level before resolving them at the PUBLIC synonym level. For example, the
schemas oe and sh both contain tables named customers. In the next example, user SYSTEM creates
a PUBLIC synonym named customers foroe.customers:

CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM customers FOR oe.customers;

If the user sh then issues the following statement, then the database returns the count of rows
from sh.customers:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM customers;

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
85

To retrieve the count of rows from oe.customers, the user sh must preface customers with the schema
name. (The user sh must have select permission on oe.customers as well.)

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM oe.customers;

If the user hr's schema does not contain an object named customers, and if hr has select permission
on oe.customers, then hr can access thecustomers table in oe's schema by using the public
synonym customers:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM customers;

CREATE SEQUENCE

Purpose

Use the CREATE SEQUENCE statement to create a sequence, which is a database object from which
multiple users may generate unique integers. You can use sequences to automatically generate primary key
values.

When a sequence number is generated, the sequence is incremented, independent of the transaction
committing or rolling back. If two users concurrently increment the same sequence, then the sequence
numbers each user acquires may have gaps, because sequence numbers are being generated by the other
user. One user can never acquire the sequence number generated by another user. After a sequence value is
generated by one user, that user can continue to access that value regardless of whether the sequence is
incremented by another user.

Sequence numbers are generated independently of tables, so the same sequence can be used for one or for
multiple tables. It is possible that individual sequence numbers will appear to be skipped, because they
were generated and used in a transaction that ultimately rolled back. Additionally, a single user may not
realize that other users are drawing from the same sequence.

After a sequence is created, you can access its values in SQL statements with
the CURRVAL pseudocolumn, which returns the current value of the sequence, or
the NEXTVAL pseudocolumn, which increments the sequence and returns the new value.

Semantics

schema

Specify the schema to contain the sequence. If you omit schema, then Oracle Database creates the sequence
in your own schema.

sequence

Specify the name of the sequence to be created.

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
86

If you specify none of the following clauses, then you create an ascending sequence that starts with 1 and
increases by 1 with no upper limit. Specifying only INCREMENT BY -1 creates a descending sequence
that starts with -1 and decreases with no lower limit.

• To create a sequence that increments without bound, for ascending sequences, omit
the MAXVALUE parameter or specify NOMAXVALUE. For descending sequences, omit
the MINVALUE parameter or specify the NOMINVALUE.
• To create a sequence that stops at a predefined limit, for an ascending sequence, specify a value for
the MAXVALUE parameter. For a descending sequence, specify a value for the MINVALUE parameter.
Also specify NOCYCLE. Any attempt to generate a sequence number once the sequence has reached its
limit results in an error.
• To create a sequence that restarts after reaching a predefined limit, specify values for both
the MAXVALUE and MINVALUE parameters. Also specify CYCLE. If you do not specify MINVALUE,
then it defaults to NOMINVALUE, which is the value 1.

INCREMENT BY Specify the interval between sequence numbers. This integer value can be any positive
or negative integer, but it cannot be 0. This value can have 28 or fewer digits. The absolute of this value
must be less than the difference of MAXVALUE and MINVALUE. If this value is negative, then the
sequence descends. If the value is positive, then the sequence ascends. If you omit this clause, then the
interval defaults to 1.

START WITH Specify the first sequence number to be generated. Use this clause to start an ascending
sequence at a value greater than its minimum or to start a descending sequence at a value less than its
maximum. For ascending sequences, the default value is the minimum value of the sequence. For
descending sequences, the default value is the maximum value of the sequence. This integer value can have
28 or fewer digits.

Note:
This value is not necessarily the value to which an ascending cycling sequence cycles after reaching its
maximum or minimum value.

MAXVALUE Specify the maximum value the sequence can generate. This integer value can have 28 or
fewer digits. MAXVALUE must be equal to or greater thanSTART WITH and must be greater
than MINVALUE.

NOMAXVALUE Specify NOMAXVALUE to indicate a maximum value of 1027 for an ascending

sequence or -1 for a descending sequence. This is the default.

MINVALUE Specify the minimum value of the sequence. This integer value can have 28 or fewer
digits. MINVALUE must be less than or equal to START WITH and must be less than MAXVALUE.

NOMINVALUE Specify NOMINVALUE to indicate a minimum value of 1 for an ascending sequence or

-1026 for a descending sequence. This is the default.

CYCLE Specify CYCLE to indicate that the sequence continues to generate values after reaching either
its maximum or minimum value. After an ascending sequence reaches its maximum value, it generates its
minimum value. After a descending sequence reaches its minimum, it generates its maximum value.

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
87

NOCYCLE Specify NOCYCLE to indicate that the sequence cannot generate more values after reaching
its maximum or minimum value. This is the default.

CACHE Specify how many values of the sequence the database preallocates and keeps in memory for
faster access. This integer value can have 28 or fewer digits. The minimum value for this parameter is 2.
For sequences that cycle, this value must be less than the number of values in the cycle. You cannot cache
more values than will fit in a given cycle of sequence numbers. Therefore, the maximum value allowed
for CACHE must be less than the value determined by the following formula:

(CEIL (MAXVALUE - MINVALUE)) / ABS (INCREMENT)

If a system failure occurs, then all cached sequence values that have not been used in committed DML
statements are lost. The potential number of lost values is equal to the value of the CACHE parameter.

Note:
Oracle recommends using the CACHE setting to enhance performance if you are using sequences in an
Oracle Real Application Clusters environment.

NOCACHE Specify NOCACHE to indicate that values of the sequence are not preallocated. If you omit
both CACHE and NOCACHE, then the database caches 20 sequence numbers by default.

ORDER Specify ORDER to guarantee that sequence numbers are generated in order of request. This
clause is useful if you are using the sequence numbers as timestamps. Guaranteeing order is usually not
important for sequences used to generate primary keys.

ORDER is necessary only to guarantee ordered generation if you are using Oracle Real Application
Clusters. If you are using exclusive mode, then sequence numbers are always generated in order.

NOORDER Specify NOORDER if you do not want to guarantee sequence numbers are generated in order
of request. This is the default.

Example

Creating a Sequence: Example The following statement creates the sequence customers_seq in the
sample schema oe. This sequence could be used to provide customer ID numbers when rows are added to
the customers table.

CREATE SEQUENCE customers_seq

START WITH 1000

INCREMENT BY 1

NOCACHE

NOCYCLE;

The first reference to customers_seq.nextval returns 1000. The second returns 1001. Each subsequent
reference will return a value 1 greater than the previous reference.
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
88

DROP SEQUENCE

Purpose

Use the DROP SEQUENCE statement to remove a sequence from the database.

You can also use this statement to restart a sequence by dropping and then re-creating it. For example, if
you have a sequence with a current value of 150 and you would like to restart the sequence with a value of
27, then you can drop the sequence and then re-create it with the same name and aSTART WITH value of
27.

Example

Dropping a Sequence: Example The following statement drops the sequence customers_seq owned by
the user oe, which was created in "Creating a Sequence: Example". To issue this statement, you must either
be connected as user oe or have the DROP ANY SEQUENCE system privilege:

DROP SEQUENCE oe.customers_seq;

ALTER SEQUENCE

Purpose

Use the ALTER SEQUENCE statement to change the increment, minimum and maximum values, cached
numbers, and behavior of an existing sequence. This statement affects only future sequence numbers.

Examples

Modifying a Sequence: Examples This statement sets a new maximum value for
the customers_seq sequence, which was created in "Creating a Sequence: Example":

ALTER SEQUENCE customers_seq

MAXVALUE 1500;

This statement turns on CYCLE and CACHE for the customers_seq sequence:

ALTER SEQUENCE customers_seq

CYCLE

CACHE 5;

Finding the next value of a sequence: Example This example selects the next value of the employee
sequence in the sample schema hr:

SELECT employees_seq.nextval

FROM DUAL;
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
89

Inserting sequence values into a table: Example This example increments the employee sequence and
uses its value for a new employee inserted into the sample table hr.employees:

INSERT INTO employees

VALUES (employees_seq.nextval, 'John', 'Doe', 'jdoe',

'555-1212', TO_DATE(SYSDATE), 'PU_CLERK', 2500, null, null,

30);

Reusing the current value of a sequence:

Example This example adds a new order with the next order number to the master order table. It then adds
suborders with this number to the detail order table:

INSERT INTO orders (order_id, order_date, customer_id)

VALUES (orders_seq.nextval, TO_DATE(SYSDATE), 106);

INSERT INTO order_items (order_id, line_item_id, product_id)

VALUES (orders_seq.currval, 1, 2359);

INSERT INTO order_items (order_id, line_item_id, product_id)

VALUES (orders_seq.currval, 2, 3290);

INSERT INTO order_items (order_id, line_item_id, product_id)

VALUES (orders_seq.currval, 3, 2381);

Ex.No: 4 Oracle PL/SQL Cursor: Implicit, Explicit, Cursor FOR Loop [Example]

LEARNING MATERILA

What is CURSOR in PL/SQL?

A Cursor is a pointer to this context area. Oracle creates context area for processing an SQL statement
which contains all information about the statement.

PL/SQL allows the programmer to control the context area through the cursor. A cursor holds the rows
returned by the SQL statement. The set of rows the cursor holds is referred as active set. These cursors
can also be named so that they can be referred from another place of the code.

In this tutorial you will learn-

• Implicit Cursor

• Explicit Cursor

• Cursor Attributes

• FOR Loop Cursor statement

The cursor is of two types.

• Implicit Cursor

• Explicit Cursor

Implicit Cursor

Whenever any DML operations occur in the database, an implicit cursor is created that holds the rows
affected, in that particular operation. These cursors cannot be named and, hence they cannot be controlled
or referred from another place of the code. We can refer only to the most recent cursor through the cursor
attributes.

Explicit Cursor

Programmers are allowed to create named context area to execute their DML operations to get more
control over it. The explicit cursor should be defined in the declaration section of the PL/SQL block, and
it is created for the 'SELECT' statement that needs to be used in the code.

Below are steps that involved in working with explicit cursors.

• Declaring the cursor

Declaring the cursor simply means to create one named context area for the 'SELECT' statement that is
defined in the declaration part. The name of this context area is same as the cursor name.

• Opening Cursor

Opening the cursor will instruct the PL/SQL to allocate the memory for this cursor. It will make the
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
93

cursor ready to fetch the records.

• Fetching Data from the Cursor

In this process, the 'SELECT' statement is executed and the rows fetched is stored in the allocated
memory. These are now called as active sets. Fetching data from the cursor is a record-level activity that
means we can access the data in a record-by-record way.

Each fetch statement will fetch one active set and holds the information of that particular record. This
statement is same as 'SELECT' statement that fetches the record and assigns to the variable in the 'INTO'
clause, but it will not throw any exceptions.

• Closing the Cursor

Once all the record is fetched now, we need to close the cursor so that the memory allocated to this
context area will be released.

Syntax:

DECLARE

CURSOR <cursor_name> IS <SELECT statement^>

<cursor_variable declaration>

BEGIN

OPEN <cursor_name>;

FETCH <cursor_name> INTO <cursor_variable>;

CLOSE <cursor_name>;

END;

• In the above syntax, the declaration part contains the declaration of the cursor and the cursor variable in
which the fetched data will be assigned.

• The cursor is created for the 'SELECT' statement that is given in the cursor declaration.

• In execution part, the declared cursor is opened, fetched and closed.

Cursor Attributes

Both Implicit cursor and the explicit cursor has certain attributes that can be accessed. These attributes
give more information about the cursor operations. Below are the different cursor attributes and their
usage.

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
94

Cursor Description
Attribute

%FOUND It returns the Boolean result 'TRUE' if the most recent fetch
operation fetched a record successfully, else it will return FALSE.

%NOTFOUND This works oppositely to %FOUND it will return 'TRUE' if the most
recent fetch operation could not able to fetch any record.

%ISOPEN It returns Boolean result 'TRUE' if the given cursor is already

opened, else it returns 'FALSE'

%ROWCOUNT It returns the numerical value. It gives the actual count of records
that got affected by the DML activity.
Example 1: In this example, we are going to see how to declare, open, fetch and close the explicit cursor.

We will project all the employee's name from emp table using a cursor. We will also use cursor attribute
to set the loop to fetch all the record from the cursor.

DECLARE

CURSOR guru99_det IS SELECT emp_name FROM emp;

lv_emp_name emp.emp_name%type;

BEGIN

OPEN guru99_det;
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
95

LOOP

FETCH guru99_det INTO lv_emp_name;

IF guru99_det%NOTFOUND

THEN

EXIT;

END IF;

Dbms_output.put_line(‘Employee Fetched:‘||lv_emp_name);

END LOOP;

Dbms_output.put_line(‘Total rows fetched is‘||guru99_det%R0WCOUNT);

CLOSE guru99_det;

END:

Output

Employee Fetched:BBB

Employee Fetched:XXX

Employee Fetched:YYY

Total rows fetched is 3

Code Explanation:

• Code line 2: Declaring the cursor guru99_det for statement 'SELECT emp_name FROM emp'.

• Code line 3: Declaring variable lv_emp_name.

• Code line 5: Opening the cursor guru99_det.

• Code line 6: Setting the Basic loop statement to fetch all the records in the 'emp' table.

• Code line 7: Fetches the guru99_det data and assign the value to lv_emp_name.

• Code line 9: Using the cursor attribute '%NOTFOUND' to find whether all the record in the cursor
is fetched. If fetched then it will return 'TRUE' and control will exit from the loop, else the control
will keep on fetching the data from the cursor and print the data.

• Code line 11: EXIT condition for the loop statement.

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
96

• Code line 12: Print the fetched employee name.

• Code line 14: Using the cursor attribute '%ROWCOUNT' to find the total number of records that got
affected/fetched in the cursor.

• Code line 15: After exiting from the loop the cursor is closed and the memory allocated is set free.

FOR Loop Cursor statement

"FOR LOOP" statement can be used for working with cursors. We can give the cursor name instead of
range limit in the FOR loop statement so that the loop will work from the first record of the cursor to the
last record of the cursor. The cursor variable, opening of cursor, fetching and closing of the cursor will be
done implicitly by the FOR loop.

Syntax:

DECLARE

CURSOR <cursor_name> IS <SELECT statement>;

BEGIN

FOR I IN <cursor_name>

LOOP

END LOOP;

END;

• In the above syntax, the declaration part contains the declaration of the cursor.

• The cursor is created for the 'SELECT' statement that is given in the cursor declaration.

• In execution part, the declared cursor is setup in the FOR loop and the loop variable 'I' will behave as
cursor variable in this case.

Example 1: In this example, we will project all the employee name from emp table using a cursor-FOR
loop.

DECLARE

CURSOR guru99_det IS SELECT emp_name FROM emp;

BEGIN

FOR lv_emp_name IN guru99_det

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
97

LOOP

Dbms_output.put_line(‘Employee Fetched:‘||lv_emp_name);

END LOOP;

END;

Output

Employee Fetched:BBB

Employee Fetched:XXX

Employee Fetched:YYY

Code Explanation:

• Code line 2: Declaring the cursor guru99_det for statement 'SELECT emp_name FROM emp'.

• Code line 4: Constructing the 'FOR' loop for the cursor with the loop variable lv_emp_name.

• Code line 5: Printing the employee name in each iteration of the loop.

• Code line 8: Exit the loop

Note: In Cursor-FOR loop, cursor attributes cannot be used since opening, fetching and closing of the
cursor is done implicitly by FOR loop.

Ex.No:5. . Procedures and Functions

PROCEDURES
LEARNING MATERIAL:
An Oracle stored procedure is a program stored in an Oracle database. The following are the
advantages of using procedures.
Better performance: Oracle stored procedures load once into the shared pool and remain there
unless they become paged out. Subsequent executions of the Oracle stored procedure are far faster than
executions of external code.
Coupling of data with behaviour: DBAs can use naming conventions to couple relational tables
with the behaviors associated with a table by using Oracle stored procedures as "methods". If all
behaviors associated with the employee table are prefixed with the table name--employee.hire,
employee.give_raise, for example--the data dictionary can be queries to list all behaviors associated with
a table (select * from dba_objects where owner = 'EMPLOYEE'), and it's easy to identify and reuse code
via stored procedures.
Isolation of code: Since all SQL is moved out of the external programs and into the Oracle stored
procedures, the application programs become nothing more than calls to Oracle stored procedures. As
such, it becomes very simple to swap out one database and swap in another one.

Ex.No:6. TRIGGERS

PL/SQL TRIGGERS:
Triggers are stored programs, which are automatically executed or fired when some events occur. Triggers
are, in fact, written to be executed in response to any of the following events:
A database manipulation (DML) statement (DELETE, INSERT, or UPDATE).
A database definition (DDL) statement (CREATE, ALTER, or DROP).
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
108

A database operation (SERVERERROR, LOGON, LOGOFF, STARTUP, or SHUTDOWN).

Triggers could be defined on the table, view, schema, or database with which the event is associated.
Benefits of Triggers
Generating some derived column values automatically
Enforcing referential integrity
Event logging and storing information on table access
Auditing
Synchronous replication of tables
Imposing security authorizations
Preventing invalid transactions.

SYNTAX:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER < trigger_name >
{BEFORE | AFTER | INSTEAD OF }
{INSERT [OR] | UPDATE [OR] | DELETE} [OF col_name]
ON < table_name >
[REFERENCING OLD AS o NEW AS n]
[FOR EACH ROW]
WHEN < condition >
DECLARE
< Declaration-statements >
BEGIN
< Executable-statements >
EXCEPTION
< Exception-handling-statements >
END;
A typical trigger has 3 main components
1. Triggering SQL Statement: - This is the DML statement which causes the triggers to be invoked. That
is it tells when to call the trigger – before or after, on which DML statement of the table – INSERT/
UPDATE/ DELETE and whether to call trigger when whole table is processed or only few columns are
processed. BEFORE and AFTER is used on tables and INSTEAD OF is used on views to create triggers.

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
109

2. Trigger Restriction: - This is the part of trigger which tells how many times the trigger needs to be
executed. It informs, if the trigger has to be called for each row insert /update/delete, or only once for the
transaction.
3. Trigger Action: - This part will actually perform set of transaction as result of original DML statement.

Ex.No:7. EXCEPTION HANDLING

PRELAB MATERIAL
An exception is an error condition during a program execution. PL/SQL supports programmers to catch
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
113

such conditions using EXCEPTION block in the program and an appropriate action is taken against the
error condition. There are two types of exceptions −
• System-defined exceptions
• User-defined exceptions
Syntax for Exception Handling
The general syntax for exception handling is as follows. Here you can list down as many exceptions as
you can handle. The default exception will be handled using WHEN others THEN −
DECLARE
<declarations section>
BEGIN
<executable command(s)>
EXCEPTION
<exception handling goes here >
WHEN exception1 THEN
exception1-handling-statements
WHEN exception2 THEN
exception2-handling-statements
WHEN exception3 THEN
exception3-handling-statements
........
WHEN others THEN
exception3-handling-statements
END;
Raising Exceptions
Exceptions are raised by the database server automatically whenever there is any internal database error,
but exceptions can be raised explicitly by the programmer by using the command RAISE. Following is
the simple syntax for raising an exception −
DECLARE
exception_name EXCEPTION;
BEGIN
IF condition THEN
RAISE exception_name;
END IF;
Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
114

EXCEPTION
WHEN exception_name THEN
statement;
END;
User-defined Exceptions
PL/SQL allows you to define your own exceptions according to the need of your program. A user-defined
exception must be declared and then raised explicitly, using either a RAISE statement or the procedure
DBMS_STANDARD.RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR.
The syntax for declaring an exception is −
DECLARE
my-exception EXCEPTION;

Pre-defined Exceptions

PL/SQL provides many pre-defined exceptions, which are executed when any database rule is violated by a
program. For example, the predefined exception NO_DATA_FOUND is raised when a SELECT INTO
statement returns no rows. The following table lists few of the important pre-defined exceptions

Exception Description
ACCESS_INTO_NULL It is raised when a null object is automatically assigned a value.
It is raised when none of the choices in the WHEN clause of a
CASE_NOT_FOUND
CASE statement is selected, and there is no ELSE clause.
It is raised when a program attempts to apply collection methods
other than EXISTS to an uninitialized nested table, or the program
COLLECTION_IS_NULL
attempts to assign values to the elements of an uninitialized nested
table
It is raised when duplicate values are attempted to be stored in a
DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX
column with unique index.
It is raised when attempts are made to make a cursor operation that
INVALID_CURSOR
is not allowed, such as closing an unopened cursor.
It is raised when the conversion of a character string into a number
INVALID_NUMBER
fails because the string does not represent a valid number.
LOGIN_DENIED It is raised when a program attempts to log on to the database with

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
115

an invalid username or password.

NO_DATA_FOUND It is raised when a SELECT INTO statement returns no rows.
It is raised when a database call is issued without being connected
NOT_LOGGED_ON
to the database.
PROGRAM_ERROR It is raised when PL/SQL has an internal problem.
It is raised when a cursor fetches value in a variable having
ROWTYPE_MISMATCH
incompatible data type.
It is raised when a member method is invoked, but the instance of
SELF_IS_NULL
the object type was not initialized.
It is raised when PL/SQL ran out of memory or memory was
STORAGE_ERROR
corrupted.

IMPLEMENTATION FOR ANY APPLICATION

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
120

PRE LAB MATERIAL:

NORMALIZATION
Normalization is the analysis of functional dependencies between attributes/data items of user
views. It reduces a complex user view to a set of small and stable subgroups of the fields and relations.
This process helps to design a logical data model known as conceptual data model.
There are different normal forms
1. First Normal Form(1NF)
2. Second Normal Form(2NF)
3. Third Normal Form(3NF)
FIRST NORMAL FORM (1NF)
1NF states that the domain of an attribute must include only atomic values and that value of any
attribute in a tuple must be a single value from the domain of that attribute. Hence 1NF disallows
multivalued attributes, composite attributes. It disallows “relations within relations”.
SECOND NORMAL FORM (2NF)
A relation is said to be in 2NF if it is already in 1NF and it has no partial dependency. 2NF is based
on the concept of full functional dependency.
A functional dependency(FD) x→y is fully functional dependency is (x-(A))→y does not hold
dependency any more if A→x.
A functional dependency x→y is partial dependency if A can be removed which does not affect the
dependency ie (x-(A))→y holds.
A relation is in 2NF if it is in 1NF and every non-primary key attribute is fully and functionally
dependent on primary key.
A relation is in 1NF will be in the 2NF if one of the following conditions is satisfied:
1. The primary key consist of only one attribute.
2. No non-key attribute exist in relation ie all the attributes in the relation are components of the primary
key.
Every non-key attribute is functionally dependent on full set of primary key attributes.

THIRD NORMAL FORM (3NF)

A relation is said to be in 3NF if it is already in 2NF and it has no transitive dependency.
A FD x→y in a relation schema R is a transitive dependency if there is a set of attributes z that is
neither a candidate key nor a subset of any key of the relation and both x→z and z→y hold.

Entity relationship diagram (ERD):

An entity relationship diagram (ERD) shows the relationships of entity sets stored in a database. An
entity in this context is an object, a component of data. An entity set is a collection of similar entities.
These entities can have attributes that define its properties.

Ex.No: 9. Generation of Forms Using Oracle Form Builder

Pre Lab Material:

Use Form Builder to simplify for the creation of data-entry screens, also known as Forms. Forms are the
applications that connect to a database, retrieve information requested by the user, present it in a layout

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
127

specified by Form designer, and allow the user to modify or add information. Form Builder allows you
to build forms quickly and easily.

Form Builder Tool

Open the "Form Builder" tool.

Welcome window

You will get the ‘Welcome to the Form Builder’ window. If you don’t want to get this window anymore
uncheck the ‘Display at startup’ box. You can start your work with any of the following options:

• Use the data Block Wizard

• Build a new form manually
• Open an existing form

Build a form based on a template

The default is ‘Use the data Block Wizard.’ If you want to build a new form manually, click on
"Cancel”or check ‘Build a new form manually’ and click ‘OK.’

Connect to database

In the ‘Object Navigator’ window, highlight "Database Objects." Go to the Main menu and choose

"File," then "Connect."

In the ‘Connect’ window, login in as “scott” password “tiger,” then click “CONNECT.”

Notice that the box next to ‘Database Objects’ is not empty anymore and it has a ‘+’ sign in it.

That will indicate that this item is expandable and you are able to see its entire objects.

Click on the ‘+’ sign next to the ‘Database Objects’ to expand all database schemas.

Create a Module

In the ‘Object Navigator’ window, highlight module1. This is a default name. Go to the Main menu and
choose “File,” select “Save as” to store the new object in the “iself” folder and save it as customer data
entry. "c:_de." In this example the ‘DE’ abbreviation stands for Data Entry.

Create a Data Block

In the ‘Object Navigator’ window, highlight "Data Blocks,” and click on the "create” icon. The ‘Create’
icon is in the vertical tool bar in the ‘Object Navigator’ window. It is a green ‘+’ sign. If you drag your
cursor on the icon a tooltip will show ‘Create.’

Lab Learning Materials II CSE/IV SEM CS8481 Database Management Systems Laboratory
128

New Data Block

In the ‘New Data Block’ window, choose the default option “Data Block Wizard” and click "OK."

Welcome Data Block

Ex.No:11 PL/SQL BLOCK

PRELAB MATERIAL:

PL/SQL BLOCK:
PL/SQL is a block-structured language, meaning that PL/SQL programs are divided and written
in logical blocks of code. Each block consists of three sub-parts:
1. Declarations: This section starts with the keyword DECLARE. It is an optional section and defines all
variables, cursors, subprograms, and other elements to be used in the program.
2: Executable Commands: This section is enclosed between the keywords BEGIN and END and it is a
mandatory section. It consists of the executable PL/SQL statements of the program. It should have at
least one executable line of code, which may be just a NULL command to indicate that nothing should be
executed.
3: Exception Handling: This section starts with the keyword EXCEPTION. This section is again optional
and contains exception(s) that handle errors in the program.
Every PL/SQL statement ends with a semicolon (;). PL/SQL blocks can be nested within other PL/SQL
blocks using BEGIN and END.
SYNTAX:
DECLARE
<declarations section>
BEGIN
<executable command(s)>
EXCEPTION
<exception handling>
END;

PRELAB QUESTIONS:
1. What is the need for PL/SQL block?
2. Give the syntax of PL/SQL block?

Ex.No:12 CREATING INDEX

PRELAB MATERIAL
Indexes are special lookup tables that the database search engine can use to speed up data retrieval.
An index is a pointer to data in a table. An index in a database is very similar to an index in the back of a
book. An index helps speed up SELECT queries and WHERE clauses, but it slows down data input, with
UPDATE and INSERT statements. Indexes can be created or dropped with no effect on the data. Index in
sql is created on existing tables to retrieve the rows quickly. When there are thousands of records in a table,
retrieving information will take a long time. When an index is created, it first sorts the data and then it
assigns a ROWID for each row.
An index can be created in a table to find data more quickly and efficiently.
The users cannot see the indexes, they are just used to speed up searches/queries
Syntax to create Index
CREATE INDEX index_name ON table_name (column_name1,column_name2...);
Syntax to create SQL unique index
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX index_name ON table_name (column_name1, column_name2...);
•index_name is the name of the INDEX.
•table_name is the name of the table to which the indexed column belongs.
•column_name1, column_name2.. is the list of columns which make up the INDEX.
The Drop Index Command
An index can be dropped using SQL DROP command. Care should be taken when dropping an
index because performance may be slowed or improved.
DROP INDEX index_name;
PRE LAB QUESTIONS
1. What is an index?
2. What are the types of index?
3. Give the advantages of index.
4. Give the difference between dense and sparse index.
5. What is the use of unique keyword in creating index?
6. What is function based index?
7. Give the syntax for creating a index.
8. How to perform DML operations in a view?
9. How to create multiple table views?
10. Are views are temporary?
