The document discusses MySQL, a popular open-source relational database management system (RDBMS). Key topics covered include: - MySQL allows users to organize data into tables with rows and columns and uses Structured Query Language (SQL) to manage the database. - The MySQL server listens for client requests to access and manipulate database contents using SQL statements like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and queries. - SQL statements are classified into data definition language, data manipulation language, and transaction control language based on their usage.

Database

 A database is an organised collection of data.

 Software used to manage databases is called Data

Base Management System (DBMS).


Relational Database

 A database in which the data is stored in the form of


relations (also called tables) is called a Relational
Database.

 In other words a Relational Database is a collection


of one or more tables.
RDBMS 

 A DBMS used to manage Relational Databases is


called an RDBMS (Relational Data Base Management
System).

 Some popular RDBMS software available are: Oracle,


MySQL, Sybase, Ingress
Benefits of using a DBMS are

  a. Redundancy can be controlled

  b. Inconsistence can be avoided

  c. Data can be shared

  d. Security restrictions can be applied.


Relation/Table 

 A table refers to a two dimensional representation of


data arranged in columns (also called fields or
attributes) and rows (also called records or tuples). E
Domain

 It is a pool of values from which the actual values

appearing in a given column are drawn


Tuples

 A row of a relation is generally referred to as a tuple.


Attribute

 A Column of a relation is generally referred to as an

attribute.
Degree

 Degree of a table is the number of columns in the


table.
Cardinality

 Cardinality of a table is the number of rows in a


table.
View

 It is a virtual table that does not really exit in its own

right but it instead derived from one or more

underlying base tables


Key 

 A column or a combination of columns which can be

used to identify one or more rows (tuples) in a table is

called a key of the table.


Primary Key

 The group of one or more columns used to uniquely

identify each row of a relation is called its Primary

Key.
Candidate Key

 A column or a group of columns which can be used

as the primary key of a relation is called a candidate

key because it is one of the candidates available to be

the primary key of the relation


Alternate Key 

 A candidate key of a table which is not made its

primary key is called its Alternate Key. H


Foreign Key

 A non-key attribute, whose values are derived from

the primary key of some other table is known as

foreign key.
MySQL 

 It is an Open Source RDBMS Software.

 It is available free of cost.


MySQL Database System

 The Server (My SQL Server) : listens for client request coming in over
the network and accesses database contents according to those request
and provides that to the clients.

 Client : client are programs that connect to the Database Server and
issue queries in a pre-specified format.
MySQL and SQL

 My SQL: In order to access data within the MySQL


database, all Programs and users must use,
Structured Query Languages(SQL).

 SQL: The Structured Query Language(SQL) is a


Language that enables you to create and operate on
relational database.
Classification of SQL Statements
 DDL (Data Definition Language): This is a category of SQL commands. All the
commands which are used to create, destroy, or restructure databases and
tables come under this category. Examples of DDL commands are - CREATE,
DROP, ALTER.

 DML (Data Manipulation Language): This is a category of SQL commands. All


the commands which are used to manipulate data within tables come under
this category. Examples of DML commands are - INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE.

 TCL (Transaction Control Language): This is a category of SQL commands. All


the commands which are used to control the access to databases and tables fall
under this category. Examples of DCL commands are - GRANT, REVOKE.
