Objectives
 Purpose and importance of SQL.
 How to retrieve data from database using SELECT and:
– Use compound WHERE conditions.
– Sort query results using ORDER BY.
– Use aggregate functions.
– Group data using GROUP BY and HAVING.
– Use subqueries
 Join tables together.
– Perform set operations (UNION, INTERSECT,
EXCEPT).
 How to update database using INSERT, UPDATE, and
DELETE.

3
Objectives of SQL
 Ideally, database language should allow user to:
– create the database and relation structures;
– perform insertion, modification, deletion of data
from relations;
– perform simple and complex queries.
 Must perform these tasks with minimal user effort and
command structure/syntax must be easy to learn.
 It must be portable.

4
Objectives of SQL
 SQL is a transform-oriented language with 2
major components:
– A DDL for defining database structure.
– A DML for retrieving and updating data.
 Until SQL:1999, SQL did not contain flow of
control commands. These had to be
implemented using a programming or job-
control language, or interactively by the
decisions of user.

5
Objectives of SQL
 SQL is relatively easy to learn:
– it is non-procedural - you specify what
information you require, rather than how to
get it;
– it is essentially free-format.

6
Objectives of SQL
 Consists of standard English words:
1) CREATE TABLE Staff
(staffNo VARCHAR(5),
lName VARCHAR(15),
salary DECIMAL(7,2));
2) INSERT INTO Staff VALUES (‘SG16’, ‘Brown’,
8300);
3) SELECT staffNo, lName, salary
FROM Staff
WHERE salary > 10000;

7
Objectives of SQL
 Can be used by range of users including DBAs,
management, application developers, and other
types of end users.
 An ISO standard now exists for SQL, making it
both the formal and de facto standard language
for relational databases.

8
History of SQL
 In 1974, D. Chamberlin (IBM San Jose
Laboratory) defined language called
‘Structured English Query Language’
(SEQUEL).
 A revised version, SEQUEL/2, was defined in
1976 but name was subsequently changed to
SQL for legal reasons.

9
History of SQL
 Still pronounced ‘see-quel’, though official
pronunciation is ‘S-Q-L’.
 IBM subsequently produced a prototype DBMS
called System R, based on SEQUEL/2.
 Roots of SQL, however, are in SQUARE
(Specifying Queries as Relational Expressions),
which predates System R project.

10
History of SQL
 In late 70s, ORACLE appeared and was probably first
commercial RDBMS based on SQL.
 In 1987, ANSI and ISO published an initial standard for
SQL.
 In 1989, ISO published an addendum that defined an
‘Integrity Enhancement Feature’.
 In 1992, first major revision to ISO standard occurred,
referred to as SQL2 or SQL/92.
 In 1999, SQL:1999 was released with support for object-
oriented data management.
 In late 2003, SQL:2003 was released.

11
Importance of SQL
 SQL has become part of application
architectures such as IBM’s Systems Application
Architecture.
 It is strategic choice of many large and
influential organizations (e.g. X/OPEN).
 SQL is Federal Information Processing
Standard (FIPS) to which conformance is
required for all sales of databases to American
Government.

12
Importance of SQL
 SQL is used in other standards and even
influences development of other standards as a
definitional tool. Examples include:
– ISO’s Information Resource Directory
System (IRDS) Standard
– Remote Data Access (RDA) Standard.

13
Writing SQL Commands
 SQL statement consists of reserved words and
user-defined words.
– Reserved words are a fixed part of SQL and
must be spelt exactly as required and cannot be
split across lines.
– User-defined words are made up by user and
represent names of various database objects
such as relations, columns, views.

14
 Most components of an SQL statement are case
insensitive, except for literal character data.
 More readable with indentation and lineation:
– Each clause should begin on a new line.
– Start of a clause should line up with start of other
clauses.
– If clause has several parts, should each appear on a
separate line and be indented under start of clause.

15
 Use extended form of BNF notation:
- Upper-case letters represent reserved words.
- Lower-case letters represent user-defined words.
- | indicates a choice among alternatives.
- Curly braces indicate a required element.
- Square brackets indicate an optional element.
- … indicates optional repetition (0 or more).

16
Literals
 Literals are constants used in SQL statements.
 All non-numeric literals must be enclosed in
single quotes (e.g. ‘London’).
 All numeric literals must not be enclosed in
quotes (e.g. 650.00).

17
SELECT Statement
SELECT [DISTINCT | ALL]
{* | [columnExpression [AS newName]] [,...] }
FROM TableName [alias] [, ...]
[WHERE condition]
[GROUP BY columnList] [HAVING condition]
[ORDER BY columnList]

18
SELECT Statement
FROM Specifies table(s) to be used.
WHERE Filters rows.
GROUP BY Forms groups of rows with
same column value.
HAVING Filters groups subject to some
condition.
SELECT Specifies which columns are to
appear in output.
ORDER BY Specifies the order of the
output.

19
SELECT Statement
 Order of the clauses cannot be changed.
 Only SELECT and FROM are mandatory.

20
Example 5.1 All Columns, All Rows
List full details of all staff.
SELECT staffNo, fName, lName, address,
position, sex, DOB, salary, branchNo
FROM Staff;
 Can use * as an abbreviation for ‘all columns’:
SELECT *
FROM Staff;

21
Example 5.1 All Columns, All Rows

22
Example 5.2 Specific Columns, All Rows
Produce a list of salaries for all staff, showing
only staff number, first and last names, and
salary.
SELECT staffNo, fName, lName, salary
FROM Staff;

23
Example 5.2 Specific Columns, All Rows

24
Example 5.3 Use of DISTINCT
List the property numbers of all properties that
have been viewed.
SELECT propertyNo
FROM Viewing;

25
Example 5.3 Use of DISTINCT
 Use DISTINCT to eliminate duplicates:
SELECT DISTINCT propertyNo
FROM Viewing;

26
Example 5.4 Calculated Fields
Produce list of monthly salaries for all staff,
showing staff number, first/last name, and salary.
SELECT staffNo, fName, lName, salary/12
FROM Staff;

27
Example 5.4 Calculated Fields
 To name column, use AS clause:
SELECT staffNo, fName, lName, salary/12
AS monthlySalary
FROM Staff;

28
Example 5.5 Comparison Search Condition
List all staff with a salary greater than 10,000.
SELECT staffNo, fName, lName, position,
salary
FROM Staff

29
Example 5.6 Compound Comparison
Search Condition
List addresses of all branch offices in London or
Glasgow.
SELECT *
FROM Branch
WHERE city = ‘London’ OR city =
‘Glasgow’;

30
Example 5.7 Range Search Condition
List all staff with a salary between 20,000 and
30,000.
salary
FROM Staff
WHERE salary BETWEEN 20000 AND 30000;
BETWEEN test includes the endpoints of
range.

31

32
 Also a negated version NOT BETWEEN.
 BETWEEN does not add much to SQL’s expressive
power. Could also write:
SELECT staffNo, fName, lName, position, salary
FROM Staff
WHERE salary>=20000 AND salary <= 30000;
 Useful, though, for a range of values.

33
Example 5.8 Set Membership
List all managers and supervisors.
SELECT staffNo, fName, lName, position
FROM Staff
WHERE position IN (‘Manager’,
‘Supervisor’);

34
Example 5.8 Set Membership
 There is a negated version (NOT IN).
 IN does not add much to SQL’s expressive power. Could
have expressed this as:
IN is more efficient when set contains many values.
FROM Staff
WHERE position=‘Manager’ OR
position=‘Supervisor’;

35
Example 5.9 Pattern Matching
Find all owners with the string ‘Glasgow’ in their
address.
SELECT ownerNo, fName, lName, address,
telNo
FROM PrivateOwner
WHERE address LIKE ‘%Glasgow%’;

36
Example 5.9 Pattern Matching
 SQL has two special pattern matching symbols:
– %: sequence of zero or more characters;
– _ (underscore): any single character.
 LIKE ‘%Glasgow%’ means a sequence of
characters of any length containing ‘Glasgow’.

37
Example 5.10 NULL Search Condition
List details of all viewings on property PG4
where a comment has not been supplied.
 There are 2 viewings for property PG4, one
with and one without a comment.
 Have to test for null explicitly using special
keyword IS NULL:
SELECT clientNo, viewDate
FROM Viewing
WHERE propertyNo = ‘PG4’AND
comment IS NULL;

38
Example 5.10 NULL Search Condition
 Negated version (IS NOT NULL) can test for non-
null values.

39
Example 5.11 Single Column Ordering
List salaries for all staff, arranged in descending
order of salary.
SELECT staffNo, fName, lName, salary
FROM Staff
ORDER BY salary DESC;

40
Example 5.11 Single Column Ordering

41
Example 5.12 Multiple Column Ordering
Produce abbreviated list of properties in order of
property type.
SELECT propertyNo, type, rooms, rent
FROM PropertyForRent
ORDER BY type;

42

43
 Four flats in this list - as no minor sort key
specified, system arranges these rows in any
order it chooses.
 To arrange in order of rent, specify minor
order:
SELECT propertyNo, type, rooms, rent
ORDER BY type, rent DESC;

44

46
SELECT Statement - Aggregates
 ISO standard defines five aggregate functions:
COUNT returns number of values in specified
column.
SUM returns sum of values in specified column.
AVG returns average of values in specified column.
MIN returns smallest value in specified column.
MAX returns largest value in specified column.

47
 Each operates on a single column of a table and
returns a single value.
 COUNT, MIN, and MAX apply to numeric and
non-numeric fields, but SUM and AVG may be
used on numeric fields only.
 Apart from COUNT(*), each function
eliminates nulls first and operates only on
remaining non-null values.

48
 COUNT(*) counts all rows of a table, regardless
of whether nulls or duplicate values occur.
 Can use DISTINCT before column name to
eliminate duplicates.
 DISTINCT has no effect with MIN/MAX, but
may have with SUM/AVG.

49
 Aggregate functions can be used only in SELECT list
and in HAVING clause.
 If SELECT list includes an aggregate function and
there is no GROUP BY clause, SELECT list cannot
reference a column out with an aggregate function. For
example, the following is illegal:
SELECT staffNo, COUNT(salary)
FROM Staff;

50
Example 5.13 Use of COUNT(*)
How many properties cost more than £350 per
month to rent?
SELECT COUNT(*) AS myCount
WHERE rent > 350;

51
Example 5.14 Use of COUNT(DISTINCT)
How many different properties viewed in May
‘04?
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT propertyNo) AS
myCount
FROM Viewing
WHERE viewDate BETWEEN ‘1-May-04’
AND ‘31-May-04’;

52
Example 5.15 Use of COUNT and SUM
Find number of Managers and sum of their
salaries.
SELECT COUNT(staffNo) AS myCount,
SUM(salary) AS mySum
FROM Staff
WHERE position = ‘Manager’;

53
Example 5.16 Use of MIN, MAX, AVG
Find minimum, maximum, and average
staff salary.
SELECT MIN(salary) AS myMin,
MAX(salary) AS myMax,
AVG(salary) AS myAvg
FROM Staff;

54
SELECT Statement - Grouping
 Use GROUP BY clause to get sub-totals.
 SELECT and GROUP BY closely integrated:
each item in SELECT list must be single-valued
per group, and SELECT clause may only
contain:
– column names
– aggregate functions
– constants
– expression involving combinations of the above.

55
SELECT Statement - Grouping
 All column names in SELECT list must appear
in GROUP BY clause unless name is used only
in an aggregate function.
 If WHERE is used with GROUP BY, WHERE
is applied first, then groups are formed from
remaining rows satisfying predicate.
 ISO considers two nulls to be equal for
purposes of GROUP BY.

56
Example 5.17 Use of GROUP BY
Find number of staff in each branch and their total
salaries.
SELECT branchNo,
COUNT(staffNo) AS myCount,
FROM Staff
GROUP BY branchNo
ORDER BY branchNo;

57
Example 5.17 Use of GROUP BY

58
Restricted Groupings – HAVING clause
 HAVING clause is designed for use with
GROUP BY to restrict groups that appear in
final result table.
 Similar to WHERE, but WHERE filters
individual rows whereas HAVING filters
groups.
 Column names in HAVING clause must also
appear in the GROUP BY list or be contained
within an aggregate function.

59
Example 5.18 Use of HAVING
For each branch with more than 1 member of
staff, find number of staff in each branch and
sum of their salaries.
SELECT branchNo,
COUNT(staffNo) AS myCount,
FROM Staff
GROUP BY branchNo
HAVING COUNT(staffNo) > 1
ORDER BY branchNo;

60
Example 5.18 Use of HAVING

61
Subqueries
 Some SQL statements can have a SELECT
embedded within them.
 A subselect can be used in WHERE and
HAVING clauses of an outer SELECT, where it
is called a subquery or nested query.
 Subselects may also appear in INSERT,
UPDATE, and DELETE statements.

62
Example 5.19 Subquery with Equality
List staff who work in branch at ‘163 Main St’.
FROM Staff
WHERE branchNo =
(SELECT branchNo
FROM Branch
WHERE street = ‘163 Main St’);

63
 Inner SELECT finds branch number for
branch at ‘163 Main St’ (‘B003’).
 Outer SELECT then retrieves details of all staff
who work at this branch.
 Outer SELECT then becomes:
FROM Staff
WHERE branchNo = ‘B003’;

64

65
Example 5.20 Subquery with Aggregate
List all staff whose salary is greater than the average
salary, and show by how much.
salary – (SELECT AVG(salary) FROM Staff) As
SalDiff
FROM Staff
WHERE salary >
(SELECT AVG(salary)
FROM Staff);

66
 Cannot write ‘WHERE salary > AVG(salary)’
 Instead, use subquery to find average salary
(17000), and then use outer SELECT to find
those staff with salary greater than this:
salary – 17000 As salDiff
FROM Staff

67

68
Subquery Rules
 ORDER BY clause may not be used in a
subquery (although it may be used in
outermost SELECT).
 Subquery SELECT list must consist of a single
column name or expression, except for
subqueries that use EXISTS.
 By default, column names refer to table name
in FROM clause of subquery. Can refer to a
table in FROM using an alias.

69
Subquery Rules
 When subquery is an operand in a
comparison, subquery must appear on right-
hand side.
 A subquery may not be used as an operand in
an expression.

70
Example 5.21 Nested subquery: use of IN
List properties handled by staff at ‘163 Main St’.
SELECT propertyNo, street, city, postcode, type, rooms, rent
WHERE staffNo IN
(SELECT staffNo
FROM Staff
WHERE branchNo =
(SELECT branchNo
FROM Branch
WHERE street = ‘163 Main St’));

71
Example 5.21 Nested subquery: use of IN

72
ANY and ALL
 ANY and ALL may be used with subqueries that
produce a single column of numbers.
 With ALL, condition will only be true if it is
satisfied by all values produced by subquery.
 With ANY, condition will be true if it is satisfied
by any values produced by subquery.
 If subquery is empty, ALL returns true, ANY
returns false.
 SOME may be used in place of ANY.

73
Example 5.22 Use of ANY/SOME
Find staff whose salary is larger than salary of
at least one member of staff at branch B003.
FROM Staff
WHERE salary > SOME
(SELECT salary
FROM Staff
WHERE branchNo = ‘B003’);

74
Example 5.22 Use of ANY/SOME
 Inner query produces set {12000, 18000, 24000}
and outer query selects those staff whose
salaries are greater than any of the values in this
set.

75
Example 5.23 Use of ALL
Find staff whose salary is larger than salary of
every member of staff at branch B003.
FROM Staff
WHERE salary > ALL
(SELECT salary
FROM Staff
WHERE branchNo = ‘B003’);

76
Example 5.23 Use of ALL

77
Multi-Table Queries
 Can use subqueries provided result columns
come from same table.
 If result columns come from more than one
table must use a join.
 To perform join, include more than one table in
FROM clause.
 Use comma as separator and typically include
WHERE clause to specify join column(s).

78
Multi-Table Queries
 Also possible to use an alias for a table named
in FROM clause.
 Alias is separated from table name with a
space.
 Alias can be used to qualify column names
when there is ambiguity.

79
Example 5.24 Simple Join
List names of all clients who have viewed a
property along with any comment supplied.
SELECT c.clientNo, fName, lName,
propertyNo, comment
FROM Client c, Viewing v
WHERE c.clientNo = v.clientNo;

80
Example 5.24 Simple Join
 Only those rows from both tables that have
identical values in the clientNo columns
(c.clientNo = v.clientNo) are included in result.
 Equivalent to equi-join in relational algebra.

81
Alternative JOIN Constructs
 SQL provides alternative ways to specify joins:
FROM Client c JOIN Viewing v ON c.clientNo =
v.clientNo
FROM Client JOIN Viewing USING clientNo
FROM Client NATURAL JOIN Viewing
 In each case, FROM replaces original FROM
and WHERE. However, first produces table with
two identical clientNo columns.

82
Example 5.25 Sorting a join
For each branch, list numbers and names of
staff who manage properties, and properties
they manage.
SELECT s.branchNo, s.staffNo, fName, lName,
propertyNo
FROM Staff s, PropertyForRent p
WHERE s.staffNo = p.staffNo
ORDER BY s.branchNo, s.staffNo, propertyNo;

83
Example 5.25 Sorting a join

84
Example 5.26 Three Table Join
For each branch, list staff who manage properties,
including city in which branch is located and
properties they manage.
SELECT b.branchNo, b.city, s.staffNo, fName, lName,
propertyNo
FROM Branch b, Staff s, PropertyForRent p
WHERE b.branchNo = s.branchNo AND
s.staffNo = p.staffNo
ORDER BY b.branchNo, s.staffNo, propertyNo;

85
Example 5.26 Three Table Join
 Alternative formulation for FROM and WHERE:
FROM (Branch b JOIN Staff s USING branchNo) AS
bs JOIN PropertyForRent p USING staffNo

86
Example 5.27 Multiple Grouping
Columns
Find number of properties handled by each staff
member.
SELECT s.branchNo, s.staffNo, COUNT(*) AS myCount
GROUP BY s.branchNo, s.staffNo
ORDER BY s.branchNo, s.staffNo;

87
Example 5.27 Multiple Grouping
Columns

88
Computing a Join
Procedure for generating results of a join are:
1. Form Cartesian product of the tables named in FROM
clause.
2. If there is a WHERE clause, apply the search condition
to each row of the product table, retaining those rows
that satisfy the condition.
3. For each remaining row, determine value of each item in
SELECT list to produce a single row in result table.

89
Computing a Join
4. If DISTINCT has been specified, eliminate any duplicate
rows from the result table.
5. If there is an ORDER BY clause, sort result table as
required.
 SQL provides special format of SELECT for Cartesian
product:
SELECT [DISTINCT | ALL] {* | columnList}
FROM Table1 CROSS JOIN Table2

90
Outer Joins
If one row of a joined table is unmatched,
row is omitted from result table.
Outer join operations retain rows that do
not satisfy the join condition.
Consider following tables:

91
Outer Joins
 The (inner) join of these two tables:
SELECT b.*, p.*
FROM Branch1 b, PropertyForRent1 p
WHERE b.bCity = p.pCity;

92
Outer Joins
 Result table has two rows where cities are
same.
 There are no rows corresponding to branches
in Bristol and Aberdeen.
 To include unmatched rows in result table, use
an Outer join.

93
Example 5.28 Left Outer Join
List branches and properties that are in same
city along with any unmatched branches.
SELECT b.*, p.*
FROM Branch1 b LEFT JOIN
PropertyForRent1 p ON b.bCity = p.pCity;

94
Example 5.28 Left Outer Join
 Includes those rows of first (left) table
unmatched with rows from second (right) table.
 Columns from second table are filled with
NULLs.

95
Example 5.29 Right Outer Join
List branches and properties in same city and
any unmatched properties.
SELECT b.*, p.*
FROM Branch1 b RIGHT JOIN

96
Example 5.29 Right Outer Join
 Right Outer join includes those rows of second
(right) table that are unmatched with rows from
first (left) table.
 Columns from first table are filled with NULLs.

97
Example 5.30 Full Outer Join
List branches and properties in same city and
any unmatched branches or properties.
SELECT b.*, p.*
FROM Branch1 b FULL JOIN

98
Example 5.30 Full Outer Join
 Includes rows that are unmatched in both
tables.
 Unmatched columns are filled with NULLs.

99
EXISTS and NOT EXISTS
 EXISTS and NOT EXISTS are for use only with
subqueries.
 Produce a simple true/false result.
 True if and only if there exists at least one row in result
table returned by subquery.
 False if subquery returns an empty result table.
 NOT EXISTS is the opposite of EXISTS.

100
EXISTS and NOT EXISTS
 As (NOT) EXISTS check only for existence or
non-existence of rows in subquery result table,
subquery can contain any number of columns.
 Common for subqueries following (NOT)
EXISTS to be of form:
(SELECT * ...)

101
Example 5.31 Query using EXISTS
Find all staff who work in a London branch.
FROM Staff s
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM Branch b
WHERE s.branchNo = b.branchNo AND
city = ‘London’);

102

103
 Note, search condition s.branchNo = b.branchNo is
necessary to consider correct branch record for each
member of staff.
 If omitted, would get all staff records listed out because
subquery:
SELECT * FROM Branch WHERE city=‘London’
 would always be true and query would be:
SELECT staffNo, fName, lName, position FROM Staff
WHERE true;

104
 Could also write this query using join
construct:
FROM Staff s, Branch b
WHERE s.branchNo = b.branchNo AND
city = ‘London’;

105
Union, Intersect, and Difference (Except)
 Can use normal set operations of Union,
Intersection, and Difference to combine results
of two or more queries into a single result table.
 Union of two tables, A and B, is table
containing all rows in either A or B or both.
 Intersection is table containing all rows
common to both A and B.
 Difference is table containing all rows in A but
not in B.
 Two tables must be union compatible.

106
 Format of set operator clause in each case is:
op [ALL] [CORRESPONDING [BY {column1 [,
...]}]]
 If CORRESPONDING BY specified, set
operation performed on the named column(s).
 If CORRESPONDING specified but not BY
clause, operation performed on common
columns.
 If ALL specified, result can include duplicate
rows.

107

108
Example 5.32 Use of UNION
List all cities where there is either a branch office or a
property.
(SELECT city
FROM Branch
WHERE city IS NOT NULL) UNION
(SELECT city
WHERE city IS NOT NULL);

109
 Or
(SELECT *
FROM Branch
WHERE city IS NOT NULL)
UNION CORRESPONDING BY city
(SELECT *
WHERE city IS NOT NULL);

110
 Produces result tables from both queries and
merges both tables together.

111
Example 5.33 Use of INTERSECT
List all cities where there is both a branch office
and a property.
(SELECT city FROM Branch)
INTERSECT
(SELECT city FROM PropertyForRent);

112
 Or
(SELECT * FROM Branch)
INTERSECT CORRESPONDING BY city
(SELECT * FROM PropertyForRent);

113
 Could rewrite this query without INTERSECT
operator:
SELECT b.city
FROM Branch b PropertyForRent p
WHERE b.city = p.city;
 Or:
SELECT DISTINCT city FROM Branch b
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT * FROM PropertyForRent p
WHERE p.city = b.city);

114
Example 5.34 Use of EXCEPT
List of all cities where there is a branch office
but no properties.
(SELECT city FROM Branch)
EXCEPT
 Or
(SELECT * FROM Branch)
EXCEPT CORRESPONDING BY city
(SELECT * FROM PropertyForRent);

115
Example 5.34 Use of EXCEPT
 Could rewrite this query without EXCEPT:
SELECT DISTINCT city FROM Branch
WHERE city NOT IN
 Or
SELECT DISTINCT city FROM Branch b
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT * FROM PropertyForRent p
WHERE p.city = b.city);

116
INSERT
INSERT INTO TableName [ (columnList) ]
VALUES (dataValueList)
 columnList is optional; if omitted, SQL assumes
a list of all columns in their original CREATE
TABLE order.
 Any columns omitted must have been declared
as NULL when table was created, unless
DEFAULT was specified when creating column.

117
INSERT
 dataValueList must match columnList as
follows:
– number of items in each list must be same;
– must be direct correspondence in position
of items in two lists;
– data type of each item in dataValueList must
be compatible with data type of
corresponding column.

118
Example 5.35 INSERT … VALUES
Insert a new row into Staff table supplying data
for all columns.
INSERT INTO Staff
VALUES (‘SG16’, ‘Alan’, ‘Brown’, ‘Assistant’,
‘M’, Date‘1957-05-25’, 8300, ‘B003’);

119
Example 5.36 INSERT using Defaults
Insert a new row into Staff table supplying data
for all mandatory columns.
INSERT INTO Staff (staffNo, fName, lName,
position, salary, branchNo)
VALUES (‘SG44’, ‘Anne’, ‘Jones’,
‘Assistant’, 8100, ‘B003’);
 Or
INSERT INTO Staff
VALUES (‘SG44’, ‘Anne’, ‘Jones’, ‘Assistant’, NULL,
NULL, 8100, ‘B003’);

120
INSERT … SELECT
 Second form of INSERT allows multiple rows
to be copied from one or more tables to
another:
INSERT INTO TableName [ (columnList) ]
SELECT ...

121
Example 5.37 INSERT … SELECT
Assume there is a table StaffPropCount that
contains names of staff and number of
properties they manage:
StaffPropCount(staffNo, fName, lName, propCnt)
Populate StaffPropCount using Staff and
PropertyForRent tables.

122
INSERT INTO StaffPropCount
(SELECT s.staffNo, fName, lName, COUNT(*)
GROUP BY s.staffNo, fName, lName)
UNION
(SELECT staffNo, fName, lName, 0
FROM Staff
WHERE staffNo NOT IN
(SELECT DISTINCT staffNo
FROM PropertyForRent));

123
 If second part of UNION is omitted, excludes
those staff who currently do not manage any
properties.

124
UPDATE
UPDATE TableName
SET columnName1 = dataValue1
[, columnName2 = dataValue2...]
[WHERE searchCondition]
 TableName can be name of a base table or an
updatable view.
 SET clause specifies names of one or more
columns that are to be updated.

125
UPDATE
 WHERE clause is optional:
– if omitted, named columns are updated for
