SQL COMMANDS

Commands and syntax for Commands and syntax for querying

Command Syntax Description Command Syntax Description
querying data from Single Table data from Multiple Table
It is an clause in SQL used SELECT column_name(s) SELECT c1, c2
SELECT column_name, COUNT(*) It is sued to combine rows
FROM t1
C H E AT S H E E T
for aggregate functions in FROM table_1 SELECT c1 FROM t
GROUP BY FROM table_name from different tables even INNER JOIN t2 on condition
collaboration with the OUTER JOIN LEFT JOIN table_2
GROUP BY column_name; if the condition is NOT To select the data in Column c1 Select column c1 and c2 from table
SELECT statement ON table_1.column_name =
TRUE from table t t1 and perform an inner join
SQL Commands SELECT column_name, COUNT(*) It is used in SQL because table_2.column_name;
between t1 and t2
FROM table_name the WHERE keyword It is a function that takes
The commands in SQL are called Queries and they are of two types: HAVING SELECT c1, c2
GROUP BY column_name cannot be used in the column name and a
• Data Definition Query: The statements which defines the SELECT * FROM t FROM t1
HAVING COUNT(*) > value; aggregating functions SELECT ROUND(column_name, integer as an argument,
structure of a database, create tables, specify their keys, LEFT JOIN t2 on condition
SELECT column_name(s) ROUND integer) and rounds the values in a To select all rows and columns Select column c1 and c2 from table
indexes and so on FROM table_1 It is used to combine rows FROM table_name; column to the number of from table t t1 and perform a left join between t1
• Data manipulation queries: These are the queries which can INNER JOIN JOIN table_2 from different tables if the decimal places specified by and t2
be edited. ON table_1.column_name = Join condition goes TRUE an integer SELECT c1, c2
E.g.: Select, update and insert operation table_2.column_name; It is a statement that is SELECT c1 FROM t FROM t1
SELECT column_name
INSERT INTO table_name SELECT used to fetch data from a WHERE c1 = ‘test’ RIGHT JOIN t2 on condition
Command Syntax Description (column_1, column_2, column_3) It is used to add new rows FROM table_name; To select data in column c1 from Select column c1 and c2 from table
INSERT database
ALTER TABLE table_name It is used to add columns to VALUES (value_1, 'value_2', to a table It is used to specify that table t, where c1=test t1 and perform a right join between
ALTER table
ADD column_name datatype; a table in a database value_3); SELECT SELECT DISTINCT column_name the statement is a query t1 and t2
SELECT column_name(s) SELECT column_name(s) It is a operator used with SELECT c1, c2
IS NULL/ IS DISTINCT FROM table_name; which returns unique SELECT c1 FROM t
FROM table_name It is an operator that is used FROM table_name the WHERE clause to check FROM t1
AND NOT NULL values in specified columns ORDER BY c1 ASC (DESC)
WHERE column_1 = value_1 to combine two conditions WHERE column_name IS NULL; for the empty values FULL OUTER JOIN t2 on condition
It is function used to return To select data in column c1 from
It is an special operator SELECT SUM(column_name) Select column c1 and c2 from table
AND column_2 = value_2; SELECT column_name(s) SUM sum of values from a table t either in ascending or
used with the WHERE FROM table_name; t1 and perform a full outer join
It is an keyword in SQL that FROM table_name particular column descending order
SELECT column_name AS 'Alias’ LIKE clause to search for a between t1 and t2
AS is used to rename a column WHERE column_name LIKE UPDATE table_name
FROM table_name; specific pattern in a SELECT c1, c2
or table using an alias name pattern; SET some_column = some_value It is used to edit rows in a SELECT c1 FROM t
column FROM t1
SELECT column_name(s) UPDATE ORDER BY c1LIMIT n OFFSET
SELECT column_name(s) It is a clause to specify the WHERE some_column = table CROSS JOIN t2
FROM table_name It is an operator used to offset
LIMIT FROM table_name maximum number of rows some_value; Select column c1 and c2 from table
BETWEEN WHERE column_name filter the result within a To skip the offset of rows and
LIMIT number; the result set must have SELECT column_name(s) It is a clause used to filter t1 and produce a Cartesian product
return the next n rows
BETWEEN value_1 AND certain range It is a function that takes FROM table_name the result set to include of rows in a table
value_2; WHERE SELECT c1, aggregate(c2) SELECT c1, c2
SELECT MAX(column_name) number of columns as an WHERE column_name operator the rows which where the
SELECT column_name, MAX FROM t FROM t1, t2
FROM table_name; argument and return the value; condition is TRUE
CASE WHEN condition THEN WITH temporary_name AS ( GROUP BY c1 Select column c1 and c2 from table
largest value among them
'Result_1' WHEN condition It is a statement used to To group rows using an aggregate t1 and produce a Cartesian product
It is a function that takes SELECT *
CASE THEN 'Result_2' create different outputs It is used to store the result function of rows in a table
number of columns as an FROM table_name)
SELECT MIN(column_name) of a particular query in a SELECT c1, aggregate(c2) SELECT c1, c2
ELSE 'Result_3’ inside a SELECT statement MIN argument and return the WITH SELECT *
FROM table_name; temporary table using an FROM t FROM t1 A
END smallest value among FROM temporary_name
alias GROUP BY c1HAVING condition INNER JOIN t2 B on condition
FROM table_name; them WHERE column_name operator Group rows using an aggregate Select column c1 and c2 from table
It is a function that takes the It is an operator that is
SELECT column_name value; function and filter these groups t1 and join it to itself using INNER
name of a column as used to filter the result set
SELECT COUNT(column_name) FROM table_name using ‘HAVING’ clause JOIN clause
COUNT argument and counts the OR to contain only the rows DELETE FROM table_name
FROM table_name; WHERE column_name = value_1 It is used to remove the
number of rows when the where either condition is DELETE WHERE some_column =
column is not NULL OR column_name = value_2; rows from a table
TRUE some_value;
CREATE TABLE table_name ( It is a clause used to sort
It is used to create a new SELECT column_name
column_1 datatype, the result set by a
Create table in a database and FROM table_name It is used to aggregate a
column_2 datatype, ORDER BY particular column either SELECT AVG(column_name)
TABLE specify the name of the ORDER BY column_name ASC | AVG numeric column and
column_3 datatype numerically or FROM table_name;
return its average
