SQL Notes Week-4

The SQL CASE expression evaluates conditions and returns a value when the first condition is met, similar to an if-then-else statement. It will stop reading conditions and return the result once a condition is true. If no conditions are true, it returns the value in the ELSE clause or NULL if there is no ELSE. The UNION operator combines the result sets of two or more SELECT statements if they have the same number and data types of columns in the same order. UNION ALL will include duplicate values while the default UNION will only include distinct values. Views are virtual tables based on the result set of an SQL statement that can be updated and deleted using specific SQL statements.

SQL NOTES

SQL CASE Expression


The CASE expression goes through conditions and returns a value when the first condition
is met (like an if-then-else statement).

So, once a condition is true, it will stop reading and return the result. If no conditions are
true, it returns the value in the ELSE clause.

If there is no ELSE part and no conditions are true, it returns NULL.

Syntax

CASE
WHEN condition1 THEN result1
WHEN condition2 THEN result2
WHEN conditionN THEN resultN
ELSE result
END;

SQL UNION Operator


The UNION operator is used to combine the result-set of two or more SELECT statements.

• Every SELECT statement within UNION must have the same number of columns
• The columns must also have similar data types
• The columns in every SELECT statement must also be in the same order

UNION Syntax
SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1
UNION
SELECT column_name(s) FROM table2;

UNION ALL Syntax


The UNION operator selects only distinct values by default. To allow duplicate values,
use UNION ALL:

SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1


UNION ALL
SELECT column_name(s) FROM table2;

Row Number, Rank and DenseRank


• ROW_NUMBER will always generate unique values without any gaps, even if there are
ties.
• RANK can have gaps in its sequence and when values are the same, they get the same
rank.
• DENSE_RANK also returns the same rank for ties, but doesn’t have any gaps in the
sequence.
• SELECT
•
• ,RowNumber = ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY [Value])
• ,[Rank] = RANK() OVER (ORDER BY [Value])
• ,[DenseRank] = DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY [Value])
• FROM Table

Syntax

SELECT ID, CITY, PRODUCT, QTY, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY


QTY DESC)FROM FOOD

SELECT ID, CITY, PRODUCT, QTY, RANK() OVER (ORDER BY QTY


DESC)FROM FOOD

SELECT ID,CITY,PRODUCT,QTY,DENSERANK() OVER (ORDER BY QTY


DESC)FROM FOOD

MySQL Views
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.

CREATE VIEW Syntax


CREATE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

MySQL Updating a View


A view can be updated with the CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW statement.

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW Syntax


CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

MySQL Dropping a View


A view is deleted with the DROP VIEW statement.

DROP VIEW Syntax


DROP VIEW view_name;
