SQL by Example

• By convention SQL keywords are written


in uppercase.
• SELECT * FROM Books
– This query returns all rows in the Books table.
– SQL statements always require FROM
• SELECT ISBN, Price, Title
FROM Books
– This query returns a table with only the ISBN,
price and title columns from the Books table.
SQL by Example
• SELECT ISBN, Price, Title
FROM Books
WHERE Price <=29.95
– This query returns a table with the ISBN, Price
and Title from the Books table but only for the
books where the price is less or equal to
29.95.
SQL by Example
• SELECT ISBN, Price, Title
FROM Books
WHERE Title NOT LIKE “%n_x%”
– Returns a table with Price and Title as
columns excluding the boos that contain Linux
or UNIX in the title.
– The “%” character means any zero or more
characters. “_” means any single character.
SQL by Example
• SELECT Title, Name, URL
FROM Books, Publishers
WHERE Books.Publisher_ID=Publishers.Publisher_ID
It returns a table with the Title, Name of pusblisher, and URL from
Books and Publishers.

SQL by Example
• You can also use SQL to change data
inside a database.
• UPDATE Books
SET Price = Price – 5.00
WHERE Title Like “%C++%”
This reduces the price by $5.00 for all
books that have C++ in the title.
SQL by Example (from textbook)
• You can also delete rows with SQL
• DELETE FROM Books
WHERE Title Like “%C++%”
– This deletes all books that have C++ in the
title.
SQL by Example
• Use INSERT to insert a new row in the
table.
• INSERT INTO Books
VALUES (‘A Guide to the SQL Standard’,
‘0-201-96426-0’, ‘0201’, 47.95)
– This inserts a new book in the Books table.
SQL by Example
• You can also create a new table using SQL
• CREATE TABLE Books
(
TITLE CHAR(60),
ISBN CHAR(13),
Publisher_ID CHAR(6),
Price DECIMAL(10,2)
)
