INTRODUCTION TO

ADVANCED SERVER SIDE


ISSUES
What is DATA?

 DATA is collection of raw fact.


 For example your name, age, height, weight, etc are some data related to you.
 A picture , image , file , pdf etc can also be considered data.
What is database?

 Database is a systematic collection of data. Databases support storage and  manipulation of data.
Databases make data management easy.
  Database is a collection of inter-related data which helps in efficient retrieval, insertion and deletion
of data from database and organizes the data in the form of tables, views, schemas, reports etc. 
 An online telephone directory would definitely use database to store data pertaining to people, phone
numbers, other contact details, etc.
 Your electricity service provider is obviously using a database to manage billing , client related
issues, to handle fault data, etc.
What is DBMS

  The software which is used to manage database is called Database Management System
(DBMS).
 For Example, MySQL, Oracle etc. are popular commercial DBMS used in different
applications.
 It also helps to control access to the  database.
 Database Management Systems are not a new concept and as such had been first
implemented in 1960s.
SQL

 SQL stands for Structured Query language, pronounced as "S-Q-L" or sometimes as


"See-Quel".
 SQL is the standard language for dealing with Relational Databases.
 SQL can be used to insert, search, update and delete database records.
 SQL can do lots of other operations including optimizing and maintenance of databases.
 Relational databases like MySQL Database, Oracle, Ms SQL server, Sybase, etc uses
SQL.
 Example: select * from students where class=“BCA”
What can SQL do?

 SQL can execute queries against a database


 SQL can retrieve data from a database
 SQL can insert records in a database
 SQL can update records in a database
 SQL can delete records from a database
 SQL can create new databases
 SQL can create new tables in a database
 SQL can create stored procedures in a database
 SQL can create views in a database
 SQL can set permissions on tables, procedures, and views
SQL Commands

 SQL commands are instructions. It is used to communicate with the database. It is also
used to perform specific tasks, functions, and queries of data.
 SQL can perform various tasks like create a table, add data to tables, drop the table, modify
the table, set permission for users.
 There are five types of SQL commands: DDL, DML, DCL, TCL, and DQL.
Types of SQL command
Create and Drop Database

 CREATE DATABASE databasename;
 Example Create database BCA

 DROP DATABASE databasename;


 Example Drop database BCA
Create table

 CREATE TABLE table_name (
    column1 datatype,
    column2 datatype,
    column3 datatype,
   ....
);
 The column parameters specify the names of the columns of the table.

 The datatype parameter specifies the type of data the column can hold (e.g. varchar, integer, date, etc.).
 CREATE TABLE Students(
    ID int,
    LastName varchar(255),
    FirstName varchar(255),
    Address varchar(255),
    Phone varchar(255)
);
Drop table

 DROP TABLE table_name;
 Drop table Students;
SQL Constraints

 SQL constraints are used to specify rules for data in a table.


 CREATE TABLE table_name (
    column1 datatype constraint,
    column2 datatype constraint,
    column3 datatype constraint,
    ....
);
SQL Constraint
 Constraints are used to limit the type of data that can go into a table. This ensures the accuracy and
reliability of the data in the table. If there is any violation between the constraint and the data action, the
action is aborted.
 Constraints can be column level or table level. Column level constraints apply to a column, and table level
constraints apply to the whole table.
 The following constraints are commonly used in SQL:
 NOT NULL - Ensures that a column cannot have a NULL value
 UNIQUE - Ensures that all values in a column are different
 PRIMARY KEY - A combination of a NOT NULL and UNIQUE. Uniquely identifies each row in a table
 FOREIGN KEY - Uniquely identifies a row/record in another table
 CHECK - Ensures that all values in a column satisfies a specific condition
 DEFAULT - Sets a default value for a column when no value is specified
 INDEX - Used to create and retrieve data from the database very quickly
Insert into table

 Syntax :
 INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3, ...)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3, ...)
OR
 INSERT INTO table_name
VALUES (value1, value2, value3, ...);
Update table

 UPDATE table_name
SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2, ...
WHERE condition;

 Example
 Update students set name=“Seema” where id=3;
Delete

 Syntax: DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;
 Example : Delete from Students where id=4;
Select

 SELECT * FROM table_name
 SELECT col1,col2 from table_name
 Select distinct col1,col2 from table_name
 Select * from table_name where address=“Bhaktapur”
 Select * from table_name where name=“sudip”
SQL min max

 SELECT MAX(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

 SELECT MAX(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
SQL Between operator

 SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name BETWEEN value1 AND value2;
Like operator

 The LIKE operator is used in a WHERE clause to search for a specified pattern in a
column.
 There are two wildcards often used in conjunction with the LIKE operator:
 % - The percent sign represents zero, one, or multiple characters
 _ - The underscore represents a single character
 SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE columnN LIKE pattern;
 SELECT name
WHERE students LIKE ’a%’;
SQL COUNT(), AVG() and SUM() Functions

 SELECT COUNT(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition
 SELECT AVG(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
 SELECT SUM(column_name)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
