SQL pepper
Why SQL • File I/O is a great deal of code • Optimal file organization and indexing is critical and a great deal of code and theory implementation • File locking • Security concerns • Much more
Different SQL Servers • Mysql (open source – no cost to use though may cost to embed and resell outside gpl) • Ms sql (microsoft ) • Oracle • Sybase • Access • Older AS/400 – SQL machine
Structure • SQL Server runs a service • accepts sql commands using their version of the standard query language • Allows access to the data inside the SQL server • Organized into databases • Tables (like spreadsheets) inside databases • Gui management interface • Access / mysql workbench / mssql studio mgr
Your databases • Connect with : mysql -u yourdbuser -p yourdatabase • The –p means the password will be entered later. You can also put the password right after the p as in pmypassword. No spaces and no quotes • Your database name is your db user and is usually your ecampus logon name • You should also be able to connect to pepperdb • See your tables show tables • See information inside your table select * from tablename
Create a table • CREATE TABLE table_name (column_namecolumn_type ); • Plus insert PRIMARY KEY ( id ) at end • Ex: • create table tut( id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, title VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, type VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL, date DATE, PRIMARY KEY ( id ) ); Credit to : http://www.tutorialspoint.com/mysql/mysql-create-tables.htm
Create a related table • Create table types ( type VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL, name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, manager int not null, PRIMARY KEY ( type) ); Table picture from wikipedia
Insert a row • INSERT INTO table_name ( field1, field2,...fieldN ) VALUES ( value1, value2,...valueN ); • Examples: • INSERT INTO tut ( title, type, submission_date) VALUES ("Learn PHP", "php",NOW()); • INSERT INTO tut (title, type, submission_date) VALUES ("Learn MySQL", "db",NOW()); • INSERT INTO tut (title, type, submission_date) VALUES ("Learn Oracle", "db",NOW()); Credit: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/mysql/mysql-insert-query.htm
Insert rows into another table • INSERT INTO types values ("php", "php tutorials",10); • INSERT INTO types values ("db", "database tutorials",20);
Query your tables • select * from tut ; • select * from types; • select * from types inner join tut on tut.type = types.type;
Select statement • Select – keyword indicating just looking • List all columns (* for all; table.column) • From – keyword indicating table names follow • Table name • Join type + next table + on + matching fields • Where – keyword indicating row selection • Column = something
Switch to another database • Show databases • Use <database name>
Summary • What is SQL • How to open a database • How to create tables • How to query tables – very, very basic • How to switch database context
