Explore the components and features of Microsoft SQL Server, a client/server database management system that allows you to create, manage, and query databases efficiently.

Chapter 4 SQL
SQL server • Microsoft SQL Server is a client/server database management system. • A client/server database management system consists of two components: • A front-endcomponent (the client), which is used to present and manipulate data; • A backendcomponent (the database server), which is used to store, retrieve, and protectthe databases.
Components of SQL Server • The commands you primarily use to query a database on a database server are • part of the Structured Query Language (SQL). • The Structured Query Language isa standardized set of commands used to work with databases. • Microsoft SQLServer 2000 supports an enhanced version of SQL referred to as Transact-SQL • Transact-SQL commands used to create, maintain, and query databases • Microsoft • SQL Server supports the most recently published standards for ANSI SQL. Sometimes, the versionof SQL implemented in SQL Server referred to as SQL-92.
Transact-SQL • Data Definition Language (DDL) statements, which enable you to createdatabase objects. • Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements, which enable you to queryor modify data. • Data Control Language (DCL) statements, which enable you to determine,set, or revoke users’ permissions to SQL databases and their objects
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 supports two login authenticationmodes : • Windows Authentication mode • Mixed mode
Database • Master – Information about the operation of SQL Server,including user accounts,other SQL servers,environment variables,error messages,databases,storage space allocated to databases,and the tapes and disk drives on theSQL server. • Model – A template for creating new databases. SQL Server automatically copiesthe objects in this database to each new database you create. • Msdb – Information about all scheduled jobs,defined alerts,and operators on yourserver. This information is used by the SQL Server Agent service. • Tempdb –Temporary information. This database is used as a scratchpad by SQLServer. • Northwind, pubs – A sample database for learning SQL Server.
Components of SQL Server • The SQL Server Services
can also create your ownserver groups to organize your SQL servers SQL Server Enterprise Manager
SQL Query Analyzer • Use SQL Query Analyzer to run SQL queries as well as to optimize the performanceof the queries. • A query is simply a command you send to your server. This query can request data from the server, change data, or delete information.
SQL Server Database Structure • the term database refers to a collection of tables and otherdatabase objects such as indexes • A table consists of rows and columns; theserows and columns contain the data for the table. • A database can contain a virtuallyunlimited number of tables; each table can contain a maximum of 1,024columns (fields).
Designing andImplementing Databases • To design, create, and manage databases: • Identify the issues for designing databases • Create and configure databases • Manage databases
Identifying Database Design Issues • Databases andFiles: • A database is a collection of database objects; these objects include tables,indexes, views, and stored procedures. • At a minimum, each database consists of aprimary data file with an extension of .mdf. • In addition to its primary data file,you can optionally configure SQL Server to store a database in a secondary datafile. These files use the extension of .ndf.
Identifying Database Design Issues • Transaction Logs:In addition to a database’s primary data file, you must also create a transactionlog for each database. • SQL Serverautomatically assigns the extension of .ldf to each transaction log file. • SQL Server uses the transactionlog to make it possible to either recover (roll forward) or undo (roll back) atransactionto protect your database from corruption in the event of a servercrash..
Filegroups • When create a database, SQL Server automatically creates a default filegroupthat contains your database’s primary data file
SQL Server uses disk space in 8 KB pages. • SQL Server uses some pages to keeptrack of the space allocated within a database • Within a database, SQL Server allocates space for database objectssuch as tables and indexes in extents. • An extent is a contiguous block of eightpages for a total of 64 KB of disk space. • A database consistsof 16 extents per megabyte.
Creating Databases • Create a database by using: • the CREATE DATABASETransact-SQL statement. • the Create Database Wizard. • SQL Server EnterpriseManager
Creating a Database Using Transact-SQL CREATE DATABASE logical_database_name ON PRIMARY (NAME = logical_file_name, FILENAME = 'path\file_name', SIZE = size, MAXSIZE = maxsize, FILEGROWTH = filegrowth_increment) LOG ON (NAME = logical_file_name, FILENAME = 'path\file_name', SIZE = size, MAXSIZE = maxsize, FILEGROWTH = filegrowth_increment)
Creating a Database Using Transact-SQL • CREATE DATABASE SalesDb • ON • (NAME = SalesDb_dat, • FILENAME = 'c:\data\salesDB_dat.mdf', • SIZE = 10, • MAXSIZE = 50, • FILEGROWTH = 5) • LOG ON • (NAME = 'SalesDb_log', • FILENAME = 'c:\data\salesDB_log.ldf', • SIZE = 5MB, • MAXSIZE = 25MB, • FILEGROWTH = 10%) • GO
Creating a Database Using Transact-SQL • Creating Filegroup • CREATE DATABASE logical_database_name • ON • PRIMARY (NAME = logical_file_name, • FILENAME = 'path\file_name.mdf', • SIZE = size, • MAXSIZE = maxsize, • FILEGROWTH = filegrowth_increment) • FILEGROUP filegroup_name • (NAME = logical_file_name, • FILENAME = 'path\file_name.ndf', • SIZE = size, • MAXSIZE = maxsize, • FILEGROWTH = filegrowth_increment) • LOG ON • (NAME = logical_file_name, • FILENAME = 'path\file_name', • SIZE = size, • MAXSIZE = maxsize, • FILEGROWTH = filegrowth_increment)
ALTER DATABASE • Adding Filegroups to an Existing Database ALTER DATABASE logical_database_name ADD FILEGROUP new_filegroup_name • Adding Files ALTER DATABASE logical_database_name ADD FILE (NAME = logical_file_name, FILENAME = 'path\file_name.ndf', SIZE = size, MAXSIZE = maxsize, FILEGROWTH = filegrowth_increment) TO FILEGROUP filegroup_name
ALTER DATABASE • Configuring Database Options ALTER DATABASE database_name SET option[, status] ALTER DATABASE movies SET READ_ONLY
ALTER DATABASE • Expanding a Database and its Transaction Log ALTER DATABASE database_name MODIFY FILE (NAME = 'logical_name', SIZE = size, MAXSIZE = maxsize, FILEGROWTH = filegrowth_increment) • support unrestricted file growth by using theclause MAXSIZE = UNLIMITED
Deleting a Database • DROP DATABASEdatabase_name.
