Database Management and MySQL Part - 1

Database Management
What is Database?
► A database system is basically a computer based record system
which can be defined as a collection of logically related data
items stored together to be manipulated by multiple applications.
► The intention of a database is that all related data of any
organization will be stored in a central place and all applications
will use the data for different purpose.
► In other words, a database is used by an organization as a method
of storing, managing and retrieving information. Databases are
managed using a database management system (DBMS).
Need of database systems
► 1. Databases reduce the data redundancy:
The database system do not maintain separate copies of the same data,
rather all the data are kept at one place and all application that require
data refer to the centrally maintained database. If any change is to be
made it will be made at just one place and the changed information will
be available to other applications.
► 2. Databases can control data inconsistency:
When data redundancy is not controlled, there may be occasions on which

out of the two entries of the same data , one of them stores the updated
version and the other does not. In that case the database is said to be
inconsistent. By controlling the data redundancy, inconsistency is also
controlled.
Need of database systems
► 3. Database facilitates sharing of data:
In a database system all the users handling different related applications
refer and share the same data stored in a central location.
► 4. Database enforces standards

Database management system can ensure that all the data follow the
applicable standard laid by the organization.
► 5. Integrity can be maintained:

When a database contains data to be used by many users, it is important
to keep integrity to check to insure that data values satisfy to certain
specified rules.
► 6. Database can ensure security:

A database ensures security and privacy by ensuring that only the
authorized person can access the database.
Database Management System(DBMS)
DBMS is a set of programs that enables the user to create, maintain and
manage the database. A DBMS provides the facilities of :
 Creates structure of data storage in a database
 Provides query mechanism to retrieve specified data according to a
condition.
 Updating of database i.e. addition of new records, editing and deleting
data items etc.
 Organize the data in the database i.e. arranging it ascending or
descending order
Examples of popular DBMSs are MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft Access,
Oracle etc
RDBMS Terminology
Relation or Table
A relation refers to the collection of
logically related data items stored in
rows and columns (Tabular form)
Domain
A domain is a set of values from which
one or more attribute (column) draw
their actual values.
Tuple
The rows or records of tables are
referred as a Tuple.
Attributes
The columns or fields of tables are
generally referred to as attributes.
RDBMS Terminology
Degree
The number of attributes
(columns) in a relation is called
the degree of a relation.
Cardinality
The number of tuples (rows) in a
relation is called the cardinality
of the relation.
Degree – 5 Cardinality - 5
RDBMS Terminology
Keys : Keys refers to fields of a table which are
used to
► To maintain uniqueness of a tuple (row) in a
table.
► To create relationships between two tables.
Primary Key: A primary key is a set of one or more

attributes that can uniquely identify the rows
within a table. The primary key column stores
unique values and can not be empty
Composite Key: In certain tables, when
combination of two or more attributes is used as
Primary Key. Such keys are called Composite Keys.
Candidate Key: All attributes in a table that can
become Primary Key are called candidate keys.
Alternate Key: A candidate key that is not the
Primary key is called an Alternate key.
Features Of Relation/Table
► Each relation in a database must have a distinct or unique
name which would separate it from the other relations in a
database.
► A relation must not have two attributes with the same name.
Each attribute must have a distinct name.
► Duplicate tuples must not be present in a relation.
► Order of tuple in a relation is irrelevant.
► A relation does not allow composite and multivalued attributes.
► if the value of any attribute of a tuple does not exist it is
denoted as having NULL values. Null value in MySQL is not same
as 0 or space. It is denoted as an undefined value
Advantages Of MySQL
► MySQL is a very reliable and high performance Relational
Database Management System.
► MySQL provides the user with a rich set of features that
support a secure environment for storing, maintaining and
accessing data.
► Being an open-source software, MySQL is easily modifiable
► MySQL supports several different platforms like UNIX, Linux,
Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.
► MySQL is a powerful, easy, compatible and fast Relational
Database Management System. It can handle complicated
applications and processing requirements.
► Integrity (Checks): MySQL provides various integrity checks in
order to restrict the user input and processing.

MySQL - RDBMS
MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS)
which:
 MySQL is a freely available open source Relational Database
Management System (RDBMS) that uses SQL (Structured query
language).
 It is downloadable from site www.mysql.org
 A single MySQL Relational database can contain many
tables at once and store thousands of individual records.
 It has easy to use interface and is an easy to install
RDBMS .
 It is platform independent which works on many
operating systems like Windows, UNIX, LINUX etc.
MySQL
To use MySQL
• Download MySQL from www.mysql.org
• Click on MySQL Command Line Client to load the software.
• Once it is loaded the password screen of MySQL appears.
Once password is entered, the MySQL prompt appears,
where SQL commands need to be typed,
To come out of MySQL application, quit to be given in front of
the mysql> command prompt.
Data types in MySQL
A data type specifies the possible values for that type, the
operations that can be performed on that type and the way
the values of that type are stored.
In SQL, each column of the table is assigned a datatype
which conveys the kind of value that will be stored in the
column.
SQL supports 3 basic types of Data Type
► Character Data Type
► Numeric Data Type
► Date and Time
Data types in MySQL
Character data type :
Char (w)
► represents fixed length character data of the specified length "w"
where w can be any integer.
► The maximum size is 255 characters.
► If the number of characters entered in a CHAR data type column is

less than the declared column length, spaces are appended to it to
fill up the whole length.
Varchar(w)
► represents variable length character data of the specified length
"w" where w can be any integer
► The maximum size is 65,535 characters.
► Unlike CHAR data type, for VARCHAR the length of the field is the
actual length in bytes of the data entered.
All character data items of MySQL should be enclosed within single or
double quotes.
Difference Between Char and Varchar
Data types in MySQL
Numeric data type
Numeric data type represents data which can be used for calculation
➢ Int/ Integer(w):
int/integer data type represents integer data (signed or unsigned) of
width w. By default it is 11 digits
➢ Decimal(m,d)
Decimaldata type represents floating point numbers. m is the length
and the number of decimals is represented by d
Date datatype
Date type Represents all valid dates in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. The
date data items should be enclosed in single or double quotes.
Time datatype
Time - represents time. Format: HH:MM:SS
MySQL commands
MySQL commands are basically the instructions given to SQL
database for to manipulate and manage data stored in
different tables through commands.
MySQL commands are combination of Keyword/ Reserved

Word and clause
The SQL commands use the following formats -:

► Every SQL command starts with the keywords/Reserved
words followed by clause.
► Every SQL statement ends with a semicolon (;)
► SQL commands are not case sensitive.

Categories of SQL commands
Data definition language (DDL)
This category of commands are
► used to create database and tables
► define the physical characteristics of a table like determining
each field’s name, its data type and its length within a table
► modifications of table structure like changing the length of a
field, adding a new field etc.

► Commands to create table, drop table, alter table etc. come
under this category.
Data manipulation language (DML)
► This category of commands manipulates the data and perform
the operations like retrieval of information from database,

insertion of new record, deletion and modification of records
SQL commands
Create database command
Every table in MySQL should be included under a database. New
database in MySQL are created using the Create database command.
Syntax: Create database <database name>;
Example: Create database Emp;
Category : DDL
Show databases;
Use command
Once the database is created, it needs to be opened to work on it. Use
command is used to open the database. Once the database is opened,
any table created, will be stored under it.
Syntax: Use <database name>;
Example: Use Emp;
Category : DML
SQL commands
Create Table Command
After creating the database CREATE TABLE command creates an
empty table i.e a table with no rows. While creating the table the
table name, column name, data type and width of the column are
given.
Syntax:
Create Table <table-name>(<column name1><data type><size>,
<column name2><data type> [(<size>]
………………...);
Example:
Create table employee (empno char(6), name varchar(15),
basic decimal(8,2), dept varchar(10), dob date);
Category : DDL
SQL commands
SHOW TABLES command
This command helps to view names of all the tables contained
in the current database
Syntax : Show Tables;
Category : DML
Viewing Structure of the table
The DESCRIBE statement is used to see the structure of a
table. It displays the Column names, their data types, along
with its constraint like Primary key etc.
Syntax : DESCRIBE <table_name>;
OR DESC <table_name>;
Example : Desc employee;
Category : DML
SQL commands
Adding Records Using Insert Into
Insert into command adds new rows (records) to a table.
Syntax : Insert into <table name> values (<field
name1>, <field name2,....]);
Example : Insert into employee values (‘1’, ‘Raju’,
12000, ‘Acct’,’1979-01-12’);
► While providing data items for char and varchar fields, enclose
the data item in single/double quotes.

► For the date fields, the data item is given in the format of yyyy-
mm-dd and required to be enclosed in single/double quotes.

► One Insert Into command will insert a single record in the table.
For inserting multiple records in the table, multiple commands

have to be given.
Category : DML
SQL commands
INSERT INTO Command for specific filelds
If only specific fields of the new record to be filled with data item, the
column name for which data will be supplied with corresponding data values
are required to be given in the INSERT statement
Syntax : INSERT INTO <tablename> (<column1>,
<column2>, ..., <column n>)
VALUES (<value1>, <value2>, ... <value n>);
Example : INSERT INTO employee (Empno, Name, DOB) VALUES
(‘1’, ‘Raman’, ’2017-01-17’);
Rest of the field for which values are not supplied will have NULL stored in
it.
When some data fields of a record are not known, null can be written in
that place.
Example : Insert into employee values (‘1’, ‘Raju’, null, null,’1979-01-12’);
SQL commands
Select Command
Select command is used to specify query. A query is a command
that produces specific information from the table of a database.
Selecting the whole table
Syntax : Select * From<table name>;
Example : Select * from employee;
will display all the records from the table
Category : DML
Selecting specific columns
To display only few columns from the table, the names of the
columns can be specified after Select
Syntax : Select <Column name>, <Column name>.. From
<table name>;
Example : Select Empno, Name, Basic from employee;
will display empno, name and basic columns from the table
employee
SQL commands
Selecting specific rows using Where
The Where clause is used to display only those rows, which
satisfy the specified condition. You can use any relational
operator (>, <, >=, <=, <>, =) to form a condition.
Syntax : Select * from <table name> where
<condition>;
Example : Select * from employee where Dept =’Acct’;
select * from employee ehere dept<>’Acct’;
: Select empno, name from employee where
basic>12000;
: Select * from employee where dob>”1979-
01-01”;
SQL Commands
Example :
Selecting specific rows using Where WITH Logical Operators
Example with AND operator
Select * from employee where Dept =’Acct’ AND Basic>10000;
Select * from employee where basic>3000 and basic <6000;
Example with OR operator
Select * from employee where Dept =’Acct’ OR Dept =’Sys’;
Example with NOT operator
Select * from employee where NOT (Dept = ’Acct’);
SQL Commands
Selecting specific rows using Where WITH Logical Operators
Multiple conditions can be specified by using Logical operators
(And, Or and Not)
The AND operator displays a record and returns a true value if all
the conditions (usually two conditions) specified in the WHERE
clause are true.
The OR operator displays a record and returns a true value if either
of the conditions (usually two conditions) specified in the WHERE
clause is true.
NOT operator is also termed as a negation operator. Unlike the
other two operators, this operator takes only one condition and
gives the reverse of it as the result. It returns a false value if the
condition holds true and vice versa.
SQL commands
SELECT to using IN operator
The IN operator is used to specify a list of values. This operator
selects rows that match any value in a given list of values.
Example : SELECT NAME, dept, basic FROM employee
WHERE dept IN (‘accts’, "admn’, ‘marketing’);
This statement will display employee name, dept and basic of those
employees whose dept is either accts, admn or marketing from
table employee
Select name,dept,basic from employee where dept=‘accts’ or
dept=‘admn’ or dept=‘marketing’;
SELECT to using NOT IN operator
The NOT IN operator selects rows that do not match any value in a
given list of values.
Example : SELECT NAME, dept, basic FROM employee
WHERE dept NOT IN (‘accts’, "admn’,
‘marketing’);
SQL commands
SELECT using BETWEEN clause
BETWEEN defines a range of values that the column value can
fall in. The range includes both lower and upper values.
Example : SELECT name, basic FROM employee
WHERE basic BETWEEN 12000 AND 15000;
This statement will display names and basic of employees
whose basic is greater than or equal to 12000 and less than or
equal to 15000 select name,basic from employee where
basic>=12000 and basic<=15000;
SELECT using NOT BETWEEN clause
The operator NOT BETWEEN is reverse of BETWEEN operator,
that is the rows not satisfying the BETWEEN condition are
retrieved
Example1 : SELECT * FROM employee WHERE basic NOT
SQL commands
SELECT Using LIKE operator
Like operator of MySQL is used to retrieve data from a table which matches
the specified pattern from a table.
There are 2 wildcards used to represent the pattern:
► % is used to represent any sequence of 0 or more characters,
► _ is used to represent a single character
Example : SELECT * FROM employee WHERE Name like ‘G%’;
will display the records of all employees whose name starts with G.
Example : SELECT Empno, Name FROM employee WHERE Name
like ‘%SINGH%’;
will display records of employees whose name is containing SINGH.
Example : SELECT * FROM employee WHERE Name like ‘_ _%’;
will display the employee records of whose name is containing at least 2
characters
Example :SELECT * FROM employee WHERE Name like ‘%G’;
will display the details of all employees whose name is ending with G
SQL Commands
Selecting With IS NULL
The NULL value can be searched using IS NULL in the where clause .
Syntax : Select * from <table name> where
<column_name> IS NULL;
Example : Select * from employee where Dept IS NULL;
Select with Distinct
The DISTINCT keyword is used in the SELECT statement to eliminate
all the duplicate records and fetching only unique records. Distinct
clause can be specified only once in a Select statement
Syntax : Select DISTINCT <column Name> from <table
name>
Example : Select distinct dept from employee;

It will display all distinct department names.
SQL commands
Sorting the selected records by - Order By
In general, the rows displayed from a query do not have any order The
Order by clause allows sorting of query result by one or more columns in
descending or ascending order.
In a SQL statement the ORDER BY clause has to appear at the last.
Syntax : Select * from <table name>
WHERE <condition> ORDER BY <the column
<ASC/DESC>;
Example : Select * from employee WHERE Basic > 2500 order
by Name;
When <ASC/DESC> is not mentioned, by default MySQL will arrange the
table in ascending order
Sorting of records can also be performed on multiple attributes.
Example : Select * from employee order by dept asc, gross
desc;
SQL commands
Select For calculated result
Calculated result can also be displayed using expression with
mathematical operator in select statement
Example : SELECT empno, 0.12*basic from employee;
will display calculated values (12% of basic) with empno from employee
table.
Example : SELECT 12 + 10 % 3 as “calculated Value”;
SELECT using Column Alias
When displaying the result of a query the name of the selected column or
expression is usually displayed as column heading. To change the column
heading for a more descriptive name column alias can be used.
Example : SELECT empno, 0.12*basic Bonus from employee;
This statement displays the calculated result under the heading Bonus
which is given as Alias.
When alias has multiple words it has to be given in double quotes.
Example : SELECT empno As “Employee No”, 0.012*basic “Calculated
Bonus” from employee;

SQL commands
Create Table Command with constraints
► While creating a table constraints can also be imposed on the
columns of a table.
► Constraints in a RDBMS are used to ensure validity of the data.
Examples of some constraints are:

► UNIQUE constraint when imposed on a column makes sure
that the values entered in that column is unique for each

row. A table can have unique constraint imposed on
multiple columns. A column with UNIQUE constraint can
have Null values in it
► NOT NULL Makes sure that NULLs are not accepted in the
specified column.
► Primary Key - Sets a column or a group of columns as the
Primary Key of a table. Once Primary Key constraint is

imposed NULLs and Duplicate values in this column are not
accepted. In a table There can be only one Primary Key
SQL commands
Create Table Command with constraints
Example: CREATE TABLE employee(empno CHAR(6) PRIMARY
KEY, name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL, basic DECIMAL(8,2), dept
VARCHAR(10), dob DATE NOT NULL, Acct_no VARCHAR(10)
Unique);
Difference Between UNIQUE constraint and PRIMARY Key
Constraint
1. Primary key constraint can be imposed on only one
column or combination of columns.
Unique constraint can be imposed on multiple columns.
2. Column defined as Primary Key cannot store Null values.
Columns with Unique constraint can have null values
SQL commands
Update command
Update is the SQL command that changes or modifies data values
in a table. When UPDATE command is given with a condition, the
