SQL general syntax
A single statement is ended with SEMICOLON.
Predefined KEYWORDs represent clauses (components) of a statement.
Keywords are NOT case sensitive. Examples:
3

SQL Statements
Data Definition Language (DDL) Creating database structure
CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, DROP TABLE Data Manipulation Language (DML)
Adding and Manipulating database contents (rows) INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
Retrieving data from database SELECT
Data Control Language (DCL) Set permissions on objects
GRANT

CREATE A TABLE (DDL)

Common ORACLE data types
Text: CHAR(size), VARCHAR2(size)
e.g., CHAR(10), VARCHAR2(10)
CHAR(10) apple = apple
VARCHAR2(10) apple != apple
Numbers: NUMBER(precision, scale)
Weight NUMBER(7) or NUMBER(7,0) Weight = 7456124 Weight NUMBER(9,2) Weight = 7456123.89
Weight NUMBER(8,1) Weight = 7456123.9
Data/Time: DATE, TIMESTAMP
DATE can store a date and time (time to seconds), stored as Julian date
TIMESTAMP can store a date and a time (up to fractions of a second)
TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE

Column VS Table Level Constraints
CREATE TABLE STUDENT (
stu_nbr NUMBER(6) NOT NULL,
stud_lname VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
stud_fname VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
stu_dob DATE NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT STUDENT_PK PRIMARY KEY (stu_nbr)
column constraints
);
table constraint

CREATE TABLE student (
stu_nbr
stu_lname
stu_fname
stu_dob
CONSTRAINT pk_student PRIMARY KEY (stu_nbr)
);
CREATE TABLE unit (
unit_code CHAR(8) NOT NULL,
unit_name VARCHAR(50) CONSTRAINT uq_unit_name UNIQUE NOT NULL , CONSTRAINT pk_unit PRIMARY KEY (unit_code)
);
NUMBER(8) VARCHAR(50) VARCHAR(50) DATE
NOT NULL, NOT NULL, NOT NULL, NOT NULL,

TABLE enrolment (
stu_nbr
unit_code
enrol_year
enrol_semester CHAR(2)
enrol_mark NUMBER(3) ,
enrol_grade CHAR(2),
CONSTRAINT pk_enrolment PRIMARY KEY (stu_nbr, unit_code, enrol_year, enrol_semester), CONSTRAINT fk_enrolment_student FOREIGN KEY (stu_nbr) REFERENCES student (stu_nbr), CONSTRAINT fk_enrolment_unit FOREIGN KEY (unit_code) REFERENCES unit (unit_code)

CREATE TABLE enrolment (

ALTER TABLE enrolment ADD
( CONSTRAINT fk_enrolment_student FOREIGN KEY (stu_nbr) REFERENCES student ( stu_nbr),
CONSTRAINT fk_enrolment_unit FOREIGN KEY (unit_code) REFERENCES unit (unit_code));
NUMBER(8) NOT NULL, CHAR(8) NOT NULL, NUMBER(4) NOT NULL, CHAR(2) NOT NULL, NUMBER(3),
CHAR(2),
CONSTRAINT pk_enrolment PRIMARY KEY (stu_nbr, unit_code, enrol_year, enrol_semester)

Referential Integrity
To ensure referential integrity, SQL defines three possible actions for FKs in relations when a deletion of a primary key occurs:
RESTRICT (Oracle No Action basically equivalent)
Deletion of tuples is NOT ALLOWED for those tuples in the table referred by the FK (the table containing PK) if there is corresponding tuple in the table containing the FK.
CASCADE
A deletion of a tuple in the table referred by the FK (the table containing PK) will result in the deletion of the corresponding tuples in the table containing the FK.
NULLIFY
A deletion of a tuple in the table referred by the FK (the table containing PK) will result in the update of the corresponding tuples in the table containing the FK to NULL.

What Referential Integrity Constraint to implement?
Use the model to decide on what referential integrity constraint to implement.
Mandatory vs Optional participation.
The constraints must be decided at the design phase.
17 17

Used to change a tables structure.
For example:
Adding column(s).
Removing column(s).
Adding constraint(s).
Removing constraint(s)

Referential Integrity Definition Example
ALTER TABLE enrolment
DROP CONSTRAINT fk_enrolment_student;
ALTER TABLE enrolment
DROP CONSTRAINT fk_enrolment_unit;
ALTER TABLE enrolment ADD
( CONSTRAINT fk_enrolment_student FOREIGN KEY (stu_nbr) REFERENCES student ( stu_nbr) ON DELETE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT fk_enrolment_unit FOREIGN KEY (unit_code) REFERENCES unit (unit_code) ON DELETE CASCADE
);

DELETING A TABLE
Use the DROP statement. Examples:

ADDING TUPLES/ROWS TO A TABLE (DML)

INSERT

25 25

COMMIT and ROLLBACK
