SQL languages

DDL is short name of Data Definition Language, which deals with database schemas and descriptions, of how the data should reside in the database.

DML is short name of Data Manipulation Language which deals with data manipulation, and includes most common SQL statements such SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE etc, and it is used to store, modify, retrieve, delete and update data in database.

DCL is short name of Data Control Language which includes commands such as GRANT, and mostly concerned with rights, permissions and other controls of the database system.

Datatypes

Text types

Data type	Description
CHAR(size)	Holds a fixed length string (can contain letters, numbers, and special characters). The fixed size is specified in parenthesis. Can store up to 255 characters
VARCHAR(size)	Holds a variable length string (can contain letters, numbers, and special characters). The maximum size is specified in parenthesis. Can store up to 255 characters. Note: If you put a greater value than 255 it will be converted to a TEXT type
TINYTEXT	Holds a string with a maximum length of 255 characters
TEXT	Holds a string with a maximum length of 65,535 characters
BLOB	For BLOBs (Binary Large OBjects). Holds up to 65,535 bytes of data
MEDIUMTEXT	Holds a string with a maximum length of 16,777,215 characters

ENUM(x,y,z,etc.)	Let you enter a list of possible values. You can list up to 65535 values in an ENUM list. If a value is inserted that is not in the list, a blank value will be inserted.Note: The values are sorted in the order you enter them.You enter the possible values in this format: ENUM(‘X’,‘Y’,‘Z’)

from tbl_stueck
join tass_stueck_sampler on id_fi_stueck_nr = id_stueck_nr

About Joins

![sql 1=“summary” language=“join”]/sql

SELECT customers.id, customers.name, items.name, customers.state 
FROM customers, items
WHERE customers.id=seller_id
ORDER BY customers.id

Join tables -> Joining two tables together in a query output. The third line is important because it shows how the two tables are related (in this case it is their key values).

SELECT customers.name, items.name FROM customers
LEFT OUTER JOIN items ON customers.id=seller_id

LEFT/RIGHT OUTER JOIN -> Takes the table left of the word ‘LEFT’ or ‘RIGHT’ (in this case customers) and joins it regardless of whether it has any values or not. So the above statement shows all users/customers, even if they aren’t selling anything.

Select with Subqueries

Select max and min values

select dt_stueck_titel as Titel, dt_zeit as Zeit
from tbl_stueck
where dt_zeit = (select max(dt_zeit) from tbl_stueck)
or dt_zeit = (select min(dt_zeit) from tbl_stueck)
order by dt_zeit;

Select with query in condition

select dt_stueck_titel as Titel, dt_zeit as Zeit
from tbl_stueck
where dt_zeit between (select avg(dt_zeit) from tbl_stueck)*0.9
and (select avg(dt_zeit) from tbl_stueck)*1.1
order by dt_zeit;

Select query as value

select dt_stueck_titel as Titel,
dt_zeit/(select avg(dt_zeit) from tbl_stueck)*100 as Zeit
from tbl_stueck
where dt_stueck_titel = 'You Shook Me'

Union

Unify two result sets with a condition

select *  from
(select dt_stueck_titel as titel, 'stÃ¼ck' as 'type' from tbl_stueck
union
select dt_name as titel,  'inter' as 'type' from tkey_interpret
union
select dt_stao as titel,  'stao' as 'type' from tkey_standort) as t
where t.titel like '%boy%'

Transactions

Run a transaction

begin transaction
update tass_police set bezahlt = 0 where id_fi_kunde = 3533 and id_fi_vers_art = 1700
commit
-- or rollback

Function

A function can be called from inside a statement just like any other function and can return a scalar value.

Create - Get value from table

create function f_plic_bez()
  returns decimal(10,2)
  as begin
  return (select sum(bezahlt) from tass_police)
  end;
go
select  dbo.f_plic_bez() AS 'Summe aller bezahlten Leistungen'
go

Drop

drop function f_bezahlt_versich

Create - With parameters

create function f_rabatt(@name varchar(40), @vers varchar(30))
  returns int
  as begin
  return (select (praem_stufe-100)*10 from  tass_police
  join tbl_kunde on id_fi_kunde = id_kunde
  join tkey_versicherung on id_fi_vers_art = id_vers_art
  where name = @name and vers_bez = @vers)
  end

Procedure

Stored procedures are stored as precompilated code (stored routine) and called by the programmer wherever it wants to fire. Stored procedure can return value(s).

Create and execute

CREATE PROCEDURE p_polic_del @fname VARCHAR(30), @versich VARCHAR(30)
  AS
  BEGIN
    DELETE FROM tass_police
      FROM tbl_kunde, tkey_versicherung
        WHERE name = @fname
          AND id_kunde = id_fi_kunde
          AND id_fi_vers_art = id_vers_art
          AND vers_bez = @versich
    IF @@ROWCOUNT = 0
      PRINT 'Police existiert nicht.'
      ELSE PRINT 'LÃ¶schung vollzogen.'
  END
GO

EXECUTE p_polic_del 'Meier', 'Taggeld';

Variables

Declare

DECLARE @veraenderung SMALLINT = 180;
DECLARE @neue_summe INT;

Trigger

Triggers are named database objects fired automatically when insert, delete, update (or other event) occurred, there can be no explicit invocation. Trigger can not return any data.

Create simple

create trigger t_ort on tbl_kunde
  after insert, update
  as beginn
    set @ort = select wohnort from inserted)
    if((@ort like '/^[A-Z]') && len(@ort) < 2)
      rollback transaction
  end
end

Drop

drop trigger t_ort

Checks the referential integrity

create trigger t_bst_mut on bst
	for insert, update
	as
	begin
		set nocount on;
		if(select id_fi_k from inserted) NOT IN (select id_kund from knd)
			begin
				raiserror('Es besteht kein entsprechender Kunde.', 15, 1);
				rollback transaction;
			end
	end;

Replaces on delete no action

create trigger t_ku_del on knd
	for delete
	as
	begin
		set nocount on;
		if((select id_kunde from deleted) IN (select id_fi_k from bst))
			begin
				raiserror('LÃ¶schung verwert; es bestehen noch Bestelungen fÃ¼r diesen Kunden.', 15, 1)
				rollback transaction
			end
	end;

Replaces on update cascade

create trigger t_update_knd on knd
	after update
	as
	begin
		set nocount on;
		update bst set id_fi_k = (select id_kund from inserted)
	end;

Replaces on delete cascade

create trigger t_delete_knd on knd
	after delete
	as
	begin
		delete from bst where id_fi_k = (select id_kund from deleted)
	end;
