Structured Query Language (SQL)
 Declarative query language to create database schemas,
insert, update, delete and query information based on a
data definition and data manipulation language
 Data definition language (DDL)
 definition of database structure (relation schemas)
 data access control
 Data manipulation language (DML)
 query language to create, read, update and delete tuples
(CRUD operations)
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 4March 13, 2015
Structured Query Language (SQL) ...
 The SQL language further deals with the following issues
 transaction control
 integrity constraints (DDL)
 auhorisation (DDL)
 views (DDL)
 embedded SQL and dynamic SQL
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 5March 13, 2015
 SEQUEL (70's)
 structured english query language
 developed by Raymond F. Boyce
and Donald D. Chamberlin
 access data stored in IBM's
System R relational database
 SQL-86
 first ANSI standard version
 SQL-89 / SQL 1
 SQL-92 / SQL 2
 we will mainly discuss features of the SQL-92 standard
History of SQL
Donald D. Chamberlin Raymond F. Boyce
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 6March 13, 2015
History of SQL ...
 SQL:1999 / SQL 3
 recursive queries, triggers, object-oriented features, ...
 SQL:2003
 window functions, XML-related features, ...
 SQL:2006
 XML Query Language (XQuery) support, ...
 SQL:2008
 SQL:2011
 improved support for temporal databases

SQL "Standard"
 Each specific SQL implementation by a database vendor
is called a dialect
 The vendors implement parts of the SQL standard
(e.g. most implement SQL-92) but add their vendor-
specific extensions
 Most relational database vendors conform to a set of
Core SQL features but portability might still be limited
due to missing or additional features
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 8March 13, 2015
Data Definition Language (DDL)
 The data definition language (DDL) is used to specify the
relation schemas as well as other information about the
relations
 relation schemas
 attribute domain types
 integrity constraints
 relation indexes
 access information
 physical storage structure of relations
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 9March 13, 2015
Database Creation
 The concrete process of creating a new database might
differ for different relational database products
 According to the SQL standard, an SQL environment
contains one or more catalogues
 Each catalogue manages various metadata
 set of schemas consisting of
- relations/tables
- views
- assertions
- indexes
 users and user groups
environment
catalogue catalogue
schema
schema schema
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 10March 13, 2015
Database Creation ...
 The creation of catalogues is not covered by the SQL
standard and therefore implementation specific
 Schemas can be created and deleted via the CREATE and
DROP statements
 The default parameter of the DROP SCHEMA statement is
RESTRICT
 only empty schema can be deleted
 If CASCADE is specified, all objects associated with the
schema will be dropped
createSchema = "CREATE SCHEMA" , name , "AUTHORIZATION" , creator ,
[ ddlStatements ];
dropSchema = "DROP SCHEMA" , name , [ "RESTRICT" | "CASCADE" ];

relational database schema
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 14March 13, 2015
Table Definition Example
CREATE TABLE Customer (
customerID INTEGER CHECK (customerID > 0) PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
street VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
postcode SMALLINT CHECK (postcode > 0),
city VARCHAR(20)
);
CREATE TABLE CD (
cdID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
duration TIME,
price NUMERIC(6,2),
year SMALLINT
);
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 15March 13, 2015
Table Definition Example ...
CREATE TABLE Supplier (
supplierID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
postcode SMALLINT CHECK (postcode > 0),
city VARCHAR(20)
);
CREATE TABLE Order (
orderID INTEGER CHECK (orderID > 0) PRIMARY KEY,
customerID INTEGER,
cdID INTEGER ,
date DATE,
amount INTEGER,
Status VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'open',
UNIQUE (customerID, cdID, date),
FOREIGN KEY (customerID) REFERENCES Customer(customerID)
ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE SET NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (cdID) REFERENCES CD(cdID)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
);
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 16March 13, 2015
Table Constraints
 We can have only one PRIMARY KEY constraint but
multiple UNIQUE constraints
 if no primary key is defined, duplicates are allowed (bag)
 Referential integrity
 a foreign key always has to have a matching value in the
referenced table (or it can be null)
 different referential actions can be defined for update (ON UPDATE)
and delete (ON DELETE) operations on the referenced candidate
key
- CASCADE: propagate operations to the foreign keys which might lead to further
cascaded operations
- SET DEFAULT: set the foreign keys to their default value
- SET NULL: set the foreign keys to NULL
- NO ACTION: the operation on the candidate key will be rejected (default)
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 17March 13, 2015
Table Definition
createTable = "CREATE TABLE" , table , "(" ,
( columnElement | tableConstraint ) ,
{ "," , ( columnElement | tableConstraint ) } , ")";
columnElement = column , datatype ,
[ "DEFAULT" , ( value | "NULL" ) ] , { columnConstraint };
columnConstraint = "NOT NULL" | "UNIQUE" | "PRIMARY KEY" |
( "REFERENCES" , table , [ "(" , column , ")" ] ,
{ referentialAction } ) |
( "CHECK (" , searchCondition , ")" );
tableConstraint = ( ( "UNIQUE" | "PRIMARY KEY ) , "(" , column ,
{ "," , column } , ")" ) |
( "FOREIGN KEY (" , column , { "," , column } , ")" ,
"REFERENCES" , table , [ "(" , column , { "," , column } , ")" ] ,

SQL Datatypes
 Character data
 fixed-length or variable-length sequence of characters
 optional multibyte character sets (e.g. for Japanese etc.)
 Large character data or binary data
 often a so-called locator is returned to access a large object in
pieces instead of loading the entire object into memory
char = fixedChar | varyingChar [charSet];
fixedChar = "CHAR" , [ "(" , length , ")" ];
varyingChar = "VARCHAR" , [ "(" , maxLength , ")" ];
charSet = "CHARACTER SET" charSetName;
lob = clob | blob;
clob = "CLOB" , [ "(" , size , ")" ];
blob = "BLOB" , [ "(" , size , ")" ];
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 20March 13, 2015
SQL Datatypes ...
 Numeric data
 The DECIMAL datatype is sometimes used as a synonym
for the NUMERIC datatype
numeric = decimal | int | smallInt | float | real | double;
decimal = "DECIMAL" , [ "(" , precision , [ "," , scale ] , ")" ];
int = "INTEGER";
smallInt = "SMALLINT";
float = "FLOAT" , [ "(" , precision , ")" ];
real = "REAL";
double = "DOUBLE PRECISION";
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 21March 13, 2015
SQL Datatypes ...
 Datetime data
 Format of the datetime values
 date: YYYY-MM-DD
 time: hh:mm:ss.p ± hh:mm
 timestamp: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.p ± hh:mm
datetime = date | time | timestamp;
date = "DATE";
time = "TIME" , [ "(" , precision , ")" ] ,
[ "WITH TIME ZONE" , timezone ];
timestamp = "TIMESTAMP" , [ "(" , precision , ")" ] ,
[ "WITH TIME ZONE" , timezone ];
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 22March 13, 2015
SQL Datatypes ...
 Boolean
 the domain of boolean values consist of the two truth values TRUE
and FALSE
 a thrid UNKNOWN truth value is used to represent NULL values
 introduced in SQL:1999
 Bit data
 fixed or varying sequence of binary digits (0 or 1)
boolean = "BOOLEAN";
bit = fixedBit | varyingBit;
fixedBit = "BIT" , [ "(" , length , ")" ];
varyingBit = "BIT VARYING" , [ "(" , maxLength , ")" ];
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 23March 13, 2015
SQL Datatypes ...
 For further details about the presented datatypes as well
as information about vendor-specific datatypes one has
to consult the specific database manuals
datatype = char | lob | numeric | datetime | boolean | bit;
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 24March 13, 2015
Data Manipulation
 After a table has been created, we can use the INSERT
command to add tuples
 unspecified attribute values are set to the default value or NULL
 attribute order can be changed via optional column names
 "bulk loader" utilities to insert large amounts of tuples
 Example
INSERT INTO Customer VALUES(8,'Max Frisch','ETH Zentrum', 8001, 'Zurich');
insert = "INSERT INTO" , table ,
[ "(" , column , { "," , column } , ")" ] ,
( "VALUES (" , expr , { "," , expr } , ")" ) | ( "(" , query , ")" );
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 25March 13, 2015
Expressions
expr = exprElement { ( "+" | "-" | "*" | "/" ) , exprElement };
exprElement = column | value |
"COUNT" , "(" ( "*" | ( [ "ALL" | "DISTINCT" ] , column ) , ")" |
( "MIN" | "MAX" ) , "(" , expr , ")" |
( "SUM" | "AVG" ) , "(" , [ "DISTINCT" ] , expr , ")";
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 26March 13, 2015
Data Manipulation ...
 The DELETE statement can be used to delete tuples
 Tuples can be updated via the UPDATE statement
 Example
UPDATE Customer SET name = 'Walter Faber' WHERE customerID = 8;
update = "UPDATE" , table , "SET" ,
column , "=" , ( "NULL" | expr | "(" , query , ")" ) ,
{ "," , column , "=" , ("NULL" | expr | "(" , query , ")" ) } ,
[ "WHERE" , searchCondition ];
delete = "DELETE FROM" , table [ "WHERE" , searchCondition ];
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 27March 13, 2015
Data Manipulation ...
 The DROP TABLE statement can be used to delete a
relation from the database
 A relation schema can be modified via the ALTER TABLE
command
 existing tuples are assigned a NULL value for the new attribute
 Example
alterTable = "ALTER TABLE" , table , "ADD" ,
( columnElement | columnConstraint );
ALTER TABLE Customer ADD birthdate DATE;
dropTable = "DROP TABLE" , table;
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 28March 13, 2015
Basic SQL Query Structure
 A basic SQL query consists of a SELECT, a FROM and a
WHERE clause
 SELECT
- specifies the columns to appear in the result (projection in relational algebra)
 FROM
- specifies the relations to be used (cartesian product in relational algebra)
 WHERE
- filters the tuples (selection in relational algebra)
- join conditions are explicitly specified in the WHERE clause
 GROUP BY
- groups rows with the same column values
- the HAVING construct can be used to further filter the groups
 ORDER BY
- defines the order of the resulting tuples
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 29March 13, 2015
Basic SQL Query Structure ...
 In general, the SELECT FROM WHERE parts are evaluated as
follows
1. generate a cartesian product of the relations listed in the FROM
clause
2. apply the predicates specified in the WHERE clause on the result
of the first step
3. for each tuple in the result of the second step output the attri-
butes (or results of expressions) specified in the SELECT clause
 The evaluation is normally optimised by a query optimiser
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 30March 13, 2015
Basic SQL Query Structure ...
 The order of clauses in an SQL query cannot be
changed
 Note that the SELECT is equivalent to a relational algebra
projection
 In contrast to the relational algebra, SQL does not
eliminate duplicates automatically
 the automatic elimination of duplicates would be time consuming
 user has to eliminate duplicates explicitly via DISTINCT keyword
SELECT A1, A2,..., An
FROM r1, r2,..., rm
WHERE P
pA1,A2,...,An
(sP(r1  r2  ...  rm)
is equivalent to
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 31March 13, 2015
SELECT Clause
 A '*' can be used in the SELECT clause as a shortcut to
get all tuple attributes
SELECT *
FROM Customer;
customerID name street postcode city

5 Claude Debussy 12 Rue Louise 75008 Paris
53 Albert Einstein Bergstrasse 18 8037 Zurich
8 Max Frisch ETH Zentrum 8092 Zurich
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 32March 13, 2015
SELECT Clause ...
 Duplicate tuples resulting from a projection to specific
attributes are not eliminated by default
SELECT name
FROM Customer;
name
Max Frisch
Eddy Merckx
Claude Debussy
Albert Einstein
Max Frisch
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 33March 13, 2015
SELECT Clause ...
 The DISTINCT keyword can be used to eliminate
duplicates
SELECT DISTINCT name
FROM Customer;
name
Max Frisch
Eddy Merckx
Claude Debussy
Albert Einstein
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 34March 13, 2015
Computed Attributes and Rename
 Computations can be performed in the SELECT clause
 multiple numeric attributes can be used in a computation
 The rename operation (AS) is used to rename relations
as well as attributes
 computed columns have no name by default
 also used when multiple relations have the same attribute names
SELECT name, price * 1.5 AS newPrice
FROM CD;
name newPrice

Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 35March 13, 2015
WHERE Clause
 In the WHERE clause we can use five basic predicates
(search conditions)
 comparison
- compare two expressions
 range
- check whether the value is within a specified range of values (BETWEEN)
 set membership
- check whether the value is equal to a value of a given set (IN)
 pattern matching
- test whether the expression matches a specifies string pattern (LIKE)
 check for NULL values
- check whether the expression is a NULL value (IS NULL)
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 36March 13, 2015
WHERE Clause ...
SELECT name, postcode
FROM Customer
WHERE city = 'Zurich' AND postcode >= 8040;
name postcode
Max Frisch 8092
SELECT name, price
FROM CD
WHERE price BETWEEN 15.0 AND 17.0;
name price
Carcassonne 15.50
Chromatic 16.50
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 37March 13, 2015
WHERE Clause ...
 Check for set membership with the IN construct
SELECT *
FROM Customer
WHERE city IN ('Zurich', 'Brussels');
customerID name street postcode city
1 Max Frisch Bahnhofstrasse 7 8001 Zurich
2 Eddy Merckx Pleinlaan 25 1050 Brussels
53 Albert Einstein Bergstrasse 18 8037 Zurich
8 Max Frisch ETH Zentrum 8092 Zurich
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 38March 13, 2015
Pattern Matching
 Strings are enclosed in single quotes
 use a double single quote for escaping
 The LIKE operator is used for pattern matching
 the underscore (_) is a placeholder for a single character
 the percent sign (%) is a placeholder for any substring
 e.g. LIKE '_e%'
name
Albert Einstein
SELECT DISTINCT name
FROM Customer
WHERE name LIKE '%Ein%';
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 39March 13, 2015
Null Values
 Missing (unknown) info is represented by NULL values
 result of any comparison involving a NULL value is Unknown
 three-valued logic (3VL) based on True, False and Unknown
True False Unknown
True True False Unknown
False False False False
Unknown Unknown False Unknown
AND
True False Unknown
True True True True
False True False Unknown
Unknown True Unknown Unknown
OR
=
True False Unknown
True True False Unknown
False False True Unknown
Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown
NOT
True False Unknown
False True Unknown
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 40March 13, 2015
Null Values ...
 The NULL keyword can also be used in predicates to
check for null values
 Note that a check for NULL is not the same as a check for
the empty String ''
SELECT *
FROM CD
WHERE price IS NOT NULL;
cdID name duration price year

3 Chromatic 3012 16.50 1993
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 41March 13, 2015
FROM Clause
 The FROM clause creates a cartesian product of multiple
relations and can be used to specify join operations
 In a previous lecture we have seen the following
relational algebra expression
- "list the name and street of customers whose order is still open"
- pname, street(sstatus="open"(order ⋈ customer))
- the same can be achieved in SQL by explicitly specifying the matching attributes
SELECT name, street
FROM Customer, Order
WHERE Order.customerID = Customer.customerID AND status = 'open';
name street

Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 42March 13, 2015
Inner and Outer Joins
 Note that there exist SQL extensions to perform join
operations between two relations R and S in the FROM
clause
 Inner Joins
 Outer Joins
SELECT * FROM R NATURAL JOIN S;
SELECT * FROM R CROSS JOIN S;
SELECT * FROM R JOIN S ON R.A > S.B;
SELECT * FROM R LEFT OUTER JOIN S ON R.A = S.B;
SELECT * FROM R RIGHT OUTER JOIN S ON R.A = S.B;
SELECT * FROM R FULL OUTER JOIN S ON R.A = S.B;
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 43March 13, 2015
Correlation Variable
 A correlation variable can be used as an alias for a table
 Example
 "Find all pairs of CDs that were produced in the same year"
SELECT c1.name AS name1, c2.name AS name2
FROM CD c1, CD c2
WHERE c1.year = c2.year AND c1.cdID < c2.cdID;
name1 name2
Carcassonne Chromatic
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 44March 13, 2015
Sorting
 The ORDER BY clause can be used to arrange the result
tuples in acending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order
 multiple sort keys can be specified; highest priority first
 tuples with NULL values are either before or after non-NULL tuples
SELECT name, street, city
FROM Customer
ORDER BY city ASC, name DESC;
name street city

Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 45March 13, 2015
Set Operations
 The UNION, INTERSECT and EXCEPT operations correspond
to the , and - relational algebra operations
 the relations have to be compatible (same attributes)
 these operations remove duplicates by default
- the ALL keyword has to be used to retain duplicates
(SELECT name
FROM Customer)
INTERSECT
(SELECT name
FROM Supplier);
name
Max Frisch
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 46March 13, 2015
Aggregate Functions and Grouping
 In SQL there are five aggregate functions (MIN, MAX, AVG,
SUM and COUNT) that take a set or multiset of values as
input and return a single value
 Example
 "Find the number of customers in each city"
 Aggregate functions (except COUNT(*)) ignore NULL
values in the input set
 input set might be empty in which case NULL is returned
SELECT city, COUNT(customerID) AS number
FROM Customer
GROUP BY city;
city number

Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 47March 13, 2015
Subqueries
 A subquery is a SELECT FROM WHERE expression that is
nested within another query
 e.g. via check for set membership (IN or NOT IN)
 Example
 "Find all the suppliers who are no customers"
SELECT DISTINCT name
FROM Supplier
WHERE name NOT IN (SELECT name
FROM Customer);
name
Mario Botta
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 48March 13, 2015
Nested Subqueries ...
 Example
 "Find all CDs with a price smaller than average"
SELECT *
FROM CD
WHERE price < (SELECT AVG(price)
FROM CD;
cdID name duration price year

3 Chromatic 3012 16.50 1993
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 49March 13, 2015
Set Comparison
 For nested queries with conditions like "greater than at
least one" we can use these set comparison operators
 > SOME, >= SOME, < SOME, <= SOME, = SOME, <> SOME as well as the
same combination with ALL
 Example
 "Find the customers with a postcode greater than all supplier postcodes"
SELECT name ,postcode
FROM Customer
WHERE postcode > ALL (SELECT postcode
FROM Supplier);
name postcode
Claude Debussy 75008
Max Frisch 8092
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 50March 13, 2015
Existence Test
 The EXISTS operator can be used to check if a tuple
exists in a subquery
 Example
SELECT name
FROM Customer
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT *
FROM Supplier
WHERE Supplier.name = Customer.name);
name
Max Frisch
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 51March 13, 2015
Derived Relations
 A subquery expression can also be used in the FROM
clause
 in this case, a name has to be given to the relation
 Example
 "Find the number of customers in the city with the most
customers"
SELECT MAX(noCustomers) AS max
FROM (SELECT city, COUNT(customerID)
FROM Customer
GROUP BY city) AS CityTotal(city, noCustomers);
max

Basic SQL Query Structure
 The query statement can be used to retrieve information
from one or multiple database tables
 can perform the relational algebra's selection, projection and join
operation in a single SELECT FROM WHERE command
query = select { ("UNION" | "INTERSECT" | "EXCEPT") , [ "ALL" ] , select};
select = "SELECT" [ "ALL" | "DISTINCT" ] ,
("*" | ( expr , [ "AS" , newName ] ,

WITH Clause
 The WITH clause can be used to improve the readability
by introducing temporary new relations
 introduced only in SQL:1999 and not supported by all databases
 Example
 "Find all customers who bought one of the most expensive CDs"
WITH Expensive(price) AS
SELECT MAX(price)
FROM CD
SELECT Customer.name
FROM Customer, CD, Order
WHERE CD.price = Expensive.price AND CD.cdID = Order.cdID AND
Order.customerID = Customer.customerID;
name

Views
 New virtual relations (views) can be defined on top of an
existing logical model
 simplify queries
 provide access to only parts of the logical model (security)
 computed by executing the query whenever the view is used
 Some DBMS allow views to be stored (materialised
views)
 materialised views have to be updated when its relations change
(view maintenance)
createView = "CREATE VIEW" , table ,
[ "(" , column , { "," , column } , ")" ] ,
"AS" , query;
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 56March 13, 2015
Views
 Example
 Note that a view can be used like any other relation
 Views are useful for queries but they present a serious
problem for UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE operations
 modifications are difficult to be propagated to the actual relations
 modifications on views are therefore generally not permitted
CREATE VIEW CustomerCD AS
SELECT Customer.customerID, Customer.name, CD.cdID, CD.name AS cdName
FROM Customer, Order, CD
WHERE Customer.customerID = Order.customerID AND
Order.cdID = CD.cdID;
Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 57March 13, 2015
Transactions
 A transaction consists of a sequence of query and/or
update statements
 atomic set of statements
 A transaction explicitly starts when an SQL statement is
executed and is ended by
 a COMMIT statement
 a ROLLBACK statement
 In many SQL implementations each SQL statement is a
transaction on its own (automatic commit)
 this default behaviour can be disabled
 SQL:1999 introduced BEGIN ATOMIC ... END blocks
 Transactions will be discussed in detail later

Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 7March 13, 2015 SQL "Standard"  Each specific SQL implementation by a database vendor is called a dialect  The vendors implement parts of the SQL standard (e.g. most implement SQL-92) but add their vendor- specific extensions  Most relational database vendors conform to a set of Core SQL features but portability might still be limited due to missing or additional features
  • 8. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 8March 13, 2015 Data Definition Language (DDL)  The data definition language (DDL) is used to specify the relation schemas as well as other information about the relations  relation schemas  attribute domain types  integrity constraints  relation indexes  access information  physical storage structure of relations
  • 9. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 9March 13, 2015 Database Creation  The concrete process of creating a new database might differ for different relational database products  According to the SQL standard, an SQL environment contains one or more catalogues  Each catalogue manages various metadata  set of schemas consisting of - relations/tables - views - assertions - indexes  users and user groups environment catalogue catalogue schema schema schema
  • 10. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 10March 13, 2015 Database Creation ...  The creation of catalogues is not covered by the SQL standard and therefore implementation specific  Schemas can be created and deleted via the CREATE and DROP statements  The default parameter of the DROP SCHEMA statement is RESTRICT  only empty schema can be deleted  If CASCADE is specified, all objects associated with the schema will be dropped createSchema = "CREATE SCHEMA" , name , "AUTHORIZATION" , creator , [ ddlStatements ]; dropSchema = "DROP SCHEMA" , name , [ "RESTRICT" | "CASCADE" ];

  • 26. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 26March 13, 2015 Data Manipulation ...  The DELETE statement can be used to delete tuples  Tuples can be updated via the UPDATE statement  Example UPDATE Customer SET name = 'Walter Faber' WHERE customerID = 8; update = "UPDATE" , table , "SET" , column , "=" , ( "NULL" | expr | "(" , query , ")" ) , { "," , column , "=" , ("NULL" | expr | "(" , query , ")" ) } , [ "WHERE" , searchCondition ]; delete = "DELETE FROM" , table [ "WHERE" , searchCondition ];
  • 27. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 27March 13, 2015 Data Manipulation ...  The DROP TABLE statement can be used to delete a relation from the database  A relation schema can be modified via the ALTER TABLE command  existing tuples are assigned a NULL value for the new attribute  Example alterTable = "ALTER TABLE" , table , "ADD" , ( columnElement | columnConstraint ); ALTER TABLE Customer ADD birthdate DATE; dropTable = "DROP TABLE" , table;
  • 28. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 28March 13, 2015 Basic SQL Query Structure  A basic SQL query consists of a SELECT, a FROM and a WHERE clause  SELECT - specifies the columns to appear in the result (projection in relational algebra)  FROM - specifies the relations to be used (cartesian product in relational algebra)  WHERE - filters the tuples (selection in relational algebra) - join conditions are explicitly specified in the WHERE clause  GROUP BY - groups rows with the same column values - the HAVING construct can be used to further filter the groups  ORDER BY - defines the order of the resulting tuples
  • 29. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 29March 13, 2015 Basic SQL Query Structure ...  In general, the SELECT FROM WHERE parts are evaluated as follows 1. generate a cartesian product of the relations listed in the FROM clause 2. apply the predicates specified in the WHERE clause on the result of the first step 3. for each tuple in the result of the second step output the attri- butes (or results of expressions) specified in the SELECT clause  The evaluation is normally optimised by a query optimiser
  • 30. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 30March 13, 2015 Basic SQL Query Structure ...  The order of clauses in an SQL query cannot be changed  Note that the SELECT is equivalent to a relational algebra projection  In contrast to the relational algebra, SQL does not eliminate duplicates automatically  the automatic elimination of duplicates would be time consuming  user has to eliminate duplicates explicitly via DISTINCT keyword SELECT A1, A2,..., An FROM r1, r2,..., rm WHERE P pA1,A2,...,An (sP(r1  r2  ...  rm) is equivalent to
  • 31. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 31March 13, 2015 SELECT Clause  A '*' can be used in the SELECT clause as a shortcut to get all tuple attributes SELECT * FROM Customer; customerID name street postcode city 1 Max Frisch Bahnhofstrasse 7 8001 Zurich 2 Eddy Merckx Pleinlaan 25 1050 Brussels 5 Claude Debussy 12 Rue Louise 75008 Paris 53 Albert Einstein Bergstrasse 18 8037 Zurich 8 Max Frisch ETH Zentrum 8092 Zurich

  • 34. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 34March 13, 2015 Computed Attributes and Rename  Computations can be performed in the SELECT clause  multiple numeric attributes can be used in a computation  The rename operation (AS) is used to rename relations as well as attributes  computed columns have no name by default  also used when multiple relations have the same attribute names SELECT name, price * 1.5 AS newPrice FROM CD; name newPrice Falling into Place 26.85 Carcassonne 23.20 Chromatic 24.75
  • 35. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 35March 13, 2015 WHERE Clause  In the WHERE clause we can use five basic predicates (search conditions)  comparison - compare two expressions  range - check whether the value is within a specified range of values (BETWEEN)  set membership - check whether the value is equal to a value of a given set (IN)  pattern matching - test whether the expression matches a specifies string pattern (LIKE)  check for NULL values - check whether the expression is a NULL value (IS NULL)
  • 36. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 36March 13, 2015 WHERE Clause ... SELECT name, postcode FROM Customer WHERE city = 'Zurich' AND postcode >= 8040; name postcode Max Frisch 8092 SELECT name, price FROM CD WHERE price BETWEEN 15.0 AND 17.0; name price Carcassonne 15.50 Chromatic 16.50

Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 37March 13, 2015 WHERE Clause ...  Check for set membership with the IN construct SELECT * FROM Customer WHERE city IN ('Zurich', 'Brussels'); customerID name street postcode city 1 Max Frisch Bahnhofstrasse 7 8001 Zurich 2 Eddy Merckx Pleinlaan 25 1050 Brussels 53 Albert Einstein Bergstrasse 18 8037 Zurich 8 Max Frisch ETH Zentrum 8092 Zurich
  • 38. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 38March 13, 2015 Pattern Matching  Strings are enclosed in single quotes  use a double single quote for escaping  The LIKE operator is used for pattern matching  the underscore (_) is a placeholder for a single character  the percent sign (%) is a placeholder for any substring  e.g. LIKE '_e%' name Albert Einstein SELECT DISTINCT name FROM Customer WHERE name LIKE '%Ein%';
  • 39. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 39March 13, 2015 Null Values  Missing (unknown) info is represented by NULL values  result of any comparison involving a NULL value is Unknown  three-valued logic (3VL) based on True, False and Unknown True False Unknown True True False Unknown False False False False Unknown Unknown False Unknown AND True False Unknown True True True True False True False Unknown Unknown True Unknown Unknown OR = True False Unknown True True False Unknown False False True Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown Unknown NOT True False Unknown False True Unknown
  • 40. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 40March 13, 2015 Null Values ...  The NULL keyword can also be used in predicates to check for null values  Note that a check for NULL is not the same as a check for the empty String '' SELECT * FROM CD WHERE price IS NOT NULL; cdID name duration price year 1 Falling into Place 2007 17.90 2007 2 Carcassonne 3156 15.50 1993 3 Chromatic 3012 16.50 1993
  • 41. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 41March 13, 2015 FROM Clause  The FROM clause creates a cartesian product of multiple relations and can be used to specify join operations  In a previous lecture we have seen the following relational algebra expression - "list the name and street of customers whose order is still open" - pname, street(sstatus="open"(order ⋈ customer)) - the same can be achieved in SQL by explicitly specifying the matching attributes SELECT name, street FROM Customer, Order WHERE Order.customerID = Customer.customerID AND status = 'open'; name street Albert Einstein Bergstrasse 18
  • 42. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 42March 13, 2015 Inner and Outer Joins  Note that there exist SQL extensions to perform join operations between two relations R and S in the FROM clause  Inner Joins  Outer Joins SELECT * FROM R NATURAL JOIN S; SELECT * FROM R CROSS JOIN S; SELECT * FROM R JOIN S ON R.A > S.B; SELECT * FROM R LEFT OUTER JOIN S ON R.A = S.B; SELECT * FROM R RIGHT OUTER JOIN S ON R.A = S.B; SELECT * FROM R FULL OUTER JOIN S ON R.A = S.B;
  • 43. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 43March 13, 2015 Correlation Variable  A correlation variable can be used as an alias for a table  Example  "Find all pairs of CDs that were produced in the same year" SELECT c1.name AS name1, c2.name AS name2 FROM CD c1, CD c2 WHERE c1.year = c2.year AND c1.cdID < c2.cdID; name1 name2 Carcassonne Chromatic
  • 44. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 44March 13, 2015 Sorting  The ORDER BY clause can be used to arrange the result tuples in acending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order  multiple sort keys can be specified; highest priority first  tuples with NULL values are either before or after non-NULL tuples SELECT name, street, city FROM Customer ORDER BY city ASC, name DESC; name street city Eddy Merckx Pleinlaan 25 Brussels Claude Debussy 12 Rue Louise Paris Max Frisch ETH Zentrum Zurich Max Frisch Bahnhofstrasse 7 Zurich Albert Einstein Bergstrasse 18 Zurich
  • 45. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 45March 13, 2015 Set Operations  The UNION, INTERSECT and EXCEPT operations correspond to the , and - relational algebra operations  the relations have to be compatible (same attributes)  these operations remove duplicates by default - the ALL keyword has to be used to retain duplicates (SELECT name FROM Customer) INTERSECT (SELECT name FROM Supplier); name Max Frisch
  • 46. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 46March 13, 2015 Aggregate Functions and Grouping  In SQL there are five aggregate functions (MIN, MAX, AVG, SUM and COUNT) that take a set or multiset of values as input and return a single value  Example  "Find the number of customers in each city"  Aggregate functions (except COUNT(*)) ignore NULL values in the input set  input set might be empty in which case NULL is returned SELECT city, COUNT(customerID) AS number FROM Customer GROUP BY city; city number Zurich 3 Brussels 1 Paris 1
  • 47. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 47March 13, 2015 Subqueries  A subquery is a SELECT FROM WHERE expression that is nested within another query  e.g. via check for set membership (IN or NOT IN)  Example  "Find all the suppliers who are no customers" SELECT DISTINCT name FROM Supplier WHERE name NOT IN (SELECT name FROM Customer); name Mario Botta
  • 48. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 48March 13, 2015 Nested Subqueries ...  Example  "Find all CDs with a price smaller than average" SELECT * FROM CD WHERE price < (SELECT AVG(price) FROM CD; cdID name duration price year 2 Carcassonne 3156 15.50 1993 3 Chromatic 3012 16.50 1993
  • 49. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 49March 13, 2015 Set Comparison  For nested queries with conditions like "greater than at least one" we can use these set comparison operators  > SOME, >= SOME, < SOME, <= SOME, = SOME, <> SOME as well as the same combination with ALL  Example  "Find the customers with a postcode greater than all supplier postcodes" SELECT name ,postcode FROM Customer WHERE postcode > ALL (SELECT postcode FROM Supplier); name postcode Claude Debussy 75008 Max Frisch 8092
  • 50. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 50March 13, 2015 Existence Test  The EXISTS operator can be used to check if a tuple exists in a subquery  Example SELECT name FROM Customer WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Supplier WHERE Supplier.name = Customer.name); name Max Frisch
  • 51. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 51March 13, 2015 Derived Relations  A subquery expression can also be used in the FROM clause  in this case, a name has to be given to the relation  Example  "Find the number of customers in the city with the most customers" SELECT MAX(noCustomers) AS max FROM (SELECT city, COUNT(customerID) FROM Customer GROUP BY city) AS CityTotal(city, noCustomers); max 3
  • 52. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 52March 13, 2015 Basic SQL Query Structure  The query statement can be used to retrieve information from one or multiple database tables  can perform the relational algebra's selection, projection and join operation in a single SELECT FROM WHERE command query = select { ("UNION" | "INTERSECT" | "EXCEPT") , [ "ALL" ] , select}; select = "SELECT" [ "ALL" | "DISTINCT" ] , ("*" | ( expr , [ "AS" , newName ] , { "," , expr , [ "AS" , newName ] } ) , "FROM" , table , [ correlationVar ] , { "," , table , [ correlationVar ] } , [ "WHERE" , searchCondition ] , [ "GROUP BY" , column , { "," , column } , [ "HAVING" , searchCondition ] ]; orderedQuery = query , "ORDER BY" , column , [ "ASC" | "DESC" ] , { "," , column , [ "ASC" | "DESC" ] };
  • 53. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 53March 13, 2015 Basic SQL Query Structure ... searchCondition = [ "NOT" ] , search , { ( "AND" | "OR" ) , [ "NOT" ] , search }; search = ( expr , [ "NOT" ] , "BETWEEN" , expr , "AND" , expr ) | ( expr , [ "NOT" ] , "LIKE" , "'" , ( string | "_" | "%" ) , { string | "_" | "%" } , "'" ) | ( column | ( "(" , expr , ")" ) , "IS" , [ "NOT" ] , "NULL" ) | ( expr , ( "=" | "<>" | ">" | ">=" | "<" | "<=" ) , ( expr | ( [ "SOME" | "ALL" ] , "(" , query , ")" ) ) ) | ( expr , [ "NOT" ] , "IN (" , ( ( value , { "," , value } ) | query ) , ")" | ( "EXISTS (" , query , ")";
  • 54. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 54March 13, 2015 WITH Clause  The WITH clause can be used to improve the readability by introducing temporary new relations  introduced only in SQL:1999 and not supported by all databases  Example  "Find all customers who bought one of the most expensive CDs" WITH Expensive(price) AS SELECT MAX(price) FROM CD SELECT Customer.name FROM Customer, CD, Order WHERE CD.price = Expensive.price AND CD.cdID = Order.cdID AND Order.customerID = Customer.customerID; name Albert Einstein
  • 55. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 55March 13, 2015 Views  New virtual relations (views) can be defined on top of an existing logical model  simplify queries  provide access to only parts of the logical model (security)  computed by executing the query whenever the view is used  Some DBMS allow views to be stored (materialised views)  materialised views have to be updated when its relations change (view maintenance) createView = "CREATE VIEW" , table , [ "(" , column , { "," , column } , ")" ] , "AS" , query;
  • 56. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 56March 13, 2015 Views  Example  Note that a view can be used like any other relation  Views are useful for queries but they present a serious problem for UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE operations  modifications are difficult to be propagated to the actual relations  modifications on views are therefore generally not permitted CREATE VIEW CustomerCD AS SELECT Customer.customerID, Customer.name, CD.cdID, CD.name AS cdName FROM Customer, Order, CD WHERE Customer.customerID = Order.customerID AND Order.cdID = CD.cdID;
  • 57. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.ac.be 57March 13, 2015 Transactions  A transaction consists of a sequence of query and/or update statements  atomic set of statements  A transaction explicitly starts when an SQL statement is executed and is ended by  a COMMIT statement  a ROLLBACK statement  In many SQL implementations each SQL statement is a transaction on its own (automatic commit)  this default behaviour can be disabled  SQL:1999 introduced BEGIN ATOMIC ... END blocks  Transactions will be discussed in detail later
