DML OPERATIONS:





Data Manipulation Language is a one of the Subset of SQL.
These SQL commands are used to store, modify, and delete data from database tables. In this category we have INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands. Different DML statements are
• Select
• Insert
• Update
• Delete
Select: The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database. The result is stored in a result table, called the result-set.
The SELECT command is the most commonly used command in SQL. It allows database users to retrieve the specific information they desire from an operational database.
Syntax:
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
and
SELECT * FROM table_name
Example: consider the table student_details. To select the first name of all the students the query would be
SELECT first_name FROM student_details;
If we want to select all the columns from the table, we use the following SELECT statement:
SELECT * FROM student_details;
Insert: The INSERT INTO statement is used to insert new records in a table. We can insert data to a table in two ways,
Inserting the data directly to a table:
Syntax:
INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME
[(col1, col2, col3,...colN)]
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...valueN);
col1, col2,...colN are the names of the columns in the table into which you want to insert data.
While inserting a row, if you are adding value for all the columns of the table you need not specify the column(s) name in the sql query. But you need to make sure the order of the values is in the same order as the columns in the table. The sql insert query will be as follows
INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...valueN);
Example: If you want to insert a row to the employee table, the query would be like,
INSERT INTO employee (id, name, dept, age, salary) VALUES (105, 'Srinath', 'Aeronautics', 27, 33000);
Inserting data to a table through a select statement:
Syntax:
INSERT INTO table_name
[(column1, column2, ... columnN)]
SELECT column1, column2, ...columnN
FROM table_name [WHERE condition];
Example: To insert a row into the employee table from a temporary table, the sql insert query would be like,
INSERT INTO employee (id, name, dept, age, salary location) SELECT emp_id, emp_name, dept, age, salary, location
FROM temp_employee;
Update: The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a table.
Syntax:
UPDATE table_name
SET column1=value, column2=value2,...
WHERE some_column=some_value
The WHERE clause specifies which record or records that should be updated. If you omit the WHERE clause, all records will be updated.
Example: To update the location of an employee, the sql update query would be,
UPDATE employee
SET location ='Mysore'
WHERE id = 101;
Delete: The SQL DELETE Query is used to delete the existing records from a table. You can use WHERE clause with DELETE query to delete selected rows, otherwise all the records would be deleted.
Syntax: DELETE FROM table_name [WHERE condition];
Example: To delete an employee with id 100 from the employee table, the sql delete query would be
DELETE FROM employee WHERE id = 100;
To delete all the rows from the employee table, the query would be,
DELETE FROM employee;

CLUSTERED INDEX VS NON CLUSTERED INDEX Clustered Index Only one clustered index can be there in a table because of the sorted order Sort the records and store them physically according to the order Data retrieval is faster than non-clustered indexes Do not need extra space to store logical structure A primary key by default creates a clustered index on it. Non Clustered Index There can be any number of non-clustered indexes in a table because of the number of unique keys we can create. Do not affect the physical order. Create a logical order for data rows and use pointers to physical data files Data insertion/update is faster than clustered index Use extra space to store logical structure A unique key/keys by dafault created an unclustered index on it. In Depth Explanation: Clustered Technically speaking, a clustered index is a B-Tree data structure where all the rows in a table are stored at the leaf level of the index. In other words, a clustered ind...

SQL JOINS Tutorial: INNER, OUTER, LEFT, RIGHT, CROSS What are JOINS? Joins help retrieving data from two or more database tables. The tables are mutually related using primary and foreign keys. id first_name last_name movie_id 1 Adam Smith 1 2 Ravi Kumar 2 3 Susan Davidson 5 4 Jenny Adrianna 8 6 Lee Pong 10 id title category 1 ASSASSIN'S CREED: EMBERS Animations 2 Real Steel(2012) Animations 3 Alvin and the Chipmunks Animations 4 The Adventures of Tin Tin Animations 5 Safe (2012) Action 6 Safe House(2012) Action 7 GIA 18+ 8 Deadline 2009 18+ 9 The Dirty Picture 18+ 10 Marley and me Romance   Types of joins Cross JOIN Cross JOIN is a simplest form of JOINs which matches each row from one database table to all rows of another. In other words it gives us combinations of each row of first table with all records in second table. Suppose we want to get all member records against all the movie records, we can use the script shown below to ge...

COMMON TABLE EXPRESSIONS(cte): It is used best used to extract the hierarchical data  and it is best explained with an example: Problem Many organizations have some type of hierarchy for business processes. When it comes to large organizations, the hierarchy can get very complex and large, so building a hierarchy in a RDBMS is a tedious task. We have to create views, cursors and so on, but using a CTE in SQL Server is a better solution to retrieve hierarchy-based data. Solution Common Table Expressions (CTE) have two types, recursive and non-recursive. We will see how the recursive CTE works with examples. A recursive CTE can be explained in three parts: Anchor Query: This is the first statement which is executed. This query will give the base data for the CTE. Separator: This is the middle part where in we generally use a UNION ALL and few more operators. Recursive Query: This is the main part, this is the CTE query which refers to the same CTE by recursion. ...
