COMMANDS OF DML(DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE) RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION SQL commands are instructions used to communicate with the database to perform specific task that work with data. SQL commands can be used not only for searching the database but also to perform various other functions for example, you can create tables, add data to tables, or modify data, drop the table, set permissions for users.
DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE A DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE ( DML ) is a set of syntax that contains SQL commands that are used for storing, retrieving, modifying, and deleting data . These commands are: SELECT INSERT UPDATE DELETE.
SELECT COMMAND USE Select command is used to view records from the table. To view all columns and all rows * can be specified with select statement. If user needs to view only certain fields or columns, then by specifying the names of those certain fields, columns user can acquire its output. SYNTAX SELECT * from table_name . SELECT < Column_name > from table_name .
TABLE T QUERY RESULT C1 C2 SELECT * FROM T; C1 C2 1 a 1 a 2 b 2 b C1 C2 SELECT C1 FROM T; C1 1 a 1 2 b 2 C1 C2 SELECT * FROM T WHERE C1 =1; C1 C2 1 a 1 a 2 b EXAMPLE
DELETE COMMAND USE Delete command is used to delete records in the table. In SQL, Delete is used to delete rows in the table. It is possible to delete all rows in a table without deleting the table. This means that table structure, attributes and indexes will be intact. NOTE Be very careful when deleting records, you cannot undo this statement.
SYNTAX DELETE * from table_name [WHERE CONDITION] (if where condition is not used all rows in the table are removed) EXAMPLE DELETE from customer WHERE CustomerName=‘Anil Khade’ AND ContactName=‘Vikrant Kedare’
