In Chapter 3, we discussed SQL in depth. We discussed two basic categories of SQL statements: data definition language (DDL) statements, which are used for creating tables, relationships, and other structures, and data manipulation language (DML) statements, which are used for querying and modifying data. In this appendix, which should be studied immediately after Chapter 3, we: • Describe and illustrate SQL views, which extend the DML capabilities of SQL. • Describe and illustrate SQL Persistent Stored Modules (SQL/PSM), and create user-defined functions. • Describe and use DBMS data import techniques to import Microsoft Excel worksheet data into a database. E-3 Database Concepts SQL Views, SQL/PSM and Importing Data Appendix E Creating SQL Views An SQL view is a virtual table that is constructed from other tables or views.

  • Using the Set Operators Questions
    UUSSIINNGG TTHHEE SSEETT OOPPEERRAATTOORRSS QQUUEESSTTIIOONNSS http://www.tutorialspoint.com/sql_certificate/using_the_set_operators_questions.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com 1.Which SET operator does the following figure indicate? A. UNION B. UNION ALL C. INTERSECT D. MINUS Answer: A. Set operators are used to combine the results of two ormore SELECT statements.Valid set operators in Oracle 11g are UNION, UNION ALL, INTERSECT, and MINUS. When used with two SELECT statements, the UNION set operator returns the results of both queries.However,if there are any duplicates, they are removed, and the duplicated record is listed only once.To include duplicates in the results,use the UNION ALL set operator.INTERSECT lists only records that are returned by both queries; the MINUS set operator removes the second query's results from the output if they are also found in the first query's results. INTERSECT and MINUS set operations produce unduplicated results. 2.Which SET operator does the following figure indicate? A. UNION B. UNION ALL C. INTERSECT D. MINUS Answer: B. UNION ALL Returns the combined rows from two queries without sorting or removing duplicates. sql_certificate 3.Which SET operator does the following figure indicate? A. UNION B. UNION ALL C.

A. UNION B. UNION ALL C. INTERSECT D. MINUS Answer: D. MINUS Returns only the rows in the first result set that do not appear in the second result set, sorting them and removing duplicates.

  • SQL/PSM Stored Procedures Basic PSM Form Parameters In
    Stored Procedures PSM, or “persistent, stored modules,” SQL/PSM allows us to store procedures as database schema elements. PSM = a mixture of conventional Procedures Stored in the Database statements (if, while, etc.) and SQL. General-Purpose Programming Lets us do things we cannot do in SQL alone. 1 2 Basic PSM Form Parameters in PSM CREATE PROCEDURE <name> ( Unlike the usual name-type pairs in <parameter list> ) languages like C, PSM uses mode- <optional local declarations> name-type triples, where the mode can be: <body>; IN = procedure uses value, does not Function alternative: change value. CREATE FUNCTION <name> ( OUT = procedure changes, does not use. <parameter list> ) RETURNS <type> INOUT = both. 3 4 1 Example: Stored Procedure The Procedure Let’s write a procedure that takes two CREATE PROCEDURE JoeMenu ( arguments b and p, and adds a tuple IN b CHAR(20), Parameters are both to Sells(bar, beer, price) that has bar = IN p REAL read-only, not changed ’Joe’’s Bar’, beer = b, and price = p. ) Used by Joe to add to his menu more easily. INSERT INTO Sells The body --- VALUES(’Joe’’s Bar’, b, p); a single insertion 5 6 Invoking Procedures Types of PSM statements --- (1) Use SQL/PSM statement CALL, with the RETURN <expression> sets the return name of the desired procedure and value of a function. arguments. Unlike C, etc., RETURN does not terminate Example: function execution. CALL JoeMenu(’Moosedrool’, 5.00); DECLARE <name> <type> used to declare local variables. Functions used in SQL expressions wherever a value of their return type is appropriate.

  • SQL Subqueries and Set Operations
    The Islamic University of Gaza Faculty of Engineering Dept. of Computer Engineering Database Lab (ECOM 4113) Lab 3 SQL Subqueries and Set Operations Eng. Ibraheem Lubbad Nested Queries (subqueries): A subquery is a SELECT statement that is embedded in the clause of another SELECT statement. You can build a powerful statements out of simple ones by using subqueries. You can write subqueries in the WHERE clause of another SQL statement to obtain values based on an unknown conditional value Subquery Syntax: SELECT SELECT_LIST FROM TABLE WHERE EXPR OPERATOR (SELECT SELECT_LIST FROM TABLE ); The subquery (inner query) executes before the main query (outer query). The result of the subquery is used by main query Example: Find all students who are study in departments Computer Science AND their total credit is greater than ALL students in Elec. Eng. First solution: retrieve targeted students with two steps; firstly, retrieve total credit of all students in Elec. Eng. (without duplication), then, use the retrieve values in another query. The first query First Query SELECT TOT_CRED FROM STUDENT WHERE DEPT_NAME='Elec. Eng.’; Second Query SELECT * FROM STUDENT WHERE DEPT_NAME='Comp. Sci.' AND TOT_CRED > ALL(60,80) The previous solution is not wrong. However, it is not a practical solution since you apply it with many steps and each step needs a human to do them (cannot applied by machine since the retrieve values are dynamic and can be changed in any time. A better solution is to embedded the first query in the second query in “All’s condition parentheses”, which is called: sub query Another Way Query SELECT * FROM STUDENT OUTER QUERY WHERE DEPT_NAME='Comp.

    Main Page 1 Main Page FLOSSMETRICS/ OpenTTT guides FLOSS (Free/Libre open source software) is one of the most important trends in IT since the advent of the PC and commodity software, but despite the potential impact on European firms, its adoption is still hampered by limited knowledge, especially among SMEs that could potentially benefit the most from it. This guide (developed in the context of the FLOSSMETRICS and OpenTTT projects) present a set of guidelines and suggestions for the adoption of open source software within SMEs, using a ladder model that will guide companies from the initial selection and adoption of FLOSS within the IT infrastructure up to the creation of suitable business models based on open source software. The guide is split into an introduction to FLOSS and a catalog of open source applications, selected to fulfill the requests that were gathered in the interviews and audit in the OpenTTT project. The application areas are infrastructural software (ranging from network and system management to security), ERP and CRM applications, groupware, document management, content management systems (CMS), VoIP, graphics/CAD/GIS systems, desktop applications, engineering and manufacturing, vertical business applications and eLearning. This is the third edition of the guide; the guide is distributed under a CC-attribution-sharealike 3.0 license. The author is Carlo Daffara ([email protected]).
