What are the difference between DDL, DML and DCL commands? DDL Data Definition Language (DDL) statements are used to define the database structure or schema. Some examples: o CREATE - to create objects in the database o ALTER - alters the structure of the database o DROP - delete objects from the database o TRUNCATE - remove all records from a table, including all spaces allocated for the records are removed o COMMENT - add comments to the data dictionary o RENAME - rename an object DML Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements are used for managing data within schema objects. Some examples: o SELECT - retrieve data from the a database o INSERT - insert data into a table o UPDATE - updates existing data within a table o DELETE - deletes all records from a table, the space for the records remain o MERGE - UPSERT operation (insert or update) o CALL - call a PL/SQL or Java subprogram o EXPLAIN PLAN - explain access path to data o LOCK TABLE - control concurrency DCL Data Control Language (DCL) statements. Some examples: o GRANT - gives user's access privileges to database o REVOKE - withdraw access privileges given with the GRANT command TCL Transaction Control (TCL) statements are used to manage the changes made by DML statements. It allows statements to be grouped together into logical transactions. o COMMIT - save work done o SAVEPOINT - identify a point in a transaction to which you can later roll back o ROLLBACK - restore database to original since the last COMMIT o SET TRANSACTION - Change transaction options like isolation level and what rollback segment to use .

Keys Are, As Their Name Suggests, a Key Part of a Relational Database
The key is defined as the column or attribute of the database table. For example if a table has id, name and address as the column names then each one is known as the key for that table. We can also say that the table has 3 keys as id, name and address. The keys are also used to identify each record in the database table . Primary Key:- • Every database table should have one or more columns designated as the primary key . The value this key holds should be unique for each record in the database. For example, assume we have a table called Employees (SSN- social security No) that contains personnel information for every employee in our firm. We’ need to select an appropriate primary key that would uniquely identify each employee. Primary Key • The primary key must contain unique values, must never be null and uniquely identify each record in the table. • As an example, a student id might be a primary key in a student table, a department code in a table of all departments in an organisation. Unique Key • The UNIQUE constraint uniquely identifies each record in a database table. • Allows Null value. But only one Null value. • A table can have more than one UNIQUE Key Column[s] • A table can have multiple unique keys Differences between Primary Key and Unique Key: • Primary Key 1. A primary key cannot allow null (a primary key cannot be defined on columns that allow nulls). 2. Each table can have only one primary key. • Unique Key 1. A unique key can allow null (a unique key can be defined on columns that allow nulls.) 2.

Data Definition Language
1 Structured Query Language SQL, or Structured Query Language is the most popular declarative language used to work with Relational Databases. Originally developed at IBM, it has been subsequently standard- ized by various standards bodies (ANSI, ISO), and extended by various corporations adding their own features (T-SQL, PL/SQL, etc.). There are two primary parts to SQL: The DDL and DML (& DCL). 2 DDL - Data Definition Language DDL is a standard subset of SQL that is used to define tables (database structure), and other metadata related things. The few basic commands include: CREATE DATABASE, CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE, and ALTER TABLE. There are many other statements, but those are the ones most commonly used. 2.1 CREATE DATABASE Many database servers allow for the presence of many databases1. In order to create a database, a relatively standard command ‘CREATE DATABASE’ is used. The general format of the command is: CREATE DATABASE <database-name> ; The name can be pretty much anything; usually it shouldn’t have spaces (or those spaces have to be properly escaped). Some databases allow hyphens, and/or underscores in the name. The name is usually limited in size (some databases limit the name to 8 characters, others to 32—in other words, it depends on what database you use). 2.2 DROP DATABASE Just like there is a ‘create database’ there is also a ‘drop database’, which simply removes the database. Note that it doesn’t ask you for confirmation, and once you remove a database, it is gone forever2. DROP DATABASE <database-name> ; 2.3 CREATE TABLE Probably the most common DDL statement is ‘CREATE TABLE’.

Introduction to Database
ST. LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL A Jesuit Christian Minority Institution STUDY MATERIAL - 12 Subject: COMPUTER SCIENCE Class - 12 Chapter: DBMS Date: 01/08/2020 INTRODUCTION TO DATABASE What is Database? The database is a collection of inter-related data which is used to retrieve, insert and delete the data efficiently. It is also used to organize the data in the form of a table, schema, views, and reports, etc. For example: The college Database organizes the data about the admin, staff, students and faculty etc. Using the database, you can easily retrieve, insert, and delete the information. Database Management System Database management system is a software which is used to manage the database. For example: MySQL, Oracle, etc. are a very popular commercial database which is used in different applications. DBMS provides an interface to perform various operations like database creation, storing data in it, updating data, creating a table in the database and a lot more. It provides protection and security to the database. In the case of multiple users, it also maintains data consistency. DBMS allows users the following tasks: Data Definition: It is used for creation, modification, and removal of definition that defines the organization of data in the database. Data Updation: It is used for the insertion, modification, and deletion of the actual data in the database. Data Retrieval: It is used to retrieve the data from the database which can be used by applications for various purposes. User Administration: It is used for registering and monitoring users, maintain data integrity, enforcing data security, dealing with concurrency control, monitoring performance and recovering information corrupted by unexpected failure.

Relational Database Fundamentals
05_04652x ch01.qxp 7/10/06 1:45 PM Page 7 Chapter 1 Relational Database Fundamentals In This Chapter ᮣ Organizing information ᮣ Defining database ᮣ Defining DBMS ᮣ Comparing database models ᮣ Defining relational database ᮣ Considering the challenges of database design QL (pronounced ess-que-ell, not see’qwl) is an industry-standard language Sspecifically designed to enable people to create databases, add new data to databases, maintain the data, and retrieve selected parts of the data. Various kinds of databases exist, each adhering to a different conceptual model. SQL was originally developed to operate on data in databases that follow the relational model. Recently, the international SQL standard has incorporated part of the object model, resulting in hybrid structures called object-relational databases. In this chapter, I discuss data storage, devote a section to how the relational model compares with other major models, and provide a look at the important features of relational databases. Before I talk about SQL, however, I need to nail down what I mean by the term database. Its meaning has changed as computers have changed the way people record and maintain information. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Keeping Track of Things Today, people use computers to perform many tasks formerly done with other tools. Computers have replaced typewriters for creating and modifying documents. They’ve surpassed electromechanical calculators as the best way to do math. They’ve also replaced millions of pieces of paper, file folders, and file cabinets as the principal storage medium for important information. Compared to those old tools, of course, computers do much more, much faster — and with greater accuracy.

8 the Relational Data Model
CHAPTER 8 ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ The Relational Data Model One of the most important applications for computers is storing and managing information. The manner in which information is organized can have a profound effect on how easy it is to access and manage. Perhaps the simplest but most versatile way to organize information is to store it in tables. The relational model is centered on this idea: the organization of data into collections of two-dimensional tables called “relations.” We can also think of the relational model as a generalization of the set data model that we discussed in Chapter 7, extending binary relations to relations of arbitrary arity. Originally, the relational data model was developed for databases — that is, Database information stored over a long period of time in a computer system — and for database management systems, the software that allows people to store, access, and modify this information. Databases still provide us with important motivation for understanding the relational data model. They are found today not only in their original, large-scale applications such as airline reservation systems or banking sys- tems, but in desktop computers handling individual activities such as maintaining expense records, homework grades, and many other uses. Other kinds of software besides database systems can make good use of tables of information as well, and the relational data model helps us design these tables and develop the data structures that we need to access them efficiently. For example, such tables are used by compilers to store information about the variables used in the program, keeping track of their data type and of the functions for which they are defined.
