Introduction To Transact-SQL

This document provides an overview of Transact-SQL including: - The Transact-SQL programming language implements ANSI SQL-92 and contains unique functionality. - There are three types of T-SQL statements: data definition language statements to define database objects, data control language statements to set permissions, and data manipulation language statements to change or retrieve data. - T-SQL syntax elements include comments, identifiers, data types, variables, functions, operators, expressions, and control flow elements. Reserved keywords have special meaning in T-SQL.

Module 1: Introduction to Transact-SQL

Overview

The Transact-SQL Programming Language Types of Transact-SQL Statements Transact-SQL Syntax Elements

The Transact-SQL Programming Language

Implements Entry-Level ANSI SQL-92 ISO Standard Can Be Run on Any Entry-Level Compliant Product Contains Additional Unique Functionality

Types of Transact-SQL Statements

Data Definition Language Statements Data Control Language Statements Data Manipulation Language Statements

Data Definition Language Statements


Define the Database Objects

CREATE object_name
ALTER object_name DROP object_name

Must Have the Appropriate Permissions

USE northwind CREATE TABLE customer (cust_id int, company varchar(40), contact varchar(30), phone char(12) ) GO

Data Control Language Statements

Set or Change Permissions


GRANT DENY REVOKE

Must Have the Appropriate Permissions

USE northwind GRANT SELECT ON products TO public GO

Data Manipulation Language Statements

USE DML Statements to Change Data or Retrieve Information SELECT INSERT UPDATE DELETE Must Have the Appropriate Permissions

USE northwind SELECT categoryid, productname, productid, unitprice FROM products GO

Transact-SQL Syntax Elements

Batch Directives Comments Identifiers Types of Data Variables

System Functions Operators Expressions Control-of-Flow Language Elements Reserved Keywords

Batch Directives

GO

Delineates batches of Transact-SQL statements to tools and utilities

Is not an actual Transact-SQL statement


Executes a user-defined function, system procedure, user-defined stored procedure, or an extended stored procedure Controls the execution of a character string within a Transact-SQL batch

EXEC

Comments

In-line Comments

Example 1

SELECT productname , (unitsinstock - unitsonorder) -- Calculates inventory , supplierID FROM products GO

Block Comments

Example 3

/* This code retrieves all rows of the products table and displays the unit price, the unit price increased by 10 percent, and the name of the product. */ USE northwind SELECT unitprice, (unitprice * 1.1), productname FROM products GO

Identifiers

Standard Identifiers

First character must be alphabetic Other characters can include letters, numerals, or symbols

Identifiers starting with symbols have special uses Delimited Identifiers Use when names contain embedded spaces Use when reserved words are portions of names Enclose in brackets ([ ]) or quotation marks (" ")

Naming Guidelines for Identifiers

Keep Names Short


Use Meaningful Names Where Possible Use Clear and Simple Naming Conventions Use an Identifier That Distinguishes Types of Object

Views Stored procedures Sales table and sales role

Keep Object Names and User Names Unique

Types of Data

Numbers Dates Characters Binary Unique Identifiers (GUID)

SQL Variants Image and Text Table Cursor User-defined

Variables

User-defined with DECLARE @ Statement

Assigned Values with SET or SELECT @ Statement


Variables Have Local Scope

USE northwind DECLARE @EmpID varchar(11) ,@vlName char(20) SET @vlname = 'Dodsworth' SELECT @EmpID = employeeid FROM employees WHERE LastName = @vlname SELECT @EmpID AS EmployeeID GO

System Functions

Aggregate Functions

USE northwind SELECT AVG (unitprice) AS AvgPrice FROM products GO

Scalar Functions

USE northwind SELECT DB_NAME() AS 'database GO

Rowset Functions

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY (OracleSvr, 'SELECT name, id FROM owner.titles')

System Function Examples


Example 1
SELECT 'ANSI:', CONVERT(varchar(30), GETDATE(), 102) AS Style UNION SELECT 'Japanese:', CONVERT(varchar(30), GETDATE(), 111) UNION SELECT 'European:', CONVERT(varchar(30), GETDATE(), 113) GO

Result Style
ANSI:
Japanese: European:

1998.03.19
1998/03/19 19 Mar 1998 16:34:40:616

Operators

Types of Operators

Arithmetic Comparison String concatenation Logical

Operator Precedence Levels

Expressions

Combination of Symbols and Operators Evaluation to Single Scalar Value Result Data Type Dependent on the Elements Within the Expression

USE SELECT

northwind OrderID, ProductID ,(UnitPrice * Quantity) as ExtendedAmount FROM [Order Details] WHERE (UnitPrice * Quantity) > 10000 GO

Control-of-Flow Language Elements


Example 2 DECLARE @n tinyint SET @n = 5 IF (@n BETWEEN 4 and 6) BEGIN WHILE (@n > 0) BEGIN SELECT @n AS 'Number' ,CASE WHEN (@n % 2) = 1 THEN 'EVEN' ELSE 'ODD' END AS 'Type' SET @n = @n - 1 END END ELSE PRINT 'NO ANALYSIS GO

Statement Level

BEGIN END block IF ELSE block WHILE constructs

Row Level

CASE function
