Using MySQL to Manage Databases

What is MySQL?
• MySQL is currently the most popular database management
system software used for managing the relational database.
• Free and open-source software written in C and C++
• It is fast, scalable, and easy to use database management system
in comparison with Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle Database.
• It is commonly used in conjunction with PHP scripts for creating
powerful and dynamic server-side or web-based enterprise
applications.
Why do we learn MySQL?
• It’s the most common database in the web
(client-server model)
• Uses by: Facebook, Google,Twitter,
• Is super simple (comparing to Oracle,
PostgreSQL)
Things to know about MySQL
• First version was out on 1995
• It is actually owned by Oracle, since 2010
• When it happened, one of the founders quit and
forked Maria-DB which is
still free under “Open Source”
The MySQL Meta-Data
Information Schema
 MySQL server has a default database called
“information_schema”
 TABLES table contains information about each table in
the database. e.g, name, type,number of rows etc.
 COLUMNS table contains information about each
column, such as the table it's belong to, the data type, etc.
 USER_PRIVILEGES table contains information
about the users listed in the database (do not confuse with
web-users accessing the website.
The MySQL Meta-Data

MySQL Data Types

 Each column has a predefined type
and possibly a default value
★Integers:TINYINT, MEDIUMINT, BIGINT
★Strings:VARCHAR (strings), BLOB (for binaries)
★Dates:TIMESTAMP, DATE, DATETIME
Set when the database schema is created
What is SQL?
• SQL is the standard language for dealing with
Relational Databases. SQL can be used to insert,
search, update, and delete database records. SQL
can do lots of other operations, including optimizing
and maintenance of databases.
Types of SQL Statements
• Data Definition Language (DDL)
• Data Manipulation Language (DML)
• Data Control Language (DCL)
• Transaction Control Language (TCL)
• Data Query Language (DQL)
Types of SQL Statements
SQL Commands
• CREATE – defines the database structure schema
• INSERT – inserts data into the row of a table
• UPDATE – updates data in a database
• DELETE – removes one or more rows from a table
• SELECT – selects the attribute based on the condition
described by the WHERE clause
• DROP – removes tables and databases
• ALTER TABLE - modifies a table.
The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
1. SELECT — extracts data from a database

SELECT column_name
FROM table_name;

SELECT statements fetch data from a database.

The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
Example: Selecting particular rows
SELECT EmployeeID, EmployeeName
FROM Employee_Info;

--(*) is used to select all from the table

SELECT * FROM Employee_Info;

-- To select the number of records to return use:

SELECT TOP 3 * FROM Employee_Info;
The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
Example:
-- To create a backup of database 'Employee'
SELECT * INTO EmployeeBackup
FROM Employee;

--To select only few columns from Employee

SELECT EmployeeName, PhoneNumber INTO EmployeeContactDetails
FROM Employee;

SELECT * INTO BlrEmployee

FROM Employee
WHERE City = ‘Quezon';
The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
2. UPDATE — updates data in a database

UPDATE table_name
SET some_column = some_value
WHERE some_column = some_value;

UPDATE statements allow us to edit rows in a table.

The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
Example:
mysql> UPDATE tblPerson
-> SET Birthdate = '30-07-2001'
-> WHERE id = 1;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
3. DELETE — deletes data from a database

DELETE FROM table_name

WHERE some_column = some_value;

DELETE statements remove rows from a table.

The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
Example:

DELETE FROM Employee_Info

WHERE EmployeeName=‘Macky';
 The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
4. INSERT INTO — inserts new data into a database

INSERT INTO table_name (column_1, column_2, column_3)

VALUES (value_1, ‘value_2’, value_3);

INSERT statements add a new row to a table.

The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
Example:
INSERT INTO tblEmployeeInfo
VALUES
('07', ‘Magic’,’Johnson', ‘9932323', ‘LA Cal',
‘California', ‘USA');
 The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
5. CREATE DATABASE — creates a new database

CREATE DATABASE databasename;

CREATE DATABASE statements create a new SQL database.

The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
Example:
mysql> CREATE TABLE tblPerson
-> (
-> id int auto_increment not null primary key,
-> Firstname varchar(20),
-> Lastname varchar(20),
-> Age int(3)
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.09 sec)
 The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
6. ALTER TABLE — modifies a table

ALTER TABLE table_name

ADD column_name datatype;

ALTER TABLE statements add, delete, or modify columns in an

existing table.
The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
Example #1:
Adding a Column to the Table
mysql> ALTER TABLE tblPerson
-> ADD COLUMN Birthdate varchar(20);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.06 sec)
Records: 1 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0

mysql> SELECT * FROM tblPerson;

+----+-----------+----------+------+-----------+
| id | Firstname | Lastname | Age | Birthdate |
+----+-----------+----------+------+-----------+
| 1 | Jay | Abaleta | 40 | NULL |
+----+-----------+----------+------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
 The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
7. DROP
• This statement is used to drop an existing table or a database.

DROP TABLE — deletes a table

DROP TABLE table_name;

DROP TABLE statements drop an existing table in a database.

 The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax

The ‘DROP DATABASE’ Statement

• This statement is used to drop an existing database.
The ‘DROP TABLE’ Statement
• This statement is used to drop an existing table.
The MySQL SQL Commands Syntax
Example #1: The ‘DROP DATABASE’
Statement
DROP DATABASE Employee;

Example #2: The ‘DROP TABLE’

Statement
DROP Table Employee_Info;
 Database: tbldept
Dbemployee
Dbstudent tblempprof
dbUser

Database Composed of the following:

1. Table
2. Fieldname
3. Records
