TABLE OPERATIONS
RELATED:
1.INSERTION RELATED:
i) insert into table_name values (val1,val2),
(val1,val2)...(v1,v2);
- for inserting values in all columns.
eg: insert into blood values
(1,"harish","AB+","8883100000","mahal"),
(2,"sri","B+","8883111111","mahal");
ii) insert into table_name (col_name) values (val),
(val)...(v);
- for inserting values in particular columns.
eg: insert into blood (id,name) values (1,"aravind"),
(2,"hari");
2. update table_name set col_name1=value where
col_name2=value;
- for updating values in table.
eg: update blood set name="swetha" where id=2;
3.SELECTION RELATED:
i) select * from table_name;
- for selecting all columns.
eg: select * from blood;
ii). select colname1,colname2 from table_name;
-for selecting particular columns from a table.
eg: select name,bg from blood;
iii). select colname1 from table_name where
col_name2=val;
- for selecting particular data.
eg: select name from blood where bg="AB+";
4.delete from table_name where colname=val;
- for deleting a particular row
eg: delete from blood where name="harish";
//harish row get deleted
NOTE: if where condition is ignored, all rows get deleted.
And it is equivalent to truncate table blood;
(i.e)truncate table table_name;
AGGREGATE FUNCTIONS:
1.max(col_name):
-for displaying largest value in a column based on
Numbers.
-for displaying largest value in a column based on
Alphabets.
2.min(col_name):
-for displaying smallest value in a column based on
Numbers.
-for displaying smallest value in a column based on
Alphabets.
3.sum(col_name):
-for adding values in a column
4.avg(col_name):
-for calculating average of numbers in a column.
5.count(col_name):
-for counting number of values in a column.
orderby:
Used to arrange values of a column in either ascending
or descending.
eg: select * from blood orderby name asc;
-name column values are arranged in ascending order,
which
