The document discusses SQL SELECT statements and how to query data from tables in a database. It provides the syntax for basic SELECT statements and examples of queries using clauses like WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING, ORDER BY, aggregate functions, and more. Examples demonstrate retrieving data based on conditions, joining tables, finding minimums, maximums, averages, and more. The conclusion states that SELECT queries with grouping, ordering, and aggregate functions were implemented in MySQL.

Database Management System

Experiment No-5

Topic: College Management System

Aim: Perform Simple queries, string manipulation operations.

The most commonly used SQL command is SELECT statement. SQL SELECT statement is
used to query or retrieve data from a table in the database. A query may retrieve information
from specified columns or from all of the columns in the table. To create a simple SQL
SELECT Statement, you must specify the column(s) name and the table name. The whole
query is called SQL SELECT Statement.

Syntax-

SELECT [DISTINCT|ALL ] { * | [fieldExpression [AS newName]} FROM tableName


[alias] [WHERE condition][GROUP BY fieldName(s)] [HAVING condition] ORDER BY
fieldName(s)

 SELECT is the SQL keyword that lets the database know that you want to retrieve
data.
 [DISTINCT | ALL] are optional keywords that can be used to fine tune the results
returned from the SQL SELECT statement. If nothing is specified then ALL is
assumed as the default.
 {*| [fieldExpression [AS newName]} at least one part must be specified, "*" selected
all the fields from the specified table name, fieldExpression performs some
computations on the specified fields such as adding numbers or putting together two
string fields into one.
 FROM tableName is mandatory and must contain at least one table, multiple tables
must be separated using commas or joined using the JOIN keyword.
 WHERE condition is optional, it can be used to specify criteria in the result set
returned from the query.
 GROUP BY is used to put together records that have the same field values.
 HAVING condition is used to specify criteria when working using the GROUP BY
keyword.
 ORDER BY is used to specify the sort order of the result set.

Queries:

1. Select all column from a table


Select * from tablename;
2. Select specific column of list from a table
Select col1,col2 from tablename;
3. Select ….where clause with various operators (<,>,<=,> =,IN,NOT
IN,BETWEEN..AND,NOT BETWEEN… AND)
Select col1 from tablename where col2>value1;
Select * from tablename where col2 in(value1,value2,value3)
Select * from tablename where col2 between value1 and value2
Select * from tablename where col2 NOT between value1 and value2

4. Select ….where clause with multiple conditions


Select * from tablename where col2=Value1 and/or col3=value2

5. Select ….where clause with string matching


 Starts with any character
 ends with any character
 have a specific substring
 character at specific position
 starts with a specific character and having specifically n no of characters
 starts and ends with different character

6. Query your database by applying aggregate function


MIN,MAX,COUNT,AVG,SUM (create alias also)
7. Query your database by applying group by clause using one column and multiple
column
8. Query your database by applying order by clause using one column and multiple
column
9. Query your database by applying group by, order by and having clause
simultaneously
10. Select clause with various date functions

CURDATE(),CURRENT_TIME(),CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(),DATE(),DATEDIFF(),DAY
(),DAYNAME(),EXTRACT(),MINUTE(),MONTH(),WEEK(),NOW(),YEAR()

11. Perform set operation on multiple select queries(UNION)


Examples:

1) Retrieve all attributes of the College table

mysql> select * from College;

2) Retrieve cross product of college and staff

mysql> select * from college , staff;


3) Retrieving all attributes of staff who works in SPIT college

mysql> select * from staff where college_name = 'SPIT';

4) Retrieving
Staff_name
from staff table
whose salary is
greater
than 30000

mysql> select
staff_name
-> from staff
-> where salary
> 30000;
5) Retrieving staff_no and staff_name from staff and college table whose
salary is > 30000 and college_name is = college_name

mysql> select staff_no , staff_name


-> from staff as s , college as c
-> where s.salary > 30000 and s.college_name = c.college_name;

6) Retrieving
all the salary from
the staff table

mysql> select salary


from staff;
7) Retrieving
all staff name
whose name
contains
letter s

mysql> select
staff_name
-> from staff
-> where staff_name like'%s%';

8) Retrieving all the college name whose address starts with v

mysql> select college_name


-> from college
-> where address like 'V%';

9) Retrieving staff_name as staff from staff table where college is vjti

mysql> select staff_name as staff


-> from staff
-> where college_name = 'VJTI';
10) Retrieve all staff whose salary is between 40000 and 80000

mysql> select * from staff


-> where salary between 40000 and 80000;

11) Retrieve staff details order by staff no

mysql> select *
-> from staff
-> order by staff_no asc;
12) Retrieve max salary offered to the staff

mysql> select max(salary)


-> from staff;

13) Retrieve Minimum salary offered to the staff

mysql> select min(salary)


-> from staff;
14) Retrieve college wise average salary of the staff

mysql> select college_name , avg(salary)


-> from staff
-> group by college_name;

15) Retrieve total number of staff members

mysql> select count(*)


-> from staff;
16) Retrieve total number of salaries given to the staff

mysql> select college_name , sum(salary)


-> from staff
-> group by college_name;

Conclusion: Select queries with various clauses like group by, order by and
aggregate functions is implemented in mysql.
