Statement and Syntax Data Definition Statements CREATE DATABASE CREATE TABLE CREATE INDEX CREATE VIEW DROP DATABASE DROP TABLE DROP INDEX DROP VIEW ALTER TABLE RENAME TABLE

CREATE DATABASE CREATE DATABASE creates a database with the given name. Syntax CREATE {DATABASE | SCHEMA} [IF NOT EXISTS] db_name Example CREATE schema test1; CREATE database test1;

CREATE TABLE creates a table with the given name. You must have the CREATE privilege for the table. Syntax CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] tbl_name (create_definition,...) [table_options] Example CREATE TABLE `test`.`students` ( `id` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , `name` VARCHAR( 30 ) NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY ( `id` ) ) ENGINE = InnoDB

CREATE INDEX creates a index with the given name. Syntax CREATE INDEX index_name ON tbl_name (index_col_name,...) Example create index tt on students(name)

CREATE VIEW The CREATE VIEW statement creates a new view, or replaces an existing one if the OR REPLACE clause is given. Syntax CREATE [OR REPLACE] VIEW view_name [(column_list)] AS select_statement Example CREATE VIEW test.v AS SELECT * FROM t;

DROP DATABASE DROP DATABASE drops all tables in the database and deletes the database. Be very careful with this statement! Syntax DROP {DATABASE | SCHEMA} [IF EXISTS] db_name Example Drop database test;

DROP index indexname DROP INDEX drops the index named index_name from the table DROP INDEX index_name ON tbl_name DROP TABLE removes one or more tables. DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS] tbl_name [, tbl_name] ...

RENAME TABLE RENAME TABLE current_db.tbl_name TO other_db.tbl_name; ALTER TABLE You can rename a column using a CHANGE old_col_name new_col_name column_definition clause. ALTER TABLE t1 CHANGE a b INTEGER; ALTER TABLE `t` ENGINE = MYISAM

INSERT UPDATE DELETE SELECT TRUNCATE Data Manipulation Statements

Syntax INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...) INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...) VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...) Example INSERT INTO Persons VALUES (4,'Nilsen', 'Johan', 'Bakken 2', 'Stavanger') The INSERT INTO statement is used to insert a new row in a table. INSERT

The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a table. UPDATE UPDATE table_name SET column1=value, column2=value2,... WHERE some_column=some_value Example UPDATE Persons SET Address='Nissestien 67', City='Sandnes' WHERE LastName='Tjessem' AND FirstName='Jakob' Syntax

The DELETE statement is used to delete rows in a table. DELETE Syntax DELETE FROM table_name WHERE some_column=some_value Example DELETE FROM Persons WHERE LastName='Tjessem' AND FirstName='Jakob'

The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database. The result is stored in a result table, called the result-set. SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name [WHERE where_condition] SELECT Syntax SELECT LastName,FirstName FROM Persons Example

Delete the records inside the table. TRUNCATE TRUNCATE TABLE table_name Syntax TRUNCATE TABLE Persons Example

Utility Statements DESCRIBE EXPLAIN HELP USE

DESCRIBE provides information about the columns in a table. The EXPLAIN statement can be used either as a synonym for DESCRIBE Syntax {DESCRIBE | DESC} tbl_name [col_name] Example Describe test; DESCRIBE

Example HELP ‘select' The HELP statement returns online information from the MySQL Reference manual. HELP ' search_string ' USE db_name The USE db_name statement tells MySQL to use the db_name database as the default (current) database for subsequent statements. The database remains the default until the end of the session or another USE statement is issued: HELP Syntax

Create a database on the mysql. create database [databasename]; List all databases on the mysql. show databases; Switch to a database. use [db name]; To see all the tables in the db. show tables; To see database's field formats. describe [table name];

To delete a db. drop database [database name]; To delete a table. drop table [table name]; Show all data in a table. SELECT * FROM [table name]; Returns the columns and column information pertaining to the designated table. show columns from [table name];

Show certain selected rows with the value "whatever". SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE [field name] = "whatever"; Show all records containing the name "Bob" AND the phone number '3444444'. SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name = "Bob" AND phone_number = '3444444'; Show all records starting with the letters 'bob' AND the phone number '3444444'. SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name like "Bob%" AND phone_number = '3444444'; Show all records starting with the letters 'bob' AND the phone number '3444444' limit to records 1 through 5. SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name like "Bob%" AND phone_number = '3444444' limit 1,5;

Show all records not containing the name "Bob" AND the phone number '3444444' order by the phone_number field. SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name != "Bob" AND phone_number = '3444444' order by phone_number; Show unique records. SELECT DISTINCT [column name] FROM [table name]; Show selected records sorted in an ascending (asc) or descending (desc). SELECT [col1],[col2] FROM [table name] ORDER BY [col2] DESC; Return number of rows. SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [table name];

Change a users password from MySQL prompt. Login as root. Set the password. Update privs. SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'hostname'= PASSWORD('passwordhere'); Joining Tables With our tables now separated by entity, we join the tables together in our SELECT queries and other statements to retrieve and manipulate related data. When joining tables, there are a variety of JOIN syntaxes available. Typically developers use the INNER JOIN and OUTER JOIN syntaxes.

INNER JOIN Author Table Author_ID First_Name Last_name 1 Chad Russell 2 Jon Stephens 3 Mike Hillyer Book_Author ISBN Author_ID 1590593324 1 1590593324 2

An INNER JOIN query returns one row for each pair or matching rows in the tables being joined. Take our Author and Book_Author tables as an example: SELECT First_Name, Last_Name, ISBN FROM Author INNER JOIN Book_Author ON Author.Author_ID = Book_Author.Author_ID; First_Name Last_Name ISBN Chad Russell 1590593324 Jon Stephens 1590593324

OUTER JOIN The third author in the Author table is missing because there are no corresponding rows in the Book_Author table. When we need at least one row in the result set for every row in a given table, regardless of matching rows, we use an OUTER JOIN query. There are three variations of the OUTER JOIN syntax: LEFT OUTER JOIN, RIGHT OUTER JOIN.. The syntax used determines which table will be fully represented. A LEFT OUTER JOIN returns one row for each row in the table specified on the left side of the LEFT OUTER JOIN clause. The opposite is true for the RIGHT OUTER JOIN clause.

In each case, a row of NULL values is substituted when a matching row is not present. The following is an example of a LEFT OUTER JOIN: SELECT First_Name, Last_Name, ISBNFROM Author LEFT OUTER JOIN Book_Author ON Author.Author_ID = Book_Author.Author_ID; First_Name Last_Name ISBN Chad Russell 1590593324 Jon Stephens 1590593324 Mike Hillyer NULL The third author is returned in this example, with a NULL value for the ISBN column, indicating that there are no matching rows in the Book_Author table.
