DESCRIBE dept
CREATE TABLE dept
(deptno NUMBER(2),
dname VARCHAR2(14),
loc VARCHAR2(13),
create_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE);
73

employee_id NUMBER(6),
first_name VARCHAR2(20),
...
job_id VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT emp_emp_id_pk
PRIMARY KEY (EMPLOYEE_ID));

ALTER TABLE Statement
• Use the ALTER TABLE statement to:
– Add a new column
– Modify an existing column definition
– Define a default value for the new column
– Drop a column
– Rename a column
– Change table to read-only status

Dropping a Table
– Moves a table to the recycle bin
– Invalidates dependent objects and removes
object privileges on the table
DROP TABLE dept80;

INSERT Statement Syntax
– Add new rows to a table by using the INSERT
statement:
– With this syntax, only one row is inserted at a
time.
INSERT INTO table [(column [, column...])]
VALUES (value [, value...]);

Inserting New Rows
– Insert a new row containing values for each
column.
– List values in the default order of the columns
in the table.
– Optionally, list the columns in the INSERT
clause.
– Enclose character and date values within single
quotation marks.
INSERT INTO departments(department_id,
department_name, manager_id, location_id)
VALUES (70, 'Public Relations', 100, 1700);

Copying Rows
from Another Table
– Write your INSERT statement with a subquery:
– Do not use the VALUES clause.
– Match the number of columns in the INSERT
clause to those in the subquery.
– Inserts all the rows returned by the subquery
in the table, sales_reps.
INSERT INTO sales_reps(id, name, salary, commission_pct)
SELECT employee_id, last_name, salary, commission_pct
FROM employees
WHERE job_id LIKE '%REP%';

UPDATE Statement Syntax
– Modify existing values in a table with the
UPDATE statement:
– Update more than one row at a time (if
required).
UPDATE table
SET column = value [, column = value, ...]
[WHERE condition];

Updating Rows in a Table
– Values for a specific row or rows are modified
if you specify the WHERE clause:
– Values for all the rows in the table are
modified if you omit the WHERE clause:
– Specify SET column_name= NULL to update a
column value to NULL.
UPDATE employees
SET department_id = 50
WHERE employee_id = 113;
UPDATE copy_emp
SET department_id = 110;

UPDATE employees
SET job_id = (SELECT job_id
FROM employees
WHERE employee_id = 205),
salary = (SELECT salary
FROM employees
WHERE employee_id = 205)
Updating Two Columns with a
Subquery
• Update employee 113’s job and salary to
match those of employee 205.

DELETE Statement
• You can remove existing rows from a
table by using the DELETE statement:
DELETE [FROM] table
[WHERE condition];

Deleting Rows from a Table
– Specific rows are deleted if you specify the
WHERE clause:
– All rows in the table are deleted if you omit the
WHERE clause:
DELETE FROM departments
WHERE department_name = ‘Finance';
DELETE FROM copy_emp;

Basic SELECT Statement
– SELECT identifies the columns to be displayed.
– FROM identifies the table containing those
columns.
SELECT *|{[DISTINCT] column|expression [alias],...}
FROM table;
6

Writing SQL Statements
– SQL statements are not case-sensitive.
– SQL statements can be entered on one or more
lines.
– In SQL Developer, SQL statements can
optionally be terminated by a semicolon (;).
Semicolons are required when you execute
multiple SQL statements.
– In SQL*Plus, you are required to end each SQL
statement with a semicolon (;).
7

Arithmetic Expressions
• Create expressions with number and date
data by using arithmetic operators.
Multiply*
Divide/
Subtract-
Add+
DescriptionOperator
8

SELECT last_name, salary, 12*salary+100
FROM employees;
Operator Precedence
SELECT last_name, salary, 12*(salary+100)
FROM employees;
…
…

9

Using Column Aliases
SELECT last_name "Name" , salary*12 "Annual Salary"
FROM employees;
SELECT last_name AS name, commission_pct comm
FROM employees;
…
…
10

Using Literal Character Strings
…
SELECT last_name ||' is a '||job_id
AS "Employee Details"
FROM employees;
11

Duplicate Rows
• The default display of queries is all rows,
including duplicate rows.
SELECT department_id
FROM employees;
SELECT DISTINCT department_id
FROM employees;

12

Displaying the Table Structure
– Use the DESCRIBE command to display the
structure of a table.
– Or, select the table in the Connections tree
and use the Columns tab to view the table
structure.
DESC tablename
13

Using the DESCRIBE Command
DESCRIBE employees
14

Limiting the Rows that Are
Selected
– Restrict the rows that are returned by using
the WHERE clause:
– The WHERE clause follows the FROM clause.
SELECT *|{[DISTINCT] column|expression [alias],...}
FROM table
[WHERE condition(s)];
15

SELECT employee_id, last_name, job_id, department_id
FROM employees
WHERE department_id = 90 ;
Using the WHERE Clause
16

Comparison Operators
Not equal to<>
Between two values (inclusive)BETWEEN
...AND...
Match any of a list of valuesIN(set)
Match a character patternLIKE
Is a null valueIS NULL
Less than<
Less than or equal to<=
Greater than or equal to>=
Greater than>
Equal to=
MeaningOperator
17

SELECT last_name, salary
FROM employees
WHERE salary <= 3000 ;
Using Comparison Operators
18

FROM employees
WHERE salary BETWEEN 2500 AND 3500 ;
Range Conditions Using the
BETWEEN Operator
• Use the BETWEEN operator to display rows
based on a range of values:
Lower limit Upper limit
19

Combining Wildcard Characters
– You can combine the two wildcard characters
(%, _) with literal characters for pattern
matching:
– You can use the ESCAPE identifier to search for
the actual % and _ symbols.
SELECT last_name
FROM employees
WHERE last_name LIKE '_o%' ;
20

Defining Conditions Using the
Logical Operators
Returns TRUE if the condition is falseNOT
Returns TRUE if either component
condition is true
OR
Returns TRUE if both component
conditions are true
AND
MeaningOperator
21

SELECT employee_id, last_name, job_id, salary
FROM employees
WHERE salary >= 10000
AND job_id LIKE '%MAN%' ;
Using the AND Operator
• AND requires both the component
conditions to be true:
22

Using the ORDER BY Clause
– Sort retrieved rows with the ORDER BY clause:
• ASC: Ascending order, default
• DESC: Descending order
– The ORDER BY clause comes last in the SELECT
statement:SELECT last_name, job_id, department_id, hire_date
FROM employees
ORDER BY hire_date ;
…
23

Sorting
– Sorting in descending order:
– Sorting by column alias:
SELECT last_name, job_id, department_id, hire_date
FROM employees
ORDER BY hire_date DESC ;

31

SELECT last_name, salary, MOD(salary, 5000)
FROM employees
WHERE job_id = 'SA_REP';
Using the MOD Function
• For all employees with the job title of
Sales Representative, calculate the
remainder of the salary after it is divided
by 5,000.
32

SELECT last_name, hire_date
FROM employees
WHERE hire_date < '01-FEB-88';
Working with Dates
– The Oracle database stores dates in an internal
numeric format: century, year, month, day,
hours, minutes, and seconds.
– The default date display format is DD-MON-RR.
• Enables you to store 21st-century dates in the 20th
century
by specifying only the last two digits of the year
• Enables you to store 20th-century dates in the
21st century in the same way
33

Using the SYSDATE Function
• SYSDATE is a function that returns:
– Date
– Time
SELECT sysdate
FROM dual;
34

SELECT last_name, (SYSDATE-hire_date)/7 AS WEEKS
FROM employees
WHERE department_id = 90;
Using Arithmetic Operators

What Are Group Functions?
• Group functions operate on sets of rows
to give one result per group.
EMPLOYEES
Maximum salary in
EMPLOYEES table
…
38

Types of Group Functions
– AVG
– COUNT
– MAX
– MIN
– SUM
Group
functions
39

SELECT group_function(column), ...
FROM table
[WHERE condition]
[ORDER BY column];
Group Functions: Syntax
40

SELECT AVG(salary), MAX(salary),
MIN(salary), SUM(salary)
FROM employees
WHERE job_id LIKE '%REP%';
Using the AVG and SUM Functions
• You can use AVG and SUM for numeric
data.
41

SELECT department_id, AVG(salary)
FROM employees
GROUP BY department_id ;
Using the GROUP BY Clause
• All columns in the SELECT list that are not
in group functions must be in the GROUP
BY clause.
42

Illegal Queries
Using Group Functions
– You cannot use the WHERE clause to restrict
groups.
– You use the HAVING clause to restrict groups.
– You cannot use group functions in the WHERE
clause.
SELECT department_id, AVG(salary)
FROM employees
WHERE AVG(salary) > 8000
GROUP BY department_id;
Cannot use the
WHERE clause to
restrict groups
43

SELECT column, group_function
FROM table
[WHERE condition]
[GROUP BY group_by_expression]
[HAVING group_condition]
[ORDER BY column];
Restricting Group Results
with the HAVING Clause
• When you use the HAVING clause, the
Oracle server restricts groups as follows:
1. Rows are grouped.
2. The group function is applied.
3. Groups matching the HAVING clause are
displayed.
44

SELECT department_id, MAX(salary)
FROM employees
GROUP BY department_id
HAVING MAX(salary)>10000 ;
Using the HAVING Clause

Generating a Cartesian Product
Cartesian product:
20 x 8 = 160 rows
EMPLOYEES (20 rows) DEPARTMENTS (8 rows)
…
…
53

SELECT last_name, department_name
FROM employees
CROSS JOIN departments ;
Creating Cross Joins
– The CROSS JOIN clause produces the cross-
product of two tables.
– This is also called a Cartesian product between
the two tables.
…
54

Subquery Syntax
– The subquery (inner query) executes before
the main query (outer query).
– The result of the subquery is used by the main
query.
SELECT select_list
FROM table
WHERE expr operator
(SELECT select_list
FROM table);
55

FROM employees
WHERE salary >
(SELECT salary
FROM employees
WHERE last_name = 'Abel');
Using a Subquery
11000
56

SELECT department_id, MIN(salary)
FROM employees
GROUP BY department_id
HAVING MIN(salary) >
(SELECT MIN(salary)
FROM employees
WHERE department_id = 50);
The HAVING Clause with
Subqueries
– The Oracle server executes the subqueries
first.
– The Oracle server returns results into the
HAVING clause of the main query.
2500
… 57

SELECT emp.last_name
FROM employees emp
WHERE emp.employee_id NOT IN
(SELECT mgr.manager_id
FROM employees mgr);

MINUS
59

TRUNCATE Statement
– Removes all rows from a table, leaving the
table empty and the table structure intact
– Is a data definition language (DDL) statement
rather than a DML statement; cannot easily be
undone
– Syntax:
– Example:
TRUNCATE TABLE table_name;
TRUNCATE TABLE copy_emp;
69

Database Transactions: Start
and End
– Begin when the first DML SQL statement is
executed.
– End with one of the following events:
• A COMMIT or ROLLBACK statement is issued.
• A DDL or DCL statement executes (automatic
commit).
• The user exits SQL Developer or SQL*Plus.
• The system crashes.
70

COMMIT;
Committing Data
– Make the changes:
– Commit the changes:
DELETE FROM employees
INSERT INTO departments
VALUES (290, 'Corporate Tax', NULL, 1700);
71

DELETE FROM copy_emp;
ROLLBACK ;
State of the Data After ROLLBACK
• Discard all pending changes by using the
ROLLBACK statement:
– Data changes are undone.
– Previous state of the data is restored.
– Locks on the affected rows are released.
