18.1 Introduction
Here you learn commands that let you create tables , add data in table,modify/change data in tables, delete
tuples from tables etc..
18.2 Database in , MYSQL
The first step in setting up a MySQL database is to create the actual database object, which serves as a container for the
tables in that database.
18.2.1 Creating database
CREATE DATABASE RISfbd;
Or
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS RISfbd;
18.2.2 To check the names of existing databases
SHOW DATABASES;
18.2.3 Opening Databases
USE RISfbd;
18.2.4 Removing Databasaes
DROP DATABASE RISfbd;
18.3 Creating Tables
CREATE TABLE RISfbd
(Addno integer primary key notNULL,
Stuname char(20),
Sex char(1));
SQL Constraints
Constraints are the rules enforced on data columns on a table. These are used to limit the type of data that can go into
a table. Constraints can either be column level or table level.
Following are some of the most commonly used constraints available in SQL −
NOT NULL Constraint − Ensures that a column cannot have a NULL value.
DEFAULT Constraint − Provides a default value for a column when none is specified.
UNIQUE Constraint − Ensures that all the values in a column are different.
PRIMARY Key − Uniquely identifies each row/record in a database table.

FOREIGN Key − Uniquely identifies a row/record in any another database table.
CHECK Constraint − The CHECK constraint ensures that all values in a column satisfy certain conditions.
INDEX − Used to create and retrieve data from the database very quickly.
Viewing a Table Structure
DESC RISfbd;
18.4 Changing Data with DML Commands
1. Inserting Data into table
INSERT INTO RISfbd VALUES(1001,’AKSHIT’,’M’);
2. Modifying Data
UPDATE RISfbd
SET stuname=”Vivaan”
WHERE addno=3090;
3. Deleting Data
DELETE FROM RISfbd
WHERE stuname=”[Link]”;
18.5 More DDL Commands
1. Add new column
ALTER TABLE RISfbd
ADD (Mob_Number integer);
2. Removing Table
DROP TABLE RISfbd;
Assignment
1.
