AIM: Creation, altering and droping of tables and inserting rows into a table (use constraints while

creating tables) examples using SELECT command.


Discription: The aim of this task is to design and develop a simple Entity with attirbute set. We in this use
" SQL"language.

Create: used to create the definition of databases, entitites, and views.


Syntax:
create view <view_name> as select <attribute1>,<attribute2>...... from <table_name> where <conditions>;

Alter: This is a DDL command used to alter or update the definition of an entity. using this
command has multiple purposes. they are as follows:
Syntax:
alter table <table_name> add <attribute_name> datatype;
alter table <table_name> drop column <attibute_name>;
alter table <table_name> rename column <attribute_name_old> to <attribute_name_new>;
alter table <table_name> modify <column_name> <datatype>; ------after version 10g of software.
alter table <old_table_name> rename to <new_table_name>;

Rename: As suggested above this can be used to rename entity. but, it can also rename views and DBs.
Syntax:
rename <old_table_name> to <new_table_name>;

Drop: This command is used to remove entity or views from the DB.
Syntax:
drop table <table_name>;

Insert: This command is used to insert the data onto the entity. This has the following syntax.
Syntax:
insert into <table_name> (attribute_1,attribute_2,.....,attribuite_n) values (value11,value12,......value_1n),
(value21,value22,......value_2n);

Select: To display the content of the entity


Syntax:
select * from <table_name>;
