SQL : Query Language CS3431

SELECT-FROM-WHERE  (sName=“Greg” AND address=“320 FL”) (Student) FROM Student WHERE sName=“Greg” AND address=“320 FL” Student sNumber sName address professor 1 Dave 311FL MM 2 Greg 320FL 3 Matt ER sNumber sName address professor 2 Greg 320FL MM  (sName=“Greg” AND address=“320 FL”) (Student) CS3431

Select-From Query SELECT sNumber, sName FROM Student address professor 1 Dave 320FL MM 2 Greg 3 Matt ER sNumber sName 1 Dave 2 Greg 3 Matt  (sNumber, sName) (Student) CS3431

Extended Projection SELECT sNumber || sName AS info FROM Student WHERE address=“320 FL” Student info 1Dave 2Greg 3Matt sNumber sName address professor 1 Dave 320FL MM 2 Greg 3 Matt ER  (sNumber||sNameinfo) ( (address=“320 FL”) (Student)) CS3431

SQL and Relational Algebra  L ( C (R)) becomes SELECT L FROM R WHERE C CS3431

Tuple Variables + Renaming SELECT S1.sNumber AS num FROM Student S1 WHERE S1.sNumber >= 1; Student num 1 2 3 sNumber sName address professor 1 Dave 320FL MM 2 Greg 3 Matt ER  (S1.sNumbernum) ( (S1.sNumber >= 1) ( S1 (Student))) CS3431

String Operators Comparison Operators based on lexicographic ordering: =, <, >, <>, >=, <= Concatenation operator: || Pattern match: s LIKE p p denotes a pattern % : any sequence of 0 or more characters - : matches 1 character Use two consecutive quotes (‘) to represent ‘ CS3431

String Matching Example SELECT s1.sNumber AS num FROM Student S1 WHERE s1.sName LIKE ‘Star_ _ _ _’ or S1.professor LIKE ‘Mad Cow’’s%’ ; CS3431

Set Operations in SQL (SELECT sName FROM Student) EXCEPT Operators : UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT (SELECT sName FROM Student) EXCEPT (SELECT sName FROM Student WHERE address=‘320 FL’) For set semantics, use UNION, INTERSECT, EXCEPT. For bag semantics, use UNION ALL, INTERSECT ALL, EXCEPT ALL CS3431

EXCEPT - Example (SELECT sName FROM Student) EXCEPT WHERE address=‘320 FL’) Reminder : Set semantics ! Student sNumber sName address professor 1 Dave 320FL MM 2 Greg 3 Matt ER 4 300FL sName CS3431

Joins + SQL Multiple relations in FROM clause : SELECT * FROM Student, Professor CS3431

Cross (Cartesian) Product SELECT * FROM Student, Professor Student X Professor SELECT * FROM Student CROSS JOIN Professor; CS3431

Cross Product - Example Student Professor sNumber sName address professor 1 Dave 320FL 2 Greg 3 Matt pNumber pName address 1 MM 141FL 2 ER 201FL sNumber sName address professor pNumber pName 1 Dave 320FL MM 141FL 2 ER 201FL Greg 3 Matt CS3431

Theta Join SELECT * FROM Student, Professor WHERE professor=pNumber; Student ⋈(professor=pNumber) Professor SELECT * FROM Student JOIN Professor ON professor=pNumber; CS3431

Theta Join Example Student Professor sNumber sName address professor 1 Dave 320FL 2 Greg 3 Matt pNumber pName address 1 MM 141FL 2 ER 201FL sNumber sName address professor pNumber pName 1 Dave 320FL MM 141FL 2 Greg 3 Matt ER 201FL Student ⋈(professor=pNumber) Professor CS3431

Natural Join SELECT * FROM Student , Professor Reminder: Join columns must have same names in both relations SELECT * FROM Student , Professor WHERE Student.pnumber = Professor.pnumber ; Student ⋈ Professor SELECT * FROM Student NATURAL JOIN Professor CS3431

Natural Join - Example Student Professor Student ⋈ Professor sNumber sName address pNumber 1 Dave 320FL 2 Greg 3 Matt pNumber pName address 1 MM 141FL 2 ER 201FL sNumber sName address pNumber pName 1 Dave 320FL MM 141FL 2 Greg 3 Matt ER 201FL Student ⋈ Professor CS3431

Outer Joins SELECT * FROM Student NATURAL FULL OUTER JOIN Professor Student ⋈o Professor SELECT * FROM Student NATURAL LEFT OUTER JOIN Professor Student ⋈oL Professor SELECT * FROM Student NATURAL RIGHT OUTER JOIN Professor Student ⋈oR Professor CS3431

Outer Joins - Example Student Professor Student ⋈o Professor sNumber sName address pNumber 1 Dave 320FL 2 Greg 3 Matt 4 Ben pNumber pName address 1 MM 141FL 2 ER 201FL 3 MW 168FL sNumber sName address pNumber pName 1 Dave 320FL MM 141FL 2 Greg 3 Matt ER 201FL 4 Ben Null MW 168FL CS3431 Student ⋈o Professor

Putting it together: Joins+more SELECT sName FROM Student, Professor WHERE pName=‘MM’ AND pNumber=professor; (sName)(Student ⋈(pName=‘MM’ and pNumber=professor) Professor) CS3431

Joins - example SELECT sName FROM Student, Professor WHERE pName=‘MM’ sNumber sName address professor 1 Dave 320FL 2 Greg 3 Matt pNumber pName address 1 MM 141FL 2 ER 201FL SELECT sName FROM Student, Professor WHERE pName=‘MM’ AND pNumber=professor; sName Dave Greg CS3431
