Types of commands and statement elements Basic SELECT statements Module Overview

Commands and Statement Elements

Statements for querying and modifying data SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE Statements for object definitions CREATE, ALTER, DROP Statements for security permissions GRANT, REVOKE, DENY Data Manipulation Language (DML*) Data Definition Language (DDL) Data Control Language (DCL) * DML with SELECT is the primary focus of this course Categories of T-SQL statements

Predicates and Operators Control of Flow Functions Expressions Variables Comments Batch Separators T-SQL language elements

T-SQL language elements: predicates and operators Elements: Predicates and Operators: Predicates IN, BETWEEN, LIKE Comparison Operators =, >, =,, !=, !>, !< Logical Operators AND, OR, NOT Arithmetic Operators +, -, *, /, % Concatenation + T-SQL enforces operator precedence

SUBSTRING LEFT, RIGHT LEN DATALENGTH REPLACE REPLICATE UPPER, LOWER RTRIM, LTRIM GETDATE SYSTDATETIME GETUTCDATE DATEADD DATEDIFF YEAR MONTH DAY SUM MIN MAX AVG COUNT String Functions Date and Time Functions Aggregate Functions T-SQL language elements: functions

T-SQL language elements: variables Local variables in T-SQL temporarily store a value of a specific data type Name begins with sign reserved for system functions Assigned a data type Must be declared and used within the same batch In SQL Server 2008 and later, can declare and initialize in the same statement int = 30;

T-SQL language elements: expressions Combination of identifiers, values, and operators evaluated to obtain a single result Can be used in SELECT statements SELECT clause WHERE clause Can be single constant, single-valued function, or variable Can be combined if expressions have same the data type SELECT YEAR(OrderDate) SELECT OrderQty * UnitPrice...

T-SQL language elements: batch separators Batches are sets of commands sent to SQL Server as a unit Batches determine variable scope, name resolution To separate statements into batches, use a separator: SQL Server tools use the GO keyword GO is not a SQL Server T-SQL command

T-SQL language elements: control of flow, errors, and transactions Allow you to control the flow of execution within code, handle errors, and maintain transactions Used in programmatic code objects Stored procedures, triggers, statement blocks TRY...CATCH IF...ELSE WHILE BREAK CONTINUE BEGIN...END BEGIN TRANSACTION COMMIT TRANSACTION ROLLBACK TRANSACTION Control of FlowError Handling Transaction Control

T-SQL language elements: comments Marks T-SQL code as a comment: For a block, enclose it between /* and */ characters For inline text, precede the comments with -- T-SQL Editors such as SSMS will typically color-code comments, as shown above /* This is a block of commented code */ /* This is a block of commented code */ --This line of text will be ignored

Logical query processing The order in which a query is written is not the order in which it is evaluated by SQL Server. 5: SELECT 1: FROM 2: WHERE 3: GROUP BY 4: HAVING 6: ORDER BY

USE AdventureWorks2012; SELECT SalesPersonID, YEAR(OrderDate) AS OrderYear FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader WHERE CustomerID = GROUP BY SalesPersonID, YEAR(OrderDate) HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 ORDER BY SalesPersonID, OrderYear; USE AdventureWorks2012; SELECT SalesPersonID, YEAR(OrderDate) AS OrderYear FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader WHERE CustomerID = GROUP BY SalesPersonID, YEAR(OrderDate) HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 ORDER BY SalesPersonID, OrderYear; Applying the logical order of operations to writing SELECT statements USE AdventureWorks2012; SELECT SalesPersonID, YEAR(OrderDate) AS OrderYear FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader WHERE CustomerID = GROUP BY SalesPersonID, YEAR(OrderDate) HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 ORDER BY SalesPersonID, OrderYear; USE AdventureWorks2012; SELECT SalesPersonID, YEAR(OrderDate) AS OrderYear FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader WHERE CustomerID = GROUP BY SalesPersonID, YEAR(OrderDate) HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 ORDER BY SalesPersonID, OrderYear;

Basic SELECT Statements

Elements of the SELECT statement

Retrieving columns from a table or view Use SELECT with column list to display columns Use FROM to specify a source table or view Specify both schema and table names Delimit names if necessary End all statements with a semicolon SELECT CustomerID, StoreID FROM Sales.Customer; SELECT CustomerID, StoreID FROM Sales.Customer;

Using calculations in the SELECT clause Calculations are scalar, returning one value per row Using scalar expressions in the SELECT clause SELECT unitprice, OrderQty, (unitprice * OrderQty) FROM sales.salesorderdetail; SELECT unitprice, OrderQty, (unitprice * OrderQty) FROM sales.salesorderdetail;

Writing basic SELECT statements Demo

Summary Three types of command used to manage SQL server objects and security include; DDL, DML, and DCL T-SQL language elements include; Predicates and operators – BETWEEN, LIKE, NOT, >=, * Functions – string, date and time, aggregate Variables – local has system has two Expressions – identifiers, values, and operators Batch separators – GO used to separate statements Control-of-flow – IF…ELSE, WHILE, CONTINUE Comments - /* to start */ to end; can also use --

Summary Predicate logic is a property or expression that is either true or false. Also referred to as a Boolean expression Elements of a SELECT statement and the order they are evaluated : 1. FROM 2. WHERE 3. GROUP BY 4. HAVING 5. SELECT 6. ORDER BY
