1. SQL
pepper

2. Why SQL File I/O is a great deal of code
Optimal file organization and indexing is critical and a great deal of code and theory implementation
File locking
Security concerns
Much more

3. Different SQL Servers
Mysql (open source – no cost to use though may cost to embed and resell outside gpl)
Ms sql (microsoft )
Oracle
Sybase
Access
Older AS/400 – SQL machine

4. Structure SQL Server runs a service
accepts sql commands using their version of the standard query language
Allows access to the data inside the SQL server
Organized into databases
Tables (like spreadsheets) inside databases
Gui management interface
Access / mysql workbench / mssql studio mgr

5. Your databases Connect with : mysql -u yourdbuser -p yourdatabase
The –p means the password will be entered later. You can also put the password right after the p as in pmypassword. No spaces and no quotes
Your database name is your db user and is usually your ecampus logon name
You should also be able to connect to pepperdb
See your tables
show tables
See information inside your table
select * from tablename

6. Create a table CREATE TABLE table_name (column_name column_type );
Plus insert PRIMARY KEY ( tutorial_id ) at end
Ex:
create table tutorials_tbl(
tutorial_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
tutorial_title VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
tutorial_type VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
submission_date DATE,
PRIMARY KEY ( tutorial_id ) );

7. Create a table simpler
CREATE TABLE table_name (column_name column_type );
Plus insert PRIMARY KEY ( tutorial_id ) at end
Ex:
create table tutorials_tbl(
tutorial_id INT ,
tutorial_title VARCHAR(100) ,
tutorial_type VARCHAR(40) );
Credit to :

8. Create a related table Create table tutorials_types (
type VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,
type_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
type_manager int not null,
PRIMARY KEY ( type) );
Table picture from wikipedia

9. Insert a row
INSERT INTO table_name ( field1, field2,...fieldN ) VALUES ( value1, value2,...valueN );
Examples:
INSERT INTO tutorials_tbl (tutorial_title, tutorial_type, submission_date) VALUES ("Learn PHP", "php",NOW());
INSERT INTO tutorials_tbl (tutorial_title, tutorial_type, submission_date) VALUES ("Learn MySQL", "db",NOW());
INSERT INTO tutorials_tbl (tutorial_title, tutorial_type, submission_date) VALUES ("Learn Oracle", "db",NOW());
Credit:

10. Insert rows into another table
INSERT INTO tutorials_types values ("php", "php tutorials",10);
INSERT INTO tutorials_types values ("db", "database tutorials",20);

11. Query your tables select * from tutorials_tbl;
select * from tutorials_types;
select * from tutorials_types
inner join tutorials_tbl on
tutorials_tbl.tutorial_type =
tutorials_types.type;

12. Select statement Select – keyword indicating just looking
List all columns (* for all; table.column)
From – keyword indicating table names follow
Table name
Join type + next table + on + matching fields
Where – keyword indicating row selection
Column = something

13. Switch to another database
Show databases
Use <database name>
