Sams Teach Yourself SQL in 24 Hours

By Ron Plew and Ryan Stephens

Who Should Read This Book?
Welcome to the world of relational databases and SQL! This book is written for those self-motivated individuals out there who would like to get an edge on relational database technology by learning the Structured Query LanguageSQL. This book was written primarily for those with very little or no experience with relational database management systems using SQL. This book also applies to those who have some experience with relational databases but need to learn how to navigate within the database, issue queries against the database, build database structures, manipulate data in the database, and more. This book is not geared toward individuals with significant relational database experience who have been using SQL on a regular basis.

What This Book Intends to Accomplish
This book was written for individuals with little or no experience using SQL or those who have used a relational database, but their tasks have been very limited within the realm of SQL. Keeping this thought in mind, it should be noted up front that this book is strictly a learning mechanism, and one in which we present the material from ground zero and provide examples and exercises with which to begin to apply the material covered. This book is not a complete SQL reference and should not be relied on as a sole reference of SQL. However, this book combined with a complete SQL command reference could serve as a complete solution source to all of your SQL needs.

What We Added to This Edition
This edition contains the same content and format as the first and second editions. We have been through the entire book, searching for the little things that could be improved to produce a better edition. We have also added concepts and commands from the new SQL standard, SQL3, to bring this book up to date, making it more complete and applicable to today's SQL user. The most important addition was the use of MySQL for hands-on exercises. By using an open source database such as MySQL, all readers have equal opportunity for participation in hands-on exercises.

What You Need
You may be wondering, what do I need to make this book work for me? Theoretically, you should be able to pick up this book, study the material for the current hour, study the examples, and either write out the exercises or run them on a relational database server. However, it would be to your benefit to have access to a relational database system to which to apply the material in each lesson. The relational database to which you have access is not a major factor because SQL is the standard language for all relational databases. Some database systems that you can use include Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, MySQL, and dBASE.

Introduction to Structured Query Language

Version 4.11

By James Hoffman

This page is a tutorial of the Structured Query Language (also known as SQL) and is a pioneering effort on the World Wide Web, as this is the first comprehensive SQL tutorial available on the Internet. SQL allows users to access data in relational database management systems, such as Oracle, Sybase, Informix, Microsoft SQL Server, Access, and others, by allowing users to describe the data the user wishes to see. SQL also allows users to define the data in a database, and manipulate that data.

This page will describe how to use SQL, and give examples. The SQL used in this document is "ANSI", or standard SQL, and no SQL features of specific database management systems will be discussed until the "Nonstandard SQL" section. It is recommended that you print this page, so that you can easily refer back to previous examples.

Structured Query Language(SQL)

A Practical Introduction

By Akeel I Din

Introduction
The Structured Query Language, SQL is a query language which is used with relational databases. This chapter starts by describing some of the terms used in data processing and how they relate to SQL. The later part of this chapter describes relational databases and how SQL is used to query them.

"A Collection of Related Data": Databases and Database Management Systems.
Let's start from basics. What is a database? In very general terms, a database is a collection of related data. Notice the word related, this implies that the collection of letters on this page do not by themselves constitute a database. But if we think of them as a collection of letters arranged to form words, then they can be conceptualised as data in a database. Using similar reasoning, we can also say that a tome such as a telephone directory is also a database. It is a database first, because it is a collection of letters that form words and second, because it is an alphabetical listing of people's names, their addresses and their telephone numbers. How we think of a database depends on what use we want to make of the information that it contains.

SQL Fundamentals

By Mike Chapple

Introduction
The Structured Query Language (SQL) comprises one of the fundamental building blocks of modern database architecture. SQL defines the methods used to create and manipulate relational databases on all major platforms. At first glance, the language may seem intimidating and complex but it's really not all that bad. In a series of articles over the next few weeks we'll explore the inner workings of SQL together. By the time we're through, you'll have the fundamental knowledge you need to go out there and start working with databases!

This week, our first article in the SQL series provides an introduction to the basic concepts behind SQL and we'll take a brief look at some of the main commands used to create and modify databases. Throughout this article, please keep our goal in mind: we're trying to get the "big picture" of SQL -- not a mastery of the individual commands.......

SQL for Web Nerds

by Philip Greenspun

After writing a preface lampooning academic eggheads who waste a lot of ink placing the relational database management system (RDBMS) in the context of 50 years of database management software, how does this book start? With a chapter placing the RDBMS in the context of other database management software.

Why? You ought to know why you're paying the huge performance, financial, and administration cost of an RDBMS. This chapter doesn't dwell on mainframe systems that people stopped using in the 1970s, but it does cover the alternative approaches to data management taken by Web sites that you've certainly visited and perhaps built.

The architect of any new information system must decide how much responsibility for data management the new custom software should take and how much should be left to packaged software and the operating system. This chapter explains what kind of packaged data management software is available, covering files, flat file database management systems, the RDBMS, object-relational database management systems, and object databases. This chapter also introduces the SQL language.

SQL - Structured Query Language

By Welland Barn

The objective of this chapter is to introduce the main concepts of data storage and retrieval in the context of database information systems.

In view of their prominence this booklet concentrates on the general characteristics of Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) and the Structured Query Language SQL and does not consider any of the numerous other types of databases. No prior knowledge of SQL is assumed.

It is intended that the SQL presented in this booklet be followed interactively and that the you should try all the given examples in the order in which they are presented. At the end of the booklet you should have attained a thorough knowledge of SQL and its capabilities as an interactive statement language.

In the main the SQL covered complies with the standard definition for SQL were proprietary SQL features are referred to this will be made clear. On this basis the skills obtained from this unit should be transferable across a wide range of RDBMS's which support SQL.

To enable you to make effective use of your local facilities a number of RDBMS specific appendices containing access instructions and other supplementary information specific to your environment have been included.

SQL Tutorial By SQLCourse2.com

Welcome to SQLCourse2.com! This unique SQL Tutorial is the "sequel" to the highly successful SQLCourse.com site and will provide you with more advanced easy-to-follow SQL Instruction and the ability to practice what you learn on-line with immediate feedback! You will receive immediate results on a web page after submitting your SQL Commands.

This continuation course will provide you with critical need-to-know advanced features and clauses of the SELECT statement that weren't supported in the previous SQLCourse.com site. Everything you learn here will be ANSI SQL compliant and should work with most SQL databases such as Oracle, SQL Server, mySQL, MS Access, Informix, Sybase, or any other ANSI SQL compliant database.

If you're already familar with the basics of SQL, you can still use this as a refresher, and practice some SQL statements.

Overview

This Intermediate/Advanced SQL Tutorial will cover the SELECT statement in great detail. The SELECT statement is the core of SQL, and it is likely that the vast majority of your SQL commands will be SELECT statements. Due to the enormous amount of options available for the SELECT statement, this entire tutorial has been dedicated to it.

When constructing SQL Queries (with the SELECT statement), it is very useful to know all of the possible options and the best or more efficient way to do things. This Tutorial will help provide you with those skills.

Although it is recommended that you go through SQLCourse.com (the original site) or at least the SELECT statement on SQLCourse.com, it isn't required. YOu can start with this site, and then proceed to SQLCourse.com when you are finished. SQLCourse.com covers four other SQL Commands and allows you to practice those as well.

Gradiance SQL Tutorial

Gradiance.com

Our approach to teaching SQL is to use a combination of coding exercises (writing queries) and quizzes, to emphasize the "learning by programming" paradigm, along with providing a set of slide sets covering the relevant material. The programming exercises are on-line and feature immediate constructive feedback about the correctness of the submitted queries. Test cases, comments and hints are provided to illustrate the errors and help you debug the queries on-line.

The Gradiance SQL tutorial covers the following core topics:

• Basics - the SELECT-FROM-WHERE framework for SQL queries
• Null Values and Aggregation - dealing with NULL values in SQL tables; aggregating column values
• Grouping and Ordering - GROUP BY and ORDER BY clauses
• Join queries - multi-table queries involving join operations
• Aggregation and NULL values in join queries - grouping and aggregation across multiple tables; NULL values and outer-join operations
• Subqueries - notion of queries embedded in other queries; IN, NOT IN, ANY, ALL and EXISTS operations

The estimated duration for the tutorial is from 30 to 60 hours, spread over a total of 150 slides, 30 problems to solve (in the quizzes) and 50 programming exercises to work on (in the lab projects). The material is organized into six lesson packages, with associated quizzes and lab projects, so that each item can be handled in a short session...........

Teach Yourself SQL in 21 Days, Second Edition

Authors: : Ryan K. Stephens, Ronald R. Plew, Bryan Morgan, and Jeff Perkins

© Copyright, Macmillan Computer Publishing.

Overview
The first 14 days of this book show you how to use SQL to incorporate the power of modern relational databases into your code. By the end of Week 1, you will be able to use basic SQL commands to retrieve selected data.

NOTE: If you are familiar with the basics and history of SQL, we suggest you skim the first week's chapters and begin in earnest with Day 8, "Manipulating Data."

At the end of Week 2, you will be able to use the more advanced features of SQL, such as stored procedures and triggers, to make your programs more powerful. Week 3 teaches you how to streamline SQL code; use the data dictionary; use SQL to generate more SQL code; work with PL/SQL, Transact-SQL, and SQL*Plus; and handle common SQL mistakes and errors.

The syntax of SQL is explained and then brought to life in examples using Personal Oracle7, Microsoft Query, and other database tools. You don't need access to any of these products to use this book--it can stand alone as an SQL syntax reference. However, using one of these platforms and walking though the examples will help you understand the nuances.

Interactive SQL tutorial

sqlzoo.net

What is Sql?

SQL stands for "Structured Query Language". This language allows us to pose complex questions of a database. It also provides a means of creating databases. SQL very widely used. Many database products support SQL, this means that if learn how to use SQL you can apply this knowledge to MS Access or SQL Server or to Oracle or Ingres and countless other databases.

SQL works with relational databases. A relational database stores data in tables (relations). A database is a collection of tables. A table consists a list of records - each record in a table has the same structure, each has a fixed number of "fields" of a given type.......
