...SQL Fundamentals 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. We'll provide a few examples for illustrative purposes and explain the theory behind them, but don't feel frustrated if you can't write your own SQL commands after reading this article. We'll cover each of the major commands in detail in future weekly installments. If you'd like a reminder in your e-mail inbox each week when the next article is posted, please take a moment and subscribe to our newsletter. By the way, the correct pronunciation of SQL is a contentious issue within the database community. In their SQL standard, the American National Standards Institute declared that the official...

...Pre-Class SQL Exercise Learning Objective: Since data has become one of the most valuable assets a company can have, it's a great addition to your skillset to know a little bit about SQL (pronounced “sequel”). SQL stands for Structure Query Language and is the standard language that is used to access and manipulate data and databases. With SQL you can execute commands known as “queries” that will either retrieve data, insert data, update data, or delete data. You can also do other administrative things that we’re not going to cover today like add/change tables, set permissions, and more. Why would someone use SQL? Anytime you want to store data, updated it, or retrieve it quickly in reports AND the data is too complicated (due to the amount or type) to manage in Excel, a DBMS can be used to maintain this in a database. SQL is the language you use to manage the data in the database. Examples of programs that use SQL would be Microsoft Access, SQL Server also by Microsoft, or MySQL which is a open source DBMS but there are many others) Background on the Structure of a Database and Tables A database most often contains one or more “tables”. Each table is identified by a name (e.g. "Customers" or "Orders"). Tables contain “records” (rows) with data. In this lab we will use a sample company database. Below is a selection from the "Customers" table: CustomerID | CustomerName | ContactName | Address | City | PostalCode | Country | 1 | Alfreds Futterkiste | Maria...

...DD1334 Databasteknik Laboration 1: SQL Basics Andreas Gustafsson, Hedvig Kjellström, Michael Minock and John Folkesson The purpose of Laboration 1 is to learn how to retrieve rmation stored in relational databases. You will learn 1) how to formulate SQL queries and understand how they apply to the schema and how they are executed; 2) how constraints effect insertions and deletions; 3) about the basics of view, transactions, indices and triggers. The recommended reading for Laboration 1 is that of Lectures 1-7 , particularly Chap 6-8. Laboration Come prepared to the review session! Only one try is allowed – if you fail, you are not allowed to try again until the next lab session. The review will take 10 minutes or less, so have all papers in order. To pass you should have Completed Task 1 with at least 9 of the 10 queries right, completed Task 2 and able to explain why certain actions give errors and other do not, also 8 of the 9 steps should be documented showing you executed them correctly, Task 3 the output file should show that the trigger works as it should. The grade is A if passed when the review when due. See the Lab Grading page in bilda contents for the due dates for the labs and the grading of late assignments. Laboration 1 is intended to take 30h to complete. Computing Environment In this assignment you will use Nestor 2.0. Nestor is KTH’s logic engine (computer) dedicated to hold the databases used in this and other similar courses. Nestor is aptly named after...

...DSS 630 Database Management Systems Theory and Practice COURSE EXPECTATION FORM Course Description: The implementation of technology such as bar codes and scanners enable organizations to accumulate large volumes of data. Further, as the technology to collect data gets cheaper and more simplified, business organizations gather and process a huge amount of data and information. Thus, data management has become a key function for many organizations. Managers need high-quality information to manage change in a turbulent, global environment. Business organizations use information systems to store and retrieve data, the raw material in knowledge-based economies. This repository of data is organizational memory. Databases are an important component of the organizational memory. Thus, information systems professionals should develop a comprehensive understanding of data management principles to fully utilize the organizational role of information technology. This course provides core skills of data management for the relational database management systems. This course will review the theoretical concepts and applications of a modern relational database management system. In addition to a basic theoretical presentation of the database design concepts, students will be required to design and develop a database application using a modern fourth generation language system.

In August 2000, version 1.0 of SQLite was released, based on gdbm (GNU Database Manager). SQLite 2.0 replaced gdbm with a custom B-tree implementation...
