Difference between SQL and MySQL.
SQL is a Structured Query Language. It is useful to manage relational databases.
MySQL is an RDBMS to store, retrieve, modify and administrate a database using
SQL.
What is Query?
A query is a question, often expressed in a formal way. A database query can be
either a select query or an action query. A select query is a data retrieval query,
while an action query asks for additional operations on the data, such as insertion,
updating or deletion.
Let Us understand what is query.
Examples for queries.
From the given STUDENT table write a Query to get the
all students details whose grade is greater than 70.
Database Management System SQL Rooman Technologies
Query:
SELECT * FROM STUDENT WHERE THE GRADE > 70;
OUTPUT:
NOTE: Query which we have written had fetched all the student details whose
grade is greater than 70% from STUDENT table and given a separate table as
shown (output) above.
Unlike SELECT command there are many different types of command available in
SQL.
Different Commands used in SQL queries.
Here is the list of different SQL commands:
SQL
Commands

These commands are classified into different categories of sql languages.
Let us know the Different Languages and
its commands used in SQL.
There are 5 different languages in sql, they are:
1. DDL (DATA Definition Language)
2. DML (DATA Manipulation Language)
3. DCL (DATA control Language)
4. TCL (Transaction Control Language)
5. DQL (DATA Query Language)
Note: SQL statements are categorised into different languages and all the sql
commands are categorised into these different languages as shown below.
What is the usage of these SQL languages
and SQL Commands?

Usage of SQL Languages and its Commands.
DDL (DATA Definition Language)
DDL(Data Definition Language) : DDL or Data Definition Language actually
consists of the SQL commands that can be used to define the database
schema. It simply deals with descriptions of the database and is used to create
and modify the structure of database objects in the database.
DDL commands:
CREATE – is used to create the database or its objects (like table, index,
function, views, store procedure and triggers).
DROP – is used to delete objects from the database.
ALTER-is used to alter the structure of the database.
TRUNCATE–is used to remove all records from a table, including all spaces
allocated for the records are removed.
DQL (DATA QUERY LANGUAGE):
DQL statements are used for performing queries on the data within database
table
DQL Commands:
SELECT – is used to retrieve data from the database.

DML (Data Manipulation Language):
DML (Data Manipulation Language): The SQL commands that deals with the
manipulation of data present in the database belong to DML or Data
Manipulation Language and this includes most of the SQL statements.
DML Commands:
INSERT – is used to insert data into a table.
UPDATE – is used to update existing data within a table.
DELETE – is used to delete records from a database table.
DCL (Data Control Language):
DCL (Data Control Language): DCL includes commands such as GRANT and
REVOKE which mainly deal with the rights, permissions and other controls of
the database system.
DCL commands:
GRANT - gives user’s access privileges to the database.
REVOKE - withdraw user’s access privileges given by using the GRANT
command.

TCL (transaction Control Language):
TCL (transaction Control Language): TCL commands deal with the transaction
within the database.
TCL commands:
COMMIT – commits a Transaction.
ROLLBACK – rollbacks a transaction in case of any error occurs.
SAVEPOINT –sets a save point within a transaction.
How to establish a
Connection with MYSQL
server.
Before establishing the connection first install the MYSQL in your system.
MySQL command:
Invokes the MYSQL
sever
-U: Specifies USER
NAME
-P: Specifies Password.

How to find the database
present within MYSQL
server.
Show database command:
Used to retrieve all the
database present inside
MYSQL server.
These are the 6 default
database present inside
MYSQL server
How to use a particular
database present within
MYSQL server.
To make use of SAKILA
database present inside
MYSQL server, make use
of USE command
followed with database
name.
USE command: use
command is used to
make use of any
database present inside
the MYSQL server

How to know which
database is currently in
Use.
Select database () Command
is used to know which is the
database id currently in use.
How to get to know
which are the tables present
inside particular database?
Select tables () Command is
used to know which are the
tables present inside the
database.
Database Management System SQL Rooman Technologies
How to fetch all the data
present inside particular table?
Select * FROM TABLE_NAME
Note: Using the above SQL query we can fetch all the data present inside the
database.
Hey!! I understood about establishing a database connection,
How to find the database present within MYSQL server, How to
know which database is currently is in use, How to get to know
which are the tables present inside particular database, How to
fetch all the data present inside particular table.
But!! How to create new
database and add data
into it??
Database Management System SQL Rooman Technologies
Let’s understand how to create database
and how to add data into it.
Creating University database.
CREATE DATABASE is the
command used to create new
database.
Syntax:
CREATE database_name
Making University Database as current database.
USE University is the command
used to make university
database as the current
database.
Syntax: USE database_name
Finding the data present inside University Database.
SHOW TABLES
command is used to find
the data present inside
current database.
Note: We have created university database but no data has been added to it,
so it is displaying as EMPTY SET. Whenever data is not added into the
database then it displays EMPTY SET.
Database Management System SQL Rooman Technologies
Deleting the university database.
Drop DATABASE UNIVERSITY is
the command used to delete a
database from the server.
Syntax:
Drop DATABASE database_name
Note: Once the database is deleted/dropped from the server, then it cannot be
used. If we try to use the database which is not present inside the database
server then it will generate Error message.

add data inside table.?
