DML COMMANDS
Title:
Demonstrate the data manipulation commands in SQL with the following table.
Table Name: Student
Column name Datatype Size
Sno Number 3
Sname Char 20
Course Char 10
Adate Date
Procedure:
Step-1:
Create the student table using create command with the above requirements.
SQL> create table student (sno number (3),
sname varchar (20),
course varchar (10),
adate date);
Table created.
Step-2:
To display the structure of student with “desc” command as follows:
SQL> desc student;
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
SNO NUMBER (3)
SNAME VARCHAR2(20)
COURSE VARCHAR2(10)
ADATE DATE
Step-3: Insert Command:
Using Insert command, we can add record or records into a table. It has three methods of
syntax as follows:
3.1: 1st method of syntax:
Insert into < table _name> (column name1, column name2,……. Column name n) values
(value1, valuie2…….value n);
Example:
SQL> insert into student (sno, sname, course, adate) values(10,’SURESH’,’BCA’,’30-JUL-24’);
1 row created.
SQL> select * from student;
SNO SNAME COURSE ADATE
---------- -------------------- ---------- ---------
10 SURESH BCA 30-JUL-24
3.2: 2nd method of syntax:
Insert into <table_name> Values (Value1, Value 2………. Value n);
Example:
SQL> insert into student values(20,'RAMESH','BSC','2-jan-24');
1 row created.
SQL> select * from student;
SNO SNAME COURSE ADATE
---------- ------------------- ---------- ---------
10 SURESH BCA 30-JUL-24
20 RAMESH BSC 02-JAN-24
3.3: 3rd method of syntax:
Insert into <table_name> values(&sno,’&sname’,’&course’,’&adate’);
Example:
SQL> insert into student values(&sno,'&sname','&course','&adate');Enter value for sno: 30
Enter value for sname: SWETHA
Enter value for course: BBA
Enter value for adate: 3-MAR-24
1 row created.
SQL> select * from student;
SNO SNAME COURSE ADATE
---------- -------------------- ---------- ---------
10 SURESH BCA 30-JUL-24
20 RAMESH BSC 02-JAN-24
30 SWETHA BBA 03-MAR-24
Step-4:
The table after inserting record is viewed using select command as follows:
SQL> select * from student;
SNO SNAME COURSE ADATE
---------- -------------------- ---------- ---------
10 SURESH BCA 30-JUL-24
20 RAMESH BSC 02-JAN-24
30 SWETHA BBA 03-MAR-24
40 KAVERI BBA 04-FEB-24
50 RAJU BCA 09-MAY-24
... up to 13 records...
Step-5: Delete Command:
Delete command is used to delete a record or records from a table.
Syntax:
Delete from <table_name> where condition;
Example:
To delete a record from student table using delete command as follows:
SQL> delete from student where sno=130;
1 row deleted.
SQL> select * from student;
SNO SNAME COURSE ADATE
... remaining rows...
Step-6: update command:
To modify the existing data in the existing table is done with update command as follows:
Syntax:
Update <table_name> set column name = expression where condition;
Example:
SQL> update student set sname='MAHESH' where sno=120;
1 row updated.
SQL> select * from student;
...updated rows...
Result:
Demonstrating the data manipulation commands using SQL has been successfully done.
