SQL Queries

1) Write a query in SQL to find the minimum and maximum number from
the integer column

Select MAX(col1), MIN(col1) from table;

2) The following query shows the first row of the student table in the
output:

SELECT * FROM Student WHERE Rownum = 1;

3) The following query shows the last row of the student table in the
output:

SELECT * FROM Student WHERE Rowid = SELECT MAX(Rowid) from Studen


t;

4) The following query shows the last four rows of the Subject table:

SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM Subject order by Rowid DESC) WHERE Ro


wnum < = 4 ;

5) Syntax to find the Even rows from the table:

SELECT * FROM Table_Name WHERE MOD (Rowid,2) = 0 ;

6) The following query creates Student_Marks table from the existing


Student table:

CREATE TABLE Student_Marks SELECT * FROM Student;

7) What is a Foreign Key in PostgreSQL?

A foreign key is a column or a set of columns that establishes a link between


data in two tables.

8) To update data in a table, you can use the UPDATE statement. For
example:

UPDATE employees SET salary = 85000

WHERE name = 'John Doe’;

9) A view is a virtual table based on the result of a SELECT query. It allows


you to encapsulate complex queries and reuse them as if they were
tables. For example:

CREATE VIEW high_salary_employees AS

SELECT name, salary

FROM employees

WHERE salary > 80000;

10) To create an index in PostgreSQL, you can use the CREATE INDEX
statement. Indexes improve query performance by allowing faster
retrieval of records. For example:

CREATE INDEX idx_employee_name ON employees(name);
