  6. DROP TABLE • Used to delete a table from a database • Syntax: • DROP TABLE <tablename>; • Example: • Delete the Rep table • Solution: • DROP TABLE Rep; • NOTE: WILL ALSO DELETE DATA!!!

  7. Use of NULL VALUES • When you do or don’t want a field value to be left blank… • Example: CREATE TABLE Rep (Rep_Num Char (2) PRIMARY KEY, Last_Name Char (15) NOT NULL, …);

  8. INSERT • INSERT clause – used to add data (in rows) to a table • Syntax: INSERT INTO <tablename> Values (value1, value2, value3, …, value n);
