  8. Course Topics

  9. Types of commands and statement elements Basic SELECT statements Module Overview

  10. Commands and Statement Elements

  11. Categories of T-SQL statements Data Manipulation Language (DML*) Data Definition Language (DDL) Data Control Language (DCL) • Statements for querying and modifying data • SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE • Statements for security permissions • GRANT, REVOKE, DENY • Statements for object definitions • CREATE, ALTER, DROP * DML with SELECT is the primary focus of this course

  12. T-SQL language elements Batch Separators Functions Predicates and Operators Variables Comments Control of Flow Expressions

  13. T-SQL language elements: predicates and operators T-SQL enforces operator precedence

  14. T-SQL language elements: functions String Functions Date and Time Functions Aggregate Functions • SUBSTRING • LEFT, RIGHT • LEN • DATALENGTH • REPLACE • REPLICATE • UPPER, LOWER • RTRIM, LTRIM • SUM • MIN • MAX • AVG • COUNT • GETDATE • SYSTDATETIME • GETUTCDATE • DATEADD • DATEDIFF • YEAR • MONTH • DAY

  15. T-SQL language elements: variables • Local variables in T-SQL temporarily store a value of a specific data type • Name begins with single @ sign • @@ reserved for system functions • Assigned a data type • Must be declared and used within the same batch • In SQL Server 2008 and later, can declare and initialize in the same statement DECLARE @MyVar int= 30;

  16. T-SQL language elements: expressions • Combination of identifiers, values, and operators evaluated to obtain a single result • Can be used in SELECT statements • SELECT clause • WHERE clause • Can be single constant, single-valued function, or variable • Can be combined if expressions have same the data type SELECTYEAR(OrderDate)+1 ... SELECTOrderQty*UnitPrice ...

  17. T-SQL language elements: batch separators • Batches are sets of commands sent to SQL Server as a unit • Batches determine variable scope, name resolution • To separate statements into batches, use a separator: • SQL Server tools use the GO keyword • GO is not a SQL Server T-SQL command

  18. T-SQL language elements: control of flow, errors, and transactions • Allow you to control the flow of execution within code, handle errors, and maintain transactions • Used in programmatic code objects • Stored procedures, triggers, statement blocks Control of Flow Error Handling Transaction Control • TRY...CATCH • BEGIN TRANSACTION • COMMIT TRANSACTION • ROLLBACK TRANSACTION • IF...ELSE • WHILE • BREAK • CONTINUE • BEGIN...END

  19. T-SQL language elements: comments • Marks T-SQL code as a comment: • For a block, enclose it between /* and */ characters • For inline text, precede the comments with -- • T-SQL Editors such as SSMS will typically color-code comments, as shown above /* This is a block of commented code */ -- This line of text will be ignored

  20. Logical query processing • The order in which a query is written is not the order in which it is evaluated by SQL Server. 5: SELECT <select list> 1: FROM <table source> 2: WHERE <search condition> 3: GROUP BY <group by list> 4: HAVING <search condition> 6: ORDER BY <order by list>

  21. Applying the logical order of operations to writing SELECT statements USEAdventureWorks2012; SELECTSalesPersonID,YEAR(OrderDate)ASOrderYear FROMSales.SalesOrderHeader WHERECustomerID= 29974 GROUPBYSalesPersonID,YEAR(OrderDate) HAVINGCOUNT(*)> 1 ORDERBYSalesPersonID,OrderYear; USEAdventureWorks2012; SELECTSalesPersonID,YEAR(OrderDate)ASOrderYear FROMSales.SalesOrderHeader WHERECustomerID=29974 GROUPBYSalesPersonID,YEAR(OrderDate) HAVINGCOUNT(*)> 1 ORDERBYSalesPersonID,OrderYear;

  22. Basic SELECT Statements

  23. Elements of the SELECT statement

  24. Retrieving columns from a table or view • Use SELECT with column list to display columns • Use FROM to specify a source table or view • Specify both schema and table names • Delimit names if necessary • End all statements with a semicolon SELECTCustomerID,StoreID FROMSales.Customer;

  25. Using calculations in the SELECT clause • Calculations are scalar, returning one value per row • Using scalar expressions in the SELECT clause SELECTunitprice,OrderQty,(unitprice *OrderQty) FROMsales.salesorderdetail;

  26. Demo Writing basic SELECT statements

  27. Summary • Three types of command used to manage SQL server objects and security include; DDL, DML, and DCL • T-SQL language elements include; • Predicates and operators – BETWEEN, LIKE, NOT, >=, * • Functions – string, date and time, aggregate • Variables – local has one @, system has two @@ • Expressions – identifiers, values, and operators • Batch separators – GO used to separate statements • Control-of-flow – IF…ELSE, WHILE, CONTINUE • Comments - /* to start */ to end; can also use --

  28. Summary • Predicate logic is a property or expression that is either true or false. Also referred to as a Boolean expression • Elements of a SELECT statement and the order they are evaluated : • 1. FROM • 2. WHERE • 3. GROUP BY • 4. HAVING • 5. SELECT • 6. ORDER BY
