Topic: Structured Query Language



  
 SQL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Translating the query into an efficient query plan is left to the database system, more specifically to the query optimizer.
However, it also makes it possible for SQL source code to be produced (and optimized) by software, leading to the development of a number of natural language database query languages, as well as 'drag and drop' database programming packages with 'object oriented' interfaces.
SQL is the most popular computer language used to create, modify and retrieve data from relational database management systems.

 Summarizing data with SQL (Structured Query Language)
Structured Query Language (SQL) was created to shield the database programmer from understanding the specifics of how data is physically stored in each database management system and also to provide a universal foundation for updating, creating and extracting data from database systems that support an SQL interface.
SQL and its predecessors (other query languages) changed a lot of that by providing a logical abstraction to this physical layer.
An interesting footnote is that SQL originated from work done in Mathematics Set Theory and a language called SEQUEL (Structured English QUery Language) an API created by IBM for its first relational database management system System/R. In fact many people still pronouce SQL as SEQUEL.

 SQL Tutorial - Thunder Software
This makes it easier to write queries as well as provides clarity in reading a query, it may also be required to eliminate ambiguity caused when two or more tables are joined together and the query engine cannot determine which table the column you are referencing should be used.
SQL is a query language that allows access to data residing in relational database management systems (RDBMS), such as Sybase, Oracle, Informix, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Access and many others.
Alias's are names that are assigned to tables in the FROM clause of a query that are then used as prefixes in all dot notations for columns referenced in the query.

 Microsoft Access: Lesson 16 - The Structured Query Language
To create more advanced queries, the SQL allows you to sort a field on a query and use this arrangement as part of the query.
In fact, all queries are based on SQL and this language is used by most database development environments, including Microsoft Access.
This concept of building a query is based on the Structured Query Language abbreviated SQL.

 Structured Query Language (SQL)
The most common language used with relational databases is Structured Query Language (SQL, often pronounced "Sequel"), which was invented by IBM in the 1970s.
Unfortunately, despite the standardization efforts, and because of the dominance of a small number of database vendors who have proprietary implementations of the SQL language, with their own extensions and quirks, a true, practical, SQL standard is still not a reality.
This means that most operations performed using SQL statements do not operate on a single row in a table, but instead operate on multiple rows in a table.

 Introduction to Structured Query Language
--First, to cover the obvious, a single-row query is a query that returns one row as its result, and a multiple-row query is a query that returns more than one row as its result.
When you access a view, the query that is defined in your view creation statement is performed (generally), and the results of that query look just like another table in the query that you wrote invoking the view.
If your query, on the other hand, returns multiple rows, you will have to use the Fetch statement, and quite probably, some sort of looping structure in your program will be required to iterate processing on each returned row of the query.

 Oracle Embraces Structured Query Language
The SQL interface expanded to include new object types and object views to work with object-oriented data and integrate it with relational data, an improvement made necessary by the object relational database capabilities introduced in Oracle8.
Eventually, SQL (Structured Query Language) became the data-access language for use with relational databases, including Oracle.
The original SQL interface was designed to work with relational tables, their rows, and their columns.

In this query, all rows in the FACULTY table that have the same department codes are grouped together.
The first point to stress is that the result of the query is another table -- a table that is derived in some way from the existing tables in the database.
In this query, the average salary for all departments is computed, but only the names of those departments having an average salary above $25,000 are displayed.
