Introduction to DBMS

A database management system (DBMS) consists of an interrelated data

and a set of programs to access that data. The collection of data is usually
referred to as database. The primary goal of a database is to provide an
environment that is both convenient and efficient to use in retrieving and
storing database information.
Database systems are designed to manage large bodies of
information. The management of data involves both the definition of
structures for the storage of information and provision of mechanisms for the
manipulation of information. In addition, the database system must provide
for the safety of the information stored, despite system crashes or attempts
at unauthorized access. If data is stored among several users, the system
must avoid possible anomalous results.

Database systems overcomes the problems faced in file-oriented

system. The database system are controlled by the Database Administrator
(DBA)

Advantages of DBMS:

 Reduces Data redundancy (duplicity) and inconsistency of data.

 Provides data sharing facilities.

 Provides Data Integrity and Security.

 Provides Data Independence.

 Resolves concurrent access anomalies.

DATA ABSTRACTION:

A database management system provides users with an abstract view

of data, i.e. the system hides certain details of how the data is stored and
maintained. This concern has lead to the design of complex data structures
for the representation of data in the database. Its complexity is hidden from
the users through several levels of abstraction in order to simplify the
interaction between the user and the system.

1
Physical Level:

The lowest level of abstraction describes the data is actually stored in

the database.

Conceptual Level:

The next-higher level of abstraction describes what data are

actually stored in the database and the relationship that exists between
them. This level is used by DBA, who must decide what information is to be
kept in the database.

View Level:

The highest level of abstraction describes only a part of the entire

database.

DATA MODELS:

A data model can be defined as a collection of tools for

describing data and the relationship between them.Data models can be
classified into the following groups.

 Object oriented logical models.

 Record based logical models.
 Physical data models.

Object oriented logical models:

They are used in describing data at the conceptual and view levels.
Some of the widely known models are

 Entity Relationship model(ER model): is based on real world

perception which consists of collection of basic objects called
‘Entities’ and ‘relationships’ among these objects.
 Object oriented model: is based on collection of objects. An
object contains instance variables within the object. An object
also contains bodies of code that operate on the object, called
methods.

Record based logical models:

2
 They are used in describing data at the conceptual and view levels. As the
database is structured in fixed-format records of several types, they are
called as record based logical models.
Some of the widely known models are:

 Relational model: represents data and relationships among data

by a collection of tables, each of which has a number of columns with
unique names.
 Network model: represents data by collection of records and
relationships among data are represented by links which are viewed as
pointers.
 Hierarchical model: represents data by collection of records, which
are organized as trees rather than arbitrary graphs and relationships
among data are represented by links which are viewed as pointers.
 Physical models: They are used in describing data at the lowest level.

DATABASE FACILITIES:

Two main types of facilities are provided by a DBMS:

 Data definition facility or Data definition language (DDL).

 Data manipulation or Data manipulation language (DML).

Data definition language (DDL):

A database scheme is specified by a set of definitions which are

expressed by a special language called Data definition language
(DDL).The result of compilation of DDL statements is a set of tables which
are stored in a special file called Data Dictionary.
The storage structures and access methods used by the
database system are specified by a set of definitions in a special type of
DDL called Data storage and definition language. The result of
compilation of these definitions is a set of instructions to specify the
implementation details of the database schemes which are usually hidden
from others.

Data manipulation language (DML):

A Data manipulation language (DML) is a language that

enables users to access or manipulate data efficiently.
Data manipulation means

3
 1. Retrieval of information stored in the database.
2. Insertion of new information into the database.
3. Deletion of information from the database.
4. Modification of data stored in the database.
There two types of DMLS:
1. Procedural DMLs requires a user to specify what data is
need and how it get it.
2. Non Procedural DMLs requires a user to specify what data
is needed without specifying how to get it.

Query is a statement requesting the retrieval of information. A

portion of a DML that involves retrieval is called query
language.

STRUCTURE OF A DBMS:

The major components of this system are

Data definition language compiler:

The DDL compiler converts data definition statements into

a set of tables. These tables contain metadata concerning the database.

Data Manager:

The data manager is the central software component of the

DBMS.Its function is to convert operation queries coming from query
processor or indirectly or an application program from the user’s logical view
to physical file system. The data manager is responsible for interfacing the
file system.

File Manager:

It is responsible for the structure of files and managing the file space
and also for locating the block containing required record, requesting this
block from the disk manager, and transmitting the required record to the data
manager.

Disk manager:

4
The disk manager transfers the block containing the data requested by the
file manager without the concern of physical characteristics of the underlying
storage media.

Query Processor:

The query processor is used to interpret the online user’s query and covert it
into an efficient series of operations in a form capable of being sent to the
data manager for execution. It uses data dictionary to find the structure of the
relevant portion of the database and uses this information in modifying the
query.

Data Files:

Data files contain data portion of the database.

Data Dictionary:

A data dictionary is a file that contains metadata. i.e. data about data. This
file is consulted before actual data is read or deleted in the database system.

Different types of Keys:

Attribute: An object or an entity is characterized by its properties or attributes,

they can also be referred as field.

1. Primary key: An attribute to identify a record uniquely without allowing

any null values to be entered into it is called Primary key.

Ex: empno attribute in the employee table and deptno attribute in dept table.

2. Foreign key: An attribute which is a primary key in its own table and is
used as a reference in another table is called foreign key.
3. Super Key: A primary key with a combination of other attributes for
unique identification is called super key. In other words primary key is a
minimum super key.
Ex: Empno along with ename is super key.

4. Candidate Key: The super key for which no proper subset is a super
key such a minimal super key is a candidate key.

5
 Ex: Ename is a candidate key.
STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE(SQL)

SQL is the official standard language used to access data held in the
databases.
SQL organizes data as tables , indexes , views etc. SQL is the tool
for organizing , managing and retrieving data stored in the database.
SQL provides various features like portability , client-server
architecture ,dynamic data definition , multiple views of data etc.

SQL Statements:

SQL statements are divided into

1. Data Definition language(DDL)
2. Data Manipulation Language(DML)
3. Data Control Language (DCL)
4. Transaction Processing Language (TPL)
5. Data Retrieval Language (DRL)
Data Definition Language (DDL): These statements define the structure
of the database. DDL consists of create, alter and drop statements.

Data Manipulation Language (DML): These statements are basically

required to manipulate the records of the tabled consists of insert, delete,
and update statements.

Data Control Language (DCL): These statements are basically required to

control the tables among several users by giving access or by taking back
the access to the tables. DCL consists of grant and revoke statements.

Transaction control language (TCL): These statements are basically related

to various transactions like insert, delete, and update.

Data retrieval language (DRL): These statements are basically required to

retrieve the records for the table. DRL consists of select statements.

Data types in SQL:

1.Varchar2(size):
It is a variable length string with a max length of ‘size’ bytes.
2. Char (size):
It specifies a fixed length character string. Max size is 255
3. Number (n):

6
It specifies integer type of data with max of n digits.
4.Number(p,s):
It specifies floating number with p as total no of digits and specifies the
number of digits to the right of decimal points.

5. Date: It specifies the date in DD-MM-YY format.

Data definition language (DDL):

Create statement: It is used to create and define a table.

Syntax:

Create table <table name>

(<field-name1> <data type> [column constraints],

<field-name2> <data type> [column constraints],
.
.
.
<field-name n> <data type> [column constraints]) ;

Column constraints :

1. Primary Key: It will not allow null and duplicate values corresponding to
that column.
2. Not Null : It will allow null values corresponding to that column
3. Unique: It will not allow duplicate values corresponding to that column.
4. Check: It will impose the constraints based on the condition being
mentioned on the column.
5. Reference( foreign key): It will impose the constraints based on the
condition being mentioned on the column
6. Reference (foreign key): It will refer to other column values that are
acting as primary key in other table.
7. On delete cascade: It will delete the values in the column in one table,
corresponding values in other table will be deleted automatically, and it
will work only references only.

Example 1:

7
 Create a table employee with employee no as primary key, name
field not be left empty, salary greater than 2000,job field not to be left
empty,deptno is foreign key taken from dept table.

Example 2:

Create dept table with deptno as primary key and dept

name as not null.
SQL>Create table Dept
(Deptno number(3) primary key,
Dname varchar2(10) not null);

Example 3: Create a customer table.

SQL>Create table Customer
(Cust_id number(5) primary key,
First_name varcahr2(20) not null,
Last_name varchar2(20) not null,
Address varchar2(40),
City varchar2(20),
State varchar2(20),
Phone_no number(9) unique);

Table Level Constraints:

Imposing constraints after declaring all the columns of the table, then
we call it as table level constraints.

Example 4: Create project table.

SQL>Create table Project

(Emp_id number(5),

8
 Proj_id number(5),
Payment number(8),
Primary key(Emp_id,Proj_id);

Create with Select:

To create a table from taking the records from existing table. When creating
a table based on existing table then it is going to transfer only not null
constraint, other constraints will not be transferred.

Example 1:
SQL>Create table Emp
As select Empno, Ename, Salary from Employee;

Create with select using where clause:

Example 2: Create a table empno containing the details in deptno 10 only

SQL>Create table Empd

As select * from Employee
Where deptno=10;
Alter Statement: It is used to alter the definition of a table in the database

Syntax:

Alter table<table_name>
Add column_name data_type <column_constraint>
[Modify column_name data_type <column_constraint>];

Add: is used when ever you want to add a new column to the table.

Example 1: Adding Phno as a new field into Employee table

SQL>Alter table Employee

Add(Phno number(7));

Example 2: Adding empno as primary key to Emp table

SQL>Alter table Emp

Add(Primary key(empno));

9
Modify: is used to change the size of the column of the same data
type.Modify will not decrease the column size.Whenever it comes to increase
in the size of column it is going to allow only when the field is empty.

Example 1:

Modify the salary field by increasing its size.

SQL>Alter table Emp
Modify(sal number(9,2));

Droping the Constraints:

Example1:
Dropping Primary key constraint we must see that no references
are there from other tables.

SQL>Alter table Emp

Drop Primary key;
Drop command: is used to drop the table.

Syntax:
Drop table<table_name>;

Example 1: Dropping emp table.

SQL>Drop table emp;

Describe command: is used to display the structure of the table.Desc can
also be used

10
Data Manipulation Language (DML):

Insert command: is used to add rows(or records) to the table. The number

and sequence should match that of columns in the table.If the number of
data values is less, then specify the column names into which data is being
entered. To insert null values, NULL can be used.
Syntax:
Insert into<table_name>values(datavalue_1,………..,datavalue_n);

Insert into<table_name>(column_1,column_3)
Values(datavalue_1,datavalue_3);

Example 1: Insert 100th record into employee table.

SQL>insert into employee

Values(100,’James’,6000,’17-Mar-03’);
Example 2: Inserting 101th record into employee table with salary and date
Of joining as null values.

SQL>Insert into employee

Values(101,’James’,null,null);
Example 3: Inserting 1001th record into employee table with only empno
and name.
SQL>Insert into employee(empno,ename)
Values(1001,’John’);
Insert with select: is used to transfer the data from one table to another
table.
Syntax:
Insert into<table_name>
Select <field_name_1>,……<field_name_n> from <table_name>
Where<condition>;
Example 1:

SQL>Insert into emp

Select empno,ename,sal from employee
Where deptno=10;

Delete Command: is used to delete the records from the specified table.
Syntax:
Delete <table_name>
Where<condition>;

11
Example 1: Deleting the employee holding empno1001

SQL> Delete employee where empno = 1001;

Example 2 : Delete all the records of the employee table

SQL> Delete employee;

Example 3: Delete the employees who are working as clerks.

SQL> Delete employee where job =’clerk’

Update command: is used to modify the records of the table

Syntax:
Update <table_name>
Set <field_name> = <value> ,
.
.
.
Where <condition> ;

Example1: Increase all the employees salary by Rs. 500

SQL> update employee set sal=sal+500;

Example2: Give an increment of 20% salary and commission by 5%of

salary
SQL> update employee set sal = sal* 1.2, comm = (sal* 0.05) +comm;

Example3: Promote the manager as director of the company

SQL> update employee set job =’director ‘ where job= ‘manager’;

Example4: Give an increment of 10% salary whose salary is less than Rs.
1000
SQL> update employee set sal = sal*1.1 where sal <1000;

Transaction control language(TCL);

The DML transactions will not be saved implicitly based on the following
reasons.

12
 1. Improper shut down
2. System crash
3. When working under SQL environment DML transactions will not
saved.
To handle DML transactions explicitly we require a set of commands which
are commit, roll back and save point.

Commit command: is used to save all the transactions up to the last

command explicitly.

SQL> insert into employee( empno, ename) values (200, ‘smith’);

SQL> commit ;

Roll back command: is used to undo the transactions up to the last

commit.

SQL> Rollback;

Savepoint: is used to minimize roll back only to certain transactions

Example:

SQL> insert ………

SQL> savepoint ins;
SQL> update …….
SQL> savepoint upd
SQL> delete ….
SQL> savepoint del;
SQL> Rollback;
SQL> commit;
SQL> Rollback to del;(Once you commit and then give rollback, will
remove all save points)

Autocommit command: is used to make all DML transactions to save

implicitly after the execution of the command.

SQL> set autocommit on;

SQL> set autocommit off;

To see the status of autocommit we use show command.

SQL> show autocommit;

13
Data Retrieval language(DRL);

Select command: is used to retrieve the records from the table.

Syntax:
Select < field_name_1>, …….. , <field_name_n> from <table_name>

where <condition> ;
Example 1: To display the deptno,dname,loc.

Example 2: To display all the employee details,who are working as manager.

SQL>Select * from emp where job-‘manager’;

Logical Operators:

• And
• Or
• Not
Example 1: To display the employee information who are working in deptno
10 and salary greater than 2000.
SQL>select * from emp
Where deptno=10 and sal>2000;
Example 2: To display the employee information who are working as
manager corresponding to deptno 20.
SQL>select * from emp
Where job=’manager’ and depno=20;
Example 3: To display the employee information who are working in deptno
10,20.
SQL>select * from emp

14
 Where deptno=10 or dept=20;
Example 4: To display the employee information who are working as
managers corresponding to deptno 10 as well as the employees who are
receiving salary more than 2000 corresponding to deptno 20.

SQL>select * from emp

Where job=’manager’ and deptno=10;

Special Operators:

 Is null
 In
 Between
 like

 is null: is used to check the null values corresponding to

the column.

Example 1: To display the employee information who are not receiving any
commission.

SQL>select * from emp

Where comm Is null;
 Between: Whenever we want to frame the condition in the range of
values then we use the between operator.

Example1: To display the employee information whose salary is greater than

1000 and less than 2000.

SQL>select * from emp

Where sal between 1000 and 2000;
Example 2: To display the employee information for those who are working
for deptno 10 with their first alphabet of the name is coming in the range of
‘e’ to ‘j’.

SQL>select * from emp

Where deptno=10 and(ename between ‘E’ and ‘J’);

 In: When you have multiple conditions among which any one has to be
selected we use in operator.
Example 1: To display the employee details who are working as managers
,clerks ,analyst.

15
 SQL>select * from emp
Where job in(‘manager’,’clerk’,’analyst’);
Example 2:To display the employee who are working in the deptno 10,20,30.
SQL>select * from emp
Where deptno in (10,20,30);

 Like: is used when you want to frame a condition based on a particular

pattern, for which we need wild card characters, which are ‘%’ and ‘_’.
‘%’ is used to replace any no.of characters in the pattern.
‘_’ is used to replace only single characters in the pattern.

Example 1: To display the employee details whose names are ending with
‘s’.
SQL>select * from emp
Where ename like’%s’;

Example 2: To diplay the employee names have onlay 5 characters.

SQL>select * from emp
Where ename like’_____’;

Example 3: To display the employee details whose name has ‘a’ as second
character and ‘r’ as last character.
SQL>select * from emp
Where ename like’_a%r’;

Special operators with not:

Example1: To display the employee information who are receiving any

commission.
SQL>select * from emp
Where comm. Is not null;

Example 2:To display employee information for whose who are working as
managers and receiving salary other than the range 2000 to 3000.
SQL>select * from emp
Where job=’manager’ and sal not between 2000 and 3000;

Example 3:To display the employee details who are working in dept other
than 20,30.
SQL>select * from emp
Where deptno not in (20,30);

16
Example 4:To display the employee details who are working in deptno 10,20
for their names not ending with ‘s’.
SQL>select * from emp
Where deptno in(10,20) and ename not like ‘%s’;

SUB QUERIES: when we are using more than one select statement to
perform particular operation then we will be calling it as a subquery.In
subquery the inner statement will be executed first and only noce as
compared to the outer statement.

Syntax: select -----------

From<table name>
Where(select ------);

Example 1: To display all the employee’s information whose salary is greater

than Smith’s salary.

SQL>select * from emp

Where sal>(select sal from emp
Where ename=’SMITH’);

Example 2: To display all the employee’s information who is receiving the

highest salary.

28
 SQL>select * from employee
Where sal=(select max(sal) from emp);

Example 3: To display all the employee’s information whose job is same like
Smith at the same time salary greater than Allen.

SQL>select * from emp

Where job=(select job from emp where
ename=’SMITH’)
And sal>(select sal from emp
Where ename=’ALLEN’);

Example 4:To display all the employee’s information who is receiving salary
greater than average salary of all the employee’s.

SQL>select * from emp

Where sal>(select avg(sal) from emp);

Example 5:To display the manager no.alng with the no.of employee’s
working under him should be maximum no.of employees compared with the
other members.

SQL>select mgr,count(*) from emp

Group by mgr
Having count(*)=(select max(count(*) from
Emp group by mgr);

Example 6: To display the employee information under which maximum

no.of employee’s working.

SQL>select * from emp

Where empno=(select mgr from emp
Group by mgr)
Having count(*)=(select max(count(*) fom emp
group by mgr);

Example 7: To disaply all the employee’s information who is receiving the

second highest salary.

SQL>select * from emp

Where sal=(select max(sal) from emp where
Sa<(select max(sal) from emp));

29
When the subquery is returning more than one value to frame the condition
we have to use all or any.

Example 8: To display the employee information whose salary is greater

than all the employees salaries of deptno 20.

SQL>select * from emp

Where sal>all(select sal from emp
Where deptno=20);

Views: Views can be defined as a virtual table because it doesn’t exist by

itself,unless you are having one or more ordinary table on which it will be
based or dependent.The table on which view is based is called as base table
of the view.It is possible to insert,update and delete the data in the view in
the same way as in the table.

Advantages of views:

30
  Providing the security for the table.
 By giving limited access to your table to other users.
 Complicated queries can be generated by using views a normal
simple table creation.

Creation of view:

Syntax: create view <view name>

As select ------ from <table name>;

Example 1: To create a view for emp table with empno,name,salary.

SQL>craerte view empview

As select empno,ename,sal from emp;

Example 2: To create a view for emp table for dept 10.

SQL>create view d10view

As select * from emp
Where deptno=10;

Insert into view:

Example 1: Insert a new record into view empview.

SQL>insert into empview

Values(101,’WILLIAM’,2000);

Viewing the contents of d10view:

Example: To display the contents of d10view.

SQL>select * from d10view;

31
Replace: Replace option is used whenever you want to over write the
existing select statement with new select statement.

Example: To create empview with empno,name,salary and deptno.

SQL>replace view empview

As select empno,ename,sal,deptno from emp;

With check option: When ever you want to restrict the user to insert thr
records which are satisfying the where condition of the view then we use with
check option.

Syntax: create view <view name>

As select-----from <table name>
Where <condition>
With check option;
Example : create a view for employee details of deptno. 20

SQL>create view d20view

As select * from emp

32
 Where deptno=20
With check option;
If you try to enter deptno other than 20,it will not be accepted into the view.

Sequences: Whenever you want to create a object which is going to

generate the numbers in a particular order (i.e. interval) then we will be
calling a sequence.

Syntax: create sequence <seq.Name>

Start with <no.>
Increment by <interval>
Maxvalue <n>
Minvalue <n>
Cache
Cycle;
Whenever you want to generate the next number of the sequence then we
will be using nextval and when you want to see the current position of the
sequence we use currval.

Example: SQL>create sequence eno

Start with 5
Increment by 1
Minvalue 5
Maxvalue 15
Cache 5
Cycle;
This is going to create a sequence with name eno starting with
5,incrementing by 1,minimum value is 5,maximum value is 15,cache is 5 and
with cycle.

Altering the sequence: whenever you want to change any options related t

To existing sequence then we will be using Alter.

Note:start with cannot be changed using Alter.

Syntax: alter sequence <seq.name>

<options to be changed>;
Example: SQL>alter sequence eno
Increment by 2
Minvalue 10
Maxvalue 100;

33
Drop sequence: Whenever you want to drop a sequence we use drop
statement.
Syntax: drop sequence <seq.name>

Example: SQL>drop sequence eno;

INDEX: Whenever you to retrieve the records faster corresponding to one

condition then we will be using Indexing concept.
Before going to index,identify the fields which will be using
mostly in the where clause then indx on those fields.Apply index when there
are more than 500 records are present in a table.
There are 3 types of indexes Simple index, Unique index
and Concatenated index.
Syntax: SQL>create index <index name> on <table name>(<field name>);

1. Simple index: Is used when indexing is based on the column of the

table.

Example 1: SQL>create index idept on emp(deptno);

Example 2: SQL>create index iename on emp(ename):

2. Unique index: Is used when indexing is based on implementing

unique constraint along with indexing.

Example : SQL>create unique index iph on emp(phno);

3. concatenated index: Is used when indexing is based on more than

one column as a combination.

Example: SQL>create index ds on emp(deptno,sal);

Delete index: drop statement is used

Example: SQL>drop index idept;

34
 PL/SQL(Procedural Language using sql)
PL/SQL can be called the extension of SQL where it is going to support
the SQL statement along with the processing statement we will be calling
it as Procedural Language.

PL/SQL is divided into 3 parts

1.Declaration part: Declaring the variables.
2.Execution part: corresponding to the task all the statements are to be
written here.
3.Exception part: Errors are to be handled properly.

DBMS output.put line(string): Is a function used to print message on the

screen.before using this function set serveroutput on.
SQL>set serveroutput on;
%type: Is used in declaring whenever we want to assign the same datatype
and size of one variable to another variable.

Example: sall emp.sal%type;/*sall is of same type&size as that of sal field in

emp table*/

Syntax: Declare
: /*Declaring block*/
Begin
: /*Execution block*/
Exception
: /*Exception block*/
End;

Example: Write a PL/SQL block which finds area of a circle.

SQL>ed area
Declare
R number(2):=10;
Pi constant number(4,3):=3.14;
A number(7,2);
Begin
A:=Pi*R*R;
DBMS_output.put_line(‘area is=’||to_char(a));
End;
/

35
SQL>@area; /* To execute the PL/SQL block*/

Example: Write a PL/SQL block which accepts the empno and if an

employee doesn’t have commission,he will get 10% of his salary as
commission.

Select <var> into <PL/SQL var>;

SQL>ed mcom
Declare
Eno number(5):=&emp
Comm1 emp1.comm%type;
Sal1 emp1.sal%type;
Begin
Select comm.,sal into comm1,sal1 from emp
Where empno=eno;
If comm1 is null then
Update emp1
Set comm.=sal*.1
Where empno=eno;
Else
DBMS_output.put_line(‘Commission is existing for’||to_char(eno));
End if;
End;
/

SQL>@mcom;

TRIGGER: Triggers are procedures that are sotored in the database not in
the complied form and implicitly fired when an event
occurs.Traditionally,triggers guarantee that when a specific operation is
performed related actions are performd.Triggers support the execution of a
Pl/SQL block when an INSERT<UPDATE,or DELETE occurances on a table
view.
Advantages of Triggers:

• Applying Complex Bussiness rules.

• Security.
• Auditing.

Syntax: Create or replace trigger <trigger name>

36
 Before/after insert or delete or update on <table name> for each
row.
Begin
:
:
End;

Example 1: Create a database Trigger corresponding to emp table which is

not going to allow the user to insert the employee’s salary more than 5000.

SQL>ed t1
Create or replace trigger eins
Before insert on emp for each row
Begin
If:new.sal>5000 then
Raise_application_erroe(-20001,’salary above 5000’);
End if;
End;
/

SQL>@t1

Example 2: Create a database Trigger on dept table which prevents the

user from updating the deptno or deleting a row from the dept table if
dependent rows are existing in the emp table( i.e. if there are any employee’s
belonging to that department).

37
SQL>ed t2
Create or replace trigger updel
Before update or delete on dept for each row
Begin
Declare
No number(4);
If updating or deleting then
Select count(*) no from emp
Where deptno=:new.deptno;
If (no>1) then
Raise_application_erroe(-20001,’Records existing in
emp table’);
End if;
End if;
End;
