SQL Set Operators

SQL Set Operators   Traditional Set Operators: Union Compatibility:     Requirement for the traditional set operators.    Strong requirement.                         - Same number of columns.                         - Each corresponding column is compatible.                         - Positional correspondence.     Apply to similar tables by removing columns first. SQL UNION Example:           Example 1: Retrieve basic data about all university people.                     SELECT FacNo AS PerNo, FacFirstName                                      ...

Query Formulation

Query Formulation

 Query Formulation Process:


Critical Questions:

What tables? 
        -Columns in result.
        -Conditions to test (including join conditions).

How to combine the tables? 
        -Usually join of PK to FK.

More complex ways to combine Individual rows or groups of rows? 
        -Aggregate functions in result.
        -Conditions with aggregate functions.

University Database Diagram:



Summarization and Joins 1:

    Example 1: List the number of students enrolled in each 2017 course offering showing the offer number and number of students in the result.

            SELECT Offering.OfferNo, 
                            COUNT(*) AS NumStudents 
                FROM Enrollment, Offering 
                WHERE Offering.OfferNo = Enrollment.OfferNo 
                AND OffYear = 2017 
                GROUP BY Offering.OfferNo;

Summarization and Joins 2:

    Example 2: List the offering number, course number, and average GPA.  Only include courses offered in fall 2016 in which the average GPA is greater than 3.0.

            SELECT Enrollment.OfferNo, CourseNo, 
                            AVG(StdGPA) AS AvgGPA 
                FROM Offering, Enrollment, Student 
                WHERE Offering.OfferNo = Enrollment.OfferNo 
                AND Student.StdNo = Enrollment.StdNo 
                AND OffYear = 2016 
                AND OffTerm = 'FALL' 
                GROUP BY Enrollment.OfferNo, CourseNo 
                HAVING AVG(StdGPA) > 3.0;

Efficiency Considerations:

  • Little concern for efficiency.
  • Intelligent SQL compilers.
  • Correct and non redundant solution.
                -No extra tables.
                -No unnecessary grouping.
                -No missing join conditions.

Extra Table Redundancy:

    Example 3: List the offering number, course number, and average GPA.  Only include courses offered in fall 2016 in which the average GPA is greater than 3.0.

            SELECT Enrollment.OfferNo, Offering.CourseNo, 
                            AVG(StdGPA) AS AvgGPA 
                FROM Offering, Enrollment, Student, Course 
                WHERE Offering.OfferNo = Enrollment.OfferNo 
                AND Student.StdNo = Enrollment.StdNo 
                AND Course.CourseNo = Offering.CourseNo 
                AND OffYear = 2016 AND OffTerm = 'FALL' 
                GROUP BY Enrollment.OfferNo, Offering.CourseNo 
                HAVING AVG(StdGPA) > 3.0;

CREATE TABLE Syntax

CREATE TABLE Syntax CREATE TABLE <table-name> ( <column-list> [<constraint-list>] ). Column list with data types and optional and inline constraints. Optional external constraint list  CONSTRAINT [ ConstraintName ] <Constraint-Spec>            Primary key            Foreign key            Unique            Check CREATE TABLE Statement Example CREATE TABLE Student            ( StdNo CHAR(11),            StdFirstName VARCHAR(50),            StdLastName VARCHAR(50),            StdCity VARCHAR(50),            StdState CHAR(2),            StdZip CHAR(10),            ...
