Theory: Functions in SQL Server are the database objects that contain a set
of SQL statements to perform a specific task. A function accepts input
parameters, perform actions, and then return the result. We should note that
functions always return either a single value or a table. The main purpose of
functions is to replicate the common task easily.

AIM: Implementation of different types of joins in SQL – Inner
Join, Outer Join, and Natural Join.
Theory: SQL Join statement is used to combine data or rows from two or
more tables based on a common field between them. Different types of Joins are
as follows:
· Inner Join – Inner Join joins two table on the basis of the column which is
explicitly specified in the ON clause. The resulting table will contain all the
attributes from both the tables including common column also. Syntax: -
SELECT * FROM table1 INNER JOIN
table2 ON table1.Column_Name = table2.Column_Name;
· Outer Join - Outer join is an operation that returns combined tuples from a
specified table even if the join condition fails. There are three types of
outer join in SQL i.e. -Left Outer Join, Right Outer Join, Full Outer Join.
Syntax: select * from table1 LEFT OUTER JOIN
table2 on table1.column_name= table2.column_name ;
· Natural Join - Natural Join joins two tables based on same attribute name
and datatypes. The resulting table will contain all the attributes of both
the table but keep only one copy of each common column. Syntax: SELECT
* FROM table1 NATURAL JOIN table2;
For outer join - select * from customers left Outer JOIN orders;

AIM: Study and implementation of - Group by and having clause,
Order by clause, Indexing.
Theory:
Group By - is used to arrange identical data into groups with the help of
some functions. i.e., if a particular column has the same values in different
rows, then it will arrange these rows in a group.
Syntax: SELECT column1, function_name(column2) FROM table_name
WHERE condition GROUP BY column1, column2
ORDER BY column1, column2;
Having - used to apply a filter on the result of ‘group by’ based on the
specified condition. The conditions are Boolean type i.e., use of logical
operators (AND, OR). Having clause is used to filter data according to the
conditions provided. Having clause is generally used in reports of large
data. Syntax: select col_1, function_name(col_2) FROM tablename
WHERE condition GROUP BY column1, column2
HAVING Condition ORDER BY column1, column2;
Result-
The implementation of Group By, Having clause, Order By and Indexing
is done successfully.
EXPERIMENT – 7
AIM: Study and implementation of - Sub queries and Views.
Theory:
· Sub Queries – In SQL a Subquery can be simply defined as a query within
another query. In other words, we can say that a Subquery is a query that is
embedded in the WHERE clause of another SQL query. Some important
rules for Subqueries:
1). You can place the Subquery in a number SQL clauses: WHERE clause, FROM clause,
HAVING clause. Subqueries can be used with SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE
statements along with expression operator. It could be equality operator or comparison
operator such as =, >, =, <= and Like operator.
2). Subquery must be enclosed in parentheses.
3). Subqueries are on the right side of the comparison operator.
4). ORDER BY command cannot be used in a Subquery. GROUPBY command can be used
to perform same function as ORDER BY command.
5). Use single-row operators with single row Subqueries. Use multiple-row operators
with multiple-row Subqueries.
Syntax: There is not any general syntax for Subqueries. However, Subqueries are
seen to be used most frequently with SELECT statement as shown below:
SELECT column_name
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name expression operator
( SELECT COLUMN_NAME from TABLE_NAME WHERE...);
· Views - Views in SQL are a kind of virtual table. A view also has rows and
columns as they are in a real table in the database. We can create a view by
selecting fields from one or more tables present in the database. A View
can either have all the rows of a table or specific rows based on certain
conditions.
o Creating Views - We can create View using CREATE VIEW statement. A View
can be created from a single table or multiple tables.
Syntax: CREATE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT column1, column2.....
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
o Listing all views in a database - We can list View using the SHOW FULL
TABLES statement or using the information_schema table. A View can be created
from a single table or multiple tables.
Syntax (Using SHOW FULL TABLES): use "database_name";
show full tables where table_type like "%VIEW";
Syntax (Using information_schema): select * from
information_schema.views where table_schema = "database_name";
o Updating Views – The view will not allow to update if there is group by &
order by clause, select statement have distinct keyword, null values, no complex
or nested queries.
Syntax: CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_name AS
SELECT column1,column2,..
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
Sub queries: SELECT order_id, item, amount from orders where order_id in
(Select order_id where customer_id=4);
Views: create view view_name as select order_id, item from orders where
customer_id=4;
Result- Thus, the implementation of Sub queries and Views was done
successfully.

AIM: Study and implementation of different types of
constraints.
Theory: Constraints are the rules that we can apply on the type of data in a
table. That is, we can specify the limit on the type of data that can be stored in a
particular column in a table using constraints.
Syntax: CREATE TABLE sample_table (
column1 data_type(size) constraint_name,
column2 data_type(size) constraint_name,
column3 data_type(size) constraint_name,....);
The available constraints in SQL are:
Not Null - If we specify a field in a table to be NOT NULL. Then the field will
never accept null value. That is, you will be not allowed to insert a new row
in the table without specifying any value to this field.
Unique Key - This constraint helps to uniquely identify each row in the
table. i.e. for a particular column, all the rows should have unique values.
We can have more than one UNIQUE column in a table.
Primary Key - Primary Key is a field which uniquely identifies each row in
the table. If a field in a table as the primary key, then the field will not be
able to contain NULL values as well as all the rows should have unique
values for this field.
Foreign Key - Foreign Key is a field in a table which uniquely identifies each
row of another table. That is, this field points to the primary key of another
table. This usually creates a kind of link between the tables.
(i) CHECK – Using the CHECK constraint we can specify a condition for
a field, which should be satisfied at the time of entering values for
this field.
(ii) DEFAULT – This constraint is used to provide a default value for
the fields. That is, if at the time of entering new records in the table if
the user does not specify any value for these fields, then the default
value will be assigned to them.
