 Installation Summary

 More detailed installation instructions are

given on the CD
 Install MySQL in c:\mysql
 MySQL can be installed as a service
(Win 2000/XP)
 Can make icons on the desktop for starting
and stopping the server.

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 5

 Command Line Client

 The standard command line client is

 c:\mysql\bin\mysql.exe
 The command line client can be used to
send commands and SQL queries to the
MySQL server
 There are also GUI clients such as MyCC

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 6

 Client-Server Interaction

Make a request
(SQL query)

MySQL Client
Server Get results Program

Client program can be a MySQL command line client,

GUI client, or a program written in any language such
as C, Perl, PHP, Java that has an interface to the
MySQL server.

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 7

 Connecting to the Server

 Use a command prompt that sets the path to

c:\mysql\bin
 The following command connects to the
server:
 mysql -u root -p
 you are prompted for the root password.
 you can now send comands and SQL statements
to the server

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 8

 WARNING WARNING

 WARNING
 Always assume that everything is case
sensitive, especially table names.
 This is not the case in Windows XP but it is
the case in Linux

 Logging output

 The commands you type and their ouput can

be logged to a file by using the following
command inside the MySQL command line
client
 tee log.txt
 Here log.txt is the name of the file

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 16

 Executing SQL files (1)

 It is usually better to use an editor to write

an SQL script and send it to the server.
 A file of SQL commands such as books.sql
can be executed by the server by using a
command such as
 C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root -p < books.sql
 This assumes that books.sql is in your
current directory. Otherwise the complete
path to books.sql must be supplied
25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 17
 Executing SQL files (2)

 A file of SQL commands such as books.sql

can also be executed from inside the MySQL
client using the source command
 source c:\.....\books.sql
 Here the full path to books.sql should be
used.

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 18

 Documentation

 MySQL comes with a tutorial and complete

documentation in a HUGE file:
 c:\mysql\Docs\manual.html
 Table of contents with links:
 c:\mysql\Docs\manual_toc.html
 Use this file to locate the link to the topic
you are interested in.

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 19

 Database concepts (1)

 A relational database management system

consists of a number of databases.
 Each database consists of a number of
tables.
column
 Example table headings

isbn title author pub year price

books
rows
table
(records)

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 20

 Some SQL data types (1)

 Each entry in a row has a type specified by

the column.
 Numeric data types
 TINYINT, SMALLINT, MEDIUMINT,
 INT, BIGINT
 FLOAT(display_length, decimals)
 DOUBLE(display_length, decimals)
 DECIMAL(display_length, decimals)
 NUMERIC is the same as DECIMAL

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 21

 Some SQL data types (2)

 Date and time types

 DATE
 format is YYYY-MM-DD
 DATETIME
 format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
 TIMESTAMP
 format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
 TIME
 format HH:MM:SS
 YEAR
 default length is 4

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 22

 SQL data types (3)

 String types
 CHAR
 fixed length string, e.g., CHAR(20)
 VARCHAR
 variable length string, e.g., VARCHAR(20)
 BLOB, TINYBLOB, MEDIUMBLOB, LONGBLOB
 same as TEXT, TINYTEXT ...
 ENUM
 list of items from which value is selected

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 23

 SQL commands SHOW, USE

 SHOW
 Display databases or tables in current database;
 Example (command line client):
 show databases;
 show tables;
 USE
 Specify which database to use
 Example
 use bookstore;
25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 24
 The CREATE Command (1)

 CREATE creates a database table

CREATE TABLE table_name
(
column_name1 column_type1,
column_name2 column_type2,
...
column_nameN column_typeN
);

Note: To create a database use the statement

CREATE db_name;
25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 25
 The CREATE Command (2)

 Specifying primary keys

CREATE TABLE table_name
(
column_name1 column_type1 NOT NULL
DEFAULT '0',
column_name2 column_type2,
...
column_nameN column_typeN,
PRIMARY KEY (column_name1)
);
25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 26
 The CREATE Command (3)

 autoincrement primary integer keys

CREATE TABLE table_name
(
column_name1 column_type1 PRIMARY
KEY NOT NULL DEFAULT '0'
AUTO_INCREMENT,
column_name2 column_type2,
...
column_nameN column_typeN,
);
25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 27
 The CREATE Command (4)

 Can also create UNIQUE keys. They are

similar to PRIMARY KEYS but can have NULL
values.
 Can also create INDEX fields.

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 28

 Conditional Creation

 Conditional database creation

 CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS
db_name;
 Conditional table creation
 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
table_name;

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 29

 The DROP Command

 To delete databases and tables use the

DROP command
 Examples
 DROP DATABASE db_name;
 DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS db_name;
 DROP TABLE table_name;
 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS table_name;

Note: Don't confuse DROP with DELETE which deletes rows

of a table.

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 30

 The INSERT Command

 Inserting rows into a table

INSERT INTO table_name
( col_1, col_2, ..., col_N)
VALUES
( val_1, val_2, ...,
val_N);

String values are enclosed in single quotes by default

but double quotes are also allowed. Literal quotes
need to be escaped using \' and \"

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 31

 The SELECT Command (1)

 Selecting rows from a table

 Simplest form: select all columns
SELECT * FROM table_name;
 Select specified columns
SELECT column_list FROM table_name;
 Conditional selection of rows
SELECT column_list FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 32

 The SELECT Command (2)

 Specifying ascending row ordering

SELECT column_list FROM table_name
WHERE condition
ORDER by ASC;
 Specifying descending row ordering
SELECT column_list FROM table_name
WHERE condition
ORDER by DESC;

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 33

 The SELECT Command (3)

 There are many other variations of the select

command.
 Example: finding the number of records in a
table assuming a primary key called id:
SELECT COUNT(id) FROM table_name

 Can also perform searching using the

WHERE option

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 34

 The UPDATE Command

 Used to modify an existing record

UPDATE table_name
SET col_1 = 'new_value1',
..., col_n = 'new_value2';
 Conditional update version
UPDATE table_name
SET col_1 = 'new_value1',
..., col_n = 'new_value2'
WHERE condition;

);

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 36

INSERT INTO marks (first_name, last_name,
mark) VALUES ('Joan', 'Davis', 86);

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 37

 Executing The Script

 within MySQL use a command such as

 source c:/.........../marks.sql

 This adds the marks table to the test

database

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 38

 The Marks Table

 Selecting the complete table

SELECT * FROM marks;

+-----------+------------+-----------+------+

+-----------+------------+-----------+------+
| 1 | Fred | Jones | 78 |
| 2 | Bill | James | 67 |
| 3 | Carol | Smith | 82 |
| 4 | Bob | Duncan | 60 |
| 5 | Joan | Davis | 86 |
+-----------+------------+-----------+------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 39

 The WHERE Clause (1)

 Select rows according to some criterion

SELECT * FROM marks WHERE studentID > 1
AND studentID < 5;

+-----------+------------+-----------+------+

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 42

 Searching Using LIKE (1)

 LIKE is used to search a table for values

containing a search string:
 There are two wild-card characters used to
specifiy patterns:
 _ matches a single character
 % matches zero or more characters
 Can also use NOT LIKE
 Searching is case insensitive

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 43

 Searching Using LIKE (2)

 Example: last names in marks table that

begin with J
SELECT * FROM marks WHERE last_name
LIK 'J%';
E
 Example: first names that have 3 letters

SELECT * FROM marks WHERE first_name

LIKE '_ _ _';

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 44

 Quoting strings

 If a string contains a single quote it must be

backquoted (escaped) before it can be used
in a query
 Example: find records containing O'Reilly
in the last_name field.
SELECT * FROM marks WHERE last_name
= 'O\'Reilly';

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 45

 Limiting number of rows

 LIMIT can be used to specify the maximum

number of rows that are to be returned by a
select query. Example
 SELECT * FROM marks LIMIT 3;
 This query will return only the first 3 rows
from the marks table
 To return 15 rows beginning at row 5 use
 SELECT * FROM marks LIMIT 4, 15;

25/03/2018 EL HAMMOUDI Hamza 46
