Experiment No: 1
Objective:
To understand the different issues involved in the design and implementation of a
database system
To understand and use data definition language to write query for a database
Theory:
Oracle has many tools such as SQL * PLUS, Oracle Forms, Oracle Report Writer, Oracle
Graphics etc.
SQL * PLUS: The SQL * PLUS tool is made up of two distinct parts. These are
Interactive SQL: Interactive SQL is designed for create, access and
manipulate data structures like tables and indexes.
PL/SQL: PL/SQL can be used to developed programs for different
applications.
Oracle Forms: This tool allows you to create a data entry screen along with the
suitable menu objects. Thus it is the oracle forms tool that handles data gathering and
data validation in a commercial application.
Oracle Graphics: Some of the data can be better represented in the form of pictures.
The oracle graphics tool allows programmers to prepare graphs using data from oracle
structures like tables, views etc.
7
SQL (Structured Query Language):
Structured Query Language is a database computer language designed for
managing data in relational database management systems (RDBMS), and originally based
upon Relational Algebra. Its scope includes data query and update, schema creation and
modification, and data access control.
SQL was one of the first languages for Edgar F. Codd's relational model and became the
most widely used language for relational databases.
IBM developed SQL in mid of 1970’s.
Oracle incorporated in the year 1979.
SQL used by IBM/DB2 and DS Database Systems.
SQL adopted as standard language for RDBS by ASNI in 1989.
DATA TYPES:
1. CHAR (Size): This data type is used to store character strings values of fixed length.
The size in brackets determines the number of characters the cell can hold. The
maximum number of character is 255 characters.
2. VARCHAR (Size) / VARCHAR2 (Size): This data type is used to store variable length
alphanumeric data. The maximum character can hold is 2000 character.
3. NUMBER (P, S): The NUMBER data type is used to store number (fixed or floating
point). Number of virtually any magnitude may be stored up to 38 digits of precision.
Number as large as 9.99 * 10 124. The precision (p) determines the number of places to
the right of the decimal. If scale is omitted then the default is zero. If precision is
omitted, values are stored with their original precision up to the maximum of 38 digits.
4. DATE: This data type is used to represent date and time. The standard format is DD-
MM-YY as in 17-SEP-2009. To enter dates other than the standard format, use the
appropriate functions. Date time stores date in the 24-Hours format. By default the time
8
in a date field is 12:00:00 am, if no time portion is specified. The default date for a date
field is the first day the current month.
5. LONG: This data type is used to store variable length character strings containing up to
2GB. Long data can be used to store arrays of binary data in ASCII format. LONG
values cannot be indexed, and the normal character functions such as SUBSTR cannot
be applied.
6. RAW: The RAW data type is used to store binary data, such as digitized picture or
image. Data loaded into columns of these data types are stored without any further
conversion. RAW data type can have a maximum length of 255 bytes. LONG RAW data
type can contain up to 2GB.
Clauses, which are in some cases optional, constituent components of statements and
queries.
Expressions, which can produce either scalar values or tables consisting of columns and
rows of data.
Predicates which specify conditions that can be evaluated to SQL three-valued logic
(3VL) Boolean truth values and which are used to limit the effects of statements and
Statements which may have a persistent effect on schemas and data, or which may
SQL statements also include the semicolon (";") statement terminator. Though not
9
Insignificant white space is generally ignored in SQL statements and queries, making it
1. CREATE:
(a)CREATE TABLE: This is used to create a new relation (table)
Example:
SQL> CREATE TABLE Student (sno NUMBER (3), sname CHAR (10), class CHAR (5));
2. ALTER:
(a)ALTER TABLE ...ADD...: This is used to add some extra fields into existing
relation.
10
Syntax: ALTER TABLE relation_name ADD (new field_1 data_type(size), new field_2
data_type(size),..);
Example: SQL>ALTER TABLE std ADD (Address CHAR(10));
3. DROP TABLE: This is used to delete the structure of a relation. It permanently deletes
the records in the table.
Syntax: DROP TABLE relation_name;
Example: SQL>DROP TABLE std;
11
LAB PRACTICE ASSIGNMENT:

Experiment No:2
Objective :
To understand the different issues involved in the design and implementation of a
database system
To understand and use data manipulation language to query, update, and manage a
database
Theory :
13
Syntax: INSERT INTO relation_name_1 SELECT Field_1,field_2,field_n
FROM relation_name_2 WHERE field_x=data;
Example: SQL>INSERT INTO std SELECT sno,sname FROM student
WHERE name = ‘Ramu‘;
3. DELETE-FROM: This is used to delete all the records of a relation but it will retain the
structure of that relation.
a) DELETE-FROM: This is used to delete all the records of relation.
Syntax: SQL>DELETE FROM relation_name;
Example: SQL>DELETE FROM std;
b) DELETE -FROM-WHERE: This is used to delete a selected record from a relation.
Syntax: SQL>DELETE FROM relation_name WHERE condition;
Example: SQL>DELETE FROM student WHERE sno = 2;
5. TRUNCATE: This command will remove the data permanently. But structure will not be
removed.
14
Difference between Truncate & Delete:-
By using truncate command data will be removed permanently & will not get back
where as by using delete command data will be removed temporally & get back by
using roll back command.
By using delete command data will be removed based on the condition where as by
using truncate command there is no condition.
Truncate is a DDL command & delete is a DML command.
15
Syntax: SELECT a set of fields FROM relation_name WHERE condition;
Example: SQL> select * FROM dept WHERE deptno<=20;
DEPTNO DNAME LOC

Experiment No: 3
Objective:
NUMBER FUNCTION:
Develop aggregate plan strategies to assist with summarization of several data entries.
Aggregative operators: In addition to simply retrieving data, we often want to perform some
computation or summarization. SQL allows the use of arithmetic expressions. We now
consider a powerful class of constructs for computing aggregate values such as MIN and
SUM.
1. Count: COUNT following by a column name returns the count of tuple in that column. If
DISTINCT keyword is used then it will return only the count of unique tuple in the column.
Otherwise, it will return count of all the tuples (including duplicates) count (*) indicates all
the tuples of the column.
Syntax: COUNT (Column name)
Example: SELECT COUNT (Sal) FROM emp;
17
2. SUM: SUM followed by a column name returns the sum of all the values in that column.
Syntax: SUM (Column name)
Example: SELECT SUM (Sal) From emp;
3. AVG: AVG followed by a column name returns the average value of that column values.
Syntax: AVG (n1, n2...)
Example: Select AVG (10, 15, 30) FROM DUAL;
4. MAX: MAX followed by a column name returns the maximum value of that column.
Syntax: MAX (Column name)
Example: SELECT MAX (Sal) FROM emp;
SQL> select deptno, max(sal) from emp group by deptno;
SQL> select deptno, max (sal) from emp group by deptno having max(sal)<3000;
DEPTNO MAX(SAL)
----- --------
30 2850
5. MIN: MIN followed by column name returns the minimum value of that column.
Syntax: MIN (Column name)
Example: SELECT MIN (Sal) FROM emp;
18
CHARACTER FUNCTION:

22
Experiment No: 4
Objective:
To learn different types of operator.
Theory:
ARIHMETIC OPERATORS:
(%):Modulus - Divides left hand operand by right hand operand and returns remainder.
LOGICAL OPERATORS:
AND : The AND operator allows the existence of multiple conditions in an SQL statement's
WHERE clause.
OR: The OR operator is used to combine multiple conditions in an SQL statement's WHERE
clause.
23
NOT: The NOT operator reverses the meaning of the logical operator with which it is used.
Eg: NOT EXISTS, NOT BETWEEN, NOT IN, etc. This is a negate operator.
COMPARISION OPERATORS:
(=):Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not, if yes then condition becomes true.
(!=):Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not, if values are not equal then
condition becomes true.
(< >):Checks if the values of two operands are equal or not, if values are not equal then
condition becomes true.
(>):Checks if the value of left operand is greater than the value of right operand, if yes then
condition becomes true
(<):Checks if the value of left operand is less than the value of right operand, if yes then
condition becomes true.
(>=):Checks if the value of left operand is greater than or equal to the value of right operand,
if yes then condition becomes true.
(<=):Checks if the value of left operand is less than or equal to the value of right operand, if
yes then condition becomes true.
SPECIAL OPERATOR:
BETWEEN: The BETWEEN operator is used to search for values that are within a set of
values, given the minimum value and the maximum value.
IS NULL: The NULL operator is used to compare a value with a NULL attribute value.
ALL: The ALL operator is used to compare a value to all values in another value set
ANY: The ANY operator is used to compare a value to any applicable value in the list
according to the condition.
LIKE: The LIKE operator is used to compare a value to similar values using wildcard
operators.It allows to use percent sign(%) and underscore ( _ ) to match a given string pattern.
24
IN: The IN operator is used to compare a value to a list of literal values that have been
specified.
EXIST: The EXISTS operator is used to search for the presence of a row in a specified table
that meets certain criteria.
SET OPERATORS:
The Set operator combines the result of 2 queries into a single result. The following
are the operators:
Union
Union all
Intersect
Minus
1. Display all the dept numbers available with the dept and emp tables avoiding duplicates.
2. Display all the dept numbers available with the dept and emp tables.
3. Display all the dept numbers available in emp and not in dept tables and vice versa.
25
Experiment No: 5
Objective :
To implement different types of joins
Theory :
The SQL Joins clause is used to combine records from two or more tables in a
database. A JOIN is a means for combining fields from two tables by using values common
to each.The join is actually performed by the ‘where’ clause which combines specified rows
of tables.
Syntax:
SELECT column 1, column 2, column 3...
FROM table_name1, table_name2
WHERE table_name1.column name = table_name2.columnname;
Types of Joins :
1. Simple Join
2. Self Join
3. Outer Join
Simple Join:
It is the most common type of join. It retrieves the rows from 2 tables having a
common column and is further classified into
Equi-join :
A join, which is based on equalities, is called equi-join.
Example:
Select * from item, cust where item.id=cust.id;
In the above statement, item-id = cust-id performs the join statement. It retrieves rows
from both the tables provided they both have the same id as specified by the where clause.
Since the where clause uses the comparison operator (=) to perform a join, it is said to be
26
equijoin. It combines the matched rows of tables. It can be used as follows:
Non Equi-join:
It specifies the relationship between columns belonging to different tables by
making use of relational operators other than’=’.
Example:
Select * from item, cust where item.id<cust.id;
Table Aliases
Table aliases are used to make multiple table queries shorted and more readable. We give
an alias name to the table in the ‘from’ clause and use it instead of the name throughout
the query.
Self join:
Joining of a table to itself is known as self-join. It joins one row in a table to another.
It can compare each row of the table to itself and also with other rows of the same table.
Example:
select * from emp x ,emp y where x.salary >= (select avg(salary) from x.emp
where x. deptno =y.deptno);
Outer Join:
It extends the result of a simple join. An outer join returns all the rows returned by simple
join as well as those rows from one table that do not match any row from the table. The
symbol(+) represents outer join.
27
LAB PRACTICE ASSIGNMENT:

7. Find the name and the age of the youngest sailor.
8. Count the number of different sailor names.
9. Find the average age of sailors for each rating level.
10. Find the average age of sailors for each rating level that has at least two sailors.
28
Experiment No: 6
Objective:
To learn the concept of group functions
Theory:
GROUP BY: This query is used to group to all the records in a relation together for each
and every value of a specific key(s) and then display them for a selected set of fields the
relation.
GROUP BY-HAVING : The HAVING clause was added to SQL because the WHERE
keyword could not be used with aggregate functions. The HAVING clause must follow the
GROUP BY clause in a query and must also precede the ORDER BY clause if used.
29
Example : SELECT Employees.LastName, COUNT(Orders.OrderID) AS NumberOfOrders
FROM (Orders
INNER JOIN Employees
ON Orders.EmployeeID=Employees.EmployeeID) GROUP BY LastName
HAVING COUNT (Orders.OrderID) > 10;
JOIN using GROUP BY: This query is used to display a set of fields from two relations by
matching a common field in them and also group the corresponding records for each and
every value of a specified key(s) while displaying.
ORDER BY: This query is used to display a selected set of fields from a relation in an
ordered manner base on some field.
Example: SQL> SELECT empno, ename, job FROM emp ORDER BY job;
JOIN using ORDER BY: This query is used to display a set of fields from two relations by
matching a common field in them in an ordered manner based on some fields.
Syntax: SELECT <set of fields (from both relations)> FROM relation_1, relation_2
WHERE relation_1.field_x = relation_2.field_y ORDER BY field_z;
Example: SQL> SELECT empno,ename,job,dname FROM emp,dept
WHERE emp.deptno = 20 ORDER BY job;
30
INDEXING: An index is an ordered set of pointers to the data in a table. It is based on
the data values in one or more columns of the table. SQL Base stores indexes separately
from tables.
An index provides two benefits:
It improves performance because it makes data access faster.
It ensures uniqueness. A table with a unique index cannot have two rows with
the same values in the column or columns that form the index key.
Syntax:
CREATE INDEX <index_name> on <table_name> (attrib1,attrib 2….attrib n);
Example:
CREATE INDEX id1 on emp(empno,dept_no);
31
Experiment No: 7
Objective:
Theory:
SUBQUERIES: The query within another is known as a sub query. A statement
containing sub query is called parent statement. The rows returned by sub query are
used by the parent statement or in other words A subquery is a SELECT statement that is
embedded in a clause of another SELECT statement
You can place the subquery in a number of SQL clauses:
WHERE clause
HAVING clause
FROM clause
OPERATORS( IN.ANY,ALL,<,>,>=,<= etc..)
Types
1. Sub queries that return several values
Sub queries can also return more than one value. Such results should be made use
along with the operators in and any.
2. Multiple queries
Here more than one sub query is used. These multiple sub queries are combined by
means of ‘and’ & ‘or’ keywords.
3. Correlated sub query
A sub query is evaluated once for the entire parent statement whereas a correlated
Sub query is evaluated once per row processed by the parent statement.
32
VIEW: In SQL, a view is a virtual table based on the result-set of an SQL statement.
A view contains rows and columns, just like a real table. The fields in a view are
fields from one or more real tables in the database.
You can add SQL functions, WHERE, and JOIN statements to a view and present the data as
if the data were coming from one single table.
A view is a virtual table, which consists of a set of columns from one or more tables. It is
similar to a table but it does not store in the database. View is a query stored as an object.
Example:
DROPPING A VIEW: A view can deleted with the DROP VIEW command.
33
LAB PRACTICE ASSIGNMENT:
1. Find all information of sailors who have reserved boat number 101.
2. Find the name of boat reserved by Bob.
3. Find the names of sailors who have reserved a red boat, and list in the order of age.
4. Find the names of sailors who have reserved at least one boat.
5. Find the ids and names of sailors who have reserved two different boats on the same
day.
6. Find the ids of sailors who have reserved a red boat or a green boat.
7. Find the name and the age of the youngest sailor.
8. Count the number of different sailor names.
9. Find the average age of sailors for each rating level.
10. Find the average age of sailors for each rating level that has at least two sailors.
34
Experiment No: 8
Objective:
To practice and implement constraints
Theory:
CONSTRAINTS:
Constraints are used to specify rules for the data in a table. If there is any violation between
the constraint and the data action, the action is aborted by the constraint. It can be specified
when the table is created (using CREATE TABLE statement) or after the table is created
(using ALTER TABLE statement).
1. NOT NULL: When a column is defined as NOTNULL, then that column becomes a
mandatory column. It implies that a value must be entered into the column if the record is to
be accepted for storage in the table.
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE Table_Name (column_name data_type (size) NOT NULL, );
Example:
CREATE TABLE student (sno NUMBER(3)NOT NULL, name CHAR(10));
2. UNIQUE: The purpose of a unique key is to ensure that information in the column(s) is
unique i.e. a value entered in column(s) defined in the unique constraint must not be repeated
across the column(s). A table may have many unique keys.
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE Table_Name(column_name data_type(size) UNIQUE, ….);
Example:
CREATE TABLE student (sno NUMBER(3) UNIQUE, name CHAR(10));
35
3. CHECK: Specifies a condition that each row in the table must satisfy. To satisfy the
constraint, each row in the table must make the condition either TRUE or unknown (due to a
null).
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE Table_Name(column_name data_type(size) CHECK(logical
expression), ….);
Example:
CREATE TABLE student (sno NUMBER (3), name CHAR(10),class
CHAR(5),CHECK(class IN(‘CSE’,’CAD’,’VLSI’));
5. FOREIGN KEY: It is a table level constraint. We cannot add this at column level. To
reference any primary key column from other table this constraint can be used. The table in
which the foreign key is defined is called a detail table. The table that defines the primary
key and is referenced by the foreign key is called the master table.
Syntax: CREATE TABLE Table_Name(column_name data_type(size)
FOREIGN KEY(column_name) REFERENCES table_name);
36
Example:
CREATE TABLE subject (scode NUMBER (3) PRIMARY KEY, subname
CHAR(10),fcode NUMBER(3), FOREIGN KEY(fcode) REFERENCE faculty );
(or)
6. DEFAULT : The DEFAULT constraint is used to insert a default value into a column. The
default value will be added to all new records, if no other value is specified.
Syntax:
CREATE TABLE Table_Name(col_name1,col_name2,col_name3
DEFAULT ‘<value>’);
Example:
CREATE TABLE student (sno NUMBER(3) UNIQUE, name CHAR(10),address
VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT ‘Aurangabad’);
37
LAB PRACTICE ASSIGNMENT:
Name Type
---------- ----------------------
EMPNO NUMBER (6)
ENAME VARCHAR2 (20)
JOB VARCHAR2 (10)
DEPTNO NUMBER (3)
SAL NUMBER (7,2)
Allow NULL for all columns except ename and job.
2. Add constraints to check, while entering the empno value (i.e) empno > 100.
3. Define the field DEPTNO as unique.
4. Create a primary key constraint for the table(EMPNO).
5. Write queries to implement and practice constraints.

Experiment No: 9
Title :
Study and Implementation of Database Backup & Recovery Commands.
Study and Implementation of Rollback, Commit, Save point.
Objective:
To understand the concept of administrative commands
Theory:
A transaction is a logical unit of work. All changes made to the database can be
referred to as a transaction. Transaction changes can be made permanent to the database only
if they are committed a transaction begins with an executable SQL statement & ends
explicitly with either rollback or commit statement.
1. COMMIT: This command is used to end a transaction only with the help of the commit
command transaction changes can be made permanent to the database.
2. SAVE POINT: Save points are like marks to divide a very lengthy transaction to smaller
once. They are used to identify a point in a transaction to which we can latter role back. Thus,
save point is used in conjunction with role back.
3. ROLLBACK: A role back command is used to undo the current transactions. We can role
back the entire transaction so that all changes made by SQL statements are undo (or) role
39
back a transaction to a save point so that the SQL statements after the save point are role
back.
40
Experiment No: 10
Objective:
To understand the concept of administrative commands
Theory:
DATABASE is collection of coherent data.
To create database we have :
Syntax: CREATE DATABASE <database_name>
Example : CREATE DATABASE my_db;
TABLESPACE:
The oracle database consists of one or more logical storage units called tablespaces. Each
tablespace in an Oracle database consists of one or more files called datafiles, which are
physical structures that confirm to the operating system in which Oracle is running.
Syntax:
CREATE<tablespace name> DATAFILE'C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\
server \<file name.dbf ’SIZE 50M;
Example:
Create tablespace te_cs DATAFILE 'C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\
server\usr.dbf ’SIZE 50M;
CREATE USER:
The DBA creates user by executing CREATE USER statement.
The user is someone who connects to the database if enough privilege is granted.
41
Syntax:
SQL> CREATE USER < username> -- (name of user to be created )
IDENTIFIED BY <password> -- (specifies that the user must
login with this password)
SQL> user created
Eg: create user James identified by bob;
(The user does not have privilege at this time, it has to be granted.These privileges determine
what user can do at database level.)
PRIVILEGES:
A privilege is a right to execute an SQL statement or to access another user's object.
In Oracle, there are two types of privileges
System Privileges
Object Privileges
System Privileges : are those through which the user can manage the performance of
database actions. It is normally granted by DBA to users.
Eg: Create Session,Create Table,Create user etc..
Object Privileges : allow access to objects or privileges on object, i.e. tables, table
columns. tables,views etc..It includes alter,delete,insert,select update etc.
(After creating the user, DBA grant specific system privileges to user)
GRANT:
The DBA uses the GRANT statement to allocate system privileges to other user.
Syntax:
SQL> GRANT privilege [privilege…. … ]
TO USER ;
SQL> Grant succeeded
Eg: Grant create session, create table, create view to James;
Object privileges vary from object to object.An owner has all privilege or specific privileges
on object.
SQL> GRANT object_priv [(column)]
ON object
42
TO user;
SQL>GRANT select, insert ON emp TO James;
SQL>GRANT select ,update (e_name,e_address)
ON emp TO James;
CHANGE PASSWORD:
The DBA creates an account and initializes a password for every user.You can change
password by using ALTER USER statement.
Syntax:
Alter USER <some user name>
IDENTIFIED BY<New password>
Eg: ALTER USER James
IDENTIFIED BY sam
