13. Filtering Results

Image
By

WHERE and HAVING are filters. They specify a series of search conditions, and only those rows that meet the terms of the search conditions are used to build the result set.

Where

SELECT*FROM Customers
WHERECustomerID=1;

GROUP BY

The GROUP BY statement is used in conjunction with the aggregate functions to group the result-set by one or more columns.

SELECTcolumn_name,aggregate_function(column_name)
FROMtable_name
WHEREcolumn_name operator value
GROUPBYcolumn_name;

§ Example
SELECTShippers.ShipperName,COUNT(Orders.OrderID)ASNumberOfOrdersFROM Orders
LEFTJOIN Shippers
ONOrders.ShipperID=Shippers.ShipperID
GROUPBYShipperName;

Having

§ The HAVING clause is typically used together with the GROUP BY clause to filter the results of aggregate values.
§ The HAVING clause was added to SQL because the WHERE keyword could not be used with aggregate functions.
SELECTcolumn_name,aggregate_function(column_name)
FROMtable_name
WHEREcolumn_name operator value
GROUPBYcolumn_name
HAVINGaggregate_function(column_name) operator value;

§ Example
SELECTEmployees.LastName,COUNT(Orders.OrderID)ASNumberOfOrdersFROM (Orders
INNERJOIN Employees
ONOrders.EmployeeID=Employees.EmployeeID)
GROUPBYLastName
HAVINGCOUNT(Orders.OrderID)> 10;

5. INDEX

By
§ Indexes are special lookup tables that the database search engine can use to speed up data retrieval. § An index can be created in a table to find data more quickly and efficiently. § An index helps speed up SELECT queries and WHERE clauses, but it slows down data input, with UPDATE and INSERT statements. § Indexes can be created or dropped with no effect on the data. § Updating a table with indexes takes more time than updating a table without (because the indexes also need an update). Clustered indexes § Uses physical memory. § Easy to retrieve data. § Data is in stored form. Non-clustered indexes § No use of physical memory is needed. § More complicated, data retrieval is not that easy. § We can too createuniqueindex . Duplicate values are not allowed . CREATEINDEX index_name ON table_name ( column_name ) CREATEINDEX index_name ON table_name ( column_name ) CREATEINDEX Pindex Difference between clustered index and no...

6. VIEW

By
§ A view is a virtual table. § Database views are created using the CREATE VIEW statement. § Views can be created from a single table, multiple tables, or another view. § When we update a view it will update underline base table. CREATEVIEW view_name AS SELECT column1 , column2 ..... FROM table_name WHERE [condition] Example : CREATEVIEW CUSTOMERS_VIEW AS SELECT name , age FROM   CUSTOMERS SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS_VIEW                        Advantages § Reduce complexity of database schema. § Mechanism to implement row and column level security. § Represent aggregate data and hide detailed data. Limitations § Cannot pass parameter to view. § Rules and default cannot be associated with the view. § Order by clause is invalid in a view unless TOP or XML is also specified. § Cannot be created on the bases of temporary tables. Indexed View § Create u...

15. Aggregate Functions

By
SQL has many built-in functions for performing calculations on data. Aggregate Functions AVG() Function The AVG() function returns the average value of a numeric column. § Syntax SELECT AVG ( column_name ) FROM table_name § Example SQL statement gets the average value of the "Price" column from the "Products" table: SELECT AVG ( Price ) AS PriceAverage FROM Products SQL statement selects the "ProductName" and "Price" records that have an above average price: SELECT ProductName , Price FROM Products WHERE Price >( SELECT AVG ( Price ) FROM Products ); COUNT() Function The COUNT() function returns the number of rows that matches a specified criteria.The COUNT(column_name) function returns the number of values (NULL values will not be counted) of the specified column: § Syntax SELECT COUNT ( column_name ) FROM table_name ; MAX() Function The MAX() function returns the largest value of the s...
