Quick review of SQL
And conversion to Oracle SQL
Assuming…
• You know how to model data using
– An ER diagram
– A class diagram
• You know how to translate entityrelationship models into:
– Tables
– With constraints
SQL
• Structured Query Language
• Made up of the following components:
–
–
–
–
Data Manipulation Language (DML)
Data Definition Language (DDL)
Transaction control
Data Control Language (DCL)
• Oracle SQL complies with the core ANSI/ISO
standard for SQL:2003, but is not completely
compliant.
• It also has extensions, that are not compliant, so
are not portable to non-Oracle databases.
DML

SELECT
INSERT
UPDATE
DELETE
DDL
• CREATE
• ALTER
• DROP
– Any object in the database.
• TRUNCATE
– Deletes all rows in a table.

• COMMIT
• ROLLBACK
Data Control Language
