MYSQL

SQL is the standard language for dealing with Relational Databases. SQL is used to insert, search, update, and delete database records.

Reactjs

Features of React.js: There are unique features are available on React because that it is widely popular.

  • Use sql: It is faster than normal JavaScript as it performs optimizations while translating to regular JavaScript. It makes it easier for us to create templates.
  • Virtual DOM: Virtual DOM exists which is like a lightweight copy of the actual DOM. So for every object that exists in the original DOM, there is an object for that in React Virtual DOM. It is exactly the same, but it does not have the power to directly change the layout of the document. Manipulating DOM is slow, but manipulating Virtual DOM is fast as nothing gets drawn on the screen.
  • One-way Data Binding: This feature gives you better control over your application.
  • Component: A Component is one of the core building blocks of React. In other words, we can say that every application you will develop in React will be made up of pieces called components. Components make the task of building UIs much easier. You can see a UI broken down into multiple individual pieces called components and work on them independently and merge them all in a parent component which will be your final UI.
  • Performance: React.js use sql, which is faster compared to normal JavaScript and HTML. Virtual DOM is a less time taking procedure to update webpages content.

  1. SELECT Statement
    SELECT Statement
    The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database.
    The data returned is stored in a result table, called the result-set.
                    
                        SELECT column1, column2, ...
                        FROM table_name;
                    
                

    select all the fields available in the table

                    
                        SELECT * FROM table_name;
                    
                
  2. SELECT DISTINCT Statement
    SELECT DISTINCT Statement
    The SELECT DISTINCT statement is used to return only distinct (different) values.
    Inside a table, a column often contains many duplicate values; and sometimes you only want to list the different (distinct) values
                                          SELECT DISTINCT column1, column2, ...
                                            FROM table_name;
                                            
            
  3. For counts of unique entry
                     SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Country) FROM Custome
            
  4. WHERE Clause
    WHERE Clause
    The WHERE clause is used to filter records.
    It is used to extract only those records that fulfill a specified condition.
        
            SELECT column1, column2, ...
            FROM table_name
            WHERE condition;
    
    
  5. Operators in The WHERE Clause
    Operators in The WHERE Clause
    Operator Description
    = Equal
    > Greater than
    < Less than
    >= Greater than or equal
    <= Less than or equal
    <> Not equal. Note: In some versions of SQL this operator may be written as !=
    BETWEEN Between a certain range
    LIKE Search for a pattern
    IN To specify multiple possible values for a column
  6. AND, OR and NOT Operators
    AND, OR and NOT Operators
    TThe WHERE clause can be combined with AND, OR, and NOT operators.
    The AND and OR operators are used to filter records based on more than one condition:
    1. The AND operator displays a record if all the conditions separated by AND are TRUE.
    2. The OR operator displays a record if any of the conditions separated by OR is TRUE.
    3. The NOT operator displays a record if the condition(s) is NOT TRUE.

    AND Operator

        
            SELECT column1, column2, ...
            FROM table_name
            WHERE condition1 AND condition2 AND condition3 ...;
    
    

    OR Operator

        
            SELECT column1, column2, ...
    FROM table_name
    WHERE condition1 OR condition2 OR condition3 ...;
    
    

    NOT Operator

        
            SELECT column1, column2, ...
    FROM table_name
    WHERE NOT condition;
    
    
  7. ORDER BY Keyword
    ORDER BY Keyword
    The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the result-set in ascending or descending order.
    The ORDER BY keyword sorts the records in ascending order by default. To sort the records in descending order, use the DESC keyword.
        
            SELECT column1, column2, ...
            FROM table_name
            ORDER BY column1, column2, ... ASC|DESC;
    
    
  8. INSERT INTO Statement
    INSERT INTO Statement
    INSERT INTO statement is used to insert new records in a table.
    It is possible to write the INSERT INTO statement in two ways:

    1. Specify both the column names and the values to be inserted:
    2. If you are adding values for all the columns of the table, you do not need to specify the column names in the SQL query. However, make sure the order of the values is in the same order as the columns in the table.
        
            INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3, ...)
    VALUES (value1, value2, value3, ...);
    
    
        
            INSERT INTO table_name
    VALUES (value1, value2, value3, ...);
    
    
  9. NULL Value
    Null value
    A field with a NULL value is a field with no value.
    If a field in a table is optional, it is possible to insert a new record or update a record without adding a value to this field. Then, the field will be saved with a NULL value.
    Note: A NULL value is different from a zero value or a field that contains spaces. A field with a NULL value is one that has been left blank during record creation!

    How to Test for NULL Values?
    It is not possible to test for NULL values with comparison operators, such as =, <, or <>.
    We will have to use the IS NULL and IS NOT NULL operators instead.

    IS NULL Syntax

        
            SELECT column_names
    FROM table_name
    WHERE column_name IS NULL;
    
    

    IS NOT NULL Syntax/h3>
        
            SELECT column_names
    FROM table_name
    WHERE column_name IS NOT NULL;
    
    

  10. UPDATE Statement
    UPDATE Statement
    The UPDATE statement is used to modify the existing records in a table. Notice the WHERE clause in the UPDATE statement.
    The WHERE clause specifies which record(s) that should be updated. If you omit the WHERE clause, all records in the table will be updated!
        
            UPDATE table_name
            SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2, ...
            WHERE condition;
    
    
  11. DELETE Statement
    DELETE Statement
    The DELETE statement is used to delete existing records in a table.
    The WHERE clause specifies which record(s) should be deleted. If you omit the WHERE clause, all records in the table will be deleted!
        
            DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;
    
    

    Delete all rows in a table without deleting the table

        
            DELETE FROM table_name;
    
    
  12. LIMIT Clause
    LIMIT Clause
    The LIMIT clause is used to specify the number of records to return.
    The LIMIT clause is useful on large tables with thousands of records. Returning a large number of records can impact performance.
        
            SELECT column_name(s)
    FROM table_name
    WHERE condition
    LIMIT number;
    
    
  13. MIN() and MAX() Functions
    MIN() and MAX() Functions
    The LIMIT clause is used to specify the number of records to return.
    The LIMIT clause is useful on large tables with thousands of records. Returning a large number of records can impact performance.

    MIN() Syntax

        
            SELECT MIN(column_name)
    FROM table_name
    WHERE condition;
    
    
        
            SELECT MIN(Price) AS SmallestPrice
    FROM Products;
    
    

    MAX() Syntax

        
            SELECT MAX(column_name)
    FROM table_name
    WHERE condition;
    
    
        
            SELECT MAX(Price) AS LargestPrice
            FROM Products;
    
    
  14. COUNT()
    COUNT()
    The COUNT() function returns the number of rows that matches a specified criterion.
    
        SELECT COUNT(column_name)
        FROM table_name
        WHERE condition;
    
    
  15. AVG()
    AVG()
    The AVG() function returns the average value of a numeric column.
    
        SELECT AVG(column_name)
    FROM table_name
    WHERE condition;
    
    
  16. SUM()
    SUM()
    The SUM() function returns the total sum of a numeric column.
    
        SELECT SUM(column_name)
    FROM table_name
    WHERE condition;
    
    
  17. LIKE Operator
    LIKE Operator
    The LIKE operator is used in a WHERE clause to search for a specified pattern in a column.
    There are two wildcards often used in conjunction with the LIKE operator:
    1. The percent sign (%) represents zero, one, or multiple characters
    2. The underscore sign (_) represents one, single character
    3. The percent sign and the underscore can also be used in combinations!

    Tip: You can also combine any number of conditions using AND or OR operators.
    LIKE Operator Description
    WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%' Finds any values that start with "a"
    WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%a' Finds any values that end with "a"
    WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%or%' Finds any values that have "or" in any position
    WHERE CustomerName LIKE '_r%' Finds any values that have "r" in the second position
    WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a_%' Finds any values that start with "a" and are at least 2 characters in length
    WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a__%' Finds any values that start with "a" and are at least 3 characters in length
    WHERE ContactName LIKE 'a%o' Finds any values that start with "a" and ends with "o"
    
        SELECT column1, column2, ...
        FROM table_name
        WHERE columnN LIKE pattern;
    
    
        
            SELECT * FROM Customers
            WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%';
        
        
  18. Wildcard Characters
    Wildcard Characters
    A wildcard character is used to substitute one or more characters in a string.
    Wildcard characters are used with the LIKE operator. The LIKE operator is used in a WHERE clause to search for a specified pattern in a column.
    Symbol Description Example
    % Represents zero or more characters bl% finds bl, black, blue, and blob
    _ Represents a single character h_t finds hot, hat, and hit
    
        SELECT * FROM Customers
    WHERE City LIKE '%es%';
    
    
        
            SELECT * FROM Customers
    WHERE City LIKE 'L_n_on';
        
        
  19. IN Operator
    IN Operator
    The IN operator allows you to specify multiple values in a WHERE clause.
    The IN operator is a shorthand for multiple OR conditions.
    
        SELECT column_name(s)
        FROM table_name
        WHERE column_name IN (value1, value2, ...);
    
    
        
            SELECT column_name(s)
    FROM table_name
    WHERE column_name IN (SELECT STATEMENT);
        
        
  20. BETWEEN Operator
    BETWEEN Operator
    The BETWEEN operator selects values within a given range. The values can be numbers, text, or dates.
    The BETWEEN operator is inclusive: begin and end values are included.
    
        SELECT column_name(s)
    FROM table_name
    WHERE column_name BETWEEN value1 AND value2;
    
    
  21. Aliases
    Aliases
    • Aliases are used to give a table, or a column in a table, a temporary name.
    • Aliases are often used to make column names more readable.
    • An alias only exists for the duration of that query.
    • An alias is created with the AS keyword.

    Note: Single or double quotation marks are required if the alias name contains spaces
                    
    SELECT CustomerName AS Customer, 
    ContactName AS "Contact Person"
    FROM Customers;
                    
                    

    Alias Column Syntax

    
        SELECT column_name AS alias_name
    FROM table_name;
    
    

    Alias Table Syntax

        
            SELECT column_name(s)
    FROM table_name AS alias_name;
        
        
  22. Joining Tables
    Joining Tables
    A JOIN clause is used to combine rows from two or more tables, based on a related column between them.
    Supported Types of Joins in MySQL:
    • INNER JOIN: Returns records that have matching values in both tables
    • LEFT JOIN: Returns all records from the left table, and the matched records from the right table
    • RIGHT JOIN: Returns all records from the right table, and the matched records from the left table
    • CROSS JOIN: Returns all records from both tables Note: CROSS JOIN can potentially return very large result-sets!
    • Self Join: A self join is a regular join, but the table is joined with itself. Note:T1 and T2 are different table aliases for the same table.

    INNER JOIN Syntax

    
        SELECT column_name(s)
    FROM table1
    INNER JOIN table2
    ON table1.column_name = table2.column_name;
    
    

    LEFT JOIN Syntax

        
            SELECT column_name(s)
    FROM table1
    LEFT JOIN table2
    ON table1.column_name = table2.column_name;
        
        

    RIGHT JOIN Syntax

            
                SELECT column_name(s)
    FROM table1
    RIGHT JOIN table2
    ON table1.column_name = table2.column_name;
            
            

    CROSS JOIN Syntax

                
                    SELECT column_name(s)
    FROM table1
    CROSS JOIN table2;
                
                

    Self Join Syntax

                    
                        SELECT column_name(s)
                        FROM table1 T1, table1 T2
                        WHERE condition;
                    
                    
  23. UNION Operator
    UNION Operator
    The UNION operator is used to combine the result-set of two or more SELECT statements.
    • Every SELECT statement within UNION must have the same number of columns
    • The columns must also have similar data types
    • The columns in every SELECT statement must also be in the same order

    Note: The column names in the result-set are usually equal to the column names in the first SELECT statement.

    The UNION operator selects only distinct values by default. To allow duplicate values, use UNION ALL

    UNION Syntax

                        
                            SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1
                            UNION
                            SELECT column_name(s) FROM table2;
                        
                        

    UNION ALL Syntax

        
            SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1
            UNION ALL
            SELECT column_name(s) FROM table2;
        
        
  24. GROUP BY Statement
    GROUP BY Statement
    The GROUP BY statement groups rows that have the same values into summary rows, like "find the number of customers in each country".
    The GROUP BY statement is often used with aggregate functions (COUNT(), MAX(), MIN(), SUM(), AVG()) to group the result-set by one or more columns.

    GROUP BY Syntax

                        
                            SELECT column_name(s)
    FROM table_name
    WHERE condition
    GROUP BY column_name(s)
    ORDER BY column_name(s);
                        
                        

    Example:

        
            SELECT COUNT(CustomerID), Country
    FROM Customers
    GROUP BY Country;
        
        
  25. HAVING Clause
    HAVING Clause
    The HAVING clause was added to SQL because the WHERE keyword cannot be used with aggregate functions.

    HAVING Syntax

                        
                            SELECT column_name(s)
                            FROM table_name
                            WHERE condition
                            GROUP BY column_name(s)
                            HAVING condition
                            ORDER BY column_name(s);
                        
                        

    Example:

        
            SELECT COUNT(CustomerID), Country
    FROM Customers
    GROUP BY Country
    HAVING COUNT(CustomerID) > 5;
        
        
  26. EXISTS Operator
    EXISTS Operator
    The EXISTS operator is used to test for the existence of any record in a subquery.
    The EXISTS operator returns TRUE if the subquery returns one or more records.

    EXISTS Syntax

                        
                            SELECT column_name(s)
                            FROM table_name
                            WHERE EXISTS
                            (SELECT column_name FROM table_name WHERE condition);
                        
                        

    Example:

        
            SELECT SupplierName
    FROM Suppliers
    WHERE EXISTS (SELECT ProductName FROM Products WHERE Products.SupplierID = Suppliers.supplierID AND Price < 20);
        
        
  27. ANY Operator
    ANY Operator
    The ANY operator:
    • returns a boolean value as a result
    • returns TRUE if ANY of the subquery values meet the condition
    • ANY means that the condition will be true if the operation is true for any of the values in the range.

    Note: The operator must be a standard comparison operator (=, <>, !=, >, >=, <, or <=).

    ANY Syntax

                        
                            SELECT column_name(s)
                            FROM table_name
                            WHERE column_name operator ANY
                              (SELECT column_name
                              FROM table_name
                              WHERE condition);
                        
                        

    Example:

        
            SELECT COUNT(CustomerID), Country
    FROM Customers
    GROUP BY Country
    HAVING COUNT(CustomerID) > 5;
        
        
  28. ALL Operator
    ALL Operator
    The ALL operator:
    • returns a boolean value as a result
    • returns TRUE if ALL of the subquery values meet the condition
    • is used with SELECT, WHERE and HAVING statements

    ALL means that the condition will be true only if the operation is true for all values in the range.

    Note: The operator must be a standard comparison operator (=, <>, !=, >, >=, <, or <=).

    ALL Syntax With SELECT

                        
                            SELECT ALL column_name(s)
    FROM table_name
    WHERE condition;
                        
                        

    ALL Syntax With WHERE or HAVING

                            
                                SELECT column_name(s)
                                FROM table_name
                                WHERE column_name operator ALL
                                  (SELECT column_name
                                  FROM table_name
                                  WHERE condition);
                            
                            

    Example:

        
            SELECT COUNT(CustomerID), Country
    FROM Customers
    GROUP BY Country
    HAVING COUNT(CustomerID) > 5;
        
        
  29. INSERT INTO SELECT Statement
    INSERT INTO SELECT Statement
    The INSERT INTO SELECT statement copies data from one table and inserts it into another table.

    The INSERT INTO SELECT statement requires that the data types in source and target tables matches.

    Note: The existing records in the target table are unaffected.

    INSERT INTO SELECT Syntax(Copy all columns from one table to another table)

                        
                            INSERT INTO table2
                            SELECT * FROM table1
                            WHERE condition;
                        
                        

    Copy only some columns from one table into another table

        
            INSERT INTO table2 (column1, column2, column3, ...)
            SELECT column1, column2, column3, ...
            FROM table1
            WHERE condition;
        
        
  30. CASE Statement
    CASE Statement
    The CASE statement goes through conditions and returns a value when the first condition is met (like an if-then-else statement). So, once a condition is true, it will stop reading and return the result. If no conditions are true, it returns the value in the ELSE clause.

    If there is no ELSE part and no conditions are true, it returns NULL.

    CASE Syntax

                        
                            CASE
        WHEN condition1 THEN result1
        WHEN condition2 THEN result2
        WHEN conditionN THEN resultN
        ELSE result
    END;
                        
                        

    Example:

        
            SELECT OrderID, Quantity,
    CASE
        WHEN Quantity > 30 THEN 'The quantity is greater than 30'
        WHEN Quantity = 30 THEN 'The quantity is 30'
        ELSE 'The quantity is under 30'
    END AS QuantityText
    FROM OrderDetails;
        
        
  31. IFNULL()
    CASE Statement
    The MySQL IFNULL() function lets you return an alternative value if an expression is NULL.

    CASE Syntax

                        
                            CASE
        WHEN condition1 THEN result1
        WHEN condition2 THEN result2
        WHEN conditionN THEN resultN
        ELSE result
    END;
                        
                        

    Example:

        
            SELECT OrderID, Quantity,
    CASE
        WHEN Quantity > 30 THEN 'The quantity is greater than 30'
        WHEN Quantity = 30 THEN 'The quantity is 30'
        ELSE 'The quantity is under 30'
    END AS QuantityText
    FROM OrderDetails;

                            CASE
                            SELECT ProductName, UnitPrice * (UnitsInStock + COALESCE(UnitsOnOrder, 0))
                            FROM Products;
                        
                        
  33. MySQL Comments
    MySQL Comments
    Comments are used to explain sections of SQL statements, or to prevent execution of SQL statements.
    • Single Line Comments:Single line comments start with --.
      Any text between -- and the end of the line will be ignored (will not be executed).
    • Multi-line Comments: Multi-line comments start with /* and end with */.
      Any text between /* and */ will be ignored.

    Single Line Comments

                               ....
                            );
                        
                        
  39. Create Table Using Another Table
    Create Table Using Another Table
    A copy of an existing table can also be created using CREATE TABLE.
    The new table gets the same column definitions. All columns or specific columns can be selected.
    If you create a new table using an existing table, the new table will be filled with the existing values from the old table.
                        
                            CREATE TABLE new_table_name AS
                            SELECT column1, column2,...

  41. MySQL Constraints
    MySQL Constraints
    SQL constraints are used to specify rules for the data in a table.
    Constraints are used to limit the type of data that can go into a table. This ensures the accuracy and reliability of the data in the table. If there is any violation between the constraint and the data action, the action is aborted.
    Constraints can be column level or table level. Column level constraints apply to a column, and table level constraints apply to the whole table.
    The following constraints are commonly used in SQL:
    • NOT NULL - Ensures that a column cannot have a NULL value
    • UNIQUE - Ensures that all values in a column are different
    • PRIMARY KEY - A combination of a NOT NULL and UNIQUE. Uniquely identifies each row in a table
    • FOREIGN KEY - Prevents actions that would destroy links between tables
    • CHECK - Ensures that the values in a column satisfies a specific condition
    • DEFAULT - Sets a default value for a column if no value is specified
    • CREATE INDEX - Used to create and retrieve data from the database very quickly
  42. NOT NULL Constraint
    NOT NULL Constraint
    By default, a column can hold NULL values.
    The NOT NULL constraint enforces a column to NOT accept NULL values.
    This enforces a field to always contain a value, which means that you cannot insert a new record, or update a record without adding a value to this field.
                                    
                                        CREATE TABLE Persons (
                                            ID int NOT NULL,
                                            LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
                                            FirstName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
                                            Age int
                                        );
                                    
                                    
  43. UNIQUE Constraint
    UNIQUE Constraint
    The UNIQUE constraint ensures that all values in a column are different.
    Both the UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints provide a guarantee for uniqueness for a column or set of columns.
    A PRIMARY KEY constraint automatically has a UNIQUE constraint.
    However, you can have many UNIQUE constraints per table, but only one PRIMARY KEY constraint per table.
                                            
                                                CREATE TABLE Persons (
        ID int NOT NULL,
        LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
        FirstName varchar(255),
        Age int,
        UNIQUE (ID)
    );
                                            
                                            
  44. PRIMARY KEY Constraint
    PRIMARY KEY Constraint
    The PRIMARY KEY constraint uniquely identifies each record in a table.
    Primary keys must contain UNIQUE values, and cannot contain NULL values.
    A table can have only ONE primary key; and in the table, this primary key can consist of single or multiple columns (fields).
                                        
                                            CREATE TABLE Persons (
        ID int NOT NULL,
        LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
        FirstName varchar(255),
        Age int,
        PRIMARY KEY (ID)
    );
                                        
                                        
  45. FOREIGN KEY Constraint
    FOREIGN KEY Constraint
    The FOREIGN KEY constraint is used to prevent actions that would destroy links between tables.
    A FOREIGN KEY is a field (or collection of fields) in one table, that refers to the PRIMARY KEY in another table.
    The table with the foreign key is called the child table, and the table with the primary key is called the referenced or parent table.
                                    
                                        CREATE TABLE Orders (
                                            OrderID int NOT NULL,
                                            OrderNumber int NOT NULL,
                                            PersonID int,
                                            PRIMARY KEY (OrderID),
                                            FOREIGN KEY (PersonID) REFERENCES Persons(PersonID)
                                        );
                                    
                                    
  46. CHECK Constraint
    CHECK Constraint
    The CHECK constraint is used to limit the value range that can be placed in a column.
    If you define a CHECK constraint on a column it will allow only certain values for this column.
    If you define a CHECK constraint on a table it can limit the values in certain columns based on values in other columns in the row.
                                
                                    CREATE TABLE Persons (
                                        ID int NOT NULL,
                                        LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
                                        FirstName varchar(255),
                                        Age int,
                                        CHECK (Age>=18)
                                    );
                                
                                
  47. DEFAULT Constraint
    DEFAULT Constraint
    The DEFAULT constraint is used to set a default value for a column.
    The default value will be added to all new records, if no other value is specified.
                            
                                CREATE TABLE Persons (
                                    ID int NOT NULL,
                                    LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
                                    FirstName varchar(255),
                                    Age int,
                                    City varchar(255) DEFAULT 'Sandnes'
                                );
                            
                            
  48. CREATE INDEX Statement
    CREATE INDEX Statement
    The CREATE INDEX statement is used to create indexes in tables.
    Indexes are used to retrieve data from the database more quickly than otherwise. The users cannot see the indexes, they are just used to speed up searches/queries.
    Note: Updating a table with indexes takes more time than updating a table without (because the indexes also need an update). So, only create indexes on columns that will be frequently searched against.
                            
                                CREATE INDEX index_name
                                ON table_name (column1, column2, ...);
                            
                            
  49. AUTO_INCREMENT Keyword
    AUTO_INCREMENT Keyword
    MySQL uses the AUTO_INCREMENT keyword to perform an auto-increment feature.
    By default, the starting value for AUTO_INCREMENT is 1, and it will increment by 1 for each new record.
                            
                                CREATE TABLE Persons (
                                    Personid int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
                                    LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,
                                    FirstName varchar(255),
                                    Age int,
                                    PRIMARY KEY (Personid)
                                );
                            
                            
  50. Date Data Types
    Date Data Types
    MySQL comes with the following data types for storing a date or a date/time value in the database:
    DATE - format YYYY-MM-DD
    DATETIME - format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS
    TIMESTAMP - format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS
    YEAR - format YYYY or YY
    Note: The date data type are set for a column when you create a new table in your database!
                            
                                SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate='2008-11-11'
                            
                            
  51. CREATE VIEW Statement
    CREATE VIEW Statement
    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 statements and functions to a view and present the data as if the data were coming from one single table.
    A view is created with the CREATE VIEW statement.

    CREATE VIEW Syntax
