To allow naming of a CHECK constraint, and for defining a CHECK constraint on multiple columns, use the following SQL syntax: CREATE TABLE Persons (ĬONSTRAINT CHK_Person CHECK (Age>=18 AND City='Sandnes') The CHECK constraint ensures that you can not have any person below 18 years. The following SQL creates a CHECK constraint on the “Age” column when the “Persons” table is created. 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. If you define a CHECK constraint on a single column it allows only certain values for this column. The CHECK constraint is used to limit the value range that can be placed in a column. Here is how you would add a column to a database: ALTER TABLE table_name CREATE TABLE table_name (ĪLTER TABLE changes the structure of a table. You can specify the name of the table and the columns that should be in the table. Boyce |ĬREATE TABLE does just what it sounds like: it creates a table in the database. | 7 | Edgar Frank 'Ted' | Codd | Edgar Frank 'Ted' Codd | | 6 | Sophie | Freeman | Sophie Freeman | | 3 | Spencer | Pautier | Spencer Pautier | | 2 | Teri | Gutierrez | Teri Gutierrez | | studentID | FirstName | LastName | FullName | SELECT studentID, FirstName, LastName, FirstName + ' ' + LastName AS FullNameįROM student +-+-+-+-+

We can combine the First and the Last name columns to create the FullName calculated column. The database stores the studentID, FirstName, and LastName of the student. The example below shows three columns SELECTed FROM the “student” table and one calculated column. There are also options you can apply to show data that is not a table column.

The SELECT part of a query determines which columns of the data to show in the results.

Here is a list of basic SQL commands (sometimes called clauses) you should know if you are going to work with SQL. SQL commands can be used to search the database and to do other functions like creating tables, adding data to tables, modifying data, and dropping tables. SQL commands are the instructions used to communicate with a database to perform tasks, functions, and queries with data. SQL stands for Structured Query Language.
