Book excerpt: Build a core level of competency in SQL so you can recognize the parts of queries and write simple SQL statements. SQL knowledge is essential for anyone involved in programming, data science, and data management. This book covers features of SQL that are standardized and common across most database vendors. You will gain a base of knowledge that will prepare you to go deeper into the specifics of any database product you might encounter. Examples in the book are worked in PostgreSQL and SQLite, but the bulk of the examples are platform agnostic and will work on any database platform supporting SQL. Early in the book you learn about table design, the importance of keys as row identifiers, and essential query operations. You then move into more advanced topics such as grouping and summarizing, creating calculated fields, joining data from multiple tables when it makes business sense to do so, and more. Throughout the book, you are exposed to a set-based approach to the language and are provided a good grounding in subtle but important topics such as the effects of null value on query results. With the explosion of data science, SQL has regained its prominence as a top skill to have for technologists and decision makers worldwide. SQL Primer will guide you from the very basics of SQL through to the mainstream features you need to have a solid, working knowledge of this important, data-oriented language. What You'll Learn Create and populate your own database tables Read SQL queries and understand what they are doing Execute queries that get correct results Bring together related rows from multiple tables Group and sort data in support of reporting applications Get a grip on nulls, normalization, and other key concepts Employ subqueries, unions, and other advanced features Who This Book Is For Anyone new to SQL who is looking for step-by-step guidance toward understanding and writing SQL queries. The book is aimed at those who encounter SQL statements often in their work, and provides a sound baseline useful across all SQL database systems. Programmers, database managers, data scientists, and business analysts all can benefit from the baseline of SQL knowledge provided in this book.

Download or read book Oracle SQL Tuning Pocket Reference written by Mark Gurry and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important challenges faced by Oracle database administrators and Oracle developers is the need to tune SQL statements so that they execute efficiently. Poorly tuned SQL statements are one of the leading causes of substandard database performance and poor response time. SQL statements that perform poorly result in frustration for users, and can even prevent a company from serving its customers in a timely manner. In this book, Mark Gurry shares his in-depth knowledge of Oracle's SQL statement optimizers. Mark's knowledge is the result of many hard-fought tuning battles during his many years of providing Oracle tuning services to clients. Mark provides insights into the workings of the rule-based optimizer that go well beyond what the rules tell you. Mark also provides solutions to many common problems that occur with both the rule-based and cost-based optimizers. In addition to the specific problem/solution scenarios for the optimizers, Mark provides a number of handy SQL tuning tips. He discusses the various optimizer hints, telling you when they can be used to good effect. Finally, Mark discusses the use of the DBMS_STATS package to manage database statistics, and the use of outlines to specify execution plans for SQL statements in third-party applications that you can't otherwise modify.

Download or read book Structured Query Language SQL written by Akeel I. Din and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1994 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Structured Query Language, SQL, has emerged in recent years as the standard query language used with relational databases. The SQL language has gained ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and ISO (International Standards Organisation) certification and a version of SQL is available for almost any computer system, from a Cray supercomputer to a PC. There is now a growing need for a clear, basic introduction to SQL and its applications. The author sets the scene with an introduction to relational databases and a brief history of the development of SQL. The language is then presented in an overview chapter which describes the functions of the major SQL commands and gives the reader an idea of the power of the language in creating, populating, querying and modifying database tables. Later chapters focus on explaining each of the SQL command groups more fully. The order of topics is carefully chosen as many SQL commands build upon others.
