Session 1: introduction to database and Generally
laboratory instruction
A. Introduction to database
This is a laboratory manual for the course Fundamentals of Database.
The content is organized into lessons corresponding to the lecture content
outlined on the curriculum. And the code in this manual is written (edited),
debug and Execute using Microsoft SQL server.

Database: a collection of Logical related data.it is a collection of table

Database Management Systems (DBMS): a computerized system that
system enables user to create and maintain a database.
The DBMS is a general-purpose software system that facilitate of defining,
constructing and sharing database users and applications.

DBMS Software
 Microsoft access
 Oracle
 PostgreSQL
 Dbase
 SQLite
 IBM DB2
 Maria DB
 Microsoft SQL server
 My SQL
In this manual we use software is Microsoft SQL Server

As a final notice, this manual is now ready to be given to the trainees

(students) to help them acquire the necessary skills and understandings,
and then lead them to the level that they would produce software-based
solutions to the miscellaneous societal problems we have today!

Installing SQL Server software
1. Run Setup.Exe to start the setup of SQL Server Software install,
if prompted, click Yes to allow this app to make changes to your
device.
2. Once the SQL Server Installation Center launches choose
Installation tab (second from the right).
3. In most cases you will want to run a New SQL Server New SQL
Server stand-alone installation, but other options are available,
for example if you have SQL Server 2014 installed, you have an
option to update.

Step 1: New SQL stand-alone installation

 opening Microsoft SQL server Software
To open SQL SSMS, use the following steps:
In window 7
1. Start  All Programs  Microsoft SQL server  SQL Server
Management Studio.
Other way in window 10
2. Start  All apps  Microsoft SQL server  SQL Server
Management Studio.

Click on Connect to your default instance as shown in the

following figure

Fig 1 connecting SQL server

Session 2 Data Definition language
 Used to define the database structure or Schema
 Allows the designers to specify datatype, structures and
constraints on the datatype to be stored in the database

CREATING, MODIFYING AND Dropping DATABASES

CREATING A DATABASE IN GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE

1. Start SQL Server Management Studio by selecting Start

Programs  Microsoft SQL server 2012 Management
Studio.
2. Click on Connect to your default instance of SQL Server as
in Figure 1.1
3. Open Query editor window
4. Expand your Databases folder.
5. Right-click either the Databases folder in the console tree or
the white space in the right pane, and choose New
Database from the context menu.
6. You should now see the General tab of the Database
properties sheet. Enter the database name, and
leave the owner as <default>.

CREATING A DATABASE IN TRANSACT SQL STATEMENT(T-SQL)

1. Start SQL Server Management Studio by selecting Start

Programs  Microsoft SQL server 2012 Management
Studio.
2. Click on Connect to your default instance of SQL Server as
in Figure 1.1
3. Open Query editor window as in Figure 2.1
4. Write the database creation statement
5. Execute the statement

Syntax: CREATE DATABASE database_name

database_name Is the name of the new database. Database names must be

unique within an instance of SQL Server

For example, to create a database with name ‘University, we write the following
statement:
CREATE DATABASE University
1. Expand your database Right Click on Tables and specify columns with their data types

9
 2.Enter database name Fig 2.3 create database by GUI
Syntax: create database database_name
CREATE DATABASE MAU_University

Fig 2.4 create database by T-SQL

MODIFYING A DATABASE
Syntax: create database database_name
ALTER DATABASE student MODIFY FILE (NAME = N'test', FILEGROWTH = 2048KB

Alter database database_name modify file (name=’new name’

filegrowth=2048 kb
Dropping A DATABASE

10
We can drop a database either by right clicking the database and
pressing Delete on the context menu or using the following Drop
Syntax: DROP DATABASE <databaseName>
Example: DROP DATABASE Mau_university

Session 3 DATA DEFINITION, CONSTRAINTS,AND SCHEMA CHANGES

CREATING, MODIFYING AND DELETING TABLES

table…………………………………….……relation
row……………………………………..…….tuple
column………………………………….……attribute
DATA TYPES
 Numeric: NUMBER, NUMBER(s,p), INTEGER, INT, FLOAT,
DECIMAL
 Character: CHAR(n), VARCHAR(n), VARCHAR2(n), CHAR
VARYING(n)
 Boolean: true, false, and null
 Date and Time: DATE (YYYY-MM-DD) TIME( HH:MM:SS)
 Timestamp: DATE + TIME
 USER Defined types

CREATE SCHEMA
Specifies a new database schema by giving it a name

Syntax: create schema Schema_Name

CREATE TABLE
Specifies a new data base relation by giving it a name, and
specifying each of its attributes and their data types
Syntax of CREATE Command:

11
 CREATE TABLE <table name> ( <Attribute A1> <Data Type D1>
[< Constraints>], <Attribute A2> <Data Type D2> [< Constraints>],
…….
<Attribute An> <Data Type Dn> [< Constraints>]);

DROP TABLE
 Used to remove a relation (base table) and its definition.
 The relation can no longer be used in queries, updates, or any other
commands since its description no longer exists
Syntax: DROP TABLE tabl_name;

DROP A COLUMN AN ATTRIBUTE

Syntax: DROP TABLE tabl_name DROP COLUMN COLUMN_NAME

Example: alter table grade_report drop column result

ALTER TABLE
 Used to add an attribute to/from one of the base relations drop
constraint -- The new attribute will have NULLs in all the tuples of the
relation right after the command is executed; hence, the NOT NULL
constraint is not allowed for such an attribute.
Syntax: ALTER TABLE tabl_name ADD COLUMN_NAME DATATYPE (SAIZE);
 The database users must still enter a value for the new attribute JOB
for each EMPLOYEE tuple.
This can be done using the UPDATE command.

Session 3 DATA MANIPULATION LANGUAGE (DML)

The Data Manipulation Language (DML) is used to retrieve, insert and
modify database information. These commands will be used by all
database users during the routine operation of the database. Let's take
a brief look at the basic DML commands:

12
INSERT UPDATE DELETE TABLES
1. INSERT INTO: This is used to add records into a relation.
These are three type of INSERT INTO queries which are as
a) Inserting a single record
Syntax: INSERT INTO < table name>
(field_1,field_2……field_n)VALUES
(data_1,data_2,........data_n);
Example: insert into school.departement(Did,Dname,Dlocation)
values('d01','Cscince','ethiopia');

b) Inserting a single record

Syntax: INSERT INTO < table name>VALUES
(data_1,data_2,........data_n); Example:
insert into school.departement values('d01','Cscince','ethiopia');

c) Inserting all records from another relation

Syntax: INSERT INTO relation_name_1 SELECT
Field_1,field_2,field_n FROM relation_name_2 WHERE
field_x=data;
Example: insert into school.departement SELECT Dname,Dlocation
FROM department WHERE NAME=’Almaz’;

2.UPDATE-SET-WHERE: This is used to update the content

of a record in a relation.
Syntax: UPDATE table_name SET
column_name1=data,column_name2=data, WHERE
column_name=data;
Example: UPDATE student SET sname = ‘Almaz’ WHERE
sno=1;

13
3. DELETE-FROM: This is used to delete all the records of a
relation but it will retain the structure of that relation.

a) DELETE-FROM: This is used to delete all the records of relation.

Syntax: SQL>DELETE FROM table_name;

Example: delete from student

b) DELETE -FROM-WHERE: This is used to delete a selecte record from
a relation.

Syntax: DELETE FROM relation_name WHERE condition;

Example: delete from student where sno=14
4.TRUNCATE: This command will remove the data permanently. But
structure will not be removed.
Difference between Truncate & Delete:-
 By using truncate command data will be removed permanently & will
not get back where as by using delete command data will be removed
temporally & get back by using roll back command.
 By using delete command data will be removed based on the
condition where as by using truncate command there is no condition.
 Truncate is a DDL command & delete is a DML command.

Syntax: TRUNCATE TABLE <Table name>

Example : TRUNCATE TABLE STUDENT

Session 4 Retrieve data from one or more tables.

1. SELECT FROM: To display all fields for all records.
Syntax : SELECT * FROM relation_name;

Example : select *from student

2. SELECT FROM: To display a set of fields for all records of relation.

Syntax: SELECT a set of fields FROM relation_name;

14
 Example: select FNAME,LNAME from student
3. SELECT - FROM -WHERE: This query is used to display a selected set
of fields for a selected set of records of a relation.
Syntax: SELECT a set of fields FROM relation_name WHERE condition;

Example: select * from student WHERE SNO=15
