Day 3 - Manage Database
What is Syntax?
SQL is followed by unique set of rules and guidelines called Syntax. This tutorial gives you a
quick start with SQL by listing all the basic SQL Syntax:

All the SQL statements start with any of the keywords like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE,
ALTER, DROP, CREATE, USE, SHOW

There is no case sensitive.

What is Database?
The data in RDBMS is stored in database objects called tables. The table is a collection of
related data entries and it consists of columns and rows.
Create Database
The SQL Create Database statement is used to create new SQL database.
Always database name should be unique within the RDBMS.
Make sure you have admin privilege before creating any database. Once a database is created,
you can check it in the list of databases.

Syntax:
CREATE DATABASE <DATABASE NAME>

Example:
CREATE DATABASE CMPortal
Alter Database
Modify existing database name from old name to new name.

Syntax:
ALTER DATABASE <OLD DATABASE NAME> MODIFY NAME = <NEW DATABASE NAME>

Example:
ALTER DATABASE CMPortal MODIFY NAME = SCCMPortal
Show Database
When you have multiple databases in your SQL schema, then before starting your operation,
you would need to select a database where all the operations would be performed.
Always database name should be unique within the RDBMS.

Syntax:
SELECT * FROM SYSDATABASES

Example:
SELECT * FROM SYSDATABASES
Select Database
When you have multiple databases in your SQL Schema, then before starting your operation,
you would need to select a database where all the operations would be performed.
The SQL USE statement is used to select any existing database in SQL schema.

Syntax:
USE <DATABASE NAME>

Example:
USE SCCMPortal
Drop Database
