table.

3 important field properties are explained below:

a. Entry required: This can be set to Yes to ensure that field should not be left blank. It is
equivalent to not null constraint in SQL.

b. Length: It ensures that value with specified number of digits or letters is accepted. It is
equivalent to checking constraints in SQL.

It is equivalent to default constraint in SQL.

Q. 20 Discuss the significance of grouping data with an example.

Ans. Requirement of grouping the data is very common in real life and in day-to-day reporting. We

grouped together where there are certain changes in the values across the data for example
Classes and sections in schools, departments in a company, gender-wise customers, types of items
or objects, city-wise consumers, etc.

Group by clause of Data Manipulation Language part of SQL helps in grouping the data. For
example, to display Total Quantity of items in the stock in the following data we shall write the
query for Item table as shown below:

Item_Code                                        Sale_Date                                                        Sale_Qty

I001                                                    12/23/2023                                                     10

I002                                                    12/23/2023                                                     5

I001                                                    12/24/2023                                                     8

I002                                                    12/25/2023                                                     2

I001                                                    12/25/2023                                                     5

Query: select Item_Code, sum(Sale_Qty) as ‘Total Quantity’ from Item group by Item_Code

Output:

                              Item_Code          Total Quantity

                              I001                                     23
