NEW FEATURES OF SQLSERVER 2012
Data: Data is the most important component in any work that we do; Data means collection of
information or collection of raw facts.
Ex:
1. Text files
2. Facts
3. Figures (photos)
4. Audios
5. Videos etc...
Database: collection of related data.
DBMS :( Database Management System)
Data Base Management System is the management system or maintenance system on databases.
(Or)
It is a suit of software program for creating, maintaining & manipulating the data in database.
(Or)
It allows the users to insert the data, to retrieve the data, to modify the data and to delete the
data.
Properties:
1. Create
2. Insert
3. Update
4. Delete
5. Select (query)
SQL Material
3
6. Low level security etc...
Ex: FoxPro, ims (information management system)
 The first databases of kind existed in the form of files.

 A file is nothing but collection of records.
 A Record is nothing but collection of information or data.
 But the file system was not very efficient .it was crippled by slow data search speed. It
includes the following Drawbacks.
1.Security
2.Data Redundancy
3.Data Integrity
4.Concurrency Control
5.Slow in Process
6. File system: in a dbms database, data must be stored in the form of files only
Note: basic property of file system is independent and individual, means each and every file is
unique AND relation is not possible between data files
7. Low level security, No Login name No Password.
RDBMS (Relational Database Management System):
 Data must be stored in the form of tables only

 Relation between Tables is possible
Table: It is collection of columns and rows, X axis directions are rows and Y axis directions are
columns
Relation: Creating internal dependencies between Database Tables
Ex of RDBMS:
1. Sqlserver
2. Oracle
3. Db2 (Database 2000, IBM)
4. Mysql (open source)
5. ms-access
6. Postgresql (open source)
7. Sybase
8. Tera data
Etc.....
Terminology:
SQL Material
4
1. Table -- Entity
2. Column (field) -- Attribute
3. Row (record) -- Tupple
4. Duplicate data (Repeated data) – Data Redundancy
Metadata: Data about data, it describes characteristics of data
Ex: Description of a table
Syn: sp_help <TN>
Ex: sp_help EMP
Note: <TN> stands for Table name
Data models:
1. Hierarchy data model

2. Network data model
3. Relational data model
Note: Currently all RDBMS Databases following RELATIONAL DATA MODEL
Adv of Relational Data model: s
 Relation
 Perfect solution for duplicate data and null values
 Normalization
Normalization: It is a process of eliminating duplicate data from the database.
EF CODD RULES:
Foundation Rule
A relational database management system must manage its stored data using only its relational
capabilities.
Information Rule
All information in the database should be represented in one and only one way - as values in a
table.
Guaranteed Access Rule

Each and every datum (atomic value) is guaranteed to be logically accessible by resorting to a
combination of table name, primary key value and column name.
SQL Material
5
Systematic Treatment of Null Values

Null values (distinct from empty character string or a string of blank characters and distinct from
zero or any other number) are supported in the fully relational DBMS for representing missing
information in a systematic way, independent of data type.
Dynamic On-line Catalog Based on the Relational Model

The database description is represented at the logical level in the same way as ordinary data, so
authorized users can apply the same relational language to its interrogation as they apply to
regular data.
Comprehensive Data Sublanguage Rule

A relational system may support several languages and various modes of terminal use. However,
there must be at least one language whose statements are expressible, per some well-defined
syntax, as character strings and whose ability to support all of the following is comprehensible:
a. data definition
b. view definition
c. data manipulation (interactive and by program)
d. integrity constraints
e. authorization
f. transaction boundaries (begin, commit, and rollback).
View Updating Rule

All views that are theoretically updateable are also updateable by the system.
High-level Insert, Update, and Delete

The capability of handling a base relation or a derived relation as a single operand applies nor
only to the retrieval of data but also to the insertion, update, and deletion of data.
Physical Data Independence

Application programs and terminal activities remain logically unimpaired whenever any changes
are made in either storage representation or access methods.
Logical Data Independence

Application programs and terminal activities remain logically unimpaired when information
preserving changes of any kind that theoretically permit unimpairment are made to the base
tables.
Integrity Independence
Integrity constraints specific to a particular relational database must be definable in the relational
data sublanguage and storable in the catalog, not in the application programs.
Distribution Independence
The data manipulation sublanguage of a relational DBMS must enable application programs and
terminal activities to remain logically unimpaired whether and whenever data are physically
centralized or distributed.
SQL Material
6
Nonsubversion Rule
If a relational system has or supports a low-level (single-record-at-a-time) language, that low-
level language cannot be used to subvert or bypass the integrity rules or constraints expressed in
the higher-level (multiple-records-at-a-time) relational language.

2. Data Redundancy: Less Data reputation
3. Data Integrity: Data validation/Data Checking Process facility
4. Backup and Recovery(Restore)
5. Introducing support for XML
6. User defined function are introduced.
7. OLAP (online analytical process) services available in SQL server 7.0 are now called as SQL
server 2012 analysis services
Tool:
1. Management Studio: It contains two parts, they are
SQL Material
8
1. Cui (Character user interface):
 Sqlscripting can be written in *newqury* option

 By using execute button or f5 we can execute the script
2. Gui (Graphical user interface):
 It is Navigations part of the management Studio.
 We can connect to GUI by using *summary* option.
Path: start programs sqlserver 2008 Management Studio (click)

Path:startRunSSMS (click)
Inside management studio window provide following information
1. Server type-- database engine

2. servername-- database server name
3. authentication--
A. Windows’s authentication
 This user must be an OS user
B. Sqlserver authentication
UN: sa (sysadmin-- DBA)

Pw: ******** (Depends Upon Installation)
Things to Observe:
1. While writing the Queries using T-SQL in SQL Server Management Studio we need not
to follow any particular case. Because T-SQL is case insensitive language.
2. After writing the Query, we need to select that query using either mouse or keyboard.
3. Now Press F5 (Execute Key).
4. Then the results are displayed in a separate window called Result window or Result
Pane.
5. Use Ctrl+R to Hide/Show the Result window or Result Pane.
6. Use F8 for Object Explorer
Databases:
1. System databases:
 These are inbuilt or default databases

 Along with installation of Sqlserver 2008 we can get system databases
SQL Material
9
 System databases monitors entire database engine
Note: User can’t create and delete a system database
A. master
B. model
C. msdb
D. tempdb
E. MS resources
Description
master Records all the system-level information for an instance of SQL Server.
Database
msdb It is used by SQL Server Agent for scheduling alerts and jobs.
Database
model
Database Template database
Resource It is a read-only database that contains system objects that are included with
Database SQL Server 2005. System objects are physically persisted in the Resource
database, but they logically appear in the sys schema of every database.
tempdb It is a workspace for holding temporary objects or intermediate result sets.

Database

SQL
This is a 4th generated intermediate language between user and SQL Server. Whenever
user wants to interact with SQL Server, he has to interact with SQL Server through T-SQL. It
includes the following Sub Languages
Sublanguages:
1. DDL (data definition language)

2. DML (data manipulation language)
3. DRL (data retrieval language) or QL (query language)
4. TCL (transaction control language)
5. DCL (data control language) -- DBA
1. DDL:
Commands:
1. Create
2. Truncate
3. Drop
4. Alter
1. Create: used to create database, tables and other database objects
syn: create table <tn>(col1 dt(l),col2 dt(l),col3 dt(l))
Ex: create table T1 (id int, ename varchar (20), DOB datetime)
Note:
 Max length of a table name and column name is 30; it may include alphabets, digits 0 to
9 and special character '_' (Underscore).
 It is known as "naming conventions".
 Max of 1024 columns can be included into a table.
2. Truncate: used to delete entire data from a table and its not possible to delete selected or
specific rows from a table by using truncate command.
Ex:
Assume that T1 is a table, contains 10 rows of data, now
Entire data of T1 table= 10rows
Selected or specific data of T1 table<entire data
SQL Material
15
1 to 9 rows are known as selected or specific data
Syn: truncate table <TN>
Ex: truncate table T1
3. Drop: used delete a table from the database
Syn: drop table <TN>
Ex: drop table T1
4. Alter:
Alter+add: used to add a column to the table
Syn: alter table <TN> add column_name DT (l), column_name DT (l)
Ex: alter table T1 add sal numeric (7, 2), comm Numeric (5, 2), address varchar (50)
Alter+drop: used delete columns from the table
Syn: alter table <TN> drop column column_name
Ex: alter table T1 drop column address
Alter+alter: used change the data type and length of data type of a column
Note: Column is empty then only we can change data type
Syn: alter table <TN> alter column column_name DT (l)
Ex: alter table T1 alter column id varchar (20)
Miscellaneous:
System stored procedures: Directly we can execute them when ever required
1. Getting description of a table (metadata)
Syn: sp_help <TN>
Ex: sp_help T1
SQL Material
16
2. Getting description of a database:

DML:
Commands:
1. Insert
2. Update
3. Delete
1. Insert: Used to insert (add) data into tables
Syn: insert into <TN> values (col1, col2, col3)
Ex: insert into T3 values ('a12','ramesh','12-apr-07', 3000, 30)

Id name DOB sal comm
Note: while working with char and date time data we should use single quotes
Inserting null values into table:
Student table contains 5 columns; now insert null value into comm column
Ex: insert into T3 (id, name, DOB) values ('a13','ravi','21-jul-07', 3000)
SQL Material
17
Ex: insert into T3 values ('a14','ram','12-apr-07', 4000, null)
2. Update: used to update (replace) old data with new data, it is two types they are
A. Updating entire data in a column:
Syn: update <TN> set column_name=new_value
Ex: update T3 set sal=5000
B. Updating selected data in a column:
Syn: update <TN> set column_name=new_value where <condition>
Ex: update T3 set sal=3000 where id='a12'
3. Delete: used to delete entire data and selected data from a table
A. Deleting entire data from a table:
Syn: delete from <TN>
Ex: delete from T3
B. Deleting selected data from a table:
Syn: delete from <TN> where <condition>
Ex: delete from T3 where id='a14'
DRL:
Commands:
1. Select: used to retrieve or display data from table or tables
Note: Retrieving data from single table is 4 types
1. Retrieving entire data (all columns and all rows) from a table
Syn: select*from <TN>
Ex: select*from T3
SQL Material
18
Note: * stands for entire columns of the table
2. Retrieving all columns and selected rows from a table
Syn: select*from <TN> where <condition>
Ex: select*from T3 where id='a12'
3. Retrieving entire data from selected columns
Syn: select col1, col2 from <TN>
Ex: select ename, fees from T3
4. Retrieving selected rows from selected columns
Syn: select col1, col2 from <TN> where <condition>
Ex: select name, fees from T3 where id='a13'
Constraints:
 Set of rules which are used to improve functionality of tables
 These are inbuilt rules
 We can impose constraints on columns
Adv:
1. Creating permanent relations between tables
2. We can avoid duplications and null values
3. We can create permanent conditions
Note: We can create a constraint along with table creation this is of two types:
1. Column level Constraint: It can be created on single column
2. Table level Constraint: It can be created on multiple columns
Note: We can add a constraint to the existing table
Types:
1. Primary key
SQL Material
19
2. Unique constraint
3. Check constraint
4. Not null
5. Foreign key (Referential integrity)
1. Primary key:
Properties:
 It is unique
 It is not null
 Column level Primary Key:
Syn: create table <TN> (col1 DT (l) constraint con_name primary key, col2 DT (l), col3 DT (l))
Ex: create table t1 (id int constraint p_key primary key, name varchar (20), DOB datetime)
 In this we can create a constraint on single column only
 Table level Primary key:
syn: create table <tn>(col1 dt(l),col2 dt(l),col3 dt(l), constraint con_name primary key(col1,col2))
Ex: create table t2 (id int, name varchar (20), DOB datetime, constraint p_key3 primary key (id,
name))
 We can create single constraint on multiple columns
 Max of single primary key can be created on a table
 If single primary key is working on multiple columns then it is known as "composite

primary key"
2. Unique constraint:
Properties:
 Unique
 It accepts single null value
Syn: create table <TN> (col1 DT (l) constraint con_name unique, col2 DT (l), col3 DT (l))
Ex: create table t3 (id int constraint u_con unique, dname varchar (20), loc varchar (20))
SQL Material
20
3. Check constraint: used to impose permanent conditions on columns
Syn: create table <tn>(col1 dt(l),col2 dt(l) constraint con_name check(condition),col3 dt(l))
Ex: create table t4 (id int, sal numeric (7, 2) constraint check_con check (sal>3000), commission
numeric (5, 2))
4. Not null: it doesn’t accept null values
Syn: create table <TN> (col1 DT (l) constraint con_name not null)
Ex: create table t5 (id int constraint n_null not null)
5. Foreign key:
 It always references values from either primary key or unique constraint and there are no
properties for foreign key.
 It also known as referential integrity
 This reference will be stored into database permanently, so that

 It is comes under permanent relation
 Generally primary key and foreign are a part of different tables
 Primary key table is known as parent or master table
 Foreign key table is known as child or detail table
 We can create primary key and foreign key in single table, that is known as "self
referential integrity"
Note:
1. Primary key and foreign key columns data types must be same.
2. If the value existing in primary key then only we can insert same value into foreign key.
3. Foreign key accepts null values when it is referencing from unique constraint
syn: create table <tn>(col1 dt(l),col2 dt(l),col3 dt(l), constraint con_name foreign
key(col1)references <tn2>(col1))
Ex: create table t6 (id int, address varchar (50), job varchar (20), constraint f_key foreign key (id)
references t1 (id))
SQL Material
21
Adding constraint to a table:
Syn: alter table <TN> add constraint con_name type_constraint (col_list)
Ex: alter table t2 add constraint p_key3 primary key (id)
Dropping constraint:
Syn: alter table <TN> drop constraint con_name
Ex: alter table t2 drop constraint p_key3
Information regarding constraints of a table:
Syn: sp_helpconstraint <TN>
Ex: sp_helpconstraint t1
Normalization:
Normalization is process of splitting the base table into multiple tables based on the theory of
Functional Dependency.
OR
Normalization is repetitive process in order to identify the functional dependencies among the
columns and to remove them. If any functional dependency is occurred after the normalization
process again we have to start the same process until all functional dependencies have been
removed.
To do this Normalization we have to follow rules or conditions called Normal Forms.

22 (P2, P3) ---- (Pn2, Pn3) ----- ----- 10 -------- -----
33 (P1, P3) ---- (Pn1, Pn3) ----- ----- 20 -------- -----
EMPNO and PROJNO are Primary Keys called ‘COMPOSITE PRIMARY KEY’
SQL Material
22
FIRST NORMAL FORM (1NF): According to first normal form table should contain only single
values columns. But in the above un-normalized table the columns PROJNO and PNAME contains
multiple values.
To make the table into first normal form we should have to split the multiple values into single
values.
EMPNO PROJNO ENAME PNAME SAL BUD DEPTNO DNAME LOC
11 P1 ---- Pn1 ----- ----- 10 -------- -----
11 P2 ---- Pn2 ----- ----- 10 -------- -----
22 P2 ---- Pn2 ----- ----- 10 -------- -----
22 P3 ---- Pn3 ----- ----- 10 -------- -----
33 P1 ---- Pn1 ----- ----- 20 -------- -----
33 P3 ---- Pn3 ----- ----- 20 -------- -----
SECOND NORMAL FORM (2NF):

According to second normal form table should be in 1NF and we should have to remove Partial
Functional Dependency.
In the above table DEPTNO non-key column dependent part of the Primary key column i.e.
EMPNO. It means there existed Partial functional dependency.
To make the table into second normal form we have to divide the table into multiple tables.

THIRD NORMAL FORM (3NF):

According to second normal form table should be in 2NF and we should have to remove
Transitive Functional Dependency.
In the above EMP-INFO table non-key column DNAME dependent part on the other non- key
column i.e.DEPTNO. It means there existed Transitive functional dependency.
To make the table into third normal form we have to divide the table into multiple tables.

DCL: It is used to control the data between different user accounts. It includes the following
statements.
1. GRANT Statement
2. REVOKE Statement
Grant Statement: This statement is used to grant the permissions (INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE,
DELETE) on a specific table to different user accounts.
Syntax:
GRANT {ALL/SPECIFIC PERMISSIONS} ON TABLENAME

TO USER ACCOUNT (S) [WITH GRANT OPTION]
WITH GRANT OPTION: When any user got the permissions on a specific table from other user
with this option, then that user can grant the permissions on that same table to another user
account. At that time sub user acts as owner.
SQL Material
24
Ex:
GRANT ALL ON EMP TO RAMESH WITH GRANT OPTION
From the above statement RAMESH user account got all permissions on EMP table from SA user
account. Mean time RAMESH can give the permissions on EMP to another user account because
he got the permissions WITH GRANT OPTION.
Ex:
GRANT INSERT, SELECT ON EMP TO SURESH
Now SURESH can perform select and insert operations on EMP table.
But SURESH cannot perform update and delete operations on EMP table because he does not
have the corresponding permissions.
Revoke Statement: This statement is used to revoke the permissions (INSERT, SELECT, UPDATE,
DELETE) on a specific table from different user accounts.
Syntax:
REVOKE {ALL/SPECIFIC PERMISSIONS} ON TABLENAME

FROM USER ACCOUNT (S) [CASCADE]
CASCADE: Using this option we can destroy the communication link between user accounts more
over from the main user it self we can revoke the permissions from all sub users.
Ex:
REVOKE ALL ON EMP FROM RAMESH CASCADE
The above statement revokes the permissions on EMP table from RAMESH and SURESH.
Now RAMESH and SURESH users cannot access EMP table.
TCL:
Transaction is nothing but a unit of work. We can control these transactions using the following
statements
ROLLBACK Statement
COMMIT Statement
SAVE TRAN [SACTION]
SQL Material
25
ROLLBACK Statement: This statement is used to cancel a particular performed transaction. To

perform this statement in SQL Server we have to follow any one of the below 2 approaches.
Approach 1: SET IMPLICIT_TRANSATIONS ON
This approach is only to cancel a single recently performed operation.
Ex:
SET IMPLICIT_TRANSATIONS ON
SELECT * FROM EMP
DELETE FROM EMP
SELECT * FROM EMP
ROLLBACK
SELECT * FROM EMP
Approach 2: Explicit Transactions
To approach is to cancel recently performed multiple operations.
Syntax: BEGIN TRAN

-------------
GO
-------------
GO
-------------
ROLLBACK TRAN
Note: GO is query separator
Ex:
BEGIN TRAN
INSERT INTO DEPT VALUES (50,’TRA’,’AUS’)
GO
UPDATE EMP SET SAL=SAL+1000 WHERE EMPNO=11
GO
DELETE FROM STUDENT WHERE SNO=101
Select the entire transaction and press F5 for one time
ROLLBACK TRAN
The ROLLBACK statement cancels INSERT on Dept, UPDATE on EMP and DELETE on Student
tables.
SQL Material
26
COMMIT Statement: This statement makes a transaction permanent. It is not possible to rollback
the committed transaction.
Ex:
SELECT * FROM EMP

DELETE FROM EMP
SELECT * FROM EMP
COMMIT
SELECT * FROM EMP
The COMMIT statement deletes the data from EMP permanently. It is not possible to ROLLBACK
the delete operation.
Ex:
BEGIN TRAN
GO
GO
Select the entire transaction and press F5 for one time
COMMIT TRAN
The above COMMIT TRAN makes all three transactions permanent. We cannot ROLLBACK the
transactions.
SAVE TRAN Statement: This statement is used to COMMIT/ROLLBACK a particular performed

transaction from the set of transactions. It is associated with alphabets in order to save the
transactions.
BEGIN TRAN
SAVE TRAN A
SAVE TRAN B
SAVE TRAN C
ROLLBACK TRAN C (The delete operation will be cancelled)

COMMIT TRAN B (The update operation performed permanently we cannot rollback)

CLAUSES:
Group by clause:
 Used to group similar data in the output
 Conjunction of the similar data
 Used to divide the table into number of subgroups based on a specific column.
 Minimum single group or aggregate function is mandatory
 If column contains similar data then only we can use it into group by clause
 Display the number of employee working in different jobs of EMP table
Ex: Select job, count (job) from EMP

Group by job
 Display max and min salaries of employees who are working in different deptno's of EMP
table
Ex 1: Select deptno, max (sal), min (sal) from EMP

Group by (deptno)
Ex 2: SELECT DEPTNO, MAX (SAL) AS HISAL, MIN (SAL) AS LOSAL, SUM (SAL) AS TOTSAL, AVG
(SAL) AS AVGSAL FROM EMP
GROUP BY DEPTNO
Having clause:
SQL Material
36
 It is an arithmetical expression
 It can be used as an extension of group by clause and we can’t use where clause after
group by clause
 This clause is used to evaluate a condition with group by clause. Generally for evaluating
conditions we will use WHERE clause, but where clause does not support by group by
clause.
Ex: Select job, count (deptno) from EMP

Group by job
Having count (deptno)>2
Ex: SELECT DEPTNO, MAX (SAL) AS HISAL, MIN (SAL) AS LOSAL,

SUM (SAL) AS TOTSAL, AVG (SAL) AS AVGSAL FROM EMP
GROUP BY DEPTNO HAVING AVG (SAL)>10000
Order by clause:
 It is temporary sorting of the data either in ascending order or in Descending order
 Default is ascending order
Ascending:
Ex: Select*from EMP order by sal
Descending:
Ex: Select*from EMP order by sal desc
Clause precedence:
1. Where clause
2. Group by clause
3. Having clause
4. order by clause
Joins:
 Used to retrieve data from multiple tables
 Joins plays major role in performance tuning
 Joins comes under temporary relations
SQL Material
37
 We need a common column or common data column in multiple tables
 Two tables are there, they are EMP and DEPT am creating joins between them
 Both tables contains a common column i.e. deptno, so that we can create Joins between
EMP, DEPT tables
 Formula: no. of joins=no. of tables-1
Types of JOINS:
1. Inner join :( Equi join)
We are retrieving data from EMP, DEPT tables
Ex:
Select empno, ename, sal, d.deptno, dname, loc from EMP e

Inner join DEPT d on e.deptno=d.deptno
Note: Query retrieves equal number of rows from both tables
2. Outer join: This is three types
1. Left outer join:

Left outer join DEPT d on e.deptno=d.deptno
It retrieves condition satisfies and non satisfied data from left side table of the condition i.e. EMP,
it retrieves only condition satisfied data from right side table of the condition i.e. DEPT
2. Right outer join:

Right outer join DEPT d on e.deptno=d.deptno
It retrieves condition satisfied from left side table of the condition i.e. EMP, it retrieves condition
satisfied data and non satisfied data from right side table of the condition i.e. DEPT
3. Full outer join:
This is combination of both right and left outer joins.

Full outer join DEPT d on e.deptno=d.deptno
SQL Material
38
It retrieves condition satisfied and non satisfied data from both tables.
3. Non-equi join: EMP table contains a column sal, in SALGRADE table, we got two columns losal
and hisal so that we can define a join condition.
Select empno, ename, sal, grade from EMP e, SALGRADE s where

e.sal between s.losal and s.hisal
By using above query we can map employees and their grades.
4. Cross join :( Cartesian product)
a= (1, 2, 3)
b= (4, 5, 6)
A*B=3*3=9
EMP table contains 14 rows

Dept table contains 4 rows
Cross join of EMP, DEPT tables produces 56 rows
Ex:
Select*from EMP cross join DEPT
SUB-QUERIES:
 It is a Combination of multiple queries or select statements.
 Query with in a query is known as Sub-Query
Syn:
Select statement (Select statement)

Outer query inner query
Types:
1. Simple or single row sub query:
 It returns only single row to the user
SQL Material
39
Ex: Retrieve second highest sal from EMP table
Select max (sal) from EMP where sal< (select max (sal) from EMP)
2. Nested sub query:
 It is also simple sub query
 It returns single row
Ex: Retrieve third highest sal from EMP table
Select max (sal) from EMP where sal< (select max (sal) from EMP where
Sal< (select max (sal) from EMP))
Distinct: It eliminates duplications temporarily.
Ex:
A. Select sal from EMP
B. Select distinct (sal) from EMP
 Formula for retrieving n highest salaries from EMP table:
Select max (sal) from EMP e where n= (select count (distinct (sal)) from EMP b
where e.sal<b.sal)
 N is a number which indicates position of the sal
 N starts from zero
 n=n-1
 Formula for Min sal:
Select min (sal) from EMP e where n= (select count (distinct (sal)) from
EMP b where e.sal>b.sal)
3. Co-related sub query:
SQL Material
40
 It can return single and multiple rows to the user
I want to retrieve deptno 20 data from EMP table, for that I want Satisfy the condition in dept
table
Ex:
Select*from EMP where deptno= (select deptno from DEPT where dname='accounting')
Note: If a sub query sends multiple values to its nearest main query then we have to use IN
operator between Main query and Sub query.
Ex: WAQ to display employee details, who are working under RAM dept.
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE DEPTNO= (SELECT DEPTNO FROM EMP WHERE ENAME=’RAM’)
Ex: WAQ To display employee details, whose salary is greater than highest salary of 10 th
department
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE SAL> (SELECT MAX (SAL) FROM EMP WHERE DEPTNO=10)
Ex: WAQ To display employee details, whose salary is greater than average salary of RAM
department
SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE SAL> (SELECT AVG (SAL) FROM EMP WHERE DEPTNO=
SELECT DEPTNO FROM EMP WHERE ENAME=’RAM’)
Creating a table by copying data and structure from another table:
Syn:
Select*into <TN> from <existing_table>
Ex:
Select*into EMP1 from EMP
Ex: (Oracle)
Create table EMP1 as select*from EMP;
Creating a table by copying structure from another table:
In this by defining false condition we can avoid copying of data.
Syn:
SQL Material
41
Select*into <TN> from <existing_tabel> where <false_condition>
Ex:
Select*into EMP2 from EMP where 1=2
Views:
A View is nothing but an image table or virtual table, which is created for a base table. A view can
be created by taking all values from the base table or by taking only selected values from base
table. There are two types’ views available in SQL Server.
1. Simple Views
2. Complex Views
Note: If we perform any modifications in base table, then those modifications automatically
effected in view and vice-versa.
1. Simple Views: Creating View by taking only one single base table.
Syntax:
CREATE VIEW VIEWNAME [WITH ENCRYPTION]

AS SELECT * FROM TABLENAME [WHERE CONDITION]
[WITH CHECK OPTION]
Ex:
CREATE VIEW V1 AS SELECT * FROM EMP

INSERT INTO V1 VALUES (55,’RAVI’, 10000, 10)
The above insert statement inserts the values into base table EMP as well as into view V1.
Ex:
CREATE VIEW V2 AS SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE DEPTNO=10
INSERT INTO V2 VALUES (66,’BABBU’, 25000, 10)
The above insert statement inserts the values into base table EMP as well as into view
V2.
INSERT INTO V2 VALUES (77,’AMAR’, 15000, 20)
SQL Material
42
The above insert statement inserts the values into only base table EMP but not into view
V2 because according to the definition of V2 user supplied values are invalid values. It means
invalid values are inserting into base table EMP. To stop this kind of operations we have to create
the view with ‘WITH CHECK OPTION’.
Ex:

WITH CHECK OPTION
INSERT INTO V3 VALUES (88,’TEJA’, 25000, 20)
The above insert statement cannot insert the values into base table EMP as well as into view V3.
SP_HELPTEXT: This stored procedure is used to display the definition of a specific view.
Syntax:
SP_HELPTEXT VIEWNAME
Ex: SP_HELPTEXT V1
Output: CREATE VIEW V1 AS SELECT * FROM EMP
WITH ENCRYPTION: Once we create any view with ‘WITH ENCRYPTION’ then we cannot find the
definition of that particular view using SP_HELPTEXT stored procedure because this encryption
option hides the definition.
Ex:
CREATE VIEW V4 WITH ENCRYPTION

AS SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE DEPTNO=20
SP_HELPTEXT V4
Output: The text for object v4 is encrypted
To decrypt the definition of view V4 we have to follow the below approach

1. Replace CREATE with ALTER
2. Remove WITH ENCRYPTION keyword
Ex:
ALTER VIEW V4 AS SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE DEPTNO=20
SQL Material
43
SP_HELPTEXT V4
2. Complex Views:
Creating View by taking multiple base tables.
Ex:
CREATE VIEW EMP_DEPT_VIEW AS SELECT EMP.EMPNO, EMP.ENAME, DEPT.DEPTNO,

DEPT.DNAME FROM EMP, DEPT WHERE EMP.DEPTNO=DEPT.DEPTNO
Syntax to create view based on another views:
SQL SERVER enables users to create views based on another view. We can create view based on
another view up to 32 levels
Syntax:
CREATE VIEW VIEWNAME [WITH ENCRYPTION] AS SELECT * FROM VIEWNAME [WHERE

CONDITION] [WITH CHECK OPTION]
Ex:
CREATE VIEW V5 AS SELECT * FROM V1 WHERE DEPTNO=10
Syntax to Drop the Views:
DROP VIEW VIEWNAME […N]
Ex: DROP VIEW V1, V2, V3, V4, V5
Indexes:
Indexes in SQL server is similar to index in text book... Indexes are used to improve the
performance of queries.
 INDEXES ARE GENERALLY CREATED FOR FOLLOWING COLUMNS

1. Primary key column
2. Foreign key column: frequently used in join conditions.
3. Column which are frequently used in where clause
4. Columns, which are used to retrieve the data in sorting order.
 INDEXED CANNOT BE CREATED FOR FOLLOWING COLUMNS
SQL Material
44
1. The columns which are not used frequently used in where clause.
2. Columns containing the duplicate and null values
3. Columns containing images, binary information, and text
information.
TYPES OF INDEXES:
 CLUSTERED INDEX
 NON-CLUSTERED INDEX
CLUSTERED INDEX: only one clustered index is allowed per table. The order of values in a table
order of values in index is also same. When cluster index is created on table data is arranged in
ascending order cluster index will occupy 5% of the table.
Syntax:
CREATE [UNIQUE] CLUSTERED INDEX INDEXNAME ON TABLENAME (COLUMN)
Ex:
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX CI ON EMP (EMPNO)
Note: If we want to maintain unique values in clustered/non clustered indexed column then
specify UNIQUE keyword along with CLUSTERED INDEX/NONCLUSTERD INDEX
NONCLUSTERED INDEX: It is the default index created by the server the physical order of the
data in the table is different from the order of the values in index. Max no. Of non-clustered
indexed allowed for table is 249
Syntax:
CREATE [UNIQUE] NONCLUSTERED INDEX INDEXNAME
ON TABLENAME (COLUMN1…)
Ex:
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX NCI ON EMP (ENAME, SAL)
Ex:
CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX UI ON DEPT (DNAME)
COMPOSITE INDEX: If a Unique NonClustered index is created on more than one column then
that concept is called composite index.
CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX COI ON DEPT (DEPTNO, DNAME)
SQL Material
45
DEPTNO DNAME
10 SALES
20 HR
30 IR
10 HR (Accepted)
20 SALES (Accepted)
30 IR (Repeated, Not accepted)
SP_HELPINDEX: This stored procedure is used to display the list of indexes, which have been
placed on different columns of a specific table.
Ex: SP_HELPINDEX EMP
Syntax to drop the index:
DROP INDEX TABLENAME.INDEXNAME
Ex:
DROP INDEX DEPT.UI
Synonym:
 It is a database object
 It is a second or duplicate name which can be assigned to a table
 It will not occupies any space, just it is a second name of the table
 Trough synonyms we can impose securities i.e. we can hide actual table names
Syn: create synonym syn_name for <TN>
Ex: create synonym syn_1 for EMP
Retrieving data:
Syn: select*from syn_name

Ex: select*from syn_1
Dropping:
Syn: drop synonym <TN>

Ex: drop synonym syn_1
SQLSERVER LOCKS:
SQL Material
46
1. Intent
Intent lock shows the future intention of SQL Server's lock manager to acquire locks on a specific
unit of data for a particular transaction. SQL Server uses intent locks to queue exclusive locks,
thereby ensuring that these locks will be placed on the data elements in the order the
transactions were initiated.
Types: Intent locks are 3 types……
Intent shared (IS): IS locks indicate that the transaction will read some (but not all) the resources
in the table or page by placing shared locks.
Intent exclusive (IX): IX locks indicate that the transaction will modify some (but not all)
resources in the table or page by placing exclusive locks.
Shared with intent exclusive (SIX): SIX locks indicate that the transaction will read all resources,
and modify some (but not all) of them. This will be accomplished by placing the shared locks on
the resources read and exclusive locks on the rows modified. Only one SIX lock is allowed per
resource at one time; therefore, SIX locks prevent other connections from modifying any data in
the resource (page or table), although they do allow reading the data in the same resource.
2. Shared
Shared locks (S) allow transactions to read data with SELECT statements. Other connections are
allowed to read the data at the same time; however, no transactions are allowed to modify data
until the shared locks are released.
3. Update
Update locks (U) are acquired just prior to modifying the data. If a transaction modifies a row,
then the update lock is escalated to an exclusive lock; otherwise, it is converted to a shared lock.
Only one transaction can acquire update locks to a resource at one time. Using update locks
prevents multiple connections from having a shared lock that want to eventually modify a
resource using an exclusive lock. Shared locks are compatible with other shared locks, but are not
compatible with Update locks.
4. Exclusive
Exclusive locks (X) completely lock the resource from any type of access including reads. They are
issued when data is being modified through INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements.
5. Schema
Schema modification locks (Sch-M) are acquired when data definition language statements, such
as CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX, ALTER TABLE, and so on are being executed. Schema stability
locks (Sch-S) are acquired when store procedures are being compiled.
6. Bulk Update
Bulk update locks (BU) are used when performing a bulk-copy of data into a table with TABLOCK
hint. These locks improve performance while bulk copying data into a table; however, they reduce
concurrency by effectively disabling any other connections to read or modify data in the table
RULES AND DEFAULTS:
CREATING DEFAULT: Default is one of the database objects used to declare default values
globally.
Syntax:
CREATE DEFAULT DEFAULTNAME AS NUMERICVALUE/STRING VALUE
SQL Material
47
Ex:
CREATE DEFAULT D1 AS ‘UNKNOWN’
BINDING THE DEFAULT TO COLUMN:
Syntax:
SP_BINDDEFAULT DEFAULTNAME, ‘TABLENAME.COLUMN’
Ex:
SP_BINDDEFAULT D1, ‘DEPT.LOC’

SP_BINDEFAULT D1, ‘EMP.ENAME’
INSERT INTO DEPT (DEPTNO, DNAME) VALUES (10,ACCOUNTING’)
SELECT * FROM DEPT WHERE DEPTNO =10

DEPTNO DNAME LOC
10 ACCOUNTING UNKNOWN
INSERT INTO EMP (EMPNO, SAL, DEPTNO) VALUES (100, 5000,20)
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, DEPTNO FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO =100

EMPNO ENAME DEPTNO
100 UNKNOWN 20
UNBINDING THE DEFAULT FROM THE BINDING COLUMN:
Syntax:
SP_UNBINDEFAULT ‘TABLENAME...COLUMN’
SP_UNBINDEFAULT ‘ DEPT.LOC’
SP_UNBINDEFAULT ‘ EMP.ENAME’
DROPPING THE DEFAULT:
Syntax:

Cursors:
Cursor is a logical area, which is used to retrieve a particular nth record. Selecting a particular nth
record is not possible through physical area (Table). In such situations one logical area (Cursor) we
can create and then we can select a particular nth record. Cursors are used to store transaction
information temporarily.
Types of Cursors:
1. STATIC CURSOR
2. DYNAMIC CURSOR
3. KEYSET CURSOR
4. FORWARD_ONLY CURSOR
DEPT_TABLE:
DEPTNO DNAME LOC

10 SALES HYD
20 HR CHE
30 IR BAN
40 A/C MUM
Syntax:
Syntax to declare the Cursor:
DECLARE CURSORNAME CURSOR CURSORTYPE

FOR SELECT * FROM TABLENAME
Syntax to open the Cursor:
OPEN CURSORNAME
Syntax to fetch the records from Cursor:
FETCH {FIRST/NEXT/PRIOR/LAST/ABSOLUTE N/RELATIVE N}

FROM CURSORNAME
Syntax to close the Cursor:
CLOSE CURSORNAME
Syntax to de allocates the Cursor:
DEALLOCATE CURSORNAME
SQL Material
53
FIRST: Fetches first record from the cursor
NEXT: Fetches next record from the current position of the cursor
PRIOR: Fetches previous record from the current position of the cursor
LAST: Fetches last record from the cursor
ABSOLUTE N: Fetches nth record from the top of the cursor if n is positive fetches the nth record
from bottom of the cursor if n is negative. Where n is an integer
RELATIVE N: Fetches nth next record from current position of the cursor if n is positive fetches
nth previous record from the current position of the cursor if n is negative where n is an integer.
1. STATIC CURSOR:
This is the logical area in which dynamic updations not possible. If we want those updations in
logical area we close the cursor and we need to reopen it.
1.
DECLARE SC CURSOR STATIC FOR SELECT * FROM DEPT
OPEN SC
FETCH FIRST FROM SC

10 SALES HYD
UPDATE DEPT SET DEPTNO=15 WHERE DEPTNO=10
FETCH FIRST FROM SC

10 SALES HYD
CLOSE SC
OPEN SC
FETCH FIRST FROM SC

15 SALES HYD
FETCH NEXT FROM SC

30 IR BAN
FETCH FIRST FROM SC

15 SALES HYD
FETCH RELATIVE 2 FROM SC
30 IR BAN
FETCH RELATIVE –2 FROM SC

15 SALES HYD
CLOSE SC
DEALLOCATE SC
2. DYNAMIC CURSOR:
This is the logical area in which dynamic updations possible. We need to close and reopen the
cursor for the modified values
Ex:
DECLARE DC CURSOR DYNAMIC FOR SELECT * FROM DEPT
OPEN SC
FETCH FIRST FROM DC

15 SALES HYD
FETCH FIRST FROM DC

10 SALES HYD
CLOSE DC
DEALLOCATE DC
Note: ABSOLUTE N will not be supported by the dynamic cursor because dynamic updations are
possible.
3. KEYSET CURSOR:
SQL Material
55
This is the logical area, which is useful only when there is a primary key in the table. This logical
area holds only Primary key column values. Based on the key column values in the logical area
(Cursor) the rest column values are coming from physical area (Table).
Ex:
DECLARE KC CURSOR KEYSET FOR SELECT * FROM DEPT
OPEN KC
FETCH FIRST FROM KC

10 SALES HYD
UPDATE DEPT SET LOC=’SRNAGAR’ WHERE LOC=’HYD’

FETCH FIRST FROM KC
10 SALES SRNAGAR
FETCH FIRST FROM KC

0 NULL NULL
CLOSE KC
OPEN KC
FETCH FIRST FROM KC

15 SALES HYD
CLOSE KC
DEALLOCATE KC
Note: Dynamic updations are not possible on key column of the keyset cursor, we have to close
the cursor and we need to reopen it for the modified values.
4. FORWARD_ONLY CURSOR:
This is the most unused logical area because it supports only NEXT operation.
Ex:
DECLARE FC CURSOR FORWARD_ONLY FOR SELECT * FROM DEPT
OPEN FC
FETCH FIRST FROM FC

Error Message
FETCH NEXT FROM FC
SQL Material
56
15 SALES HYD
CLOSE SC
DEALLOCATE FC
NOTE:
If the cursor does not found any value in its searching process then it will display the
corresponding column values.
1. BATCH TO FETCH MULTIPLE RECORDS FROM STATIC CURSOR

TRIGGERS:
Two types of Triggers are there in SQLSERVER 2005, they are
1. DDL TRIGGERS: Can be created on database Servers and databases.
2. DML TRIGGERS: Can be created on Tables and Views.
DML Triggers:
DML triggers respond to user INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE operations against a table or a view.
When a data modification event occurs, the trigger performs a set of actions defined within the
trigger. Similar to stored procedures, triggers are defined in Transact-SQL and allow a full range
of activities to be performed.
A DML trigger can be defined specifically as FOR UPDATE, FOR INSERT, FOR DELETE, or any
combination of the three. UPDATE triggers respond to modifications against one or more
columns within the table, INSERT triggers respond to new data being added to the database, and
DELETE triggers respond to data being deleted from the database.
There are two types of DML triggers: AFTER and INSTEAD OF.
AFTER triggers are only allowed for tables, and they execute after the data modification has been
completed against the table.
INSTEAD OF triggers execute instead of the original data modification and can be created for
both tables and views.
DML triggers allow you to perform actions in response to data modifications in a table.
For example, you can create a trigger that populates an audit table based on the operation
performed, or perhaps use the trigger to decrement the value of a quantity. Although this ability
to trigger actions automatically is a powerful feature, there are a few things to keep in mind
before your use of triggers proliferates:
• Triggers can often become a hidden and hence forgotten problem. When troubleshooting
Performance or logical issues, DBAs can forget that triggers are executing in the background.
SQL Material
64
Make sure that your use of triggers is “visible” in your data documentation.
• If you can ensure that all your data modifications flow through a stored procedure, I would
strongly recommend you perform all activities within the stored procedure, rather than use a
Trigger. For example, if you need to update a quantity in a related table, after inserting a sales
record; why not put this logic in the stored procedure instead? The advantages are manageability
(One place to look) and supportability (one place to troubleshoot), when the Procedure needs
modifications or performs unexpected actions.
• Always keep performance in mind and this means writing triggers that execute quickly.
Long-running triggers can significantly slow down data modification operations. Take particular
care in putting triggers into databases with frequent data modifications.
• Non-logged updates do not cause a DML trigger to fire (for example WRITETEXT, TRUNCATE
TABLE and bulk insert operations).
• Constraints usually run faster than a DML trigger, so if your business requirements can be
fulfilled by a constraint, use constraints instead. AFTER triggers run after the data modification
has already occurred, so they cannot be used to prevent a constraint violation.
• Don’t allow result sets from a SELECT statement to be returned within your trigger. Most
applications can’t consume these in an elegant fashion, and embedded queries can hurt the
Trigger’s performance.
Parts of Trigger:
1. Triggering Statement
2. Triggering Restriction
3. Triggering Action
Note: Triggering Action is different from remaining parts, because Trigger fires implicitly
whenever an event occurs against to the Triggering Condition.
Things to Observe:
 When user creates an after Trigger on any table for INSERT operation then server
arranges a temporary table “INSERTED” for holding recently inserted values.
 When user creates an after Trigger on any table for DELETE operation then server
arranges a temporary table “DELETED” for holding recently deleted values.
 When user creates an after Trigger on any table for UPDATE operation then server
arranges two temporary tables “INSERTED, DELETED” for holding old and new values of
UPDATE operation.
Syntax of After Trigger:
SQL Material

CREATE TRIGGER TRIGGERNAME ON TABLE NAME

FOR/ AFTER {INSERT/ UPDATE/ DELETE}

CREATE TRIGGER deleteorder_trigger ON orders

AFTER DELETE
SQL Material
66
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO orders_archive (order_id, order_date, cust_id)
SELECT order_id, order_date, cust_id FROM DELETED
End
Note:
1. Create Orders, Orders_archive tables before running above program.

2. Orders, Orders_archive tables contain same structure.
3. DELETED is a temporary table
Ex:
CREATE TRIGGER vendor_trigger ON EMP

AFTER INSERT, UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE EMP SET ename=Upper (ename)
WHERE empno IN (SELECT empno FROM INSERTED)
END
Instead of Trigger:
Ex:
CREATE TRIGGER T4 ON DEPT INSTEAD OF INSERT,UPDATE, DELETE

AS
BEGIN
PRINT ‘THESE OPERATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED’
END
The above trigger fires automatically and shows a message THESE OPERATIONS ARE NOT
ALLOWED, when user try to perform INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE operations on DEPT table.
DDL TRIGGERS (2005 Triggers):
These triggers are fired when user performs DDL operations in the database and these triggers
belong to database. It means we can define triggers on the current database.
Syntax:
CREATE TRIGGER TRIGGERNAME ON DATABASE

FOR/ AFTER {DROP,/ALTER/ CREATE}
AS
BEGIN

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORACLE & SQL Server:
ORACLE SQL Server DESCRIPTION
%TYPE data type No equivalent The %TYPE data type of Oracle lets you create a variable and
have that variable's data type be defined by a table or view
column or a PL/SQL package variable.
There is no equivalent for Oracle's %TYPE datatype in T-SQL,

but it can be simulated (not very conveniently though) using
User Defined Data types (UDT). Here is an example:
EXEC sp_addtype 'MyType', 'smallint', NULL
CREATE TABLE MyTable (i MyType)
CREATE PROC MyProc

AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @i MyType
END
SQL Material
68
BEFORE triggers INSTEAD OF Use INSTEAD OF trigger in SQL Server as an equivalent to

triggers Oracle's BEFORE trigger.
For more information on INSTEAD OF triggers, see SQL Server

Books Online
DECODE() function CASE expression DECODE can be conveniently simulated using the T-SQL CASE
expression. Here's an example:
SELECT Sport,
CASE Sport
WHEN 'Cricket' THEN 'England'
WHEN 'Hockey' THEN 'India'
WHEN 'Base Ball' THEN 'America'
ELSE NULL
END AS 'Originating Country'
FROM Sports
DESCRIBE sp_help or There are a lot of alternatives for Oracle's DESCRIBE, in SQL
sp_columns Server. You could use the system stored procedure sp_help for
detailed information about a table's columns and other
properties.
If sp_help is providing you with too much information, then try

the ODBC catalog stored procedure, sp_columns.
There are a bunch of other useful sp_help* stored procedures

available in SQL Server. You can find more information about
those in SQL Server Books Online.
If none of those procedures are suitable for your requirements,

then you could query the system view
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS, to get the desired
information. You could wrap your code inside a stored
procedure named DESCRIBE, if you wish.
As a last resort, you could even query system tables like

sysobjects and syscolumns, but this is not a recommended
approach.
DUAL table No equivalent There is no DUAL table in SQL Server. In fact, you don't need
one in SQL Server, as you can have a SELECT statement without
a FROM clause.
For example, consider the following SELECT statement in Oracle:
SELECT 'Something'
FROM DUAL
SQL Material
69
In SQL Server, the same result can be obtained by the following

command:
SELECT 'Something'
If you are porting some code from Oracle into SQL Server and if
you don't want to remove all references to DUAL table, then just
create a DUAL table in your database using the following
commands:
CREATE TABLE DUAL

(
DUMMY varchar(1)
)
INSERT INTO DUAL (DUMMY) VALUES ('X')
INTERSECT Not supported Use EXISTS clause to generate the same result.
operator
The following example illustrates the simulation of Oracle's
INTERSECT operator:
SELECT OrderID, OrderDate

FROM Orders O
WHERE EXISTS
(
SELECT 1
FROM RefundsTable R
WHERE O.OrderID = R.OrderID
)
MINUS operator Not supported Use NOT EXISTS clause in your SELECT statement to generate
the same result.
The following example illustrates the simulation of Oracle's

MINUS operator:

FROM Orders O
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(
SELECT 1
FROM RefundsTable R
WHERE O.OrderID = R.OrderID
)
Nested tables Not supported Oracle 8i and prior versions didn't support this feature and is
SQL Material
70
introduced in Oracle 9i. This feature basically enables you to

store a table, within a column. It is like having an array of
records in your database columns.
SQL Server has no concept of nested tables.
As a workaround, You could store your sub-tables or child

tables in the form of XML inside a char, nchar, varchar, nvarchar,
text or ntext type column, and parse it as needed, at runtime.
See OPENXML, sp_xml_preparedocument,
sp_xml_removedocument in SQL Server 2000 Books Online.
Another possible workaround would be to store comma

separated values (CSV).
Note that this is against the basic rules of normalization.

Columns are nomore atomic, with nested tables.
From a design point of view, best thing to do would be, to

create different tables for representing different entities and link
them with primary and foreign key relationships. This will also
make searching easier.
Packages Not supported No equivalent in SQL Server for Oracle's Packages and Package
variables concept
PL/SQL T-SQL Every database product implements and extends the standard
PROGRAMMING SQL. Oracle's implementation of SQL is called PL/SQL, while
Microsoft's is called T-SQL (Transact-SQL)
Row level security No equivalent Though there is no inbuilt support in SQL Server for row level
permissions, you can implement it using view and system
functions.
For more information and a working example, read this article:
Implementing row level permissions/security in SQL Server

databases
rownum pseudo No equivalent Though there is no rownum or rowid in SQL Server, there are
column several ways in which a row number can be generated.
For some examples, read this article:
Q186133 INF: How to Dynamically Number Rows in a Select

Statement
SQL Material
71
SELECT...FOR UPDLOCK hint Use the locking hint UPDLOCK in your SELECT statement.
UPDATE
See SQL Server Books Online for more information.
Sequences IDENTITY It is much simpler in SQL Server to generate a sequence value

for a primary key or a non-key column.
You just need to turn on the IDENTITY property of column.

IDENTITY property can be set to columns of the following data
types: tinyint, smallint, int, bigint, decimal, numeric
Try this example to see how it works:
CREATE TABLE foo

(
i int IDENTITY(1, 1)
j int
)
INSERT INTO foo (j) VALUES (911)

INSERT INTO foo (j) VALUES (999)
SQL *Plus Query Analyzer/ For connecting to SQL Server and executing queries and
SSMS modifying data, use the built-in Query Analyzer. It is much more
powerful and friendlier than Oracle's SQL *Plus
START No equivalent Though there's no direct equivalent in T-SQL for Oracle's START
WITH...CONNECT WITH...CONNECT BY, there are several ways and efficient
BY clause techniques for processing and querying hierarcical data.
For more information, read this article:
Working with hierarchical data in SQL Server databases
Synonym Views You can simulate Oracle Synonyms in SQL Server using Views.
For example, the following creates a view that returns the
OrderID and OrderDate from Orders table.
CREATE VIEW vOrders

AS
FROM Orders
Now you can select data from the view, using the following
SELECT statement:
SELECT * FROM vOrders
SQL Material
72
The following example will create a view which is equivalent to

Oracles TABS synonym or USER_TABLES data dictionary view
(For simplicity, I am only including the table name in the view
definition):
CREATE VIEW TABS

AS
SELECT name AS table_name
FROM sysobjects
WHERE type = 'U'
Now you can execute the following SELECT statement to return

all user table names:
SELECT table_name
FROM TABS
T-SQL Enhancements in 2008:
Every new version of SQL Server comes with several T-SQL features and enhancements.
SQL Server 2008 is no exception. In the newest version of SQL Server, Microsoft has responded to
developer requests in a big way. SQL Server 2008 supports brand new developer convenience
features like single statement declaration and initialization, new data types to manipulate and
query date-based and spatial data, new statements like MERGE that add much needed
functionality to T-SQL and a whole lot more. Once you’ve made the move to SQL Server 2008,
you’ll undoubtedly want to take advantage of the new features and functionality to solve
common problems.
1. Separate Variable Declaration and Initialization
The first of these new features is single statement variable declaration and initialization. In the
past, developers had to declare new variables in one or more DECLARE statements and assign
values to the variables in one or more SET or SELECT statements as shown in below Listing.
DECLARE @x int, @y int, @z int

SET @x=1
SET @y=2
SET @z=3
With single statement declaration and initialization, you can combine these two steps into a
single step as shown in below Listing
DECLARE @x int =1,@y int=2, @z int =3
2. Calculating and Assigning Values with C-Style Assignment
SQL Material
73
T-SQL has further improved with the addition of several C-Style assignment operators.
Operator Description
+= Addition with assignment, or string
concatenation with assignment
-= Subtraction with assignment
*= Multiplication with assignment
/= Division with assignment
%= Modulo with assignment
Ex:
DECLARE @x int=4, @y int=25, @s1 varchar(20)=’Sql’

SET @x *= @y
SET @s1+= ‘SERVER’
SELECT @x, @s1
3. NEW INSERT STATEMENT
SYNTAX:
INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME

VALUES
(VALUE1, VALUE2,……),
(VALUE1, VALUE2,…..),
(VALUE1,VALU2,……..)
EX:
INSERT INTO EMP

VALUES
(11,’RAM’, 30000, 10),
(22,’RAJ’, 20000, 20)
Like in SQL Server 2005 we need not to write multiple INSERT statements for multiple records.
With in single INSERT statement we can insert multiple records into the table at a time
4. MERGE Statement
It is one of the DML statement placed newly in SQL Server 2008
SQL Material
74
Merge Statement is a combination statement that can perform INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
statements based on whether rows that match the selection criteria exist in the target table or
not.
This Merge statement takes Target and Source Tables, When Source rows are matched with
Target it will update the rows of source table into target table otherwise it will insert the rows
of source table into target table. Always merge statement takes a temp table as its source and
base table as its target table. Using this Merge statement we can combine the rows of a
source table to target table.
Syntax:
MERGE Target_Table as target

USING Source_table as source
ON condition
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE
SET column=source.column,………..
WHEN TARGET NOT MATCHED THEN

4. New Data Types In 2008
SQL Server 2008 provides new data types that support storage, manipulation and querying of
new forms of data. Some, like the date data type which stores a simple date with out the time
component. Others like the geometry data type, which allows storage and querying of spatial
data, have only recently addressed.
Date and Time Data Types
SQL Server supports four brand new date and time data types, which includes
1. date
2. time
3. datetime2
4. datetimeoffset
The date data type finally allows us to store date only without the time component. It can
also store a much larger range of dates than datetime and smalldatetime data types.
The date data type can handle dates from January 1, 1 CE (0001-01-01) to December 31,
9999 CE (9999-12-31)
SQL Material
75
Ex:
DECLARE @d1 date=’0014-08-19’

DECLARE @d2 date=’1983-02-26’
SELECT @d1 as DATE1,@d2 as DATE2
DATEDIFF (YEAR, @d1, @d2) as YEARDIFFERENCE
In contrast to the date data type, the time data type lets you to store time only data.
The range for the time data type is defined on 24 hour clock, from 00:00:00.0000000
through 23:59:59.9999999 with user defined fractional second precision of up to seven
digits.
Ex:
DECLARE @start_time time (1) =’06:25:19.1’ --1 digit fractional precision
DECLARE @end_time time=’18:25:19.1234567’ --default fractional precision
SELECT @start_time as STARTTIME, @end_time as ENDTIME

DATEADD (HOUR, 6, @start_time) as STARTTIMEPLUS,
DATEDIFF (HOUR,@start_time,@end_time) as ENDSTARTDIFF
The cleverly named datetime2 data type is an extension to the standard datetime data
type. The datetime2 combines the benefits of the new date and time data types, giving
you the wide date range of the date data type and the greater fractional second
precision of the time data type.
Ex:
DECLARE @start_dt2 datetime2=’1972-07-06T07:13:28.8235670’

DECLARE @end_dt2 datetime2=’2009-12-14T03:14:13.2349872’
SELECT @start_dt2 as start_dt2, @end_dt2 as end_dt2
The new datetimeoffset data type builds on datetime2 by adding the ability to store
offsets relative to the International Telecommunication Union(ITU) standard for
Coordinated Universal Time(UTC) with your date and time data type.
5. The Hierarchyid Data Type
The hierarchyid data type offers to represent hierarchical data in the database. This new data
type offers built-in support for representing your hierarchical data using one of the simplest
models available: materialized paths
Hierarchyid Data Type Methods
SQL Material
76
Method Description
GetAncestor(n) Retrieves the nth ancestor of the hierarchyid
node instance
GetDescendent(n) Retrieves the nth descendent of the hierarchyid
node instance
GetLevel() Gets the level of the hierarchyid node instance
in the hierarchy
GetRoot() Gets the root node of the hierarchyid instance
in the hierarchy
IsDescendent(node) Returns 1 if a specified node is descendent
Parse(String) Converts the given canonical string, in forward
slash- separated format to a hierarchyid path.
Reparent(old_root,new_root) Reparents a node by moving nodes from
old_root to new_root
ToString() Converts a hierarchyid instance to a canonical
forward slash-separated string representation
5. The Spatial Data Type
SQL Server 2008 includes two new data types for storing, querying, and manipulating spatial
data.
 Geometry
 Geography
Geometry data type is designed to represent flat-earth, or Euclidean, spatial data.
Geography data type supports round earth or ellipsoidal, spatial data.
