MySQL DATABASE The CREATE DATABASE statement is used to create a new SQL database. Syntax: CREATE DATABASE databasename ; CREATE DATABASE testDB; The DROP DATABASE statement is used to drop an existing SQL database. Syntax: DROP DATABASE databasename ; DROP DATABASE testDB; The CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a new table in a database. Syntax: CREATE TABLE table_name ( column1 datatype , column2 datatype , column3 datatype , .... ); CREATE TABLE Persons ( PersonID int, LastName varchar(255), FirstName varchar(255), Address varchar(255), City varchar(255) ); The DROP TABLE statement is used to drop an existing table in a database. Syntax: DROP TABLE table_name ; DROP TABLE Shippers; The ALTER TABLE statement is used to add, delete, or modify columns in an existing table. The ALTER TABLE statement is also used to add and drop various constraints on an existing table. ALTER TABLE - ADD Column To add a column in a table, use the following syntax: ALTER TABLE table_name ADD column_name datatype ; ALTER TABLE Customers ADD Email varchar (255); ALTER TABLE - DROP COLUMN To delete a column in a table, use the following syntax (notice that some database systems don't allow deleting a column): ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name ; ALTER TABLE Customers DROP COLUMN Email; ALTER TABLE - MODIFY COLUMN To change the data type of a column in a table, use the following syntax: ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY COLUMN column_name datatype ; ALTER TABLE Persons ADD DateOfBirth date; DROP COLUMN Example Next, we want to delete the column named "DateOfBirth" in the "Persons" table. We use the following SQL statement: Example ALTER TABLE Persons DROP COLUMN DateOfBirth;
The MySQL SELECT Statement The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database. The data returned is stored in a result table, called the result-set. SELECT Syntax: SELECT column1 , column2, ... FROM table_name ; SELECT * FROM table_name ; To only display needed column: SELECT UserID FROM tbl_admin
; SELECT * FROM tbl_admin
; The MySQL WHERE Clause The WHERE clause is used to filter records. It is used to extract only those records that fulfill a specified condition. WHERE Syntax: SELECT column1 , column2, ... FROM table_name WHERE condition ; SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE Country = 'Mexico';
