1 SQL Integrity Constraints - Required data - Domain constraints - Entity integrity - Referential integrity - General constraints Required data - Ensures every tuple has a non-null value for an attribute - In the attribute definition, Salary NUMBER(6) NOT NULL - As a constraint, CONSTRAINT must_have_salary CHECK (Salary IS NOT NULL) Domain constraints - Restrict domain of an attribute beyond the datatype - In the attribute definition Sex CHAR NOT NULL CHECK ( Sex IN ( M, F ) ) - As a constraint CONSTRAINT salary_too_big CHECK (Salary < ) Entity integrity - Defines a primary key or a candidate key - In an attribute definition Id NUMBER(9) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY - As a separate line (better) PRIMARY KEY (DeptCode, CourseNum) - As a constraint (even better) CONSTRAINT student_id_not_unique PRIMARY KEY (Id) CONSTRAINT crn_year_not_unique UNIQUE (crn, year) Referential integrity - Defines foreign keys to other relations - In an attribute definition DeptCode VARCHAR(4) REFERENCES Dept(DeptCode) - As a separate line (better) FOREIGN KEY (crn, year) REFERENCES Section(crn, year) - As a constraint (even better) CONSTRAINT no_matching_section FOREIGN KEY (crn,year) REFERENCES Section(crn, year) General Constraints - Can add more general CHECK clauses with general conditions - Conditions can include queries

2 Referential Integrity with Insert/Update - Foreign key constraint can include two restrictions when changes made to parent ON DELETE option ON UPDATE option - Option can be any one of four CASCADE delete/update rows in child table SET NULL set child attributes to NULL SET DEFAULT set child attributes to default value NO ACTION reject delete/update operation on parent if referenced by child SQL Query Syntax SELECT [DISTINCT ALL] { * [ column_expr [AS new_name] ] [, ] } FROM table_name [ alias ] [, ] [WHERE condition ] [GROUP BY column_list ] [ HAVING condition ] [ORDER BY column_name { ASC DESC } [, ] ] DISTINCT eliminates duplicate tuples ALL all tuples (including duplicates) default * - all attributes / fields column_expr - Attributes - Math expressions on attributes, e.g. salary / 12 - Aggregates COUNT, SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN can only be used in SELECT or HAVING - Date and String Functions - Relationals, Booleans, BETWEEN, IN, NOT IN, IS NULL, IS NOT NULL, LIKE ORDER BY ascending order of fields sorted in order given DESC to descending order of particular column Using Aggregates If SELECT includes aggregate and no GROUP BY is used, No item in SELECT list can include reference to column not in aggregate e.g. SELECT sno, COUNT(salary) FROM Staff; is illegal Be careful with DISTINCT and aggregates - Count, avg, sum only includes DISTINCT occurrences

3 GROUP BY - Treats nulls as equal When GROUP BY is used, each item in SELECT list must be single-valued per group. SELECT clause can only contain - Attribute names if also in group by clause - Aggregates on anything - Constants - Expressions including the above e.g. SELECT bno, COUNT(sno) AS count, SUM(salary) as sum FROM staff GROUP BY bno ORDER BY bno HAVING - Restricting groups that appear in result - Column names must appear in GROUP BY or be in aggregates e.g. HAVING count > 1 SUBQUERIES - Inner SELECT statement used in WHERE and HAVING clauses Subquery with equality, >, <, >=, <=, <>,!= must reference single value WHERE salary = ( SELECT MAX(salary) FROM Otherwise use IN WHERE salary IN (SELECT salary FROM NOT IN ( SELECT > ANY ( SELECT < ALL ( SELECT EXISTS WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM e.g. SELECT LName, FName FROM Student s WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM Enroll e WHERE s.id = e.id AND e.deptcode = CSCI );

4 SQL Subquery Rules - For subqueries in WHERE or HAVING clause 1. No ORDER BY clause in the subquery 2. SELECT list of subquery must be single column, unless being tested with EXISTS 3. Column name in subquery refers to tables in subquery by default, must qualify to reach outer tables 4. Subquery must be right-hand side of comparison operator e.g. year = (SELECT ) not (SELECT ) = year View - The dynamic result of one or more relational operations operating on the base relations to produce another relation - Virtual relation does not exist in the database but can be produced upon request CREATE VIEW vname [ (newcolname [, ] ) ] AS subselect [ WITH CHECK OPTION ] - View is defined by specifying an SQL SELECT statement (defining query) - Can optionally assign a name to each column of the view (instead of using default one) o If so, must list same number of names as columns returned by subquery - WITH CHECK OPTION causes SQL to ensure that changes to elements of view that result in updates to base table do not remove tuples from the view based on the subselect Horizontal view restricts user s access to selected rows of one or more tables CREATE VIEW math11 AS SELECT * FROM cs.section WHERE deptcode = MATH AND year = 2011; Vertical view restricts user s access to selected columns of one or more tables CREATE VIEW math11nums AS SELECT CourseNo, SNo FROM math11; CREATE VIEW math11courses AS SELECT DISTINCT CourseNo FROM math11nums; Check option: CREATE VIEW highgrades AS cannot UPDATE highgrades SELECT * SET grade = 89 FROM cs.enroll WHERE ID = ; WHERE grade > 90 WITH CHECK OPTION; would remove it from view integrity constraint

5 Restrictions on Views (ISO Standard) Aggregates - If a column in a view is based on an aggregate function, then column may only appear in SELECT and ORDER BY clauses of queries that access th view - Such a column may not be used in a WHERE clause and may not be argument to another aggregate function in any query based on the view - Oracle allows it CREATE VIEW MathSectionCount AS SELECT CourseNo, COUNT(*) AS Offerings FROM math11nums GROUP BY CourseNo; Groupings - A grouped view can never be joined with another table or view - Oracle allows it View Updatability - DBMS must be able to trace any row or column back to its row/column in source table According to the ISO Standard, view is updatable iff in the defining query: - DISTINCT is not specified o duplicates are not eliminated - SELECT list contains only column names (and only appears once) o No constants, expressions, or aggregate functions - FROM clause specifies only one table (or view satisfying the condition) o No joins, unions, intersections, or differences - WHERE clause does not include nested SELECTs that reference table in FROM clause o No subqueries in view - GROUP BY or HAVING clauses are not specified Also, any rows added to view must not violate integrity constraints of base tables View Resolution resolving query on View to query on base tables Merge the two queries by: 1. View column names in FROM are replaced with base table names 2. View names in FROM are replaced with base table names 3. WHERE clauses are combined 4. GROUP BY and HAVING clauses are combined 5. ORDER BY clause is copied

6 View Advantages Data independence structure does not change even if underlying tables change (just view definition) may have to redefine view based on new structure of underlying tables Currency changes immediately reflected in view (as opposed to copying part of table) Customization different users see data in different ways Improved security restrict access via small set of views containing data appropriate for user Reduced complexity combine tables via view so queries can be done simply on view Convenience only confronted with necessary data / structure Data integrity WITH CHECK OPTION allows conditions defining view to be enforced on update to view View Disadvantages Update restriction some cases cannot be updated Structure restriction view structure determined at time of creation structure not automatically updated e.g. view of form SELECT * FROM refers to columns of base table, at time of creation adding columns to table(s) later does not add them to view Performance view resolution takes time
