Chapter 2:Creating and Modifying Database Tables

Database Objects An Oracle database consists of
multiple user accounts Each user account owns database
objects Tables Views Stored programs Etc.

Query: command to perform operation on database object Create Modify View Delete
Structured Query Language (SQL) Standard query language for
relational databases
Database Queries
![Page 4: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

SQL Command Types Data Definition Language (DDL)
Used to create and modify the structure of database objects
Data Manipulation Language (DML) Used to insert, update, delete, and
view database data
![Page 5: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
DDL Commands Used to create and modify the
structure of database objects CREATE ALTER DROP
DDL commands execute as soon as they are issued, and do not need to be explicitly saved
![Page 6: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6
DML Commands Used to insert, view, and modify
database data INSERT UPDATE DELETE SELECT
DML commands need to be explicitly saved or rolled back COMMIT ROLLBACK

User Accounts Each Oracle database user has a
user schema Area in the database where the user’s
database objects are stored Identified by a unique username and
protected by a password Each user schema is granted
specific privileges
![Page 8: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8
Types of Database Privileges System Privileges
Control the operations that the user can perform within the database
Connecting to the database (Create Session), creating new tables, shutting down the database, etc.
Object Privileges Granted on individual database objects Controls operations that a user can perform on a
specific object (insert data, delete data, etc.) When you create an object in your user schema,
you can then grant object privileges on that object to other database users
![Page 9: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Oracle Naming Standard Oracle database objects must
adhere to the Oracle Naming Standard 1 to 30 characters long Must begin with a character Can contain characters, numbers, and
the symbols $, _, and #
![Page 10: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Must follow the Oracle Naming Standard
Each table in a user schema must have a unique name within that user schema
Each field in a table must have a unique name within that table

Creating a Database Table
![Page 29: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Constraints Rules that restrict the values that
can be inserted into a field Types of constraints
Integrity: define primary and foreign keys
Value: specify values or ranges of values that can be inserted
![Page 30: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Constraint Levels Table constraint
Restricts the value of a field with respect to all other table records
Example: primary key value must be unique for each record
Column constraint Restricts values in a specific column Example: values in an S_GENDER
field must be ‘M’ or ‘F’
![Page 31: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Internal name used by DBMS to identify the constraint
Each constraint name in a user schema must be unique
If you do not name a constraint, the system will automatically generate an unintuitive name
Constraint Names
![Page 32: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Constraint naming convention:tablename_fieldname_constraintID
Constraint ID values: Primary key: pk Foreign key: fk Check condition: cc Not NULL: nn Unique: uk
Example constraint name:my_students_s_id_pk

36
Syntax:CONSTRAINT constraint_name
PRIMARY KEY (field1, field2)
Must be defined after fields that compose key are defined
Composite Primary Keys

Table-level Can only be defined after field is
defined as a primary key in another table
Syntax:CONSTRAINT constraint_name
REFERENCES primary_key_table_name (field_name)
Foreign Key Constraints
![Page 38: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

40
Column-level Restricts data values that can be
inserted in a field In general, avoid value constraints
because they make the database very inflexible
Value Constraints
![Page 41: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Check condition: restricts to specific values Example: s_gender (M or F)CONSTRAINT my_students_s_gender_ccCHECK (s_gender = ‘M’) OR (s_gender = ‘F’)
Not NULL: specifies that a field cannot be NULL Example: CONSTRAINT my_students_s_dob_nnNOT NULL
Types of Value Constraints
![Page 42: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42
Default: specifies a default value that is inserted automatically Example:s_state CHAR(2) DEFAULT ‘WI’
Unique Table constraint Specifies that a non-primary key field must have a
unique value CONSTRAINT consultant_c_email_uk UNIQUE (c_email)
Types of Value Constraints

Oracle Data Dictionary Contains tables that describe the
database structure Is in the SYSTEM user schema
Is automatically updated as users create and modify tables Cannot be updated directly
Contains views that allow users to retrieve information about the database structure
![Page 49: Guide to Oracle 10g](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813615550346895d9d8bbe/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
