Creation of tblEmployee table

CREATE TABLE tblEmployee
(
EmployeeNumber INT NOT NULL,
EmployeeFirstName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
EmployeeMiddleName VARCHAR(50) NULL,
EmployeeLastName VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
EmployeeGovernmentID CHAR(10) NULL,
DateOfBirth DATE NOT NULL
)

Adding additional columns

ALTER TABLE tblEmployee
ADD Department VARCHAR(10);

SELECT * FROM tblEmployee

INSERT INTO tblEmployee

VALUES (132, 'Dylan', 'A', 'Word', 'HN513777D', '19920914', 'Customer Relations')

ALTER TABLE tblEmployee

DROP COLUMN Department

ALTER TABLE tblEmployee

ADD Department VARCHAR(15)

ALTER TABLE tblEmployee

ALTER COLUMN Department VARCHAR(20)

ALTER TABLE tblEmployee

ALTER COLUMN Department VARCHAR(19)

SELECT LEN( 'Customer Relations')

INSERT INTO tblEmployee([EmployeeFirstName],[EmployeeMiddleName],

[EmployeeLastName],[EmployeeGovernmentID],[DateOfBirth],[Department],[EmployeeNumber])
VALUES ('Jossef', 'H', 'Wright', 'TX593671R', '19711224', 'Litigation',131)

INSERT INTO tblEmployee

VALUES (1, 'Dylan', 'A', 'Word', 'HN513777D', '19920914', 'Customer Relations'),
(2,'Jossef', 'H', 'Wright', 'TX593671R', '19711224', 'Litigation')

WHERE and LIKE

select * from tblEmployee
where [EmployeeLastName] <> 'Word'

select * from tblEmployee

where [EmployeeLastName] like '_W%'

Select * from tblEmployee

where [EmployeeLastName] like '[r-t]%'

Select * from tblEmployee

where [EmployeeLastName] like '[^rst]%'

-- % = 0-infinity characters
-- _ = 1 character
-- [A-G] = In the range A-G.
-- [AGQ] = A, G or Q.
-- [^AGQ] = NOT A, G or Q.

select * from tblEmployee

where EmployeeLastName like '[%]%'

select * from tblEmployee

where EmployeeLastName like '`%%' ESCAPE '`'

SELECTing only part of a table – numbers

select * from tblEmployee
where not EmployeeNumber>200

select * from tblEmployee

where EmployeeNumber!=200

select * from tblEmployee

where EmployeeNumber>=200 and EmployeeNumber<=209

select * from tblEmployee

where not (EmployeeNumber>=200 and EmployeeNumber<=209)

select * from tblEmployee

where EmployeeNumber<200 or EmployeeNumber>209

select * from tblEmployee

where EmployeeNumber between 200 and 209

select * from tblEmployee

where EmployeeNumber not between 200 and 209

select * from tblEmployee

where EmployeeNumber in (200, 204, 208)

Summarising an ordering data

select * from tblEmployee
where DateOfBirth between '19760101' and '19861231'

select * from tblEmployee

where DateOfBirth >= '19760101' and DateOfBirth < '19870101'

select * from tblEmployee

where year(DateOfBirth) between 1976 and 1986 -- DO NOT USE.

SELECT year(DateOfBirth) as YearOfDateOfBirth, count(*) as NumberBorn

FROM tblEmployee
GROUP BY year(DateOfBirth)

SELECT * FROM tblEmployee

where year(DateOfBirth) = 1967

SELECT year(DateOfBirth) as YearOfDateOfBirth, count(*) as NumberBorn

FROM tblEmployee
WHERE 1=1
GROUP BY year(DateOfBirth)
-- non-deterministic

SELECT year(DateOfBirth) as YearOfDateOfBirth, count(*) as NumberBorn

FROM tblEmployee
WHERE 1=1
GROUP BY year(DateOfBirth)
ORDER BY year(DateOfBirth) DESC
-- deterministic

Criteria on summarised data

select left(EmployeeLastName,1) as Initial, count(*) as CountOfInitial
from tblEmployee
group by left(EmployeeLastName,1)
order by count(*) DESC --left(EmployeeLastName,1)

select top(5) left(EmployeeLastName,1) as Initial, count(*) as CountOfInitial

from tblEmployee
group by left(EmployeeLastName,1)
order by count(*) DESC --left(EmployeeLastName,1)

select left(EmployeeLastName,1) as Initial, count(*) as CountOfInitial

from tblEmployee
where DateOfBirth > '19860101'
group by left(EmployeeLastName,1)
having count(*)>=20
order by CountOfInitial DESC

Exercise
COUNT(EmployeeMiddleName) as NumberOfMiddleNames,
count(*)-count(EmployeeMiddleName) as NoMiddleName,
format(min(DateOfBirth),'dd-MM-yy') as EarliestDateOfBirth,
format(max(DateOfBirth),'D') as LatestDateOfBirth
FROM tblEmployee
GROUP BY DATENAME(MONTH,DateOfBirth), DATEPART(MONTH,DateOfBirth)
ORDER BY DATEPART(MONTH,DateOfBirth)

Different Types of JOIN

select tblEmployee.EmployeeNumber, EmployeeFirstName, EmployeeLastName, sum(Amount) as
SumOfAmount
from tblEmployee left join tblTransaction

on tblEmployee.EmployeeNumber = tblTransaction.EmployeeNumber
GROUP BY tblEmployee.EmployeeNumber, EmployeeFirstName, EmployeeLastName
ORDER BY EmployeeNumber

select * from tblEmployee

select * from tblTransaction where EmployeeNumber = 1046

Creating a third table

select Department as NumberOfDepartments
into tblDepartment2
from
(select Department, count(*) as NumberPerDepartment
from tblEmployee
GROUP BY Department) as newTable

--derived table

select distinct Department, convert(varchar(20), N'') as DepartmentHead

into tblDepartment
from tblEmployee

drop table tblDepartment

select * from tblDepartment

alter table tblDepartment

alter column DepartmentHead varchar(30) null

JOINING three tables

select DepartmentHead, sum(Amount) as SumOfAmount
from tblDepartment
left join tblEmployee
on tblDepartment.Department = tblEmployee.Department
left join tblTransaction
on tblEmployee.EmployeeNumber = tblTransaction.EmployeeNumber
group by DepartmentHead
order by DepartmentHead

insert into tblDepartment(Department,DepartmentHead)

values ('Accounts', 'James')

select D.DepartmentHead, Sum(T.Amount) as SumOfAmount

from tblDepartment as D
left join tblEmployee as E
on D.Department = E.Department
left join tblTransaction T
on E.EmployeeNumber = T.EmployeeNumber
group by D.DepartmentHead
order by D.DepartmentHead
