RELATIONAL MODEL AND SQL

Relational model concepts -- Integrity

constraints -- SQL Data manipulation – SQL

Data definition –Views -- SQL programming.


• A View in SQL is simply a virtual table created based
on a result set of another SQL statement.
• Views were introduced to reduce the complexity of
multiple tables and deliver data in a simple manner.
• Views help us maintain data integrity and provide
security to the data, thus acting as a security
mechanism.
Use of Views in SQL

• Views were introduced to reduce the complexity of the

multiple tables and deliver data in a simple manner.

• Views hide the complexity of the data in the database as they

join and simplify multiple tables into a single virtual table,

which is easier for a user to understand.


• Views also maintain data integrity as it presents
a consistent and accurate image of the data from the database
even if the underlying source is restructured, renamed,
or split.
• It can automatically check the data which a user or any other
third party is trying to access meets the conditions mentioned
in the views to maintain accuracy while displaying data.
SQL Creating a View:
CREATE VIEW syntax :
• CREATE VIEW view_name AS SELECT column1,
column2...column N FROM table1, table2...table N WHERE
condition;
• To see the data in the view, we can query the view using the
following SELECT statement:
• SELECT * FROM [view_name];
• Table 1 (ScalerCourses)
No Name Duration CourseLanguage Cost(Rs)

1 Python Foundation 3-4 months English 1500

2 Django 5 months English 1000

3 C++ 4-5 months Hindi 500

4 Interview Preparation 6 months English 1800

5 Node Js 6 months Hindi 2500


• Table 2 (AuthorDetails)

Synax:
CREATE VIEW CourseView AS
SELECT Name, Duration
FROM ScalerCourses
WHERE Cost < 2000;
SELECT * FROM CourseView;
The output of the above query:
Name Duration

Python Foundation 3-4 months

Django 5 months

C++ 4-5months

Interview Preparation 6 months


• SQL Updating a View
• CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW CourseView AS SELECT
Name, Duration, CourseLanguage FROM ScalerCourses
WHERE Cost < 2000;
SELECT * FROM CourseView;
Output for the above statements is as follows:
Name Duration Course Language

Python Foundation 3-4 months English

Django 5 months English

C++ 4-5months Hindi

Interview
6 months English
Preparation
Inserting Rows in a View
• INSERT INTO CourseView(Name, Duration)
VALUES(“Java”, “4 months”);
• The following will be the data stored in our view after
executing the above query.
Name Duration
Python Foundation 3-4 months
Django 5 months
C++ 4-5months
Interview Preparation 6 months
Java 4 months
• Deleting Rows into a View
• DELETE FROM CourseView
WHERE Name = “Python Foundation”;
The data after executing the above query looks as follows.

Name Duration

Django 5 months

C++ 4-5months

Interview Preparation 6 months

Java 4 months
• SQL Dropping a View
DROP VIEW view_name;
For Example:
DROP VIEW CourseView;
• CREATE VIEW CourseView AS
SELECT Name, Duration
FROM ScalerCourses
WHERE Cost < 2000
WITH CHECK OPTION;
Now, if anyone inserts a new value to the view, it can be done as
follows:
INSERT INTO CourseView(Name, Duration, Cost)
VALUES(“Ruby”, “7 months”, 3000);
The above statement inserted a row that makes the condition in the
WHERE clause (Cost<2000) not true. This did not follow the
condition mentioned, so the following error message will be shown.
Error Code: 1369. CHECK OPTION failed
'classicmodels.CourseView'
• Managing SQL Views
• For managing the views, there are different aspects which
were quite explained well in the above topics like:
• Creating Views
• Updating Views(Replacing Views)
• Inserting Rows
• Renaming Views
• Deleting Views(Drop Statement)
• Listing Views(By querying we can list all the views in the
Database)
• Types of Views in SQL
• 1. System Defined View
The System Defined Views are always, accordingly, linked to
some User-Defined databases.
Information Schema View
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CourseView
where TABLE_NAME='ScalerCourses‘
• Output:
All the rows and columns of the particular table (i.e.,
ScalerCourses here) which are selected are displayed. It displays
the “detailed information” of that table.
• Catalog View :
select * from sys.databases
Output:
Dynamic Management View:
Output:
2. User Defined View
• Simple View – Such views are created based on a
single table. In simple views, all such operations of
update, delete, etc., are possible.
• Creating a View from a single table is discussed
below for your further understanding.
• Complex View – On the other hand, if a view is created from

more than one table, it is called a complex view.

• Such views can contain group data. Moreover, in a complex

view, all such operations of update, delete and insert are

impossible
• Creating Views from Multiple Tables
• CREATE VIEW CourseView AS SELECT

ScalerCourses.Name, ScalerCourses.Duration,

AuthorDetails.Author

FROM ScalerCourses, AuthorDetails

WHERE Cost < 2000;

• SELECT * FROM CourseView;
