Database Modifications
•
A modification command does not return a result as a
query does, but it changes the database in some way.
•
There are three kinds of modifications:
1.
2.
3.
Insert a tuple or tuples.
Delete a tuple or tuples.
Update the value(s) of an existing tuple or tuples.
Insertion
•
To insert a single tuple:
INSERT INTO <relation>
VALUES ( <list of values> );
Example
• Consider MovieExec(name, address, cert#, netWorth)
INSERT INTO MovieExec
VALUES('Melanie Griffith', '34 Boston Blvd', 700, 300000);
Specifying Attributes in INSERT
•
We may add to the relation name a list of attributes.
INSERT INTO MovieExec(name, address, cert, netWorth)
VALUES('Melanie Griffith', NULL, 700, 3000000);
•
There are two reasons to do so:
1. We forget the standard order of attributes for the relation.
2. We don’t have values for all attributes.
Inserting Many Tuples
•
We may insert the entire result of a query into a relation, using the form:
INSERT INTO <relation>
( <subquery> );
Example
CREATE TABLE DisneyMovies(
name VARCHAR2(25),
year INT
);
INSERT INTO DisneyMovies
(SELECT title, year
FROM Movie
WHERE studioName = 'Disney'
);
Deletion
•
To delete tuples satisfying a condition from some relation:
DELETE FROM <relation>
WHERE <condition>;
Example
• Delete from the Movie table the Disney’s movies:
DELETE FROM Movie
WHERE studioName ='Disney';
Example: Delete all Tuples
• Make the relation Movie empty:
DELETE FROM Movie;
• No WHERE clause needed here.
Updates
•
To change certain attributes in certain tuples of a relation:
UPDATE <relation>
SET <list of attribute assignments>
WHERE <condition on tuples>;
Example
• Change the length of 'Godzilla' to 200.
UPDATE Movie
SET length = 200
WHERE title = 'Godzilla';
Another Example
•
•
Suppose that Brown’s movies have approximately 20 min of info before
starting.
So, let’s take that 20 min off.
UPDATE Movie
SET length = length - 20
WHERE (title, year) IN
(SELECT title, year
FROM Movie, Movieexec
WHERE Movie.producerc = Movieexec.cert
AND name = 'Brown');
Exercise
Product(maker, model, type)
PC(model, speed, ram, hd, rd, price)
Laptop(model, speed, ram, hd, screen, price)
Printer(model, color, type, price)
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
g)
Using two INSERT statements, store in the database the fact that PC model 1100 is made by
manufacturer C, has speed 1800, RAM 256, hard disk 80, a 20x DVD, and sells for $2499.
Insert the facts that for every PC there is a laptop with the same manufacturer, speed, RAM and
hard disk, a 15-inch screen, a model number 1000 greater, and a price $500 more.
Delete all PC’s with less than 20 GB of hard disk.
Delete all laptops made a manufacturer that doesn’t make printers.
Manufacturer A buys manufacturer B. Change all products made by B so they are now made by A.
For each PC, double the amount of RAM and add 20 GB to the amount of hard disk.
For each laptop made by manufacturer B, add one inch to the screen size and subtract $100 from
the price.
Data Types
• The principal element in a table creation is a pair consisting of an
attribute and a type.
• The most common types are:
– INT or INTEGER (synonyms).
– REAL
– FLOAT
– CHAR(n ) = fixed-length string of n characters.
– VARCHAR(n ) = variable-length string of up to n characters.
– DATE
Example: Create Table
CREATE TABLE Movie(
title CHAR(20),
year INT,
length INT,
inColor CHAR(1),
studioName CHAR(20),
producerC INT,
PRIMARY KEY (title, year)
);
Oracle NUMBER
•
NUMBER(p,s), where:
– p is the precision, which in ORACLE is the total number of digits.
– s is the scale, which in ORACLE is the number of digits to the right of the decimal
point.
– If the scale is negative, the actual data is rounded to the specified number of
places to the left of the decimal point.

NUMBER(15,1) 7456123.8
NUMBER(7,-2) 7456100
NUMBER(7,2)
exceeds precision
•
•
•
CREATE TABLE A1( attrib
NUMBER(3,2) );
INSERT INTO A1 VALUES(100);
What happens?
•
NUMBER(p) is equivalent to
NUMBER(p,0).
INT is a synonym for
NUMBER(38), i.e. NUMBER(38,0)
A NUMBER(5) is not any different
from a NUMBER(38) space-wise.
– The 5 is just an "edit", a
format, an integrity constraint.
It doesn’t affect the physical
storage at all.
In absence of precision and scale,
the default is the maximum range
and precision for an Oracle
number.
Dates and Times
•
•
DATE and TIME are types in SQL.
No TIME type in ORACLE, but DATE also keeps the time.
CREATE TABLE Movie(
title CHAR(20),
year INT,
length INT,
inColor CHAR(1),
studioName CHAR(20),
producerC INT,
my_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE,
PRIMARY KEY (title, year)
);
Getting a Date in/out
INSERT INTO Movie(title, year, length, inColor, studioName, producerC, my_date)
VALUES('Godzilla', 1998, 120.45, 'C', 'Paramount', 123, '12-Feb-1998');
INSERT INTO Movie(title, year, length, inColor, studioName, producerC, my_date)
VALUES('Pretty Woman', 1990, 120, 'C', 'Disney', 234, '13-09-90');
VALUES('Pretty Woman', 1990, 120, 'C', 'Disney', 234, '13-09-90')
*
ORA-01843: not a valid month
INSERT INTO Movie(title, year, length, inColor, studioName, producerC, my_date)
VALUES('Pretty Woman', 1990, 120, 'C', 'Disney', 234, TO_DATE('13-09-90', 'dd-mm-yy'));
Getting a Date in/out (II)
Getting the date and time out:
SELECT TO_CHAR(my_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY:HH:MI:SS')
FROM Movie;

Adding/Deleting/Modifying Attributes
ALTER TABLE MovieExec ADD salary INT;
ALTER TABLE MovieExec ADD
phone CHAR(16) DEFAULT 'unlisted';
ALTER TABLE MovieExec DROP COLUMN phone;
ALTER TABLE MovieExec MODIFY phone CHAR(18);
Also in ORACLE:
ALTER TABLE starsIN RENAME COLUMN title TO movieTitle;
Views
•
•
•
A view is a “virtual table,” a relation that is defined in terms of the contents of
other tables and views.
Declare by:
CREATE VIEW <name> AS <query>;
In contrast, a relation whose value is really stored in the database is called a
base table.
Example
CREATE VIEW DisneyMovie AS
SELECT title, year, producerC
FROM Movie
WHERE studioName = 'Disney';
Accessing a View
•
Query a view as if it were a base table.
Examples
SELECT title
FROM DisneyMovie
WHERE year = 1973;
SELECT DISTINCT name
FROM DisneyMovie, MovieExec
WHERE producerC = cert;
View on more than one relation;
renaming the attributes
CREATE VIEW MovieProd(movieTitle, movieYear, prodName) AS
SELECT title, year, name
FROM Movie, MovieExec
WHERE producerc = cert;
Same as:
CREATE VIEW MovieProd2 AS
SELECT title AS movieTitle, year AS movieYear, name AS prodName
FROM Movie, MovieExec
WHERE producerc = cert;
Updateable Views
Only when:
1.
There is only one relation, say R, in the FROM clause (of the query
defining the view).
2.
There isn’t a subquery involving R in the WHERE clause (of the
query defining the view).
Not a problem for ORACLE.
3.
The list in the SELECT clause includes enough attributes that for
every tuple inserted into the view, we can fill the other attributes out
with NULL or the default, and have a tuple that will yield the inserted
tuple in the view.
This is only checked for views defined WITH CHECK OPTION.
CREATE VIEW ParamountMovie AS
SELECT title, year
FROM Movie
WHERE studioName = 'Paramount'
WITH CHECK OPTION;
INSERT INTO ParamountMovie
VALUES ('Star Trek', 1979);
This insertion will fail!
Why this insertion is not possible?
The rationale for this behavior is:
• The above insertion, were it allowed to get through, would insert a
tuple with NULL for studioName in the underlying Movie table.
• However, such a tuple doesn't satisfy the condition for being in the
ParamountMovie view!
• Thus, it shouldn't be allowed to get into the database through the
ParamountMovie view.
CREATE VIEW ParamountMovie2 AS
SELECT studioName, title, year
FROM Movie
WHERE studioName = 'Paramount'
WITH CHECK OPTION;
INSERT INTO ParamountMovie2
VALUES ('Paramount', 'Star Trek', 1979);
Now it succeeds. Why?
Deleting
DELETE FROM ParamountMovies
WHERE year=2008;
is translated into
DELETE FROM Movie
WHERE year=2008 AND studioName='Paramount';
Updating
UPDATE ParamountMovies
SET year = 1979
WHERE title= 'Star Trek the Movie';
is equivalent to the base-table update
UPDATE Movies
SET year = 1979
WHERE title = 'Star Trek the Movie' AND
studioName = 'Paramount';
Materialized Views
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MovieProd AS
SELECT title, year, name
FROM Movie, MovieExec
WHERE producerC =cert;
• Useful to speed up queries
• In principle, the DBMS needs to recompute a materialized
view every time one of its base tables changes in any way.
• However, there are a number opportunities to do only
incremental changes.
Example
• Suppose we insert a new movie into Movie, say
– title = 'Kill Bill', year = 2003, and producerC = 23456.
• Then we only need to look up
– cert=23456 in MovieExec.
– Since cert is the key for MovieExec, there can be at most
one name returned by the query
SELECT name FROM MovieExec
WHERE cert = 23456;
• As this query returns name = 'Quentin Tarantino', the
DBMS can insert the proper tuple into MovieProd by:
INSERT INTO MovieProd
VALUES('Kill Bill', 2003, 'Quentin Tarantino');
Example
• Suppose we delete a movie from Movies, say the movie
with
– title ='Dumb&Dumber' and year = 1994.
• The DBMS has only to delete this one movie from
MovieProd by:
DELETE FROM MovieProd
WHERE title = 'Dumb & Dumber' AND year = 1994;
Example
• Suppose we insert a tuple into MovieExec, and that tuple
has
– cert=34567 and name = 'MaxBialystock'.
• Then the DBMS may have to insert into MovieProd some
movies that were not there because their producer was
previously unknown. The operation is:
INSERT INTO MovieProd
SELECT title, year, 'Max Bialystock'
FROM Movie
WHERE producerC = 34567;
Example
• Suppose we delete the tuple with cert=45678 from
MovieExec.
• Then the DBMS must delete from MovieProd all movies
that have producerC=45678.
• Thus, the DBMS executes:
DELETE FROM MovieProd
WHERE (title, year) IN
(SELECT title, year
FROM Movie
WHERE producerC =45678);
Rewriting Queries to Use Materialized
Views
• A materialized view can be referred to in the FROM clause
of a query, just as a virtual view can.
• However, because a materialized view is stored in the
database, it is good to try rewriting a query to use a
materialized view, even if that view was not mentioned in
the query as written.
• Such a rewriting may enable the query to execute much
faster.
Example
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW MovieProd AS
SELECT title, year, name
FROM Movie, MovieExec
WHERE producerC =cert;
• Consider query Q that asks for the names of the stars of
movies produced by Max Bialystock.
Movie(title, year, length, genre, studioName, producerC)
StarsIn(movieTitle, movie Year, starName)
MovieExec(name, address, cert, net Worth)
SELECT starName
FROM StarsIn, Movies, MovieExec
WHERE movieTitle = title AND movie Year = year AND
producerC=cert AND name = 'Max Bialystock';
Example
• View-Based Rewriting:
SELECTstarName
FROM StarsIn,MovieProd
WHERE movieTitle =title AND movieYear =year AND
name= 'Max Bialystock';
