    SQL Acronyms and Concepts

    • DDL stands for Data Definition Language, used for defining database structures.
    • DML stands for Data Manipulation Language, used for manipulating data.
    • DCL stands for Data Control Language, used for controlling access and permissions.

    SQL Commands and Constraints

    • The SQL command DROP TABLE is used to permanently remove a table and its data.
    • The SAVEPOINT command is used to make a temporary backup of the current state of a transaction.
    • The UNIQUE constraint is used to ensure that a column does not contain any duplicate values.

    SQL Queries and Operators

    • The NOT operator is used to negate a condition in a query.
    • The IN operator is used to select rows that match any value in a list.
    • The LIKE operator is used to select rows that match a pattern.
    • The IS NULL condition is used to select rows where a column is null.

    SQL Query Results

    • A query with a WHERE clause and a specific value (e.g. Emp_ID = 2) will return a single row that matches the condition.
    • A query with an IN operator will return rows that match any value in the list.
    • A query with a LIKE operator will return rows that match the pattern (e.g. Emp_Name Like 'A%' will return rows where the employee name starts with 'A').
    • A query with a range condition (e.g. Salary Between 4000 And 6000) will return rows that fall within the specified range.
    • Aggregate functions (e.g. MAX, MIN, AVG) can be used to calculate aggregate values for a column.
