PRIMARY KEY
A Primary Key is a column or combination of columns whose values uniquely identify a
row or record in the table.
Examples for specifying a Primary Key,

CREATE table table_name

(
id integer PRIMARY KEY,
FirstName varchar(30),
LastName varchar(30) );

CREATE table table_name

(
id integer, FirstName
varchar(30), LastName
varchar(30), PRIMARY KEY
(id) );

CREATE table table_name (

id integer PRIMARY KEY,
FirstName varchar(30),
LastName varchar(30) );

ALTER TABLE table_name

ADD PRIMARY KEY (id);

FOREIGN KEY
A FOREIGN KEY in one table points to a PRIMARY KEY in another table.
Examples for specifying a Foreign key when creating a table (using CREATE TABLE)
or by changing the existing table structure (using ALTER TABLE).

Table1: Student

Column Name

Datatype

Sid

integer

LastName

varchar

FirstName

Create table Book (

BookId integer PRIMARY KEY,
BookName varchar(30),
Amount integer,
Student_Sid interger
references Student(Sid));

Create table Book (

BookId integer,
BookName varchar(30),
Student_Sid integer,
Amount integer,
Primary Key (BookId),
Foreign Key (Student_Sid)
references Student(Sid));

Create table Book (

BookId integer PRIMARY KEY,
BookName varchar(30),
Amount integer,
Student_Sid integer
references Student(Sid));

Specifying a

by Altering a
table

ALTER table Book ADD

FOREIGN KEY (Student_Sid)
references Student(Sid);

ALTER table Book ADD

FOREIGN KEY (Student_Sid)
references Student(Sid);

ALTER table Book ADD

FOREIGN KEY (Student_Sid)
references Student(Sid);

CREATE TABLE
SQL

MYSQL

ORACLE

The CREATE TABLE

statement is used to create
a table in a database.

CREATE TABLE table_name

( column_name1 data_type,
column_name2 data_type, .... );

CREATE TABLE table_name

( column_name1 data_type,
column_name2 data_type, .... );

CREATE TABLE table_name

( column_name1 data_type,
column_name2 data_type, .... );

Creates an index on a
table. Duplicate values are
allowed.

CREATE INDEX index_name

ON table_name (column_name);

CREATE INDEX index_name

ON table_name (column_name);

CREATE INDEX index_name

ON table_name (column_name);

Creates a unique index on

a table. Duplicate values
are not allowed.

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX

index_name
ON table_name (column_name);

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX

index_name
ON table_name (column_name);

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX

index_name
ON table_name (column_name);

Create View syntax

CREATE VIEW view_name AS

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

CREATE VIEW view_name AS

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

CREATE VIEW view_name AS

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

DROP TABLE
SQL

MYSQL

ORACLE

It is used to delete a
Table.

DROP TABLE Student;

DROP TABLE Student;

DROP TABLE Student;

It is used to delete a
database.

DROP DATABASE
