Concept of a Method: structure, local variables, return values, types of parameter passing
Concept of a Class ( simple class only): members, methods, using classes as data types
Programming Guidelines:
Choice of Expressions and Names, , Comments, use of Indentation; Documentation and Program
Maintenance; Debugging programs: Syntax Errors, Run-Time Errors, Logical Errors;
Problem Solving Methodology and Techniques: Understanding of the problem, Identifying
relevant
information, top-down development approach
UNIT 3: RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Introduction to MySQL
(ANSI SQL 99 standard commands)
Classification of SQL Statements:
DML - SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE;
DDL - CREATE, DROP, ALTER;
SQL SELECT Statement (working with demo/already existing tables): SELECT statement,
Selecting
All the Columns, Selecting Specific Column, Using Arithmetic Operators, Operator Precedence,
Defining
and using Column Alias, Duplicate rows and their Elimination (DISTINCT keyword),
Displaying Table
Structure (DESC command); SELECT Statement Continued: Limiting Rows during selection
(using
WHERE clause), Working with Character Strings and Dates, Working with NULL values;
Using Comparison operators - =, <, >, <=, >=, < >, BETWEEN, IN, LIKE(%), Logical
Operators
-AND, OR, NOT; Operator Precedence;
ORDER BY Clause, Sorting in Ascending/Descending Order, Sorting By Column Alias Name,
Sorting
On Multiple Columns;
Functions in MySQL:

LTRIM(), MID(), RIGHT(), RTRIM(), SUBSTR(), TRIM(), UCASE(), UPPER().
Mathematical Functions - POWER(), ROUND(), TRUNCATE().
Date and Time Functions - CURDATE() , DATE(), MONTH(), YEAR(), DAYNAME(),
DAYOFMONTH(), DAYOFWEEK(), DAYOFYEAR(), NOW(), SYSDATE().
Manipulating Data of a Table/Relation: Inserting New Rows, Inserting New Rows with Null
Values,
Inserting NUMBER, CHAR and DATE Values, Update Statement to Change Existing Data of a
Table, Updating Rows in A Table, Delete statement - removing row/rows from a Table;
Creating Table using CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE for adding a new column, using
naming
conventions for column names;
