SQL Server

SQL Server is an enterprise database management system (DBMS) from Microsoft. It is used by

thousands of companies wordwide and is used by thousands! if not miions! of websites around the

word.

more room to pay with.

ou can use SQL Server Management Studio to create as many databases as you ie. ou can aso

connect to as many databases on as many servers as you ie.

Most of the tass performed with SQL Server Management Studio are initiated either from the top menu!

or by right0cicing on an iconFob,ect.

"hroughout most of this tutoria! we* be ooing at the various things you can do via SQL Server

Management Studio.

SQL Server Create a Database

2ne of the first things we shoud oo at with SQL ServerFManagement Studio is how to create a

database. /fter a! most of the tass you perform with SQL Server wi evove around one or more

databases.

S*ste Databases

If you*ve ony ,ust instaed SQL Server! you might notice that some databases have aready been

created. "hese are system databases.

ou wi now notice your new database appears under the Databases section of SQL Server

Management Studio.

our new database is based on the Mode database. "he Mode database is a system database which is

used as a tempate whenever a new database is created. If you use the eft pane to navigate to your

database and e#pand the tree! you wi notice that your database aready contains a number of ob,ects.

?or e#ampe! it aready contains system functions! system views! system stored procedures! and

(hidden) system tabes. "hese are system ob,ects which provide information about the database.

.t"er .#tions

@e have ,ust created a database using the defaut options. @hen we created the database! a Data ?ie

and a "ransaction Log were created. "hey were created in the defaut ocation for our server.

If we*d wanted to! we coud have specified a different ocation for these fies. @e aso coud have

changed specifications on whether to aow the fie to grow automaticay (as it stores more and more

data)! and if so! how that growth shoud be managed. @e coud have done that at step $. But a is not

ost. @e can sti do it now that we*ve created the database. @e can do it via the ;roperties diaog bo#.

"o view or change the database properties! simpy right cic on the database and seect ;roperties4


10/38

"he ;roperties diaog contains a arge number of options for changing the configuration of your

database. ?or now! we can eave everything at its defaut setting.

SQL Server Create a Table

"his esson demonstrates how to create a tabe in a SQL Server database using SQL Server Management

Studio (SSMS).


12/38

&. 1nsuring you have the right database e#panded! right cic on the "abes icon and seect Eew

"abe...4

$. @hie you have this screen open! do the foowing4

a.


13/38

@hat we are doing at this stage! is creating the coumn names! specifying the type of data that

can be entered into them! and setting defaut vaues. =estricting the data type for each coumn

is very important and heps maintain data integrity. ?or e#ampe! it can prevent us from

accidentay entering an emai address into a fied for storing the current date.

5. Save the tabe by seecting #ile $ Save Ta%le&'4


14/38

'. @hen prompted! name your tabe4

-our +e, Table

Eow that you*ve created a new tabe! it wi appear under your database in the "abes section.

SQL Server A!!in& Data

In the previous esson! we created a new tabe in our database. @e now have a database tabe! coumns

and a! but with no data.

!itin& Table /o,s


15/38

@e can use the 1dit "op $%% =ows option to add data to our tabe.

&. "o use this option! right cic on the tabe you wish to open! and seect 1dit "op $%% =ows4

$. ou can now start entering the data directy into your tabe.

Eote that you don*t need to enter data into the IndividuaId and Date6reated coumns. "his is

because the they wi be popuated automaticay (remember! we set IndividuaId to Is Identity

and Date6reated to (AetDate()))

Disa!vanta&es of nterin& Data Directl* to *our Table

"he above method is fine if you ony have a sma amount of data to enter or update. If you have a ot of

data to enter! this coud become very tedious. /so! if you have mutipe environments (for e#ampe! a

deveopment environment! staging environment! and production environment)! with dupicate databases

configured in each environment! you wi need to re0enter the same data into each environment.

@hen you*re first earning SQL Server! this may not be a ma,or concern. owever! in an environment

such as described! entering data directy into the tabe becomes +uite inefficient.

A Better Met"o! SQL Scri#ts

In most cases! you wi probaby find it more efficient to write a SQL script.


16/38

can simpy run your script to enter the data. If you have mutipe environments! once again you can run

your script against each environment.

2nce you get used to writing and running scripts! you wi probaby find it +uicer than entering data

directy into the tabe.

Database Driven $ebsites

@hen you create a database driven website! you actuay write SQL scripts to insert data into the

database. ou aso use SQL scripts to read data! update data! and deete data. "hese SQL scripts can be

paced directy into your website code (;;! 6od?usion etc)! or they can be stored in the database

as Store" roce"uresor )iews.

In the ne#t esson! we wi oo at how to write and e#ecute SQL scripts within SQL Server.

SQL Server SQL Scri#ts

In the previous esson! we added data to our database tabe using the 1dit "op $%% =ows option. In

this esson! we wi oo at how to write SQL scripts to update and run +ueries against our database.

Create a +e, Quer*

Before we generate our SQL script! we need somewhere to enter it into. "his part is easy. Gust cic the

Eew Query button4

ou are now ready to write SQL +ueries against your database. ou can use this interface to create

In the previous esson! we created a SQL script using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). In this

About T"e Quer* Desi&ner

"he graphica +uery designer is a graphica user interface that aows you to buid +ueries to run againstyour SQL Server database. "his can be particuary usefu when buiding compe# +ueries that invoves

many tabes! views etc.

"he +uery designer can aso be beneficia for those who are earning how to write SQL. "his is because

you don*t need to remember the SQL synta# in order to write +ueries against your database 0 the +uery

In SQL Server! a viewis a pre0written +uery that is stored on the database. / view consists of a S1L16"

statement! and when you run the view! you see the resuts of it ie you woud when opening a tabe.

Some peope ie to thin of a view as a virtua tabe. "his is because a view can pu together data from

mutipe tabes! as we as aggregate data! and present it as though it is a singe tabe.

/ view can be usefu when there are mutipe users with different eves of access! who a need to see

SQL Server Store! roce!ures

Stored procedures are a powerfu part of SQL Server. "hey can assist programmers and administrators

greaty in woring with the database configuration and its data.

/ stored procedure is a precompied group of "ransact0SQL statements! and is saved to the database

(under the Stored ;rocedures node). ;rogrammers and administrators can e#ecute stored procedures

either from the SQL Server Management Studio or from within an appication as re+uired.

"ransact0SQL! which is based on SQL (Structured Query Language)! is the programming anguage used

to interface between appications and their databases. "ransact0SQL is a reativey easy anguage to

earn and I highy recommend becoming famiiar with it.

Benefits of Store! roce!ures

ere are some ey benefits in using stored procedures4

Benefit '#lanation of benefit

Moduar

programming

ou can write a stored procedure once! then ca it from mutipe paces in your

appication.

;erformance Stored procedures provide faster code e#ecution and reduce networ traffic.

?aster e#ecution4 Stored procedures are parsed and optimiCed as soon as they

are created and the stored procedure is stored in memory. "his means that it

wi e#ecute a ot faster than sending many ines of SQL code from your

appication to the SQL Server. Doing that re+uires SQL Server to compie and

optimCe your SQL code every time it runs.

=educed networ traffic4 If you send many ines of SQL code over the networ

to your SQL Server! this wi impact on networ performance. "his is especiay

true if you have hundreds of ines of SQL code andFor you have ots of activity

on your appication. =unning the code on the SQL Server (as a stored

procedure) eiminates the need to send this code over the networ. "he ony

networ traffic wi be the parameters suppied and the resuts of any +uery.
