How it is possible to insert a zero or an empty string into a MySQL column which is defined as NOT NULL?
Declaring a column ‘NOT NULL’ means that this column would not accept NULL values but zero (0) and an empty string is itself a value. Hence there would be no issue if we want to insert zero or an empty string into a MySQL column which is defined as NOT NULL. Following comparisons of 0 and empty string with NULL would make it clear −mysql> Select 0 IS NULL, 0 IS NOT NULL; +-----------+---------------+ | 0 IS NULL | 0 IS NOT NULL | +-----------+---------------+ | 0 | 1 | ...
Read MoreHow can we check the current MySQL transaction isolation level?
By executing SELECT @@TX_ISOLATION command we can check the current MySQL transaction isolation level.Examplemysql> SELECT @@TX_ISOLATION; +-----------------+ | @@TX_ISOLATION | +-----------------+ | REPEATABLE-READ | +-----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Read MoreWhat role data type plays when I insert an empty string into a MySQL column which is declared as NOT NULL?
The representation of an empty string in result set depends on data type when we insert an empty string into a MySQL column which is declared as NOT NULL. As we know that on inserting empty string we are providing value to MySQL that has integer representation as INT 0.Now, if that column is having INTEGER data type then MySQL would show 0 in the result set as that empty string has been mapped to zero as an integer.Examplemysql> create table test(id int NOT NULL, Name Varchar(10)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.19 sec) mysql> Insert into test(id, name) ...
Read MoreHow can we use MySQL SELECT without FROM clause?
FROM clause after SELECT shows the references to a table. But if there is no reference to any table then we can use SELECT without the FROM clause. In other words, we can say that SELECT can be used to retrieve rows computed without reference to any table. Consider the following statements −mysql> Select concat_ws(" ","Hello", "World"); +---------------------------------+ | concat_ws(" ","Hello", "World") | +---------------------------------+ | Hello World | +---------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> Set @var1=100; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> Select @var1; +-------+ | @var1 | +-------+ | 100 | +-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Read MoreHow can I get the output of multiple MySQL tables from a single query?
As we know that a query can have multiple MySQL statements followed by a semicolon. Suppose if we want to get the result from multiple tables then consider the following example to get the result set from ‘Student_info’ and ‘Student_detail’ by writing a single query −mysql> Select Name, Address from Student_info; Select Studentid, Address from Student_detail; +---------+------------+ | Name | Address | +---------+------------+ | YashPal | Amritsar | | Gaurav | Chandigarh | | Raman | Shimla | | Ram | Jhansi | | Shyam | Chandigarh | | ...
Read MoreWhat is the use of 'c' option while writing MySQL statements?
‘\c’ option means ‘clear’ and is used to clear the current input. Suppose if we do not want to execute a command that we are entering, then we can use a clear \c option which clears the current input. For example, the use of \c option can be done as follows −mysql> Select * -> from\cIn the example above, when we use \c in a statement, MySQL clears the current input and returns back to the MySQL prompt for accepting other statements.
Read MoreWhat would be the result if we perform any kind of arithmetic calculations in MySQL having one of the arguments as NULL?
MySQL always throws NULL as the result of arithmetic calculations in which one of the arguments is NULL. Consider the following example having NULL as an argument with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division −mysql> Select 10*NULL; +---------+ | 10*NULL | +---------+ | NULL | +---------+ 1 row in set (0.12 sec) mysql> Select 10+NULL; +---------+ | 10+NULL | +---------+ | NULL | +---------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> Select 10-NULL; +---------+ | 10-NULL | +---------+ | NULL | +---------+ 1 row in set (0.07 sec) mysql> Select 10/NULL; +---------+ | 10/NULL | +---------+ ...
Read MoreWhy in MySQL, we cannot use arithmetic operators like '=', '<' or '<>' with NULL?
The reason behind it is that we will not receive any meaningful results from the comparisons when we use NULL with the comparison operators like ‘=’, ‘ Select 10 = NULL, 10< NULL, 10NULL; +-----------+----------+----------+ | 10 = NULL | 10< NULL | 10NULL | +-----------+----------+----------+ | NULL | NULL | NULL | +-----------+----------+----------+ 1 row in set (0.07 sec)The above result set is not meaningful in any sense.
Read MoreWhat will happen to MySQL current transaction, if in the middle of that transaction, the DDL statement is executed?
The current MySQL transaction will be committed and ended when any of the DDL statement such as CREATE or DROP databases, Create, ALTER or DROP tables or stored routines is executed in the middle of the current transaction. All the database changes made in the current transaction will be made permanent and cannot be rolled back.Examplemysql> START TRANSACTION; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO MARKS Values(6, 'Manak', 'History', 70); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.26 sec) mysql> Create table student(id int, Name Varchar(10), ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.84 sec)As we can see ...
Read MoreInstead of using a semicolon (;) terminator symbol, is there any other built-in-commands which execute the MySQL query?
With the help of the following built-in commands, MySQL can execute a query even if semicolon (;) terminator symbol is not used.egoWe can use this command by using \G option. It means to send the current statement to the server to be executed and display the result in vertical format. When we use \G and omitting semicolon(;) in a statement (single or multiple lines), MySQL determines the end of the statement as and when it encounters \G. Consider the example below −mysql> Select * from ratelist\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Sr: 1 Item: A Price: 502 ...
