How can we see the metadata of a view(s) stored in a particular MySQL database?
The INFORMATION_SCHEMA database has a VIEWS table that contains view metadata i.e. data about views. To illustrate it we are taking the example of a view named ‘Info’.ExampleThe following query will show the metadata of a view named ‘Info’ −mysql> SELECT * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'Info' AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'query'\G *************************** 1. row *************************** TABLE_CATALOG: def TABLE_SCHEMA: query TABLE_NAME: info VIEW_DEFINITION:select`query`.`student_info`.`id`AS`ID`, `query`.`student_info`.`Name` AS `NAME`, `query`.`student_info`.`Subject` AS `SUBJECT`, `query`.` student_info`.`Address` AS `ADDRESS` from `query`.`student_info` CHECK_OPTION: NONE IS_UPDATABLE: YES ...
Read MoreWhat are the different privileges required for using views?
Following privileges are required for a different kind of CREATE, REPLACE, DROP, ACCESS, UPDATE etc. of usage of views − CREATE VIEW Privilege − CREATE VIEW privilege is required to create a view. Along with this we must have sufficient privileges, like SELECT, INSERT or UPDATE, for accessing the tables to which the view definition refers. DROP VIEW Privilege − We require DROP VIEW privileges for using OR REPLACE clause, DROP VIEW statement and also for using ALTER VIEW statement. SELECT Privilege − We must have SELECT privileges for selecting from a view. INSERT, DELETE or UPDATE Privileges − Actually ...
Read MoreHow can we create a MySQL one-time event that executes immediately?
As we know a one-time event means the events that will be executed only once on a particular schedule. To illustrate the creation of such kind of events we are using the following example in which we are creating an event which will execute at the current time −Examplemysql> Create table event_message(ID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, MESSAGE VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, Generated_at DATETIMENOT NULL); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.61 sec) mysql> CREATE EVENT testing_event ON SCHEDULE AT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP DO INSERT INTO event_message(message, generated_at) Values('Hello', NOW()); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> Select * from ...
Read MoreHow can we get some last number of characters from the data stored in a MySQL table's column?
To get some last number of characters from the data stored in MySQL table’s column, we can use MySQL RIGHT() function. It will return the number of characters specified as it argument. We need to provide the name of the column, having the particular record from which we want to get last characters, as its first argument. To demonstrate it we are taking the example of a table named ‘examination_btech’ having the following examination details of students −mysql> Select * from examination_btech; +-----------+----------+--------+ | RollNo | Name | Course | +-----------+----------+--------+ | 201712001 ...
Read MoreHow MySQL evaluates if I try to add two numbers that are contained in quotes?
If we are trying to add two numbers that are contained in quotes, means we are treating the string as a number. In this case, MySQL converts the value into the closet numeric equivalent and evaluates the result. Following example will demonstrate it.Examplemysql> Select '1525' + '200'As Total; +-------+ | Total | +-------+ | 1725 | +-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Read MoreWhen MySQL SUBSTRING_INDEX() function returns the same string, provided in the argument, as output?
MySQL SUBSTRING_INDEX() function will return the same string as output if the argument ‘count’ has the value greater than the total number of occurrences of delimiter. It can be demonstrated with the following example −mysql> Select SUBSTRING_INDEX('www.google.co.in','.',4); +-------------------------------------------+ | SUBSTRING_INDEX('www.google.co.in','.',4) | +-------------------------------------------+ | www.google.co.in | +-------------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)The above query returns the same string because 4 is greater than the total number of occurrences of delimiter provided as argument i.e. ‘.’.
Read MoreHow Are MySQL INSTR() and LIKE operator similar?
We can use both INSTR() function and LIKE operator to search or match a particular pattern and they return same result. It can be demonstrated from the following example of ‘Student’ table.ExampleSuppose we want to search name, which contains ‘av’ in it, from ‘Student’ table. We can use INSTR() function as follows −mysql> Select Name from student where INSTR(name, 'av') > 0; +--------+ | Name | +--------+ | Gaurav | | Aarav | | Gaurav | +--------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)Now, for the same kind of search we can use LIKE operator as follows −mysql> Select Name ...
Read MoreHow can we delete multiple rows from a MySQL table?
We can use DELETE statement along with a WHERE clause, which identifies those multiple rows, to delete multiple rows from MySQL table.Examplemysql> Select * from names; +------+-----------+ | id | name | +------+-----------+ | 1 | Rahul | | 2 | Gaurav | | 3 | Raman | | 5 | Ram | +------+-----------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> DELETE from names WHERE id > 2; Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.04 sec)The query above will delete multiple rows because WHERE clause identify two rows having id > 2 from table ‘names’.mysql> Select * from names; +------+-----------+ | id | name | +------+-----------+ | 1 | Rahul | | 2 | Gaurav | +------+-----------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Read MoreWhat are the different ways to maintain data integrity in child table when the record is deleted in parent table?
When two tables are connected with Foreign key and data in the parent table is deleted, for which record exists in child table too, then followings are the ways to maintain data integrity −On Delete CascadeThis option will remove the record from child table too if that value of the foreign key is deleted from the main table.On Delete Null This option will set all the values in that record of child table as NULL, for which the value of the foreign key is deleted from the main table.
Read MoreHow can we remove NOT NULL constraint from a column of an existing MySQL table?
We can remove a NOT NULL constraint from a column of an existing table by using the ALTER TABLE statement.ExampleSuppose we have a table ‘test123’ having a NOT NULL constraint on column ‘ID’ as follows −mysql> DESCRIBE test123; +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | ID | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | Date | date | YES | | NULL | | +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.04 sec)Now if we ...
