Program Plan Intro
SQL:
- SQL stands for “Structured Query Language”.
- The current version of SQL is “ANSI SQL – 92”.
- SQL is not a
programming language. It is text-based and it is also called as data sublanguage.- In order to get SQL as a complete programming language, it should be included in scripting languages like Java, C#, and so on.
- It contains constructs which are used to define and process
database . They are executed using DBMS-supplied command prompt. - Some of the DBMS products that provides GUI tools in order to perform tasks are as follows:
- SQL Server
- Oracle Database
- MySQL
Data Definition Language (DDL):
It is used for creating tables and other structures. They perform operations like creating tables, modifying database, and removing database.
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Table Creation:
Creating table comes under Data Definition Language (DDL).
- The “CREATE TABLE” command is used to create a table by specifying the table name and then by listing the column in a single set of parentheses in the table.
- The “CREATE” command is employed for establishing databases on our platform by constructing tables in an already existing database.
The Syntax for creating table is as follows:
CREATE TABLE TABLE_NAME (
Column1 datatype,
Column2 datatype,
);
Creating table “EMP”:
CREATE TABLE EMP (
EMP_NUM CHAR(3)
EMP_LNAME VARCHAR(15)
EMP_FNAME VARCHAR(15)));
Explanation:
The above query is used to create a table structure named “EMP” . The attribute “EMP_NUM” is declared as “CHAR” and the attributes “EMP_LNAME” and “EMP_FNAME” is declared as “VARCHAR”.
