Program Plan Intro

SQL:

  • SQL stands for “Structured Query Language”.
  • The current version of SQL is “ANSI SQL – 92”.
  • It contains constructs which are used to define and process database. They are executed using DBMS-supplied command prompt.
  • 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.

Display values from table:

The contents from the table can be viewed by using “SELECT” statement which comes under Data Manipulation Language (DML). Syntax to view the contents using asterisk (*) is as follows:

SELECT * FROM table_Name;

Grouping Rows:

SQL contains “GROUP BY” clause in order to group rows by common data. Though it is very powerful feature, it is hard to understand.

Syntax:

SELECT column_Name1 FROM table_Name GROUP BY column_Name2;

Example: Consider a table “student” contains two columns “student_Name” and “Department”. “GROUP BY” clause is used when there is a need to get the number of students from each department.

The query for this scenario is given as follows.

SELECT department, COUNT (department) FROM student GROUP BY department;

When the above query is executed, number of students from each department will be displayed.

Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1).  Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values.  Write down your final [correct] answer, as you‘ll need it for the next question.
