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 provide GUI tools in order to perform tasks are as follows:
    •  SQL Server
    • Oracle Database
    • MySQL

UPDATE statement:

It is possible to update information into a table with the help of “UPDATE…SET” statement. Replacing an existing value with a new value can also be done.

Note: It is necessary to use “WHERE” clause when updating values, because, when it is ignored all the values from the mentioned column name gets changed.

Syntax:

UPDATE table_Name SET columnName1 = value WHERE condition;

What are the two errors in my pseudocode?Module getAverage(Integer value1, Integer value2, Integer value3)                 Declare Integer average                 average = value1 + value2 + value3 / 3                 Display average            End Module
Where did I make an error in my pseudocode module???Code:Module main()                 Call raiseToPower(2, 1.5)            End main              Module raiseToPower(Real value, Integer power)                 Declare Real result                 Set result = value ^ power                 Display result            End raiseToPower
Why does my pseudocode not perform what I asked? Don't know whats wrong with it.// This program asks the user to enter a value             // between 1 and 10 and validates the input.             Declare Integer value                         // Get a value from the user.             Display "Enter a value between 1 and 10."             Input value               // Make sure the value is between 1 and 10.             While value < 1 AND value > 10                         Display "ERROR: The value must be between 1 and 10."                         Display "Enter a value between 1 and 10."                         Input value             End While
