Program Plan Intro

“SELECT” command:

The “SELECT” command is used to retrieve data in a database.

Syntax for selecting values from the table is as follows:

SELECT STUDENT_ID FROM STUDENT;

  • The given query is used to display each student ID from “STUDENT” table.

“COUNT” function:

  • It is the one function of aggregate function.
  • The “COUNT” function is used to compute the number of rows in a table.

Example:

The example for “COUNT” function is given below:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM STUDENT WHERE MARK_CREDIT >= 90;

The above query is used to display the number of students whose mark credit is greater or equal to “90” by using “COUNT” function.

  • From the given query, the asterisk (*) represent any column.
  • User can also count the number of rows in a query by selecting a particular column instead of using the asterisk.
    • The below example is as follows

      SELECT COUNT(STUDENT_ID) FROM STUDENT WHERE MARK_CREDIT >= 90;

“ORDER BY” Clause:

  • User can sort the data in specific order using “ORDER BY” clause.
  • The column on which to sort data is called a sort key or a simple key.
  • To sort the output, use an “ORDER BY” clause followed by the sort key.
  • If the user does not indicate a sort order, the output displayed in default order that is ascending order.

Example:

The example for “ORDER BY” clause is given below:

SELECT STUDENT_ID, STUDENT_NAME, STUDENT_CREDIT FROM STUDENT ORDER BY STUDENT_CREDIT;

 The above query is used to list student ID, name and credit for each student with ascending order of student credit using an “ORDER BY” clause.

  • From the given query, the sort key is “STUDENT_CREDIT”. So, the rows are sorted in ascending order by “STUDENT_CREDIT”.

“GROUP BY” Clause:

  • User can group the data using “GROUP BY” clause.
  • The GROUP BY clause is used to group the result of a SELECT statement done on a table where the tuple values are similar for more than one column.

Example:

The example for “GROUP BY” clause is given below:

SELECT CUSTOMER_NAME, SUM(AMOUNT) FROM CUSTOMERS GROUP BY CUSTOMER_NAME;

The above query is used to list the customer name and the sum of amount using “GROUP BY” clause.

Create a StudentTest.java file. Implement a public StudentTest class with a main method. In the main method, create one student object and print the object using System.out.println(). Your printing result must follow the example output: name: Mike, street: Morris Ave, city: Union, Id: 1000 Hint: You need to modify the toString methods in the Student class and Person class!
