What’s with C#

• The Language of choice in the .NET Framework

• Comes with a clear syntax, derived from C/C++

• Ease with learning the language

• C# is a “Type Safe Language”

What can you do with C#

• Windows Applications• Web Applications (ASP.NET)• Web Services (WCF)

Structured Query Language (SQL)

• A language use for manipulating and retrieving records in a RDBMS

• Based on Relational Algebra tuple relational calculus, its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.

Adding Records to your Table

INSERT INTO table_name(column1,column2) VALUES(value1,value2);

Specifying the columns and corresponding values on those columns.

Adding Records Cont..

INSERT INTO table_name VALUES(value1,value2,..valueN);

Use for adding records provided that the number of values match the number of columns

Sample INSERT INTO Statement

Let’s assume we have table phonebook with 3 columns, FirstName, LastName, and PhoneNumber

INSERT INTO phonebook VALUES(‘jm’,’ramos’,’123’);

Modifyng Records

UPDATE table_name SET column1 = value1, column2 = value2 WHERE id = my_id;

Updates the record that has the id of my_id;

Sample UPDATE Statement

UPDATE Phonebook SET PhoneNumber = ‘09099234556’ WHERE FirstName = ‘jm’;

Updates all records that has a firstname of ‘jm’

Deleting Records

DELETE FROM table_name WHERE id = my_id;

Deletes the record the has the id = my_id. If the user fails to put a where condition, all records from the table will be lost.

Retrieving Records

SELECT (column1, column2) FROM table_name WHERE id = my_id;Returns a result set containing columns specified in the query satisfying the conditionWhere clause is optional

Enough with the Crap. Coding na!

• :DDDDD

Things to Remember:

• String data types in SQL should be enclosed with single quotes.

• Values are separated by commas• End every statement with

Semicolon• Just get what you need.• Use pascal casing.
