Built in Functions -MySQL

MySQL built-in functions are pre-defined functions provided by MySQL to perform various operations on data. These functions are categorized into different types based on their functionality:

String Functions

  • CONCAT(): Concatenates two or more strings.
  • SUBSTRING(): Extracts a substring from a string.
  • LENGTH(): Returns the length of a string.
  • UPPER(): Converts a string to uppercase.
  • LOWER(): Converts a string to lowercase.
  • TRIM(): Removes leading and trailing spaces from a string.
  • REPLACE(): Replaces occurrences of a specified string with another string.

Numeric Functions

  • ABS(): Returns the absolute value of a number.
  • CEIL() or CEILING(): Rounds a number up to the nearest integer.
  • FLOOR(): Rounds a number down to the nearest integer.
  • ROUND(): Rounds a number to a specified number of decimal places.
  • MOD(): Returns the remainder of a division operation.
  • POWER(): Raises a number to the power of another number.

Date and Time Functions

  • CURDATE(): Returns the current date.
  • CURTIME(): Returns the current time.
  • NOW(): Returns the current date and time.
  • DATE(): Extracts the date part of a date or datetime expression.
  • TIME(): Extracts the time part of a date or datetime expression.
  • YEAR(): Returns the year from a date.
  • MONTH(): Returns the month from a date.
  • DAY(): Returns the day of the month from a date.
  • DATE_ADD(): Adds a specified time interval to a date.
  • DATEDIFF(): Returns the difference in days between two dates.

Aggregate Functions

  • COUNT(): Returns the number of rows that match a specified condition.
  • SUM(): Returns the sum of a numeric column.
  • AVG(): Returns the average value of a numeric column.
  • MIN(): Returns the minimum value in a set.
  • MAX(): Returns the maximum value in a set.

Control Flow Functions

  • IF(): Returns one value if a condition is true, and another value if it is false.
  • CASE: Performs conditional logic similar to a switch statement.

JSON Functions

  • JSON_OBJECT(): Creates a JSON object from a list of key-value pairs.
  • JSON_ARRAY(): Creates a JSON array from a list of values.
  • JSON_EXTRACT(): Extracts data from a JSON document.

Full-Text Search Functions

  • MATCH()...AGAINST(): Performs full-text search operations.

Miscellaneous Functions

  • VERSION(): Returns the MySQL version.
  • DATABASE(): Returns the name of the current database.
  • USER(): Returns the current user name and host name.

These built-in functions are essential tools in MySQL for data manipulation, calculation, and retrieval. For a comprehensive list and detailed descriptions, you can refer to the MySQL documentation.

Procedures in PL/SQL

Procedures in PL/SQL (Procedural Language/Structured Query Language) are a way to encapsulate a set of SQL and PL/SQL statements that perform a specific task. They are stored in the database and can be executed as needed, providing a modular and reusable approach to database programming. Here’s an overview of creating and using procedures in PL/SQL: Creating a Procedure To create a procedure, you use the CREATE PROCEDURE statement followed by the procedure's name, parameters (if any), and the body of the procedure, which contains the executable code. Here’s a basic syntax: CREATE [OR REPLACE] PROCEDURE procedure_name     [ (parameter_name [IN | OUT | IN OUT] datatype [, ...]) ] IS    -- Declaration of variables BEGIN    -- Executable statements EXCEPTION    -- Exception handling END procedure_name; Example Here’s a simple example of a PL/SQL procedure that inserts a new employee record into an employees table: CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE add_employee (     p_emp_id IN employees.emp

Cursors in PL/SQL

In PL/SQL, cursors are a mechanism for accessing and manipulating query result sets. A cursor allows you to fetch and process rows returned by a query one at a time. There are two main types of cursors in PL/SQL: implicit cursors and explicit cursors. Implicit Cursors PL/SQL automatically creates implicit cursors for SELECT INTO statements, and for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and MERGE statements. Example of Implicit Cursor DECLARE     v_employee_name employees.first_name%TYPE; BEGIN     -- This SELECT INTO statement uses an implicit cursor     SELECT first_name     INTO v_employee_name     FROM employees     WHERE employee_id = 100;     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Employee Name: ' || v_employee_name); END; In this example, PL/SQL creates an implicit cursor for the SELECT INTO statement and automatically fetches the result into the v_employee_name variable. Explicit Cursors Explicit cursors give you more control over the context area. You can open a cursor, fetch rows from the result s
