Types of SQL Operators

 

 

Arithmetic Operators:

1. Basic Arithmetic Operations in SQL:

   - Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication (), Division (/):

     ```sql

     SELECT salary, salary  1.1 AS increased_salary FROM employees;

     ```

   - Modulus (%):

     ```sql

     SELECT employee_id, salary % 2 AS is_even FROM employees;

     ```

 

2. Use of Operators in SELECT Statements for Calculations:

   - Utilizing arithmetic operations to calculate derived values.

   ```sql

   SELECT product_name, (unit_price  quantity) AS total_price FROM order_items;

   ```

 

3. Examples Demonstrating Arithmetic Operators:

   - Scenario:

     - Calculating the area of a circle.

     ```sql

     SELECT radius, PI() * POW(radius, 2) AS area FROM circles;

     ```

 

Comparison Operators:

4. Overview of Comparison Operators:

   - Equality (=, <>):

     ```sql

     SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department_id = 101;

     ```

   - Inequality (<, >, <=, >=):

     ```sql

     SELECT * FROM products WHERE price >= 50;

     ```

 

5. Application of Comparison Operators in WHERE Clauses:

   - Filtering data based on specified conditions.

   ```sql

   SELECT * FROM orders WHERE order_date > '2024-01-01';

   ```

 

6. Understanding NULL Values in Comparisons:

   - Dealing with the nuances of NULL values in comparisons.

   ```sql

   SELECT * FROM customers WHERE last_purchase_date IS NULL;

   ```

 

Logical Operators:

7. AND, OR, and NOT Operators for Combining Conditions:

   - AND Operator:

     ```sql

     SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department_id = 101 AND salary > 50000;

     ```

   - OR Operator:

     ```sql

     SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department_id = 101 OR department_id = 102;

     ```

   - NOT Operator:

     ```sql

     SELECT * FROM employees WHERE NOT department_id = 101;

     ```

 

8. Crafting Complex Conditions Using Logical Operators:

   - Combining multiple conditions for precise data retrieval.

   ```sql

   SELECT * FROM products WHERE (category = 'Electronics' AND price > 100) OR (category = 'Clothing' AND stock_quantity > 50);

   ```

 

9. Truth Tables to Understand the Behavior of Logical Operators:

   - Breaking down the outcomes of logical combinations.

   ```sql

   -- Truth table for AND

   SELECT a, b, a AND b AS result FROM truth_table_data;

   ```

 

Bitwise Operators:

10. Introduction to Bitwise Operators in SQL:

    - Bitwise AND (&), Bitwise OR (|), Bitwise XOR (^):

      ```sql

      SELECT column1, column2, column1 & column2 AS bitwise_and_result FROM bitwise_data;

      ```

 

11. Application of Bitwise Operators in Data Manipulation:

    - Manipulating binary data using bitwise operators.

    ```sql

    UPDATE flags_table SET status = status | 4 WHERE user_id = 101;

    ```

 

12. Use Cases Where Bitwise Operators are Beneficial:

    - Scenario:

      - Storing and manipulating user permissions using bitwise operators.

 

Assignment Operators:

13. Explanation of Assignment Operators:

    - Simple Assignment (=):

      ```sql

      SET @counter = 1;

      ```

    - Compound Assignment (+=, -=, =, /=):

      ```sql

      UPDATE inventory SET quantity_available -= 10 WHERE product_id = 201;

      ```

 

14. Practical Examples Showcasing the Use of Assignment Operators:

    - Scenario:

      - Incrementing product ratings using a compound assignment operator.

      ```sql

      UPDATE product_ratings SET rating_count += 1 WHERE product_id = 301;

      ```

 

Key Takeaways:

- Precision in Data Manipulation: Learn to use arithmetic, comparison, logical, bitwise, and assignment operators for precise data manipulation.

- Efficient Data Retrieval: Master crafting complex conditions for efficient data retrieval.

- Real-world Application: Understand how operators are applied in real-world scenarios for enhanced database management.
