What to Focus On

  • SQL is a query language used with relational databases.
  • It is easy to learn because it uses descriptive English words.
  • SQL statements are case insensitive.
  • End every SQL statement with a semicolon.
  • SQL keywords do not depend on letter case.
  • Database and table names are case-sensitive in Linux.
  • CHAR is fixed-length.
  • VARCHAR is variable-length.
  • INT and FLOAT both occupy 4 bytes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

SQL statements are case sensitive, so salary and SALARY are different in queries.

NULL means 0, so arithmetic with NULL should work like arithmetic with zero.

PRIMARY KEY only means unique, so NOT NULL is separate and not part of it.

Memory Tips
