Classification of SQL statements
In MatrixOne, SQL statements contain multiple categories, and the definition and content of each category are displayed in each section described below:
DDL - Data Definition Language
Data Definition Language (DDL) is a type of DBMS language used to clearly define data objects. In MatrixOne, DDL statements are divided into five categories:
CREATE statement to create various objects in MatrixOne
- CREATE DATABASE
- CREATE INDEX
- CREATE TABLE
- CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE
- CREATE FUNCTION
- CREATE PITR
- CREATE PUBLICATION
- CREATE SEQUENCE
- CREATE SNAPSHOT
- CREATE STAGE
- CREATE...FROM...PUBLICATION...
- CREATE VIEW
DROP statement, delete various objects in MatrixOne
- DROP INDEX
- DROP TABLE
- DROP FUNCTION
- DROP PITR
- DROP PUBLICATION
- DROP SEQUENCE
- DROP SNAPSHOT
- DROP STAGE
- DROP VIEW
ALTER statement to modify various objects in MatrixOne
TRUNCATE statement to clear the data in the table
DML - Data modification language
Data Manipulation Language (DML) is used for database operations, including programming statements that perform access to objects and data in the database. In MatrixOne, DML contains the following categories:
INSERT statement, used to insert new rows in tables
DELETE statement, used to delete existing rows in the table
UPDATE statement to modify the data of rows that already exist in the table
LOAD DATA statement, batch import data from a file to a database
REPLACE statement, replace line
DQL - Data Query Language
Query class statements (DQL) are used to retrieve existing data in MatrixOne. With SELECT statements as the core, they are divided into the following categories:
Single table query, there is only one query level, and only involves single table query
Subquery, also known as nested query or sub-select, is a query method in which SELECT subquery statements are embedded in another SQL query. They are divided into related subqueries and non-associated subqueries
Join Query, a query method that correlates the results between multiple tables and outputs the results
Common Table Expressions, which treat certain queries as temporary results, can be referenced in other SQLs, such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE, which only exists during query execution.
Combination query, combine the results of multiple queries, and present them in a set way, and are divided into union (UNION), intersection (INTERSECT), and differential (MINUS)
In addition to SELECT STATEMENT, it also contains query VALUES statements for constants
and the internal commands corresponding to the mo-dump tool
TCL - Transaction Language
Transaction language is a language dedicated to transaction management in MatrixOne, including the following categories:
START TRANSACTION, enables transactions, and can be replaced in MatrixOne with its dialect BEGIN
START TRANSACTION;
TRANSACTION STATEMENTS
```
### COMMIT, commit transactions, used for explicit commits to transactions in START TRANSACTION or non-automatic commit scenarios
### ROLLBACK, rollback transactions, used for explicit rollback of transactions in START TRANSACTION or non-automatic commit scenarios
DCL - Data Control Language
Data Control Language (DCL) includes the allocation and recycling of resources, the creation and deletion of users and roles, and the authorization and recycling of permissions. It is divided into the following categories:
CREATE statement, used to create users and roles
DROP statement used to delete users and roles
ALTER statement to modify user information
GRANT statement, authorizes users or roles
REVOKE statement, performs recycle operations on users or roles
Other - Management Language
The management language includes the acquisition and modification of database parameters and resource allocation that are not directly related to the data, including the following statement types:
SHOW statement
Get information through the SHOW statement:
- SHOW DATABASES
- SHOW CREATE TABLE
- SHOW CREATE VIEW
- SHOW CREATE PUBLICATION
- SHOW TABLES
- SHOW INDEX
- SHOW COLLATION
- SHOW COLUMNS
- SHOW FUNCTION STATUS
- SHOW GRANT
- SHOW PROCESSLIST
- SHOW PUBLICATIONS
- SHOW PITRS
- SHOW ROLES
- SHOW SEQUENCES
- SHOW SNAPSHOT
- SHOW STAGE
- SHOW SUBSCRIPTIONS
- SHOW VARIABLES
SET statement
Through SET statements, users can adjust various database parameters and present them through SHOW commands.
KILL statement
Statement to abort a database connection:
USE statement
Used to connect to an existing database:
Explain statement
Used to view SQL execution plan:
PREPARE statement
Prepare a SQL statement and assign it a name:
EXECUTE statement
Use the PREPARE prepared statement name and execute:
DEALLOCATE PREPARE statement
Frees the precompiled statement generated using PREPARE. After releasing the precompiled statement, executing the precompiled statement again will result in an error:
