General: Editors for Programming

Using a good editor helps in reducing time. IF youa coding or programming things for some custom programs like matlab is suggest you use the editor provided by them since it always have all features required. But for coding other programing languages like php,html,c ,c++ i suggest notepad++.
There are lots of attractive features that make notepad++ appealing. 
I like the tabbed interface.
There are other plugins like function list and auto-completion which makes coding easy and faster.
To enable auto-completion you have to press ctrl+space.
Get Notepad++ here

SQL: What is Null Value

In SQL a null value is undefined or inapplicable or the field has no value assigned or defined. It is not equal to zero or space. Zero is a number and space is a character. Null is undefined value. Any rows of any data type can contain a null unless the column defined has primary key or is set not null ( which means the column cannot contain null values).
If a table field is null you see a value like null when you run a query which fetches data from that table.

SQL: The Select Statement tutorial 1

SELECT statement falls under DQL (Data Query Language ) of SQL. It is used to query or retrieve data from sql. Here is a sample table for use to practise. The table name is trees.

SELECT * from trees;

GENERIC SYNTAX below

This is show all the columns and rows in table trees. If you want to see only specific columns you have to issue the sql command like this

[GENERIC FORMAT]

SELECT column1,column2 from TABLENAME

column1 & column2 are column names in the table.

SELECT PlotID,TreeTagNumber from trees;


This command displays only PlotID and TreeTagNumber from above table. The output will be like this


+------------------------------------OUTPUT------------------------------------------+

PlotID TreeTagNumber
110 461
110 462
110 465
110 466

SQL: Types of sub languages in SQL

All commands of sql fall in one of the following categories.

  1. DDL (Data Definition Language)
These statements are used to create tables and databases and define field properties or table properties. Examples of commands that fall in this category are CREATE,ALTER and DROP statements

2. DML (Data Manipulation Language)
The statements that falls under this category are used to update data or add or remove data from tables. UPDATE, DELETE and INSERT commands fall under this category.

3. DCL (Data Control Language)
It is used to control who access the data. The commands that come under this category are GRANT and REVOKE

4. TCL (Transaction Control Language)
This language is used to commit data and restore data. COMMIT and ROLLBACK falls under this category.

5. DQL (Data Query Language)
This is to retrieve data from sql server. SELECT statement falls in this category.

All above languages are SQL. They are just categories of SQL. they are not different from SQL.
