ddl

DDL 是数据定义语言的缩写，简单来说， 就是对数据库内部的对象 进行创建、删除、修改的操作语言。 它和 DML 语言的最大区别是 DML 只是对表内部数据的操作，而不涉及到表的定义、结构的修改，更不会涉及到其他对象。DDL 语句更多的被数据库管理员（DBA）所使用， 一般的开发人员很少使用。 下面通过一些例子来介绍 MySQL 中常用 DDL 语句的使用方法。 1．创建数据库 启动 MySQL 服务之后，输入以下命令连接到 MySQL 服务器： [mysql@db3 ~]$ mysql -uroot -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 7344941 to server version: 5.1.9-beta-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> 在以上命令行中，mysql 代表客户端命令，-u 后面跟连接的数据库用户，-p 表示需要输入密码。如果数据库设置正常，并输入正确的密码，将看到上面一段欢迎界面和一个 mysql>提示符。在欢迎界面中介绍了以下几部分内容。 命令的结束符： 用;或者\g 结束。

I have a problem: I need to delete a column from my SQLite database. I wrote this query alter table table_name drop column column_name but it does not work. Please help me. MeBigFatGuy From: http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html : (11) How do I add or delete columns from an existing table in SQLite. SQLite has limited ALTER TABLE support that you can use to add a column to the end of a table or to change the name of a table. If you want to make more complex changes in the structure of a table, you will have to recreate the table. You can save existing data to a temporary table, drop the old table,

In a fairly animated discussion in my team I was made to think what most people like as primary keys. We had the following groups- Int/ BigInt which autoincrement are good enough primary keys. There should be at least 3 columns that make up the primary key. Id, GUID and human readable row identifiers all should be treated differently. What's the best approach for PKs? It would be awesome if you could justify your opinion. Is there a better approach that the above? EDIT: Anyone has a simple sample/algorithm to generate human readable identifiers for rows that scales well? If you're going to be

总体解释： DML（data manipulation language）： 它们是SELECT、UPDATE、INSERT、DELETE，就象它的名字一样，这4条命令是用来对数据库里的数据进行操作的语言 DDL（data definition language）： DDL比DML要多，主要的命令有CREATE、ALTER、DROP等，DDL主要是用在定义或改变表（TABLE）的结构，数据类型，表之间的链接和约束等初始化工作上，他们大多在建立表时使用 DCL（Data Control Language）： 是数据库控制功能。是用来设置或更改数据库用户或角色权限的语句，包括（grant,deny,revoke等）语句。在默认状态下，只有sysadmin,dbcreator,db_owner或db_securityadmin等人员才有权力执行DCL 详细解释： 一、DDL is Data Definition Language statements. Some examples:数据定义语言，用于定义和管理 SQL 数据库中的所有对象的语言 1.CREATE - to create objects in the database 创建 2.ALTER - alters the structure of the database 修改 3.DROP - delete objects
