Create and run your own SQL files

This Unit is not a teaching Unit. It's main purpose is to allow students to add and run their own mysql code.

• The public GitHub repository for this unit can be found at https://github.com/codio-content/MySQL_Playground.

• For more information on other units in the MySQL course go to Course-:-MySQL

• More information on other Codio Courses, how you can collaborate and other useful information can be found in our Information Wiki.

Using the mysql client

Open up a terminal window from the Tools->Terminal menu.

Once the terminal window is open, just type mysql into the command line and a new mysql> client will start.

Running mysql statements

The mysql client is enabled with all the database and table editing and reading privileges so you can experiment as much as you want.

Example DML statements:

Data manipulation commands (CRUD) include:

SELECT * FROM db_name.table_name;

INSERT INTO table_name (column1,column2,column3,...)
VALUES (value1,value2,value3,...);

UPDATE table_name
SET column1=value1,column2=value2,...
WHERE some_column=some_value;

DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE some_column=some_value;

Sourcing *.sql files

The file tree is enabled as well, here, you can edit the source.sql file to add SQL statements and source it like this:

mysql> source source.sql

Or you can create as many *.sql files as you want and source them as well.

Creating a new SQL file

To create a new SQL file, please follow these steps.

1. Select the 'File' menu item at the top of this page.
2. Select 'New File' from the drop down menu.
3. In the dialog that appears, locate the 'File Name' field.
4. Enter 'filename.sql' in this field, where 'filename' is a name you choose for your file.
5. Press 'OK' and a new window will appear where you can start coding.
