Transactions

SQL transactions provide a way to group multiple SQL operations into a single, atomic unit of work. A transaction ensures that either all operations within it are successfully completed (committed) or none of them are (rolled back), maintaining data integrity and consistency. Let's delve into SQL transactions with examples and key concepts.

 

ACID Properties:

Atomicity: Ensures that all operations within a transaction are completed successfully or none at all. If any part of the transaction fails, the entire transaction is rolled back to its initial state.

Consistency: Guarantees that the database remains in a consistent state before and after the transaction. Constraints, triggers, and cascades ensure data validity.

Isolation: Ensures that transactions are isolated from each other until they are completed. Concurrent transactions should not interfere with each other.

Durability: Once a transaction is committed, its changes are permanent even in the event of system failures.

 

Transaction Commands:

BEGIN TRANSACTION: Begins a new transaction explicitly.

COMMIT: Finalizes the transaction and makes all changes permanent.

ROLLBACK: Aborts the transaction and undoes any changes made since the transaction began.

SAVEPOINT: Creates a point within the transaction to which you can roll back.

SQL Fundamentals

SQL, or Structured Query Language, is the go-to language for managing relational databases. It allows users to interact with databases to retrieve, manipulate, and control data efficiently. SQL provides a standardized way to define database structures, perform data operations, and ensure data integrity. From querying data to managing access and transactions, SQL is a fundamental tool for anyone working with databases. 1. Basics of SQL Introduction : SQL (Structured Query Language) is used for managing and manipulating relational databases. SQL Syntax : Basic structure of SQL statements (e.g., SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). Data Types : Different types of data that can be stored (e.g., INTEGER, VARCHAR, DATE). 2. SQL Commands DDL (Data Definition Language) : CREATE TABLE : Define new tables. ALTER TABLE : Modify existing tables. DROP TABLE : Delete tables. DML (Data Manipulation Language) : INSERT : Add new records. UPDATE : Modify existing records. DELETE : Remove records. DQL (Da...

DAX Functions

These are just some of the many DAX functions available in Power BI. Each  function serves a specific purpose and can be used to perform a wide range of calculations and transformations on your data. Aggregation Functions: SUM : Calculates the sum of values. AVERAGE : Calculates the arithmetic mean of values. MIN : Returns the smallest value in a column. MAX : Returns the largest value in a column. COUNT : Counts the number of rows in a table or column. COUNTA : Counts the number of non-blank values in a column. DISTINCTCOUNT : Counts the number of unique values in a column. Logical Functions: IF : Returns one value if a condition is true and another value if it's false. AND : Returns TRUE if all the conditions are true, otherwise FALSE. OR : Returns TRUE if any of the conditions are true, otherwise FALSE. NOT : Returns the opposite of a logical value. Text Functions: CONCATENATE : Concatenates strings together. LEFT : Returns the leftmost characters from a text string. RIGHT : Ret...
