Summary of Main Ideas and Concepts

  • Introduction to Functions in SQL

    Functions are predefined keywords or objects in SQL that perform specific tasks. They accept input parameters, execute an action, and return an output. There are two types of functions:

  • String Functions

    String Functions operate on string data types, which include alphanumeric values and special characters. Common String Functions discussed include:

    • Upper: Converts all characters in a string to uppercase.
    • Lower: Converts all characters in a string to lowercase.
    • Length: Returns the number of characters in a string.
    • Substring: Extracts a portion of a string based on specified positions.
    • Replace: Replaces occurrences of a specified substring within a string.
    • Trim: Removes leading and trailing spaces from a string.
  • Practical Implementation

    The speaker demonstrates how to use String Functions with an example of a customer table in SQL. Examples include:

    • Using Upper and Lower to change case.
    • Using Length to find the number of characters in a string.
    • Using substring to extract specific characters from a string.
    • Using concat to combine first and last names.
    • Using replace for data cleaning and trim to remove unwanted spaces.
  • Resources

    The speaker mentions an official document detailing String Functions and operators in SQL, suggesting viewers search for "String Functions and operators Postgres" for more information.

Methodology / Instructions

  • To convert a string to uppercase: 
    SELECT Upper(column_name) FROM table_name;
  • To convert a string to lowercase: 
    SELECT Lower(column_name) FROM table_name;
  • To find the Length of a string: 
    SELECT Length(column_name) FROM table_name;
  • To extract a substring: 
    SELECT SUBSTRING(column_name FROM start_position FOR Length) FROM table_name;
  • To concatenate strings: 
    SELECT CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name) FROM table_name;
  • To replace a substring: 
    SELECT REPLACE(column_name, 'old_substring', 'new_substring') FROM table_name;
  • To trim spaces: 
    SELECT TRIM(column_name) FROM table_name;
