# MariaDB/MySQL

## What is MariaDB?

MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that is a fork of MySQL. It was created by the original developers of MySQL after concerns arose over Oracle Corporation's acquisition of MySQL. MariaDB aims to maintain high compatibility with MySQL, ensuring that users and applications can easily transition from MySQL to MariaDB without significant changes.

describe <table_name>;    # see detailed info about the table
show columns from <table>;    # see detailed info about table  
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Create Table" %}

```
CREATE TABLE <table name> (
    <Column Name> <Type>,
    <Column Name> <Type>
);
```

column datatypes:

VARCHAR(50) : \

### Example

```sql
CREATE TABLE SHIPS (
    NAME VARCHAR(50),
    CLASS VARCHAR(50),
    LAUNCHED INT
);

CREATE TABLE BATTLES (
    NAME VARCHAR(50),
    DATE DATETIME
);

CREATE TABLE CLASSES (
    CLASS VARCHAR(50),
    TYPE VARCHAR(2),
    COUNTRY VARCHAR(20),
    NUMGUNS INT,
    BORE REAL,
    DISPLACEMENT INT
);

CREATE TABLE OUTCOMES (
    SHIP VARCHAR(50),
    BATTLE VARCHAR(50),
    RESULT VARCHAR(10)
);

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Insert In Tables" %}

```sql
INSERT INTO <table_name> (<column>, <column>, <column>) VALUES
('values', 'values', values),
('values', 'values', values),
('values', 'values', values);
```

***

Example:

```sql
INSERT INTO SHIPS (NAME, CLASS, LAUNCHED) VALUES
('USS Constitution', 'Constitution', 1797),
('HMS Victory', 'Victory', 1765),
('USS Arizona', 'Pennsylvania', 1915);

INSERT INTO BATTLES (NAME, DATE) VALUES
('Battle of Tripoli', '1804-08-03'),
('Battle of Trafalgar', '1805-10-21'),
('Pearl Harbor', '1941-12-07');

INSERT INTO CLASSES (CLASS, TYPE, COUNTRY, NUMGUNS, BORE, DISPLACEMENT) VALUES
('Constitution', 'BB', 'USA', 90, 1.2, 2200),
('Victory', 'BB', 'UK', 104, 1.4, 3500),
('Pennsylvania', 'BB', 'USA', 100, 1.3, 3300);

INSERT INTO OUTCOMES (SHIP, BATTLE, RESULT) VALUES
('USS Constitution', 'Battle of Tripoli', 'Victory'),
('HMS Victory', 'Battle of Trafalgar', 'Victory'),

```

{% endtab %}

{% tab %}

```sql
SELECT * FROM <table_name>;
```

***

Example:

```sql
SELECT * FROM SHIPS;
SELECT * FROM BATTLES;
SELECT * FROM CLASSES;
SELECT * FROM OUTCOMES;
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Untitled" %}

```sql
SELECT SHIPS.NAME, SHIPS.CLASS, CLASSES.TYPE, CLASSES.COUNTRY
FROM SHIPS
JOIN CLASSES ON SHIPS.CLASS = CLASSES.CLASS;
```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://digitalgarden.batamladen.com/notes/linux/sql/mariadb-mysql.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
