SQL User Management Queries

User management queries with CRUD and FOREIGN KEY handle user data.

Understanding User Management in SQL

User management in SQL involves performing operations to add, modify, delete, and manage user data in a database. Key operations include using CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities along with handling FOREIGN KEY constraints to maintain data integrity across tables.

Creating Users in SQL

To create a new user record in a database, you use the INSERT statement. In this example, we'll create a simple users table and insert a new user into it.

Reading User Data

To retrieve user data, the SELECT statement is used. The following query fetches all records from the users table.

Updating User Information

Updating user information is done using the UPDATE statement. Here is how you can change a user's email address.

Deleting a User

To delete a user from the database, the DELETE statement is used. Below is an example of deleting a user by their user_id.

Using FOREIGN KEY in User Management

The FOREIGN KEY constraint is crucial for maintaining relational integrity between tables. For example, if a user can have multiple orders, the orders table would reference the users table.

This ensures that all orders are associated with a valid user, preventing orphan records in the orders table.
