    This document discusses creating indexes, dropping indexes, and auto-increment fields in SQL. It provides the syntax for creating regular and unique indexes, and dropping indexes. It also explains that auto-increment allows unique numbers to be automatically generated for a field like a primary key when new records are inserted. The syntax for defining an auto-increment primary key field in MySQL is shown.

    LAB EXPERIMENT # 10

    INDEX Statement and Auto Increment Field

    OBJECTIVES:
    • Create Index Statement
    • Drop Index
    • Auto Increment Field

    CREATE INDEX Syntax


    CREATE INDEX index_ name
    ON table_name (column1, column2, ...);

    CREATE UNIQUE INDEX Syntax


    Creates a unique index on a table. Duplicate values are not allowed:
    CREATE UNIQUE INDEX index_name
    ON table_name (column1, column2, ...);

    CREATE INDEX Example

    The SQL statement below creates an index named "idx_lastname" on the "LastName" column in the "Persons"
    table:
    CREATE INDEX idx_lastname
    ON Persons (Last Name);

    If you want to create an index on a combination of columns, you can list the column names within the
    parentheses, separated by commas:

    CREATE INDEX idx_pname


    ON Persons (LastName, FirstName);

    DROP INDEX Statement


    The DROP INDEX statement is used to delete an index in a table.

    SQL Server:
    DROP INDEX table_name.index_name;

    My SQL:
    ALTER TABLE table_name
    DROP INDEX index_name;

    AUTO INCREMENT Field

    Auto-increment allows a unique number to be generated automatically when a new record is inserted into a
    table.
    Often this is the primary key field that we would like to be created automatically every time a new record is
    inserted.

    Syntax for MySQL


    The following SQL statement defines the "Person id" column to be an auto-increment primary key field in the
    "Persons" table:

    CREATE TABLE Persons (


    Person id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    Last Name varchar(255) NOT NULL,
    First Name varchar(255),
    Age int,
    PRIMARY KEY (Person id)
    );

    MySQL uses the AUTO_INCREMENT keyword to perform an auto-increment feature.


    By default, the starting value for AUTO_INCREMENT is 1, and it will increment by 1 for each new record.
    To let the AUTO_INCREMENT sequence start with another value, use the following SQL statement:
    ALTER TABLE Persons AUTO_INCREMENT=100;

    To insert a new record into the "Persons" table, we will NOT have to specify a value for the "Person id"
    column (a unique value will be added automatically):

    INSERT INTO Persons (First Name, Last Name) VALUES ('Lars','Monsen');

    The SQL statement above would insert a new record into the "Persons" table. The "Person id" column would
    be assigned a unique value. The "First Name" column would be set to "Lars" and the "Last Name" column
    would be set to "Monsen".
