Database Objects Overview in SQL Environment Setup

Create a Table and Insert Data

Create a table named 'Products' with columns for ProductID, Name, and Price. Insert three sample records.

Expected output: A 'Products' table with three rows of data.

Hint: Use CREATE TABLE and INSERT INTO statements.

Create a View for Expensive Products

Create a view that shows products with a price greater than 100.

Expected output: A view listing only products priced above 100.

Hint: Use CREATE VIEW with a SELECT statement including a WHERE clause.

Add an Index to the Products Table

Create an index on the 'Name' column of the 'Products' table.

Expected output: An index on the 'Name' column to speed up searches.

Hint: Use CREATE INDEX statement.

A table stores data physically in rows and columns, while a view is a virtual table defined by a query that does not store data itself.

Indexes improve query performance by allowing faster data retrieval without scanning the entire table.

Stored procedures encapsulate reusable SQL code to perform operations, improve performance, and enforce business logic.
