SQL Server Data Manipulation

SQL Server Data Manipulation

A practical guide to manipulating data in SQL Server.

This page demonstrates fundamental data manipulation concepts. Let's begin!

Data Transformation

We'll use a simple example to illustrate transformation.

  • Extract: Retrieve the 'FirstName' column from the 'Customers' table.
  • Transform: Convert the data type to VARCHAR.
  • Extract: Retrieve the 'Email' column from the 'Customers' table.
  • Transform: Clean up any extra spaces.

Data Filtering

We'll filter data based on a condition.

Let's filter customers with a name containing 'John'.

  • Filter: SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE FirstName LIKE '%John%';

Data Aggregation

Calculate the average age of customers.

We'll calculate the average age of customers from the 'Customers' table.

  • Aggregation: SELECT AVG(Age) FROM Customers;
