How to map SQL statements to file operations

Mapping SQL statements to file operations can be helpful when trying to understand how SQL queries translate to the underlying file operations on the database server. In this tutorial, we'll cover some basic SQL statements and their corresponding file operations.

Prerequisites:

A basic understanding of SQL statements
A basic understanding of file operations (e.g., create, read, update, delete)

Tutorial:

CREATE TABLE statement:

An SQL CREATE TABLE statement maps to the file operation of creating a new file (or multiple files, depending on the storage engine) to store the table data and its metadata on the database server.

Example SQL statement:

CREATE TABLE users (
    id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    first_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    last_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
);

File operations:

Create a new file (or multiple files) for the users table on the database server.

INSERT statement:

An SQL INSERT statement maps to the file operation of appending a new record to the file(s) associated with the table.

Example SQL statement:

INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name)
VALUES ('John', 'Doe');

File operations:

Append a new record with the values ('John', 'Doe') to the users table's file(s) on the database server.

SELECT statement:

An SQL SELECT statement maps to the file operation of reading records from the file(s) associated with the table and filtering the results based on the conditions specified in the query.

Example SQL statement:

SELECT first_name, last_name
FROM users
WHERE last_name = 'Doe';

File operations:

Read records from the users table's file(s) on the database server.
Filter the results to include only the records with the last name 'Doe'.

UPDATE statement:

An SQL UPDATE statement maps to the file operation of modifying the records in the file(s) associated with the table based on the conditions specified in the query.

Example SQL statement:

UPDATE users
SET first_name = 'Jane'
WHERE last_name = 'Doe';

File operations:

Locate the records with the last name 'Doe' in the users table's file(s) on the database server.
Modify the first_name value of the located records to 'Jane'.

DELETE statement:

An SQL DELETE statement maps to the file operation of removing records from the file(s) associated with the table based on the conditions specified in the query.

Example SQL statement:

DELETE FROM users
WHERE last_name = 'Doe';

File operations:

Locate the records with the last name 'Doe' in the users table's file(s) on the database server.
Remove the located records from the users table's file(s).

DROP TABLE statement:

An SQL DROP TABLE statement maps to the file operation of deleting the file(s) associated with the table from the database server.

Example SQL statement:

DROP TABLE users;

File operations:

Delete the users table's file(s) from the database server.

Understanding how SQL statements map to file operations can be helpful when trying to optimize queries, diagnose performance issues, or grasp the underlying mechanisms of database management systems. Keep in mind that the actual file operations might vary depending on the database system and storage engine used, as well as any optimizations applied by the system.
