Creating, Updating and DeletingCreating and Deleting Records
CREATE and DELETE are considerably simpler than the SELECT statement we have been working with so far. More often than not, you’ll be building these queries with values entered by users, so this is a great time to discuss SQL injection attacks and how we can defend against them.

Creating, Updating and DeletingEXERCISE: Creating and Updating Orders
We’ll build the proper queries for creating new orders and updating existing ones, being sure to avoid susceptibility to SQL injection attacks.

Creating, Updating and DeletingTransactions
Transactions allow a sequence of SQL statements to be grouped together and treated by the database as one "all or nothing" unit. This important tool allows us to achieve an even higher level of data consistency and integrity - through the assurance that the entire transaction will either complete, or the database will be left totally unaffected.
