Expressions are those of one or more values, operators, and calculated values SQL A combination of functions.

SQL Expressions, like formulas, are written in the query language. You can also use specific datasets to query the database.

1.15.1. Grammar

Hypothetical SELECT The basic syntax of the statement is as follows:

SELECT column1, column2, columnN
FROM table_name
WHERE [CONDITION | EXPRESSION];

There are different types of SQLite The expression is explained as follows:

1.15.2. SQLite-Boolean expression

SQLite Gets the data on the basis of matching a single value The syntax is as follows:

SELECT column1, column2, columnN
FROM table_name
WHERE SINGLE VALUE MATCHING EXPRESSION;

Hypothetical COMPANY The table has the following records:

ID          NAME        AGE         ADDRESS     SALARY
----------  ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------
1           Paul        32          California  20000.0
2           Allen       25          Texas       15000.0
3           Teddy       23          Norway      20000.0
4           Mark        25          Rich-Mond   65000.0
5           David       27          Texas       85000.0
6           Kim         22          South-Hall  45000.0
7           James       24          Houston     10000.0

The following example demonstrates SQLite Usage of Boolean expressions:

sqlite> SELECT * FROM COMPANY WHERE SALARY = 10000;
ID          NAME        AGE         ADDRESS     SALARY
----------  ----------  ----------  ----------  ----------
4           James        24          Houston   10000.0

1.15.3. SQLite-numeric expression

These expressions are used to perform any mathematical operations in the query. The syntax is as follows:

SELECT numerical_expression as  OPERATION_NAME
[FROM table_name WHERE CONDITION] ;

Here, numerical_expression is used for mathematical expressions or any formula. The following example demonstrates the use of SQLite numeric expressions:

sqlite> SELECT (15 + 6) AS ADDITION
ADDITION = 21

There are several built-in functions, such as avg() sum() count() , and so on, to perform a summary data calculation called a table or a specific table column.

sqlite> SELECT COUNT(*) AS "RECORDS" FROM COMPANY;
RECORDS = 7

1.15.4. SQLite-date expression

Date expressions return the current system date and time values, and these expressions will be used for various data operations.

sqlite>  SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP = 2013-03-17 10:43:35

Principles, Technologies, and Methods of Geographic Information Systems  102

In recent years, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have undergone rapid development in both theoretical and practical dimensions. GIS has been widely applied for modeling and decision-making support across various fields such as urban management, regional planning, and environmental remediation, establishing geographic information as a vital component of the information era. The introduction of the “Digital Earth” concept has further accelerated the advancement of GIS, which serves as its technical foundation. Concurrently, scholars have been dedicated to theoretical research in areas like spatial cognition, spatial data uncertainty, and the formalization of spatial relationships. This reflects the dual nature of GIS as both an applied technology and an academic discipline, with the two aspects forming a mutually reinforcing cycle of progress.
