The SQL SELECT statement is used to select (retrieve) data from a database table. Example -- select first_name from Customers table SELECT first_name FROM Customers;The above SQL query selects the first_name of all the customers from the Customers table. SQL SELECT SyntaxThe syntax of the SQL SELECT statement is: SELECT column1, column2, ... FROM table;Here, column1, column2, ... are the table columns table is the table name from where we select the dataFor example, -- select first_name and last_name columns from Customers table SELECT first_name, last_name FROM Customers;Here, the SQL command selects the first_name and last_name of all customers in the Customers table.

For example, -- select all columns from Customers table SELECT * FROM Customers;Here, the SQL command selects all columns of the Customers table. Example: SQL SELECT All SQL SELECT WHERE ClauseA SELECT statement can have an optional WHERE clause. The WHERE clause allows us to fetch records from a database table that matches specified condition(s). For example, -- select all columns from the customers table with last_name 'Doe' SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE last_name = 'Doe';Here, the SQL command selects all customers from the Customers table with the last_name Doe. Example: SQL SELECT with WHERELet's look at another example. -- select age and country columns from customers table where the country is 'USA' SELECT age, country FROM Customers WHERE country = 'USA';Here, the SQL command selects the age and country columns of all the customers whose country is USA. Example: SQL SELECT with WHEREWe can also use the WHERE clause with the UPDATE statement to edit existing rows in a database table. Note: In SQL, we must enclose textual data inside either single or double quotations like 'USA'. SQL OperatorsThe WHERE clause uses operators to construct conditions. Some of the commonly used operators are: 1. Equal to Operator (=) -- select all columns from Customers table with first name 'John' SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE first_name = 'John';The above SQL command selects all the customers from the Customers table having first_name John. 2. Greater than (>) -- select all columns from Customers table with age greater than 25 SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE age > 25;The above SQL command selects all the customers from the Customers table whose age is greater than 25. 3. AND Operator (AND) -- select all columns from Customers table with last_name 'Doe' and country 'USA' SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE last_name = 'Doe' AND country = 'USA';The above SQL command selects all the customers from the Customers table having last_name Doe and country USA. Note: If none of the rows meet the WHERE clause condition, an empty result set is returned. To learn more about all the SQL operators in detail, visit SQL Operators. |
