The Symphony of SQL SELECT: An Overture to Data Elegance
In the grand orchestration of databases, the SQL SELECT statement emerges as the conductor, orchestrating a harmonious flow of data. Let us delve into the syntax, examples, and nuances of this melodic command.
The Prologue: Crafting the Syntax
Behold the fundamental syntax of the SQL SELECT statement, a majestic composition in its simplicity:
-- Fetching specific columnsSELECT column1, column2, columnN FROM table_name;
-- Reveling in the splendor of all columnsSELECT * FROM table_name;
The Tale of Tables: A Symphony in Creation
As our narrative unfolds, imagine a tableau where the table CUSTOMERS comes to life through the wizardry of the CREATE TABLE statement. Witness the birth of a masterpiece:
CREATE TABLE CUSTOMERS (ID INT NOT NULL,
NAME VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL,
AGE INT NOT NULL,
ADDRESS CHAR (25),
SALARY DECIMAL (18, 2),
PRIMARY KEY (ID)
);
The Ephemeral Dance of Data: INSERTing the RecordsIn the dance of creation, records pirouette onto the stage through the enchanting INSERT statement:
INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS VALUES(1, 'Ramesh', 32, 'Ahmedabad', 2000.00 ),
(2, 'Khilan', 25, 'Delhi', 1500.00 ),
(3, 'Kaushik', 23, 'Kota', 2000.00 ),
(4, 'Chaitali', 25, 'Mumbai', 6500.00 ),
(5, 'Hardik', 27, 'Bhopal', 8500.00 ),
(6, 'Komal', 22, 'Hyderabad', 4500.00 ),
(7, 'Muffy', 24, 'Indore', 10000.00 );
Act I: SELECTing Specific Columns - A Precise SonataIn the first act, our SELECT statement performs a sonata, echoing only the voices of "ID," "NAME," and "SALARY":
