SQL - SELECT Query
SQL SELECT statement is used to fetch the data from a database table which returns data in the form of result table. These result tables are called result-sets.
Syntax:
The basic syntax of SELECT statement is as follows:
SELECT column1, column2, columnN FROM table_name;
Here, column1, column2...are the fields of a table whose values you want to fetch. If you want to fetch all the fields available in the field, then you can use the following syntax:
SELECT * FROM table_name;
Example:
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records:
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ | ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ | 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 | MP | 4500.00 | | 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 | +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
Following is an example, which would fetch ID, Name and Salary fields of the customers available in CUSTOMERS table:
SQL> SELECT ID, NAME, SALARY FROM CUSTOMERS;
This would produce the following result:
+----+----------+----------+ | ID | NAME | SALARY | +----+----------+----------+ | 1 | Ramesh | 2000.00 | | 2 | Khilan | 1500.00 | | 3 | kaushik | 2000.00 | | 4 | Chaitali | 6500.00 | | 5 | Hardik | 8500.00 | | 6 | Komal | 4500.00 | | 7 | Muffy | 10000.00 | +----+----------+----------+
If you want to fetch all the fields of CUSTOMERS table, then use the following query:
SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS;
This would produce the following result:
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ | ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ | 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 | MP | 4500.00 | | 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 | +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
