Net Database SQL 10

This document provides an introduction and overview of SQL (Structured Query Language). It outlines the key components of a basic SELECT statement including the SELECT, FROM, and WHERE clauses. It then provides examples of SELECT statements to retrieve data from tables based on different conditions, operators, and functions. Specifically, it demonstrates how to use comparison operators (> < =), the BETWEEN operator, IN to specify multiple values, and SELECT * to return all columns. The goal is for readers to understand the basic syntax of a SELECT statement and be able to write SQL queries to interrogate and retrieve data from database tables.

Boring tedious warning


All programs and applications may have
slight variations on the syntax of SQL

We will go by what Edexcel are referring


to(It will be just a standard version)
You need to be able to interpret what
they are asking you

First example
Open the database document: Marksheet
SELECT Name FROM Marksheet WHERE
Assign1 > 50
What would you expect as a result?

First example
Name
Aisha
Katharine
Fiona
Gareth
Manjit
Ubaid
Gemma
Alex
Philip

Second example
Open the database document: Marksheet
SELECT Name, Average FROM Marksheet WHERE
Average > 0 AND Average < 65

SELECT Name, Assign1, Assign2, Assign3 FROM


Marksheet WHERE Assign1 <= 40 AND Assign2 <= 40
AND Assign3 <= 40

SELECT Name FROM Marksheet WHERE Assign1 < 50


OR Assign2 < 50 OR Assign3 < 50
What would you expect as a result?

Second example

Using = Select*
SELECT * FROM Marksheet WHERE Average > 70

What does the *


represent?

Second example

Using = Select*
SELECT * FROM Marksheet WHERE Average > 70
Name
