Database Table Manipulation


I. INSERT INTO Statement
 It inserts new data entries in a database table.
 It can be written in two (2) forms:
o The first statement does not specify any column names and simply contains the
values that will be put in their respective fields.
o The second statement specifies column names and the values that will be inserted
in them.

II. UPDATE Statement


 It updates existing data in a database table.
 The SET clause defines which field is to be updated as a condition.

III. DELETE Statement


 It deletes rows/data entries in a table.
 It also uses the WHERE clause to find a given condition, and then delete the row
containing that condition.
 Removing the WHERE clause will delete ALL the records/rows/entries in a table.
 Careful consideration must be given when deleting all records as this action cannot be
undone once the statement is executed.
