Release Date: August, 2015 Updates

This document provides an update to the SELECT clause syntax in SQL. The SELECT clause allows you to select columns, expressions, and tables. It supports optional keywords like DISTINCT and TOP/LIMIT and uses brackets [ ] to denote optional parts and pipes | to denote "or" choices. Date values must be enclosed in single quotes and can be formatted with dashes or slashes separating the day, month, and 4-digit year. The month should be abbreviated to three characters in uppercase, lowercase, or initial capitalization.
