COMMANDS

ALTER TABLE
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name datatype;

ALTER TABLE lets you add columns to a table in a database.

AND
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_1 = value_1
AND column_2 = value_2;

ANDis an operator that combines two conditions. Both conditions must be true for the
row to be included in the result set.

AS
SELECT column_name AS 'Alias'
FROM table_name;

AS is a keyword in SQL that allows you to rename a column or table using an alias.

AVG()
SELECT AVG(column_name)
FROM table_name;

AVG() is an aggregate function that returns the average value for a numeric column.

BETWEEN
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name BETWEEN value_1 AND value_2;

The BETWEEN operator is used to filter the result set within a certain range. The values can
be numbers, text or dates.
CASE
SELECT column_name,
CASE
WHEN condition THEN 'Result_1'
WHEN condition THEN 'Result_2'
ELSE 'Result_3'
END
FROM table_name;

CASE statements are used to create different outputs (usually in the SELECT statement). It
is SQL's way of handling if-then logic.

COUNT()
SELECT COUNT(column_name)
FROM table_name;

is a function that takes the name of a column as an argument and counts the
COUNT()
number of rows where the column is not NULL.

CREATE TABLE
CREATE TABLE table_name (
column_1 datatype,
column_2 datatype,
column_3 datatype
);

CREATE TABLE creates a new table in the database. It allows you to specify the name of
the table and the name of each column in the table.

DELETE
DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE some_column = some_value;

DELETE statements are used to remove rows from a table.

GROUP BY
SELECT column_name, COUNT(*)
FROM table_name
GROUP BY column_name;
GROUP BY is a clause in SQL that is only used with aggregate functions. It is used in
collaboration with the SELECT statement to arrange identical data into groups.

HAVING
SELECT column_name, COUNT(*)
FROM table_name
GROUP BY column_name
HAVING COUNT(*) > value;

HAVING was added to SQL because the WHERE keyword could not be used with aggregate
functions.

INNER JOIN
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_1
JOIN table_2
ON table_1.column_name = table_2.column_name;

An inner join will combine rows from different tables if the join condition is true.

INSERT
INSERT INTO table_name (column_1, column_2, column_3)
VALUES (value_1, 'value_2', value_3);

INSERT statements are used to add a new row to a table.

IS NULL / IS NOT NULL

IS NULL and IS NOT NULL are operators used with the WHERE clause to test for empty
values.

LIKE
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name LIKE pattern;

LIKEis a special operator used with the WHERE clause to search for a specific pattern in a
column.

LIMIT
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
LIMIT number;

LIMIT is a clause that lets you specify the maximum number of rows the result set will
have.

MAX()
SELECT MAX(column_name)
FROM table_name;

MAX() is a function that takes the name of a column as an argument and returns the
largest value in that column.

MIN()
SELECT MIN(column_name)
FROM table_name;

MIN() is a function that takes the name of a column as an argument and returns the
smallest value in that column.

OR
SELECT column_name
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name = value_1
OR column_name = value_2;

OR is an operator that filters the result set to only include rows where either condition is
true.

ORDER BY
SELECT column_name
FROM table_name
ORDER BY column_name ASC | DESC;

ORDER BY is a clause that indicates you want to sort the result set by a particular column
either alphabetically or numerically.

OUTER JOIN
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_1
LEFT JOIN table_2
ON table_1.column_name = table_2.column_name;

An outer join will combine rows from different tables even if the join condition is not
met. Every row in the left table is returned in the result set, and if the join condition is
not met, then NULL values are used to fill in the columns from the right table.

ROUND()
SELECT ROUND(column_name, integer)
FROM table_name;

ROUND() is a function that takes a column name and an integer as an argument. It rounds
the values in the column to the number of decimal places specified by the integer.

SELECT
SELECT column_name
FROM table_name;

SELECTstatements are used to fetch data from a database. Every query will begin with
SELECT.

SELECT DISTINCT
SELECT DISTINCT column_name
FROM table_name;

SELECT DISTINCT specifies that the statement is going to be a query that returns unique
values in the specified column(s).

SUM
SELECT SUM(column_name)
FROM table_name;

SUM() is a function that takes the name of a column as an argument and returns the sum
of all the values in that column.

UPDATE
UPDATE table_name
SET some_column = some_value
WHERE some_column = some_value;

UPDATE statements allow you to edit rows in a table.

WHERE
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name operator value;

WHEREis a clause that indicates you want to filter the result set to include only rows
where the following condition is true.

WITH
WITH temporary_name AS (
SELECT *
FROM table_name)
SELECT *
FROM temporary_name
WHERE column_name operator value;
