SELECT

SELECT allows you to define what data you want your query to return.
Ex: SELECT changes FROM patterns;

SELECT *
SELECT used with an asterisk (*) will return all of the columns in the table we're
querying.
Ex: SELECT * patterns;

FROM
FROM specifies the table we're pulling our data from.
Ex: SELECT changes FROM patterns;

WHERE
WHERE filters your query to only return results that match a set condition.
Ex: SELECT changes FROM patterns WHERE changes = ‘strip-tagin’;

AND
AND combines two or more conditions in a single query.
Ex: SELECT changes FROM patterns WHERE changes = ‘strip-tagin’ AND material = ‘Y-
polym’;

OR
OR is the same with AND but only one condition must be met.
Ex: SELECT changes FROM patterns WHERE changes = ‘strip-tagin’ OR material-A = 25;

BETWEEN
BETWEEN filters your query to return only results that fit a specified range.
Ex: SELECT changes FROM patterns WHERE material-A BETWEEN 25 AND 40;

LIKE
LIKE searches for a specified pattern in a column.
Ex: SELECT changes FROM patterns WHERE color LIKE ‘red’;

IN
IN allows us to specify multiple values we want to select for when using the WHERE
command.
Ex: SELECT changes FROM patterns WHERE color IN (‘red’, ‘green’, ‘white’);

IS NULL
IS NULL will return only rows with a NULL value.
Ex: SELECT changes FROM patterns WHERE color IS NULL;
IS NOT NULL
IS NOT NULL does the opposite it will return only rows without a NULL value.
Ex: SELECT changes FROM patterns WHERE changes IS NOT NULL;

CREATE DATABASE
CREATE DATABASE creates a new database.
Ex: CREATE DATABASE 3dPrintLib;

CREATE TABLE
CREATE TABLE creates a new table inside a database.
Ex: CREATE TABLE figurines (
M_id int,
name varchar(200),
material varchar(200),
M_amount int
);

CREATE INDEX
CREATE INDEX generates an index for a table.
Ex: CREATE INDEX idx_name ON figurines (name);

DROP DATABASE
DROP DATABASE deletes the entire database including all of its tables.
Ex: DROP DATABASE 3dPrintLib;

DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE deletes a table as well as the data within it.
Ex: DROP TABLE figurines;
DROP INDEX
DROP INDEX deletes an index within a database.
Ex: DROP INDEX idx_name;

UPDATE
The UPDATE statement is used to update data in a table.
Ex: UPDATE figurines SET M_amount = 45 WHERE name = ‘simon’;

DELETE
DELETE can remove all rows from a table.
Ex: DELETE FROM figurines material;

ALTER TABLE
ALTER TABLE allows you to add or remove columns from a table.
Ex: ALTER TABLE figurines
ADD pattern varchar(100);

ALTER TABLE figurines


DROP COLUMN material;
