WHERE allows you to filter data


based on specific conditions,
such as selecting rows where a
certain column meets a
particular criteria

GROUP BY is used to group rows


with similar values in one or
more columns together, often in

functions like SUM, AVG, COUNT,
etc
ORDER BY

Query:

ORDER BY sorts the result set


by one or more columns in
ascending or descending order
HAVING

Query:

Result:

HAVING works with GROUP BY to


filter grouped data based on
conditions, similar to WHERE but
for grouped data
AGGREGATE
FUNCTIONS

Aggregate functions allow you


to perform calculations on
groups of data, such as finding
the sum, average, count,
minimum, or maximum value of a
column
DISTINCT

DISTINCT removes duplicate


rows from the result set,
showing only unique values.
BETWEEN/AND

matching in text data, often
with wildcard characters.

IN specifies a list of values to


check against in a WHERE
clause.
NULL

Query:

Result:

NULL is used to filter or check


for null values in columns.
LIMIT/TOP

Query:

LIMIT/TOP limits the number of


rows returned by a query, useful
for sampling data or controlling
