2. **Join Query: Combine Data from Multiple Tables**

t2.common_column;`

- **Usage:** Join two or more tables based on a common column to get related data.

5. **Case Statement: Conditional Logic in Queries**

`SELECT column1, CASE WHEN condition1 THEN 'Result1' WHEN condition2 THEN 'Result2'
ELSE 'Default' END FROM table_name;`

- **Usage:** Apply conditional logic to transform or classify data within a query.

`SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name ORDER BY column1 DESC;`

- **Usage:** Order the result set based on one or more columns, in ascending or
descending order.

7. **Limiting Results: Fetch Top N Rows**


`SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name ORDER BY column1 LIMIT 10;`

- **Usage:** Limit the number of rows returned by a query.

8. **Updating Data: Modify Existing Records**

`UPDATE table_name SET column1 = 'new_value' WHERE condition;`

- **Usage:** Update one or more records in a table based on a condition.
