SELECT The S E L E C T command retrieves SELECT column1, column2 SELECT first_name,


data from a database. FROM table_name; last_name FROM customers;

INSERT The INSERT command adds new INSERT INTO table_name INSERT INTO customers
records to a table. (column1, column2) (first_name,
VALUES (value1, value2); last_name) VALUES
('Mary', 'Doe');
UPDATE The UPDATE command is used UPDATE table_name SET
to modify existing records in a column1 = value1, column2 = UPDATE employees SET
table. value2 WHERE condition; employee_name = ‘John
Doe’, department =
‘Marketing’;
DELETE The D E L E T E command removes DELETE FROM table_name
records from a table. WHERE condition;
DELETE FROM employees
WHERE employee_name =
‘John Doe’;

Data Definition Language DDL Commands

VARCHAR(50),
age INT
);

ALTER The ALTER command adds, ALTER TABLE customers
