EXERCISES

1. Define the different capabilities of SELECT statement? Give an example of


each.

The SELECT statement in SQL is a powerful tool used for querying databases. It has several
capabilities that allow users to retrieve, filter, and manipulate data. Below are the key
capabilities of the SELECT statement, along with examples for each:

● Selecting All Columns:

This is the most basic form of a SELECT statement, where all columns of a table are retrieved.

SELECT * FROM employees;

This will retrieve all columns from the employees table.

● Selecting Specific Columns:

Instead of selecting all columns, you can specify which columns to retrieve.

SELECT first_name, last_name, department FROM employees;

This will retrieve only the first_name, last_name, and department columns from
the employees table.

● Sorting Data with ORDER BY:

You can sort the result set in ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order based on one or
more columns.

SELECT first_name, last_name FROM employees ORDER BY last_name ASC;

This will retrieve the first_name and last_name of employees, sorted by last_name
in ascending order.

● Filtering Data with WHERE:

You can filter the rows based on specific conditions using the WHERE clause.

SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department = 'Sales';

This will retrieve all columns for employees who work in the 'Sales' department.

● Grouping Data with GROUP BY:

The GROUP BY clause is used to group rows that have the same values in specified columns.
Often used with aggregate functions (like COUNT, SUM, AVG).

SELECT department, COUNT(*) FROM employees GROUP BY department;

This will return the number of employees in each department.
