SQL SELECT Statement
• The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database.
• The data returned is stored in a result table, called the result-set.

• Syntax
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name;
The SQL WHERE Clause
• The WHERE clause is used to filter records.
• The WHERE clause is used to extract only those records that fulfill a
specified condition.

SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
The SQL AND, OR and NOT Operators
• The WHERE clause can be combined with AND, OR, and NOT
operators.
• The AND and OR operators are used to filter records based on more
than one condition:
• The AND operator displays a record if all the conditions separated by AND is
TRUE.
• The OR operator displays a record if any of the conditions separated by OR is
TRUE.
• The NOT operator displays a record if the condition(s) is NOT TRUE.
• AND Syntax
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition1 AND condition2 AND condition3 ...;
• OR Syntax
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition1 OR condition2 OR condition3 ...;
• NOT Syntax
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE NOT condition;
The SQL ORDER BY Keyword
• The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the result-set in ascending or
descending order.
• The ORDER BY keyword sorts the records in ascending order by
default. To sort the records in descending order, use the DESC
keyword.
• ORDER BY Syntax
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
ORDER BY column1, column2, ... ASC|DESC;
