SQL Select Query:

SQL Select Query is used to select data from a Database.

Syntax:

SELECT column_name_1, column_name_2, .. column_name_n FROM table_name;

1	SELECT column_name_1, column_name_2, .. column_name_n FROM table_name;

SELECT * FROM table_name

1	SELECT * FROM table_name

where * represents all the columns of the table.

Example:

To get all the records from a table. I have a sample table named ‘SCOREBOARD’. Using the Select query, we could get all the records from the table.

Check this post on how to create a table in SQL.

How To Create Table in SQL

SELECT * FROM SCOREBOARD;

1	SELECT * FROM SCOREBOARD;

To get particular column records from a table using SQL Select Query:

Syntax:

SELECT column_name_3 FROM table_name;

1	SELECT column_name_3 FROM table_name;

Example:

By using the below code, we could fetch just from one particular column say ‘Playername’ from the table ‘SCOREBOARD’

SELECT Playername FROM SCOREBOARD;

1	SELECT Playername FROM SCOREBOARD;
