SQL Made Simple: Understanding the SELECT Statement

Lets Crack it!

Syntax:

SELECT * — Retrieves all columns

FROM table_name; — Specifies where to look

Example:

SELECT name, age — Picks names and ages

FROM users; — Finds them in the users list

Why Use SELECT? SELECT lets you choose what you want from a big list. It’s like picking toys from a box!

Uses:

1. Getting Everything:

SELECT * FROM toys;

This gets all the toys in the toy box.

1. Picking Specific Toys:

SELECT doll, car FROM toys;

This picks just the dolls and cars.

Your Turn: Imagine a toy_box with toys named teddy, robot, and ball. How would you tell the computer to show you all the toys?
