Concept explainers
Display values from table:
The contents from the table can be viewed by using “SELECT” statement which comes under Data Manipulation Language (DML). Syntax to view the contents using asterisk (*) is as follows:
SELECT * FROM table_Name;
Columns can also be retrieved by replacing all the column names in place of the asterisk symbol.
WHERE Statement:
“WHERE” statement is used limit the number of rows. For example: Consider a table “FTable” that has two columns named “FruitName” and “Color”. “WHERE” clause is used when there is a need to display the entire FruitName whose color is Red.
SELECT * FROM FTable WHERE color = 'red';
When the above statement is executed, red colored fruits get displayed.
