SELECT * FROM Customers ORDER BY Country; (default is ascending)
SELECT * FROM Customers ORDER BY Country DESC;
5)INSERT INTO:- The INSERT INTO statement is used to insert new records in a
table.
INSERT INTO table_name (column1,column2,column3,...)
VALUES (value1,value2,value3,...);
INSERT INTO table_name
VALUES (value1,value2,value3,...);

WHERE CustomerName='Alfreds Futterkiste';
7)DELETE:- The DELETE statement is used to delete records in a table.

8)SELECT TOP:- The SELECT TOP clause is used to specify the number of records
to return.
SELECT TOP 2 * FROM Customers;

character(s) in a string.
SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE City LIKE 'ber%';

heading.
SELECT column_name AS alias_name FROM table_name;

SELECT CustomerName, Address+', '+City+', '+PostalCode+', '+Country AS
Address FROM Customers;
JOINS: SQL joins are used to combine rows from two or more tables.
1)SQL INNER JOIN (simple join). An SQL INNER JOIN returns all rows from
multiple tables where the join condition is met.
SELECT Orders.OrderID, Customers.CustomerName, Orders.OrderDate
FROM Orders
INNER JOIN Customers
ON Orders.CustomerID=Customers.CustomerID;
 INNER JOIN: Returns all rows when there is at least one match in BOTH
tables
 LEFT JOIN: Return all rows from the left table, and the matched rows
from the right table
 RIGHT JOIN: Return all rows from the right table, and the matched rows
from the left table
 FULL JOIN: Return all rows when there is a match in ONE of the tables
2)The LEFT JOIN keyword returns all rows from the left table (table1), with
the matching rows in the right table (table2). The result is NULL in the right side
when there is no match.
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table1
LEFT JOIN table2
ON table1.column_name=table2.column_name;
3) The RIGHT JOIN keyword returns all rows from the right table (table2),
with the matching rows in the left table (table1). The result is NULL in the left
side when there is no match.
FROM table1
RIGHT JOIN table2
4)The FULL OUTER JOIN keyword returns all rows from the left table (table1)
and from the right table (table2).
FROM table1
FULL OUTER JOIN table2
1)UNION:-The SQL UNION operator combines the result of two or more SELECT
statements.
each SELECT statement within the UNION must have the same number of
columns. The columns must also have similar data types. Also, the columns in
each SELECT statement must be in the same order
SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1 UNION SELECT column_name(s) FROM table2;
SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1 UNION ALL

SELECT column_name(s) FROM table2;
2)SELECT INTO:- The SELECT INTO statement selects data from one table and
inserts it into a new table.
SELECT *
INTO newtable [IN externaldb]
FROM table1;
INTO newtable [IN externaldb]
FROM table1;
3)INSERT INTO SELECT:- The INSERT INTO SELECT statement selects data from
one table and inserts it into an existing table
INSERT INTO table2
SELECT * FROM table1;
INSERT INTO table2
(column_name(s))
FROM table1;
4)CREATE DATABASE:- The CREATE DATABASE statement is used to create a

database.
CREATE DATABASE dbname;
5)CREATE TABLE:- The CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a table in a

database.
CREATE TABLE table_name
(
column_name1 data_type(size),
....
);
CONSTRAINTS:-
 NOT NULL - Indicates that a column cannot store NULL value
 UNIQUE - Ensures that each row for a column must have a unique value
 PRIMARY KEY - A combination of a NOT NULL and UNIQUE. Ensures that
a column (or combination of two or more columns) have a unique identity
which helps to find a particular record in a table more easily and quickly
 FOREIGN KEY - Ensure the referential integrity of the data in one table
to match values in another table
 CHECK - Ensures that the value in a column meets a specific condition
 DEFAULT - Specifies a default value for a column
5)DROP:-
The DROP TABLE statement is used to delete a table.
DROP TABLE table_name

DROP DATABASE database_name
if we only want to delete the data inside the table, and not the table itself
TRUNCATE TABLE table_name
6)ALTER :-
The ALTER TABLE statement is used to add, delete, or modify columns in an

existing table.
ALTER TABLE table_name ADD column_name datatype
ALTER TABLE table_name DROP COLUMN column_name
