SQL Basics
Data Manipulation
Data Modification
Advanced SQL
SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It's a programming language designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS).
SQL statements are written in plain text and consist of keywords, identifiers, and literals. Keywords are predefined words with special meanings, like SELECT, FROM, WHERE, etc. Identifiers are user-defined names for tables, columns, and other database objects. Literals are fixed values, such as numbers, strings, and dates.
To create a database, use the CREATE DATABASE statement followed by the database name.
CREATE DATABASE your_database_name;To create a table, use the CREATE TABLE statement followed by the table name and column definitions.
CREATE TABLE your_table_name (
column1 datatype,
column2 datatype,
...
);š Note: Replace your_database_name and your_table_name with your desired database and table names. Choose appropriate data types for columns.
