Objective: To retrieve data from tables of a database using SQL SELECT Statement.
Tools: ORACLE/MySQL/Workbench Duration: 3 Hours

The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database. The data returned is stored in a
result table, called the result-set. Some of the Select statements are mentioned below.

1. The DISTINCT statement is used to return only distinct (different) values.

Syntax:
SELECT DISTINCT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name;

2. The SQL ALIAS is used to give a temporary name to a specific column in a table.

Syntax:
SELECT column_name(s)
AS alias_name
FROM table_name;

3. The WHERE clause is used to filter records. It is used to extract only those records that
fulfill a specified condition.

Syntax:
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

4. The ORDER BY keyword is used to sort the result-set in ascending or descending order.

Syntax:
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
ORDER BY column1, column2, ... ASC|DESC;

5. The LIKE operator is used in a WHERE clause to search for a specified pattern in a
column. Here are some examples showing different LIKE operators with '%'

• % The percent sign represents zero, one, or multiple characters.

• _ The underscore represents a single character.

LIKE Operator Description

WHERE CustomerName LIKE 'a%'
WHERE CustomerName LIKE '%a'
WHERE ContactName LIKE 'a%o'
WHERE ContactName LIKE '_a%'
Finds any values that start with "a"
Finds any values that end with "a"
Finds any values that start with "a" and
ends with "o"
Finds any value that starts with “a”
keeping the first character fixed.

Syntax:
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE columnName LIKE pattern;

Example:
SELECT last_name, job_id, salary
FROM employees
WHERE (job_id = 'SA_REP'
OR job_id = 'AD_PRES')
AND salary > 15000
ORDER BY last_name;

6. The BETWEEN operator selects values within a given range. The values
can be numbers, text, or dates.
