The SELECT statement is used to select or retrieve the data from one or more tables.

The SELECT statement is used to retrieve all the rows from a table or as well as to retrieve only those rows that satisfy a certain condition


SELECT column1, column2, column3, ...
FROM table_name;

Here, column1, column2, column3, ... are the field names of the table you want to select data.

If you want to select all the fields available in the table, use the following syntax:


SELECT * FROM table_name;

Let's put these statements into real use.

We've a table named Students in our database that contains the following records:


SELECT ROLL_NO, NAME FROM Students;

The above SELECT statement selects two columns(ROLL_NO and NAME) from the above Students table.

Now we will select all the fields available in the table.


SELECT * FROM Students;

The above SELECT statement selects all columns from the Students table.
