In this video, we introduce the most basic form of the SELECT statement, the data retrieval operation in SQL. A data retrieval operation is often called a "query" because it presents a question to the database.
The general structure or syntax of a SELECT statement will be presented using simple examples in order to focus on the details of this statement’s structure.
Queries developed in this lecture will only involve a single table.
Example statements used in this video can be found on our website: www.timhartley.com
