Practical – 97 : MY SQLમાં Simple Select Queriesનો ઉપયોગ કરવો.

Example 1: Selecting Specific Columns

Retrieve only first_name and last_name columns

SELECT first_name, last_name
FROM employees;

This example retrieves the first_name and last_name columns from the employees table.

Output:

+————+———–+
| first_name | last_name |
+————+———–+
| John       | Doe       |
| Jane       | Smith     |
| Robert     | Johnson   |
+————+———–+

Explanation:

  • The query retrieves the first_name and last_name columns from the employees table.
  • The result set displays the names of all employees in the table.
  •  

Example 2: Selecting All Columns

This query will retrieve the entire employee table.

SELECT * from employees;

Output:

+————-+————+———–+——–+
| employee_id | first_name | last_name | salary |
+————-+————+———–+——–+
| 1           | John       | Doe       | 50000  |
| 2           | Jane       | Smith     | 60000  |
| 3           | Robert     | Johnson   | 75000  |
+————-+————+———–+——–+

 Example 3: Performing Arithmetic Operations

SELECT 32*32

Output:

+——-+
| 32*32 |
+——-+
|  1024 |
+——-+

We can also use SELECT statements to perform, basic mathematical operations.

MySQL SELECT DISTINCT Statement

MySQL SELECT DISTINCT Statement is used to retrieve only distinct data from a field/column.

It is very used to remove duplicates from the results.

Syntax:

SELECT DISTINCT column1, column2, …
FROM table_name

 The MySQL SELECT statement is crucial for fetching specific data from tables, whether retrieving entire rows or selected columns. It supports filtering with WHERE, sorting with ORDER BY, and limiting results with LIMIT. Additionally, SELECT can perform calculations and handle distinct values with SELECT DISTINCT, making it versatile for various database querying needs.
