Overview

A query consists in at least one (SELECT) and at most six categories of clauses:

SELECT [...] FROM [...] WHERE [...] GROUP BY [...] HAVING [...] ORDER BY [...];


Upon execution, an SQL query returns a result set.


Select all (possibly across multiple tables) then filter and discard with where.

Example

SELECT id, name FROM person WHERE id = 1;

The following query:

SELECT;

is valid, it returns one empty row.
