You can use the SELECT statement in SQL to retrieve values for specific rows and columns from a table. The syntax for selecting multiple columns is as follows:
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE some_column = some_value;
You can also use the WHERE clause to specify a condition for the rows you want to retrieve. For example, to retrieve all rows where the column “id” is greater than 5:
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE id > 5;
You can also use the LIMIT clause to limit the number of rows returned. For example, to retrieve the first 10 rows:
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
LIMIT 10;
You can also use the ORDER BY clause to sort the rows by one or more columns. For example, to sort the rows by column “name” in descending order:
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
ORDER BY name DESC;
It’s important to note that the order of the clauses in the query matters and will affect the final result.
