SELECT Syntax

The SELECT.. FROM statement part of SQL is an example of the language's intutiive nature. Similar to how we'd say in English speech that "I am selecting buttons from the buttons", the SQL version works in the same way.

Cool-- the SELECT statement is used to get columns from a given table. Let's take a look at its syntax.

xxxxxxxxxx

SELECT column1Name, column2Name, ..., columnNName 

FROM tableName
