Give me all MySQL commands

syntax in detail
There are many MySQL commands, but here are some of the most
important ones with their syntax:

SELECT - This command is used to extract data from a database.


The syntax is:

SELECT column_name, column_name

FROM table_name;

For example, the following command will extract the name and
age columns from the customers table:

SELECT name, age

FROM customers;

UPDATE - This command is used to update data in a database. The


syntax is:

UPDATE table_name

SET column_name = new_value

WHERE condition;

For example, the following command will update the age of all
customers whose name is "John" to 25:

UPDATE customers

SET age = 25
WHERE name = 'John';

DELETE - This command is used to delete data from a database. The


syntax is:

DELETE FROM table_name

WHERE condition;

For example, the following command will delete all customers whose
age is greater than 30:

DELETE FROM customers

WHERE age > 30;

INSERT INTO - This command is used to insert new data into a


database. The syntax is:

INSERT INTO table_name (column_name, column_name)

VALUES (value, value);

For example, the following command will insert a new customer into
the customers table with the name "Jane Doe" and the age 20:

INSERT INTO customers (name, age)

VALUES ('Jane Doe', 20);

CREATE DATABASE - This command is used to create a new


database. The syntax is:

CREATE DATABASE database_name;

ALTER DATABASE - This command is used to modify a database.


The syntax is:
ALTER DATABASE database_name

MODIFY CHARACTER SET charset_name

COLLATE collation_name;

CREATE TABLE - This command is used to create a new table. The


syntax is:

CREATE TABLE table_name (

column_name1 datatype,

column_name2 datatype,

...

table_constraints

);

For example, the following command will create a new table called
customers with two columns: name (a string) and age (an integer):

CREATE TABLE customers (

name VARCHAR(255),

age INT

);

ALTER TABLE - This command is used to modify a table. The syntax


is:

ALTER TABLE table_name


ADD column_name datatype;

For example, the following command will add a new column called
email (a string) to the customers table:

ALTER TABLE customers

ADD email VARCHAR(255);

DROP TABLE - This command is used to delete a table. The syntax


is:

DROP TABLE table_name;

For example, the following command will delete the customers table:

DROP TABLE customers;

CREATE INDEX - This command is used to create an index on a


table. An index is a data structure that helps MySQL find data more
quickly. The syntax is:

CREATE INDEX index_name ON table_name (column_name);

For example, the following command will create an index called


name_index on the name column of the customers table:

CREATE INDEX name_index ON customers (name);

DROP INDEX - This command is used to delete an index. The syntax


is:

DROP INDEX index_name ON table_name;

For example, the following command will delete the


name_index index from the customers table:
DROP INDEX name_index ON customers;

These are just some of the most important MySQL commands. For
more information, please refer to the MySQL documentation:
