Introduction
SQL is a declarative programming language used to access and
manage databases. The SQL statements use simple language and are
easy to understand and remember.
Let us work with a database that is responsible for maintaining the
details of students, teachers, courses and prints grades of students.
The entity relationship diagram along with the entity descriptions is
given. We will use this database as an example for learning queries.

Student CourseGrade Course

Teacher

Student (StudentID, StudentName, Major, DateOfBirth)

CourseGrade (CourseID, StudentID, Grades)
Course (CourseID, CourseTitle, TeacherID)
Teacher (TeacherID, TeacherName, DateOfJoining)
The part of table ‘Student’ is given.

S918 Paul Ingram Architecture 14/05/1998
S241 Rosemarie Collin Science 19/07/1999
S511 John Rayner Business 12/11/1998
S256 Alan Cross Economics 12/08/1999
S791 Samuel Smith Architecture 19/10/1999

The syntax for a SELECT query in SQL is:
SELECT field_names FROM table_name WHERE condition ORDER BY
field_name
A * symbol is used for field_names if all columns are to be displayed.
The query to print the complete table is:
SELECT * FROM Student
The query to print StudentName and StudentID of students born in
the year 1998 in alphabetical order is:
SELECT StudentID, StudentName FROM Student WHERE DateOfBirth
BETWEEN #01/01/1998# AND #31/12/1998# ORDER BY StudentName
The ORDER BY clause by default orders in ascending order. The result
for this query is:

StudentI
StudentName
D

S511 John Rayner
