Abstract

In this chapter, you will start to access the seven case tables with SQL. To be more precise, you will learn how to retrieve data from your database. For data retrieval, the SQL language offers the SELECT command, introduced in Section 4.1. SQL statements that use the SELECT command are commonly referred to as queries.
