structured query language - A specialized programming language which is standardized to be

used for managing relational databases and performing various operations on the data.
Clause - An element of SQL which is a constituent components of statements and queries.
Expression - It is and element which can have either scalar values, or tables consisting of
columns and rows of data
Predicates - Used to specify conditions that can be evaluated to SQL three-valued logic (3VL)
(true/false/unknown) or Boolean truth values (true/false) and are used to limit the effects of
statements and queries, or to change program flow.
Queries - Are used to retrieve the data based on specific criteria.
Statements - It is which may have a persistent effect on schema and data, or may control
transactions, program flow, connections, sessions, or diagnostics.
Semicolon (:) - SQL statements include a special character to terminate statements
SELECT - A command which selects attribute from rows in one or more tables or views
BETWEEN - An operator which checks whether an attribute value is within a range
COUNT - A function which returns the number of rows with non-null values for a given column
WHERE - Command which restricts the selection of rows based on a conditional expression.
MAX - Returns the maximum attribute value found in a given column
Distinct - An operator which limits values to unique values
is null - Checks whether an attribute value is null
in - Checks whether an attribute value matches any value within a value list
Update - Modifies an attribute's values in one or more table's rows
Having - Restricts the selection of grouped rows based on a condition
Grant - Gives a user permission to take a system action or access a data object.
Inner join - Creates a new result table by combining column values of two tables (table1 and
table2) based upon the join-predicate. The query compares each row of table1 with each row
of table2 to find all pairs of rows which satisfy the join-predicate. When the join-predicate is
satisfied, column values for each matched pair of rows of A and B are combined into a result
row.
Outer Join - Returns all rows from both the participating tables which satisfy the join condition
along with rows which do not satisfy the join condition.
Order by - A clause which is used to sort the records in the result set for a SELECT statement.
As - Allows you to rename a column or table using an alias.
Left join - Returns all rows from the left table, and the matched rows from the right table.
Rows in the left table will be returned even if there was no match in the right table. The rows
from the left table with no match in the right table will have null for right table values.
Right - Returns all rows from the right table, and the matched rows from the left table.
Opposite of a left join, this will return all rows from the right table even where there is no
match in the left table. Rows in the right table that have no match in the left table will have null
values for left table columns.
Like - Used in a WHERE or HAVING (as part of the GROUP BY) to limit the selected rows to the
items when a column has a certain pattern of characters contained in it.
Create table - Creates a table in the database. You can specify the name of the table and the
columns that should be in the table.
Natural join - Returns all rows with matching values in the matching columns and
eliminates duplicate columns.
FULL OUTER JOIN - Returns all rows for which there is a match in either of the tables. So if
there are rows in the left table that do not have matches in the right table, those will be
included. Also, if there are rows in the right table that do not have matches in the left table,
those will be included.
AVG - Returns the average of all values for a given column
Like - Checks whether an attribute value matches a given string pattern.
