SQL Syntax

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a language used to communicate with databases. Its syntax provides clear rules for performing tasks like retrieving, updating, or organizing data. For example, "SELECT" asks for specific data, "FROM" specifies the table, and "WHERE" filters results based on conditions. Think of it as giving precise instructions to a digital filing cabinet, telling it what data to find, add, change, or remove. Proper syntax ensures clear, effective commands that the database can understand and execute accurately.
