MODULE 1 · Reading data

Selecting columns

Selecting columns

A SELECT query describes the data you want to see. Start by being specific about the columns and table rather than selecting everything by habit.

Learning objectives

• Select named columns
• Read a basic table query

Choose only the fields needed for a question. Focus on explaining each decision in your own words before relying on a pattern or shortcut.

Example

SELECT name, email
FROM customers;
