SELECTkomennolla

SELECTkomennolla is a Finnish term that translates to "with the SELECT command" in English. It refers to the usage of the SQL SELECT statement, a fundamental command in relational database management systems. The SELECT command is employed to retrieve data from one or more tables within a database. Its primary function is to specify which columns and rows should be returned from the queried tables.

The basic syntax of a SELECT command involves the SELECT keyword followed by a list of columns to be retrieved, and the FROM keyword followed by the table(s) from which the data originates. For instance, SELECT nimi, ikä FROM käyttäjät would retrieve the "nimi" (name) and "ikä" (age) columns from the "käyttäjät" (users) table.

SELECTkomennolla is often used in conjunction with other SQL clauses to refine the data retrieval process. These clauses include WHERE for filtering rows based on specific conditions, ORDER BY for sorting the results, and JOIN for combining data from multiple related tables. Mastering SELECTkomennolla is essential for anyone working with relational databases, as it forms the basis for all data querying operations. Developers and database administrators frequently use this command to access, analyze, and manipulate information stored in databases.
