sales. Second, we need to make sure that all the sales figures are grouped by stores. The corresponding SQL syntax is,
SQL Wildcard
SQL LIKE SELECT "column_name1", SUM("column_name2")
SQL ORDER BY FROM "table_name"
SQL GROUP BY GROUP BY "column_name1";
SQL HAVING
SQL ALIAS Let's illustrate using the following table,
SQL AS
SQL SELECT UNIQUE
Table Store_Information
SQL JOIN
Store_Name Sales Txn_Date
SQL INNER JOIN
Los Angeles 1500 Jan-05-1999
SQL OUTER JOIN
San Diego 250 Jan-07-1999
SQL LEFT OUTER JOIN
SQL CROSS JOIN Los Angeles 300 Jan-08-1999
SQL INSERT INTO Boston 700 Jan-08-1999
SQL INSERT INTO SELECT
We want to find total sales for each store. To do so, we would key in,
SQL UPDATE
SQL DELETE FROM
SELECT Store_Name, SUM(Sales)
Advanced SQL FROM Store_Information
SQL UNION GROUP BY Store_Name;
SQL UNION ALL
SQL Inline View Result:
SQL INTERSECT
SQL MINUS Store_Name SUM(Sales)
SQL LIMIT Los Angeles 1800
SQL TOP San Diego 250
SQL Subquery Boston 700
SQL EXISTS
SQL CASE

SQL MAX
SELECT "column_name1", "column_name2", ... "column_nameN", Function("column_nameN+1")

SQL SUM GROUP BY "column_name1", "column_name2", ... "column_nameN";
