Summary

In this chapter, we covered the SELECT query in detail, starting with its syntax and creating our own queries, customizing and limiting column names, and then creating our own calculated columns. We also saw how to control the ordering of the results we get, as well as how to limit the results using the LIMIT and DISTINCT keywords. In the next chapter, we will learn how to shape our statements and narrow down the results further using the WHERE clause.
