The SELECT keyword is the most commonly used SQL keyword, as it allows you to retrieve data from a database. It specifies which columns or expressions to retrieve from the selected table(s).
Example
For example, let's say you have a table called 'users', and you want to get the name of the user whose 'userid' is 1.
The query would be
SQL
SELECT name FROM users WHERE userid = 1;
Here, the SELECT keyword tells the server to fetch the 'name' column from the 'users' table.
Note:
Note: The SELECT keyword can also be used in combination with other clauses like WHERE, JOIN, ORDER BY, and more to filter, sort, and combine data from multiple tables.
