We will get an introduction to filtering data from our selections. This will give us control over what kind of data we fetch from the database. This section will cover the syntax for filtering data and various operators which can help us write robust conditions for conditional selection of data.

This section focuses on concepts related to sorting the tables based on the column values. Sorting can be useful in extracting the minimum or maximum values from a column or for making it easier to find relevant information quickly. We will also look at a keyword which can help us limit the number of rows that are fetched by our SELECT statements, making our queries more concise.

You will learn about useful queries and keywords that can help us in populating a database with some data. This will include queries for creating tables, and for inserting rows into those tables. We will also cover two additional keywords that can help us in making our tables more intractable and robust.
