Give me all MySQL commands
syntax in detail
There are many MySQL commands, but here are some of the most
important ones with their syntax:
SELECT - This command is used to extract data from a database.
The syntax is:
SELECT column_name, column_name
FROM table_name;
For example, the following command will extract the name and
age columns from the customers table:
SELECT name, age
FROM customers;
UPDATE - This command is used to update data in a database. The
syntax is:
UPDATE table_name
SET column_name = new_value
WHERE condition;
For example, the following command will update the age of all
customers whose name is "John" to 25:
UPDATE customers
SET age = 25
WHERE name = 'John';
DELETE - This command is used to delete data from a database. The
syntax is:
DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
For example, the following command will delete all customers whose
age is greater than 30:
DELETE FROM customers
WHERE age > 30;
INSERT INTO - This command is used to insert new data into a
database. The syntax is:
INSERT INTO table_name (column_name, column_name)
VALUES (value, value);
For example, the following command will insert a new customer into
the customers table with the name "Jane Doe" and the age 20:
INSERT INTO customers (name, age)
VALUES ('Jane Doe', 20);
CREATE DATABASE - This command is used to create a new
database. The syntax is:
CREATE DATABASE database_name;
ALTER DATABASE - This command is used to modify a database.
The syntax is:
ALTER DATABASE database_name
MODIFY CHARACTER SET charset_name
COLLATE collation_name;
CREATE TABLE - This command is used to create a new table. The
syntax is:
CREATE TABLE table_name (
column_name1 datatype,
column_name2 datatype,
...
table_constraints
);
For example, the following command will create a new table called
customers with two columns: name (a string) and age (an integer):
CREATE TABLE customers (
name VARCHAR(255),
age INT
);
ALTER TABLE - This command is used to modify a table. The syntax
is:
ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD column_name datatype;
For example, the following command will add a new column called
email (a string) to the customers table:
ALTER TABLE customers
ADD email VARCHAR(255);
DROP TABLE - This command is used to delete a table. The syntax
is:
DROP TABLE table_name;
For example, the following command will delete the customers table:
DROP TABLE customers;
CREATE INDEX - This command is used to create an index on a
table. An index is a data structure that helps MySQL find data more
quickly. The syntax is:
CREATE INDEX index_name ON table_name (column_name);
For example, the following command will create an index called
name_index on the name column of the customers table:
CREATE INDEX name_index ON customers (name);
DROP INDEX - This command is used to delete an index. The syntax
is:
DROP INDEX index_name ON table_name;
For example, the following command will delete the
name_index index from the customers table:
DROP INDEX name_index ON customers;
These are just some of the most important MySQL commands. For
