SQL keywords are the reserved words for SQL operations. These Keywords are used across SQL version for different functionalities.
keywords are case insensitive. So the keyword SELECT and select will behave in the same way. Let’s look at some of the commonly used SQL keywords.
- AVG: AVG is an aggregate function which will provide the average of the numeric column.
SELECT AVG(column_name) FROM table_name;
Output: Execution of this command will provide the average of column_name.

INSERT :INSERT用于在表中添加新行。 输出 :执行此命令将导致添加一个新行,并具有与各列相对应的值。
- LIKE: LIKE is an operator which is used for specifying a pattern. This operator is used along with WHERE clause.
SELECT column_name
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name LIKE pattern;
Output: Output will the rows that will satisfy the like pattern.
LIKE :LIKE是用于指定模式的运算符。 该运算符与WHERE子句一起使用。 输出 :将输出将满足类似模式的行。
- LIMIT: LIMIT is a clause which allows the restricting the result set rows to maximum number specified by the limit clause.
SELECT column_name
FROM table_name
LIMIT number;
Output: The resultset will be limited by the number that is provided as part of the limit clause.
LIMIT :LIMIT是一个子句,它允许将结果集行限制为limit子句指定的最大数目。 输出 :结果集将受到limit子句中提供的数字的限制。
- MAX: MAX is a function that will return the max value from the column specified.
SELECT MAX(column_name)
FROM table_name;
Output: The output will the maximum value specified in the column column_name.
MAX :MAX是一个函数,将从指定的列中返回最大值。 输出 :输出将为column_name列中指定的最大值。
- MIN: MIN is a function that will return the min value from the column specified.
SELECT MIN(column_name)
FROM table_name;
Output: The output will the minimum value specified in the column column_name.
MIN :MIN是一个函数,将从指定的列中返回最小值。 输出 :输出将为列column_name中指定的最小值。
- OR: OR is the operator that is used for selecting the rows based on satisfaction of either condition in WHERE clause.
SELECT column_name
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name = value1
OR column_name = value2;
Output: Result set will contain rows where column_name value will be either value1 or value2.
OR :OR是用于根据WHERE子句中任一条件的满足选择行的运算符。 输出 :结果集将包含column_name值为value1或value2的行。
- ORDER BY: ORDER BY is used for sorting of columns in ascending or descending order numerically or in alphabetical order.
SELECT column_name
FROM table_name
ORDER BY column_name ASC;
Output: On execution of the command above we will get the result set in ascending order.
ORDER BY :ORDER BY用于按数字或字母顺序以升序或降序对列进行排序。 输出 :执行上述命令后,我们将获得升序排列的结果集。
- LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN: These will combine rows from different tables even if the join condition is not met. Every row in the left/right table is returned in the result set, and if the join condition is not met, then NULL values are filled in the columns from the left/right table.
SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_1
LEFT JOIN table_2
ON table_1.column_name = table_2.column_name;

Output: Execution of the command above will result in rows from the table_2 along with rows which satisfies the condition from table_1.
LEFT JOIN,RIGHT JOIN :即使不满足联接条件,它们也会合并来自不同表的行。 左/右表中的每一行都返回到结果集中,如果不满足连接条件,则在左/右表的列中填充NULL值。 SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_1
LEFT JOIN table_2
ON table_1.column_name = table_2.column_name;
输出:执行上面的命令将导致table_1中的行以及满足table_2中条件的行

ROUND :ROUND是一个函数,它根据作为函数一部分指定的整数舍入列中指定的数字。 输出 :命令的输出将导致根据函数的一部分提供的整数舍入数字。
- SELECT: SELECT is used to fetch the data from the data base.
SELECT column_name FROM table_name
Output: On execution of this command the result set will contain rows for column column_name.
SELECT :SELECT用于从数据库中获取数据。 输出 :执行此命令时,结果集将包含column_name列的行。
- SELECT DISTINCT: SELECT DISTINCT is used for retrieving distinct values from the column that is specified.
SELECT DISTINCT column_name FROM table_name;
Output: On execution of the command above the result set will only contain the unique values from the column column_name.
SELECT DISTINCT :SELECT DISTINCT用于从指定的列中检索不同的值。 输出 :执行以上命令时,结果集将仅包含column_name列中的唯一值。
- SUM: SUM is a function will provides the total value of a column which is numeric.
SELECT SUM(column_name)
FROM table_name;
Output: Execution of this command will result in the total of all the row that are part of the column column_name.
SUM :SUM是一个函数,它将提供数字列的总值。 输出 :执行此命令将导致属于列column_name的所有行的总数。
