In a database, the SELECT statement is used to retrieve data from the database. Its basic syntax is as follows:

SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
  1. SELECT: Specify the columns or expressions to retrieve.
  2. Specify the table to retrieve data from.
  3. WHERE: optional condition used to filter search results.

SELECT first_name, last_name
FROM employees
