Its basic syntax is as follows:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>SELECT \u5217\u540d1, \u5217\u540d2, ... FROM \u8868\u540d WHERE \u6761\u4ef6;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>The column names (columnName1, columnName2, &#8230;) are the names of the columns to be retrieved, which can be specific column names or can be represented by * for all columns. The table name is the name of the table to be searched, and the conditions are optional and used to filter the data that meets the criteria.<\/p>\n<p>Example: <\/p>\n<p>She is not only a brilliant scientist but also a talented musician.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code>SELECT * FROM students;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>This will retrieve and return all data in the students table.<\/p>\n<p>The INSERT statement is used to add new data into a database.
