📜 Learning SQL: Queries

 What is a Query? A query is really a question or request for data . Remember that a database stores information in tables, consisting of rows and columns of information. The database fields are the columns. They tell the database what to store, such as an album title. The rows make up the data. Here is some sample data to work with. SELECT * FROM USERS This statement above means SELECT everything FROM USERS (table in the database) In SQL, we actually have keywords that match our statement. We will say SELECT , (go get from the database), FROM (which table are you looking at?), and WHERE (what criteria?).   To get all the data, use the **asterisk (*)** in the code. The asterisk indicates a wildcard, --meaning we want everything--. This is the equivalent of asking the librarian for all the books in the library.

I eventually decided on becoming an electrical engineer and attended the university of Trinidad and Tobago but soon after decided that I wanted to immigrate to Canada. Then I attend a special international school that would allow me to apply to universities in Canada. I began my journey in engineering at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario. This was my first time being really on my own and be too honest, I struggled with making friends, with classes, with being  visible minority (something I never had to deal with or think about prior to moving). After that first year I moved to Ajax Ontario and I changed my area of study to Robotics and automation. This program was more hands on, and I found it suited my learning style better. The next 3 years blow by in a flash and I started working in the field. My first job out of school was as
