How do you select all columns of all rows from a table?

You select all columns of all rows from a table with the select * from table_name sql statement. Be careful, this can potentially be a very expensive, poor performance, network intensive type of operation - it is better to select only the columns and rows needed.


What does primary key mean in database form?

In a Database, more specifically a relational model, columns of one table that relate to columns of another table are called "key columns". There are two types of "key" columns. Foreign key and Primary Key. The Primary key of a table is usually a column within a table that contains unique data which cannot be duplicated. Think of it as a "unique identifier" column. You can actually create an array of key columns in a table to represent a unique series of values as well. (so PKey 1,2,3 are unique and no group of PKey's 1,2,3 will be the same, even though sometimes any one of those columns may contain a single value that has been duplicated, the consolidated value of all 3 will never be replicated). The Primary key of table A is linked to the Primary key of Table B for instance. Table B's Primary Key in this relationship is then called a "Foreign Key", meaning "The Primary Key of the OTHER table". That's a pretty basic understanding of how they work. There is a little bit more involved but this is the gist of it.


What does each column in a database represent?

Each column in a database table represents an attribute reg. the data that is held in that table. For ex: Table Employee can contain employee number, name, age, date of joining etc. Each of these items would be stored as individual columns in the Employee table.
