To select all records from the table Persons
where the FirstName
column starts with the letter 'a', you would use the following SQL query:
SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE FirstName LIKE 'a%';
The LIKE
operator combined with the wildcard character %
allows you to match any records where FirstName
begins with 'a'.
To select all records from the "Persons" table where the value of the column "FirstName" starts with 'a', you can use the following SQL query: SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE FirstName LIKE 'a%'; This query will retrieve all records where the "FirstName" column starts with the letter 'a'.
SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE FirstName='Peter'
In order to select a column named FirstName from a table named Persons, you should run the following MySQL query:SELECT FirstName FROM Persons
SELECT * FROM Person ORDER BY FirstName DESC
SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE LastName BETWEEN 'Hansen' AND 'Pettersen'
You can return the number of records from a table by executing a SQL query like "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table_name;". This will count the total number of records in the specified table.
Choose: Select -> Sort & Filter --> Custom Sort Choose the columns that you want to determine the sort, starting with the main column, and adding any others as appropriate.
