Command Purpose & Example
REATE TABLE Student (RollNo INT PRIMARY KEY, Name

VARCHAR(50), Class CHAR(3));
INSERT INTO Used to add new rows/records to a table.
ALTER Used to modify the structure of an existing table.
INSERT INTO Student (RollNo, Name, Class) VALUES (1, 'Alia',
'XIIA');
dd a column:ALTER TABLE Student ADD COLUMN City

SELECT sed to retrieve data from a table. This is the most frequently used
U
command and involves numerous clauses:
odify a column's data type:ALTER TABLE Student MODIFY
M
COLUMN Name VARCHAR(100);
Retrieve all data:SELECT * FROM Student;
Drop a column:ALTER TABLE Student DROP COLUMN City;
Retrieve specific columns:SELECT Name, Class FROMStudent;
DROP sed to delete an entire table or database. (Irreversible:

columns are equal (using the=operator in theWHEREclause).
These are critical for performing calculations and summarizing data.
