MySQL offers a rich set of functions and operations to manage and manipulate data
within your relational database. These functions fall into various categories depending
on the type of data they handle or the operation they perform. Here's a breakdown of
● String Functions: Work with text data. Examples include CONCAT() for joining
strings, SUBSTRING() for extracting parts of a string, and functions for changing
● Date and Time Functions: Handle date and time data. Examples include
CURDATE() for getting the current date, ADDDATE() to add an interval to a date,
● Comparison Operators: Compare values. These include =, >, <, >=, and <= for
● Logical Operators: Combine conditions. These include AND, OR, and NOT to build
the number of rows, SUM() to add values in a column, and AVG() to calculate the
average.
Other Functions:
● There are many other specialized functions for data conversion (CAST()), user
Operations:
● Data Retrieval: The SELECT statement is fundamental for fetching data from
● Data Insertion: The INSERT statement adds new rows of data to a table.
● Data Filtering: The WHERE clause is used within SELECT, UPDATE, and DELETE
This is just a glimpse into the vast functionality of MySQL. By effectively using functions
and operations, you can manage your database efficiently, perform complex data
command used to retrieve, insert, update, or delete data from one or more database
tables. Queries are written in a database query language such as SQL (Structured Query
Language) for relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, etc.
To sort and filter data using a query, you can use the SELECT statement along with the
You can sort data in ascending or descending order based on one or more
Syntax:
FROM table_name
Example:
sql
Filtering Data:
You can filter data based on specified conditions using the WHERE clause.
Syntax:
sql
Copy code
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;
Example:

Copy code
You can combine sorting and filtering in the same query to retrieve sorted
Syntax:
sql
Copy code
FROM table_name
WHERE condition

last name
column names, table names, and filtering conditions specific to your database
By using these techniques, you can effectively sort and filter data to retrieve
