To insert above records, we use the following commands:


                 INSERT INTO Student VALUES (10001, 'Amit', 'Sharma', 450);
                 INSERT INTO Student VALUES (10002, 'Divya', 'Kaushik', 450);

                 INSERT INTO Student VALUES (10003, 'Aadarsh', 'Kumar', 450);

            RETRIEVING RECORDS FROM TABLE

            The SELECT command retrieves zero or more rows from a table. It helps us to join information from
            different tables and filter specific information as per the required criteria. The SELECT command is the
            most useful DML command. The ‘SELECT’ statement has many optional clauses which are as follows:

                WHERE specifies the criteria according to which rows are retrieved.

                ORDER BY specifies an order (Ascending or Descending) to return the rows.
            The syntax to execute the SELECT queries:

                 SELECT * FROM table_name;

            To display all the data in the table:
                 SELECT * FROM Student;

            The preceding command will display the following output:

                                   +-----------+-----------+----------+-------+
                                   | StudentID | FirstName | LastName | Marks |
                                   +-----------+-----------+----------+-------+
                                   |     10001 | Amit      | Sharma   |   450 |
                                   |     10002 | Divya     | Kaushik  |   450 |
                                   |     10003 | Aadarsh   | Kumar    |   450 |
                                   +-----------+-----------+----------+-------+

            To get details of the list of students whose LASTNAME is Kumar:

                 SELECT * FROM Student WHERE LastName = "Kumar";

            The preceding command will display the following output:
                                   +-----------+-----------+----------+-------+
                                   | StudentID | FirstName | LastName | Marks |
                                   +-----------+-----------+----------+-------+
                                   |     10003 | Aadarsh   | Kumar    |   450 |
                                   +-----------+-----------+----------+-------+
            To get details of the list of students in ascending order of FirstName:

                 SELECT * FROM Student ORDER BY FirstName ASC;

            The preceding command will display the following output:
                                   +-----------+-----------+----------+-------+
                                   | StudentID | FirstName | LastName | Marks |
                                   +-----------+-----------+----------+-------+
                                   |     10003 | Aadarsh   | Kumar    |   450 |
                                   |     10002 | Divya     | Kaushik  |   450 |
                                   |     10001 | Amit      | Sharma   |   450 |
                                   +-----------+-----------+----------+-------+
