Executing SQL Queries

Executing SQL queries involves a systematic process that allows you to interact with a relational database. SQL, or Structured Query Language, is the standard language used for managing and manipulating data within a database management system (DBMS) ².

When you execute an SQL query, it is important to understand the order of operations. The execution does not occur in the order the commands are written. For instance, the FROM and JOIN clauses are processed before the SELECT clause. This means that the database first identifies the data sources and joins them before selecting the specific columns to return ³.

SQL commands can be categorized into different types, such as Data Query Language (DQL) for querying data, and Data Definition Language (DDL) for defining database structures ²⁵. Understanding these categories and the execution order is crucial for writing effective SQL queries.
