Writing your first SQL statement

Lets enter the world of SQL server and write your first SQL select statement. To begin, you must understand the SQL syntax. We will start with the SELECT and what it means. With SELECT you are telling SQL server the fields or results you wish to see returned

Then we move to the FROM portion of the statement. The FROM portion is telling SQL server which table the data resides or is housed.

SELECT {Field1}, {Field2}, etc
FROM {Your Table}

Voila!!!!, you have just created your first SQL Select Statement
