Basic SQL queries: SELECT, FROM, WHERE and other operators
I recently dipped my toe into the world of SQL for the first time and got my head around the basic operators and statements. Here’s a summary of how to construct basic queries.

Those who are particularly fond of buzzwords might even call the result machine learning, although I wouldn’t myself.
