Overview</A ></H1 ><P > The process of retrieving or the command to retrieve data from a database is called a <I CLASS="FIRSTTERM" >query</I >.

(The method of retrieval depends on the client application. For example, the <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >psql</SPAN > program will display an ASCII-art table on the screen, while client libraries will offer functions to extract individual values from the query result.) The select list specification <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >*</TT > means all columns that the table expression happens to provide. A select list can also select a subset of the available columns or make calculations using the columns. For example, if <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >table1</TT > has columns named <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >a</TT >, <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >b</TT >, and <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >c</TT > (and perhaps others) you can make the following query: </P><PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" >SELECT a, b + c FROM table1;</PRE ><P> (assuming that <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >b</TT > and <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >c</TT > are of a numerical data type). See <A HREF="queries-select-lists.html" >Section 7.3</A > for more details. </P ><P > <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >FROM table1</TT > is a simple kind of table expression: it reads just one table. In general, table expressions can be complex constructs of base tables, joins, and subqueries. But you can also omit the table expression entirely and use the <TT CLASS="COMMAND" >SELECT</TT > command as a calculator: </P><PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" >SELECT 3 * 4;</PRE ><P> This is more useful if the expressions in the select list return varying results. For example, you could call a function this way: </P><PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING" >SELECT random();</PRE ><P> </P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="queries.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="queries-table-expressions.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >Queries</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="queries.html" ACCESSKEY="U" >Up</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >Table Expressions</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
