what_to_select
indicates what you want to see. This can be a list of
columns, or *
to indicate "all columns." which_table
indicates the table from which you want to retrieve data. The WHERE
clause is optional. If it's present, conditions_to_satisfy
specifies
conditions that rows must satisfy to qualify for retrieval.
