Unlike other computer languages, SQL is made up of a small number of language elements that let you interact efficiently with a database. Some of the more frequently used elements include these SQL commands:
Command |
Description |
|---|---|
SELECT |
Use to retrieve (query) information in a database. |
INSERT |
Use to add records to a database. |
UPDATE |
Use to update information in a database. |
DELETE |
Use to delete information in a database. |
In Part II of this book, you will be introduced to the syntax of these commands when you use them to build a ColdFusion application that interacts with a database. For additional information about SQL, consult any SQL primer.
