- Using conditions to filter results (WHERE clause).
- Sorting results with ORDER BY.
- Limiting results with LIMIT.
Advanced Query Techniques
- Using aggregate functions like COUNT(), SUM(), AVG(), MIN(), and MAX().

Methodology / Instructions (Detailed Bullet Points)

Setting up MySQL Environment
- Install MySQL server and MySQL Workbench or any preferred client.
- Connect to the MySQL server.
Creating a Database
- Use CREATE DATABASE database_name;
- Select the database with USE database_name;
Creating Tables
- Define table structure with CREATE TABLE table_name (column1 datatype, column2 datatype, ...);
- Specify primary keys using Primary Key.
Inserting Data
- Insert rows with INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, ...) VALUES (value1, value2, ...);
Querying Data
- Retrieve all data: SELECT * FROM table_name;
- Retrieve specific columns: SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name;
- Filter data: SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE condition;
- Sort data: SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY column_name ASC|DESC;
- Limit results: SELECT * FROM table_name LIMIT number;
Updating Data
- Update records: UPDATE table_name SET column1 = value1 WHERE condition;
Deleting Data
- Delete records: DELETE FROM table_name WHERE condition;
Using Joins
- Combine data from multiple tables using different types of joins.
- Syntax example: SELECT columns FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.column = table2.column;
Aggregations and Grouping
- Use aggregate functions to summarize data.
- Group data with GROUP BY and filter groups with HAVING.
Best Practices
- Use meaningful table and column names.
- Normalize databases to reduce redundancy.
- Always back up data before performing destructive operations.
