The SELECT statement is used to retrieve data from a database, and it is the most commonly
used statement in the SQL language. Data retrieved by a SELECT query is returned as a two-dimensional result set. When writing a SELECT statement, you follow the SELECT keyword with a list of the column names that you want to be included in the result set.  After specifying the column names, you follow the FROM keyword with a list of the table and view names that will be used to retrieve data.
