Select Data from Tables in SQL | Structured Query Language

To select data from a table in a database, you can use the SQL (Structured Query Language) SELECT statement. Here is the basic syntax:

```
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name;
```

- `column1, column2, ...` are the names of the columns you want to retrieve data from.
- `table_name` is the name of the table you want to retrieve data from.

For example, if you have a table named "employees" with columns "id", "name", "age", and "salary", you can retrieve all the data from the table using the following SQL statement:

```
SELECT *
FROM employees;
```

The `*` is a wildcard that selects all the columns in the table. You can also select specific columns by listing them after the SELECT keyword:

```
SELECT name, age, salary
FROM employees;
```

This will retrieve only the "name", "age", and "salary" columns from the "employees" table.
