Transact SQL

Also

This SQL is used to execute queries on databases. 

Join Type Description Syntax
Inner Join Joins the columns of one table to the columns of another table only for rows that meet the specified condition Select [Colums] from [Table1] INNER JOIN [Table2] 
ON [Join Condition]
Left Outer Join Includes all rows from the left table and joins table2 column where the condition is meet, or returns NULLS in place of the unmatched column if the condiditon isn't met Select [Colums] from [Table1] LEFT OUTER JOIN [Table2] 
ON [Join Condition]
The 'outer' key word can be ommited 
Right Outer Join All the rows from the right hand table are included, with nulls if the condition isn't meet Select [Colums] from [Table1] RIGHT OUTER JOIN [Table2] 
ON [Join Condition]
The 'outer' key word can be ommited 
Full Outer Join Every Rows from both tables will have a corresponding row in the results.  Where the condition is not met, the unmatched rows will be NULL Select [Colums] from [Table1] RIGHT OUTER JOIN [Table2] 
ON [Join Condition]
The 'outer' key word can be ommited 
Cross Join Every row of the left table will be combined with every row of the right table. No join condition is required however the results can be filtered using the select's where clause to reduce the  row count. Select [Colums] from [Table1] CROSS JOIN [Table2] 
-or-
Select [Columns] From Table1,Table2 

INSERT statements are used to add rows to a table. Identity fields in the inserted record and NOT returned (which is just stupid as all hell) but can be retrieved by using SELECT @@IDENTITY; or SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() in 2005. Watch out for automatic triggers as they may cause the wrong identity to be returned. See Inserting records in ASP with ADO
 

DELETE is used to remove rows from a table

DELETE FROM table WHERE deletefilter
 

The UPDATE statement is used to change rows already entered into a table

UPDATE table SET column = expression,column = expression WHERE updatefilter

The update filter can specifiy a single row (e.g where id=10034) or multiple rows (e.g. where id > 10000) to be updated

Search Condition (T-SQL)

Is a combination of one or more predicates using the logical operators AND, OR, and NOT.

Syntax

<search_condition> ::=
    {    [ NOT ] <predicate> | ( <search_condition> ) }
        [ {AND | OR} [NOT] {<predicate> | ( <search_condition> ) } ]
    }    [,...n]

<predicate> ::=
    
{    
        expression { = | <> | != | > | >= | !> | < | <= | !< } expression
        | string_expression [NOT] LIKE string_expression
            [ESCAPE 'escape_character']
        | expression [NOT] BETWEEN expression AND expression
        | expression IS [NOT] NULL
        | CONTAINS
            (    {column | * }, '<contains_search_condition>' )
        | FREETEXT ( {column | * }, 'freetext_string' )
        | expression [NOT] IN (subquery | expression [,...n])
        | expression { = | <> | != | > | >= | !> | < | <= | !< }
            {ALL | SOME | ANY} (subquery)
        | EXISTS (subquery)
    
}

Arguments
<search_condition>
Specifies the conditions for the rows returned in the result set for a SELECT statement, query expression, or subquery. For an UPDATE statement, specifies the rows to be updated. For a DELETE statement, specifies the rows to be deleted. There is no limit to the number of predicates that can be included in a Transact-SQL statement search condition.
NOT
Negates the Boolean expression specified by the predicate. For more information, see NOT.
AND
Combines two conditions and evaluates to TRUE when both of the conditions are TRUE. For more information, see AND.
OR
Combines two conditions and evaluates to TRUE when either condition is TRUE. For more information, see OR.
<predicate>
Is an expression that returns TRUE, FALSE, or UNKNOWN.
expression
Is a column name, a constant, a function, a variable, a scalar subquery, or any combination of column names, constants, and functions connected by an operator(s) or a subquery. The expression can also contain the CASE function.
=
Is the operator used to test the equality between two expressions.
<>
Is the operator used to test the condition of two expressions not being equal to each other.
!=
Is the operator used to test the condition of two expressions not being equal to each other.
>
Is the operator used to test the condition of one expression being greater than the other.
>=
Is the operator used to test the condition of one expression being greater than or equal to the other expression.
!>
Is the operator used to test the condition of one expression not being greater than the other expression.
<
Is the operator used to test the condition of one expression being less than the other.
<=
Is the operator used to test the condition of one expression being less than or equal to the other expression.
!<
Is the operator used to test the condition of one expression not being less than the other expression.
string_expression
Is a string of characters and wildcard characters.
[NOT] LIKE
Indicates that the subsequent character string is to be used with pattern matching. For more information, see LIKE.
ESCAPE 'escape_character'
Allows a wildcard character to be searched for in a character string instead of functioning as a wildcard. escape_character is the character that is placed in front of the wildcard character to denote this special use.
[NOT] BETWEEN
Specifies an inclusive range of values. Use AND to separate the beginning and ending values. For more information, see BETWEEN.
IS [NOT] NULL
Specifies a search for null values, or for values that are not null, depending on the keywords used. An expression with a bitwise or arithmetic operator evaluates to NULL if any of the operands is NULL.
CONTAINS
Searches columns containing character-based data for precise or “fuzzy” (less precise) matches to single words and phrases, the proximity of words within a certain distance of one another, and weighted matches. Can only be used with SELECT statements. For more information, see CONTAINS.
FREETEXT
Provides a simple form of natural language query by searching columns containing character-based data for values that match the meaning rather than the exact words in the predicate. Can only be used with SELECT statements. For more information, see FREETEXT.
[NOT] IN
Specifies the search for an expression, based on the expression's inclusion in or exclusion from a list. The search expression can be a constant or a column name, and the list can be a set of constants or, more commonly, a subquery. Enclose the list of values in parentheses. For more information, see IN.
subquery
Can be considered a restricted SELECT statement and is similar to <query_expresssion> in the SELECT statement. The ORDER BY clause, the COMPUTE clause, and the INTO keyword are not allowed. For more information see SELECT.
ALL
Used with a comparison operator and a subquery. Returns TRUE for <predicate> if all values retrieved for the subquery satisfy the comparison operation, or FALSE if not all values satisfy the comparison or if the subquery returns no rows to the outer statement. For more information, see ALL.
{SOME | ANY}
Used with a comparison operator and a subquery. Returns TRUE for <predicate> if any value retrieved for the subquery satisfies the comparison operation, or FALSE if no values in the subquery satisfy the comparison or if the subquery returns no rows to the outer statement. Otherwise, the expression is unknown. For more information, see SOME | ANY.
EXISTS
Used with a subquery to test for the existence of rows returned by the subquery. For more information, see EXISTS.
Remarks

The order of precedence for the logical operators is NOT (highest), followed by AND, followed by OR. The order of evaluation at the same precedence level is from left to right. Parentheses can be used to override this order in a search condition. For information about how the logical operators operate on truth values, see AND, OR, and NOT.

Examples
A. Use WHERE with LIKE and ESCAPE syntax

This example assumes a description column exists in finances table. To search for the rows in which the description column contains the exact characters g_, use the ESCAPE option because _ is a wildcard character. Without specifying the ESCAPE option, the query would search for any description values containing the letter g followed by any single character other than the _ character.

SELECT *

FROM finances

WHERE description LIKE 'gs_' ESCAPE 'S'

GO

  

B. Use WHERE and LIKE syntax with Unicode data

This example uses the WHERE clause to retrieve the contact name, telephone, and fax numbers for any companies containing the string snabbköp at the end of the company name.

USE Northwind

SELECT CompanyName, ContactName, Phone, Fax

FROM Customers

WHERE CompanyName LIKE N'%snabbköp'

ORDER BY CompanyName ASC, ContactName ASC
