Retrieving Multiple Columns

Inspecting the Table

Let's delve deeper into the country database. This database contains a single table, also named country. We'll take a closer look at the data within this table.

This table contains 15 rows, representing 15 unique records for various countries.

Now, let's discuss the columns. The table includes 7 columns: id, name, continent, region, SurfaceArea, capital, and population.

  1. id - the unique identifier for each record;

  2. name - the name of the country;

  3. continent - the continent where the country is located;

  4. region - the specific region within the continent;

  5. SurfaceArea - the total land area of the country;

  6. capital - the capital city of the country;

  7. population - the number of people living in the country.

The Syntax for Selecting Multiple Columns

To retrieve multiple columns, use the SELECT statement. After SELECT, list the column names you want to retrieve, separated by commas.

The syntax looks like this:
