SELECT
Valid in: SQL
The SELECT (interactive) statement returns values from tables or views.
Notes:
• SELECT queries that access both Vector and standard Ingres tables cannot execute.
• Similarly, INSERT...SELECT and CREATE AS SELECT do not work if the SELECT statement references both Vector and Ingres tables.
This statement has the following format:
[WITH common_table_expression]
SELECT [FIRST rowCount] [ALL | DISTINCT] * | expression [AS result_column]
{, expression [[AS] result_column]}
[FROM from_source {, from_source}
[WHERE search_condition] WHERE (clause)
[GROUP BY [ALL | DISTINCT] grouping element {, grouping element}]
[HAVING search_condition] HAVING (clause)
{UNION [ALL] | INTERSECT | EXCEPT
(select)}
[ORDER BY ordering-expression [ASC | DESC]
{, ordering-expression [ASC | DESC]}
[NULLS {FIRST | LAST}]];
[WITH options]
