The `SELECT' statement is used to pull information from a table. The
general form of the statement is:
SELECT what_to_select
FROM which_table
WHERE conditions_to_satisfy;
`what_to_select' indicates what you want to see. This can be a list of
columns, or `*' to indicate "all columns." `which_table' indicates the
table from which you want to retrieve data. The `WHERE' clause is
optional. If it's present, `conditions_to_satisfy' specifies
conditions that rows must satisfy to qualify for retrieval.
