What Are the INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE Commands?

These are very useful SQL commands. You may have already heard about, for example, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE are similar types of SQL commands.

The SELECT command lets you retrieve data from a database, filter it, and perform calculations on it. INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE let you modify data in tables.

Need to add a new row to a table? Use INSERT. If you want to know more about this command, check out Andrew's great article "What Is the INSERT Statement in SQL?"

The UPDATE command helps you modify existing data in a table. You can learn more about this command in "What Is the UPDATE Statement in SQL?"

Finally, DELETE deletes data from a database.

As simple as it may seem, you need to know how to use these commands and put them into practice properly. Therefore, it is important to find the right resource and know these commands well.

In computer programming, the acronym CRUD – create, read, update, and delete – describes the four basic operations performed on data. The four SQL statements SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE let you perform these four basic operations on data in SQL databases.

These commands are used often by people working with databases for monitoring and changing database structure and content. However, they are much more common in SQL queries that are part of some applications or of larger scripts that automatically change data in databases.

Knowing INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE is essential for software engineers, database administrators, data engineers, and anyone who works on the technical side of databases. But even if you are not one of them – if you work as an analyst, for example – you still need to know the INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands. These are just the basics of working with relational databases.

What Will You Learn in This Course?

The course consists of 80 interactive exercises you can do at your own pace, from anywhere, and at any time. It is divided into four parts. Completing all of them takes you about 8 hours.

Of course, we don't recommend doing the entire course at once. Spread out the learning over time and plan it well. You can find some valuable tips on learning more effectively in these articles: "How to Learn SQL Faster," and "How to Keep Focused While Learning SQL,".

Have I mentioned our SQL course of the month, like all online SQL courses at LearnSQL.com, is interactive? I am not talking about any unnecessary video clips, music, or other "distractions" you may find on other SQL training platforms. Our courses are interactive because you put the theory you learn into practice right away.

You learn about a particular SQL problem and get practical tasks. You write SQL queries in our online console and see how they run. If you make a mistake somewhere, you see what you need to work on immediately. You can use hints for more difficult tasks.

You only need an Internet connection and your favorite browser to study with us. We take care of the rest. It really can't be easier or better!
