There are 4 SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML) commands that are supported by "mysql". They are listed below with short descriptions:
* "INSERT INTO tableName ..." - Inserts new data rows into the specified table.
* "DELETE FROM tableName ..." - Deletes existing data rows from the specified table.
* "UPDATE tableName SET ..." - Updates existing data rows in the specified table.
* "SELECT expressionList FROM ..." - Selects rows from tables and returns rows of values resulted from the specified expression list.
Here is a tutorial exercise of how to use DML commands to insert and select data rows:
>cd mysqlbin
>mysql -u root test
mysql> CREATE TABLE links (id INTEGER, name VARCHAR(80));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> INSERT INTO links VALUES (1, 'www.withoutbook.com');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.02 sec)
mysql> SELECT * FROM links;
