MySQL SELECT Examples

The SELECT statement allows you to read data from one or more tables. The output of a this statement is called results or a result set.

Read data from one table

//read data from table named users
SELECT * FROM users
SELECT id, username, email FROM users

Read data from multiple tables without join

SELECT * FROM users, accounts
SELECT users.id, users.username, accounts.country, accounts.phone FROM users, accounts

If table users doesn’t have any data, no result is returned from table accounts as well. So the results is empty.

SELECT based on value of another SELECT

SELECT id, username FROM users
WHERE fullname IN (SELECT fullname
FROM accounts
WHERE country= ‘USA’);
