Why are we going to need just a piece of the table?

- imagine a table with 2 million rows of data


- it can be helpful if you could extract only a portion of the table
that satisfies given criteria
- you should know how to use SELECT perfectly well

the INSERT statement


used to insert data into tables

INSERT INTO… VALUES…;

- functions similarly to the TRUNCATE statement

TRUNCATE vs. DELETE


TRUNCATE allows us to remove all the records contained in a table

vs.

with DELETE, you can specify precisely what you would like to be removed
