Query for creating table:

mysql> CREATE TABLE MyTable (
    ->              Empid int(10),
    ->              Empname varchar(60)
    ->              Salary int(90)
    ->            );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.13 sec)

Query for inserting data in table:

The Query insert into adds the records or rows value to the table 'MyTable'.

mysql>   insert into MyTable values(01,'Girish','20000');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.02 sec)
mysql>     insert into MyTable values(02,'A','21000');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql>     insert into MyTable values(03,'C','22000');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql>     insert into MyTable values(04,'V','23000');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql>     insert into MyTable values(05,'B','24000');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql>     insert into MyTable values(06,'E','25000');

mysql>     insert into MyTable values(07,'Q','26000');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql>     insert into MyTable values(08,'W','27000');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql>     insert into MyTable values(09,'AS','28000');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)`

Query to view data inserted in table:

mysql> select * from mytable;
+-------+---------+--------+
| Empid | Empname | Salary |
+-------+---------+--------+
| 1     | Girish  | 20000  |
| 2     | A       | 21000  |
| 3     | C       | 22000  |
| 4     | V       | 23000  |
| 5     | B       | 24000  |
| 6     | E       | 25000  |
| 7     | Q       | 26000  |
| 8     | W       | 27000  |
| 9     | AS      | 28000  |
+-------+---------+--------+
9 rows in set (0.01 sec)

Query for using where clause:

The Query return only those records from 'mytable' that are specified in Where Clause. In this example the table returns records whose salary is 2000.

mysql> select empname from mytable where salary=20000;

+---------+
