SQL commands (or statements) are generally grouped into two categories:
Data Manipulation Commands, which are used to obtain, add, remove and/or modify database information. More specifically, this refers to the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE commands.
Data Definition Commands, which are used to create or remove database objects. More specifically, this refers to the CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, DROP INDEX and DROP TABLE type commands.
In the syntax, command names and keywords appear in bold and are passed "as is." Other elements appear in italics and are detailed separately in the "Syntax rules" theme.
