SQL

MySQL fully supports ANSI SQL 92, entry level. A SQL reference for MySQL is thus largely a general SQL reference. Nevertheless, MySQL contains some proprietary enhancements that can help you at the mysql command line. This section thus provides a reference for the SQL query language as it is supported in MySQL. SQL is a kind of controlled English language consisting of verb phrases. Each of these verb phrases begins with an SQL command followed by other SQL keywords, literals, identifiers, or punctuation.
