The table games shows the year and the city hosting the Olympic Games.
| yr | city |
|---|---|
| 2000 | Sydney |
| 2004 | Athens |
| 2008 | Beijing |
| 2012 | London |
schema:scott
DROP TABLE games
CREATE TABLE games(
yr INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
city VARCHAR(20));
INSERT INTO games VALUES (2000,'Sydney');
INSERT INTO games VALUES (2004,'Athens');
INSERT INTO games VALUES (2008,'Beijing');
INSERT INTO games VALUES (2012,'London');
The SELECT statement returns results from a table. The DELETE statement can be used to remove rows from a table. In this example we remove the 2000 games from the table:
DELETE FROM scott.games WHERE yr=2000;
SELECT * FROM scott.games;
DELETE FROM games WHERE yr=2000;
SELECT * FROM games;
