This is the table creation syntax

(<value31>, <value32>),
(<value41>, <value42>);
Read records from a table

ORDER BY <col name>;

WHERE <condition>;
Update records

SET <col name> = <new value>
WHERE <condition>;

Update multiple columns


UPDATE <table name>

<col2 name> = <new value2>
WHERE <condition>

Update all records
