Here's a more detailed explanation of the common keywords in SQL and
Python:
**1. AND:**
- SQL: Used to combine multiple conditions in a WHERE clause to form a compound
condition.
- Python: Used as a logical operator to combine two conditions, both of which must
be True for the overall expression to be True.
**2. AS:**
- SQL: Used to create an alias for a table or column in the query's result set,
making it easier to reference in the output.
- Python: Used to create an alias for a variable or module, allowing you to refer
to it by a different name.
**3. FROM:**
- SQL: Used to specify the table or tables from which data will be retrieved in the
SELECT statement.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python. However, the `from` keyword is used in import
statements to import modules.
**4. IN:**
- SQL: Used in the WHERE clause to check if a value exists in a specified list or
subquery.
- Python: Used as a membership operator to check if a value is present in a
sequence (e.g., list, tuple, string).
**5. NOT:**
- SQL: Used in combination with other operators to negate a condition in the WHERE
clause.
- Python: Used as a logical operator to negate the truth value of an expression.
**6. OR:**
- SQL: Used in the WHERE clause to combine multiple conditions, and if any of the
conditions are true, the overall condition is true.
- Python: Used as a logical operator to combine two conditions, and if either of
the conditions is True, the overall expression is True.
**7. SELECT:**
- SQL: Used to retrieve data from one or more tables or views in a database.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**8. WHERE:**
- SQL: Used to filter rows in a SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT INTO statement
based on a specified condition.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**9. ORDER BY:**
- SQL: Used to sort the result set of a SELECT statement based on specified columns
or expressions.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**10. GROUP BY:**
- SQL: Used to group rows with identical values in specific columns and apply
aggregate functions on the groups.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**11. JOIN:**
- SQL: Used to combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column
between them.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**12. UPDATE:**
- SQL: Used to modify existing records in a database table.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**13. DELETE:**
- SQL: Used to remove one or more records from a database table.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**14. INSERT:**
- SQL: Used to add new records to a database table.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**15. CREATE:**
- SQL: Used to create a new database, table, view, or other database objects.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**16. DROP:**
- SQL: Used to delete a database, table, view, or other database objects.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**17. SET:**
- SQL: Used to assign values to variables or configuration settings.
- Python: Not a keyword in Python.
**18. IF:**
- SQL: Used in conjunction with ELSE and sometimes with BEGIN and END to control
the flow of statements within a SQL batch or procedure.
- Python: Used for conditional branching, where certain code blocks are executed
based on the truth value of a condition.
**19. ELSE:**
- SQL: Used in conjunction with IF to specify an alternative set of statements to
be executed when the IF condition is false.
- Python: Used with IF to specify an alternative set of statements to be executed
when the IF condition is false.
**20. ELIF (Python only):**
- Python: Short for "else if," used as an alternative to ELSE IF to specify an
additional condition to be checked if the preceding IF condition is false.
Please note that some keywords may have different meanings and uses in different
contexts, so it's important to understand how they function within the specific
language you are working with.
