618 Manipulating Data Besides retrieving a single record or tuple, the Select command can retrieve multiple tuples, such as a list of all employees who work in a certain department. The Project command retrieves the entire column or attribute from a database table. This can be useful when you just want to view certain information, such as the names of employees along with the department where they work, as shown in Figure 1-8. The Project command acts like a filter, hiding data that you don’t want to see and displaying only data that you do want to see. Combining the Select and Project commands can find just the names and e-mail addresses of all employees who work in a certain department.

Manipulating Data 619 The Join command combines separate tables together to create a virtual table that can show new information. For example, a Join command might combine a table of products, and a table of customers with a table of sales people can show which sales person is best at selling certain products and which products are most popular with customers, as shown in Figure 1-9. The Select, Project, and Join commands are generic terms. Every database uses its own terms for performing these exact same actions, so be aware of these terminology differences.
