Sample Solution:
-- This SQL query retrieves the value in the 'play_date' column and aliases it as "Beginning Date" from the 'match_mast' table.
SELECT play_date "Beginning Date"
-- The SELECT statement extracts the 'play_date' column and renames it as "Beginning Date" in the result set.
FROM match_mast
-- 'match_mast' is the name of the table being queried.
WHERE match_no=1;
-- The WHERE clause filters rows where the 'match_no' column has the value 1.
Sample Output:
Beginning Date ---------------- 2016-06-11 (1 row)
Code Explanation:
The said query in SQL that selects the play_date column from the match_mast table where the match_no column is equal to 1. It also renames the play_date column as Beginning Date in the output.
The result of the query will be a single row with the value of the play_date column for the row where match_no is equal to 1.
