To sort in reverse alphabetical order add the word DESC descending at the end of the query. What would this query report SELECT Major FROM Student It would return one line for each student and each line would contain a major field of study. If 300 students major in computer science there will be 300 lines containing the words Computer Science . Such a report is probably not what one had in mind. Probably one is interested in a list of the different major fields of study of the students. One can get such a report by adding the word DISTINCT to the SELECT query SELECT DISTINCT Major FROM Student What if the information in which one is interested is spread among several tables Such a query requires a JOIN of the tables. There is more than one way to specify a JOIN and there are different types of JOINs for different situations. Suppose one is interested in a list of student names and the names of the Resident Advisors in their dormitories. Here is one way to JOIN the Student and Dorm tables to combine the information SELECT Sname RA FROM Student Dorm WHERE Conceptually a JOIN works by concatenating .
