<h2>Database</h2>
<p>It is defined as a collection of interrelated data stored together to serve multiple applications.</p>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h2>MySQL Elements</h2>
<p>MySQL has certain elements that play an important role in querying a database.</p>
<h3>Literals</h3>
<p>Literals refer to a fixed data value</p>
<pre class="language-sql"><code>17 #It is a numeric literal
"Harry" #It is a text literal
12.5 #It is a real literal</code></pre>
<h3>Data Types</h3>
<p>Data types are means to identify the type of data.</p>
<pre class="language-sql"><code>#Numeric

INT -- Integer data type
TINYINT
SMALLINT
MEDIUMINT
BIGINT

FLOAT(M,D) -- Floating point data type
DOUBLE(M,D) -- Double data type also stores decimal values
DECIMAL(M,D) -- Decimal data type</code></pre>
<pre class="language-sql"><code>#Data and Time 

DATE -- Date data type (YYYY-MM-DD)
DATETIME -- It's a date and time combination (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS)
TIME -- It stores time (HH:MM:SS)</code></pre>
<pre class="language-sql"><code>#String/Text 

CHAR(M) -- Character data type
VARCHAR(M) -- Variable character data type
BLOB or TEXT</code></pre>
<h3>NULL Values</h3>
<p>If a column has no value, then it is said to be NULL</p>
<h3>Comments</h3>
<p>A comment is a text that is not executed.</p>
<pre class="language-sql"><code>/* This is a multi-line
comment in MySQL */

# It is a single-line commend

-- It is also a single-line comment</code></pre>
<h2>MySQL Simple Calculations</h2>
<p>You can perform simple calculations in MySQL, just by using the Select command, there's no need to select any particular database to perform these commands.</p>
