PostgreSQL - 语法

---

---

本章提供 PostgreSQL SQL 命令列表，以及每个命令的精确语法规则。这套命令来自 psql 命令行工具。现在你已经安装了 Postgres，打开 psql 如下：

程序文件 → PostgreSQL 9.2 → SQL Shell(psql)。

使用 psql，你可以使用 \help 命令生成完整的命令列表。对于特定命令的语法，请使用以下命令：

 postgres-# \help <command_name>

SQL 语句

SQL 语句由标记组成，每个标记可以表示关键字、标识符、带引号的标识符、常量或特殊字符符号。下表使用简单的 SELECT 语句来说明一个基本但完整的 SQL 语句及其组成部分。
