List of Expressions
Each category of
SQL expression includes many individual expressions. The following table lists all the
SQL expressions (and some operators) in alphabetical order. The columns in this table have the following meanings:
- Name gives the name of each expression.
- Description gives a short description of each expression.
- Syntax lists the page that shows the syntax of the expression.
- Usage shows the page that describes the usage of the expression.
Each expression listed in the following table is supported on all database servers unless otherwise noted. When an expression is not supported on all database servers, the Name column notes in parentheses the database server or servers that do support the expression.
