What Are CRUD Operations?
The idea of CRUD is strongly connected with databases. That’s why it’s no surprise that CRUD operations correspond almost one-to-one with SQL commands:
When you create data, you’re using the INSERT
command to add new records to a table. After creation, you may read data using SELECT
. With a SELECT
query, you’re asking the database to retrieve the specific pieces of information you need, whether it’s a single value, a set of records, or complex relationships between data points.
The update operation corresponds to the UPDATE
command in SQL, which allows you to modify data. It lets you edit or change an existing item.
Lastly, the delete operation relates to the DELETE
command. This is the digital equivalent of shredding a confidential document.
