        SELECT <which columns do you want to return>
                colA, colB, colC
                *
           FROM <table or view that holds the data>
           WHERE <filter to restrict the rows returned>
           ORDER BY <column to sort by>
           
       the Database server processes a query in a set of steps (see page 143 of textbook)
       these steps are also the steps I use to write the query
