• "INSERT INTO tableName ..." - Inserts new data rows into the specified table.
• "DELETE FROM tableName ..." - Deletes existing data rows from the specified table.
• "UPDATE tableName SET ..." - Updates existing data rows in the specified table.
• "SELECT expressionList FROM ..." - Selects rows from tables and returns rows of values resulted from the specified expression list.
