-- select

The `select' clause introduces every query.  It has the following form:

    select {field or expression} [{field or expression}, ...]
    from {record type} [{record type}, ...] /

Note that a `from' clause is also required for a valid query.

The slash character ("/") must end every query.  If you don't enter a
slash at the end of your query, SQL doesn't know you are finished.

Suppose there were a record type named "emp" in the data base.  You
could select all the fields in this record with the following query:

                  select * from emp /

To see a list of the valid record types, type `records' (a preceding 
`help' is not required).

To list all the fields for a given record, type `fields <record.name>'.
