Data manipulation language (DML) statements query or manipulate data in existing schema objects. They enable you to:
- Retrieve data from one or more tables or views (SELECT); fetches can be scrollable (see "Scrollable Cursors")
- Add new rows of data into a table or view (INSERT)
- Change column values in existing rows of a table or view (UPDATE)
- Update or insert rows conditionally into a table or view (MERGE)
- Remove rows from tables or views (DELETE)
- See the execution plan for a SQL statement (EXPLAIN PLAN)
- Lock a table or view, temporarily limiting other users' access (LOCK TABLE)
DML statements are the most frequently used SQL statements. Some examples of DML statements are:
SELECT last_name, manager_id, commission_pct + salary FROM employees;
INSERT INTO employees VALUES (1234, 'DAVIS', 'SALESMAN', 7698, '14-FEB-1988', 1600, 500, 30);
DELETE FROM employees WHERE last_name IN ('WARD','JONES');
