Write a query to get data of selected columns from a table

Description: Show only the name and the city of every student.

Tables: the exercises use the students (id, name, city, marks, course_id) and courses (id, course_name) tables, with the data from our MySQL INSERT chapter. The students are: Robin (Delhi, 85), Maria (Mumbai, 92), John (Pune, 78), Asha (Jaipur, 88), Vikram (Delhi, 65), Neha (Mumbai, 45).

Hint:

  • Write the column names after SELECT, separated by commas.

  • SELECT * returns all the columns.

Read MySQL SELECT.
