-## ๐ Using Conditions
+## ๐ Selecting Data
Welcome to the **Selecting Data** module! This foundational learning path is designed to help you master the basics of querying data, particularly focusing on how to retrieve specific information from databases effectively.
-### ๐ Using Coditions
+### ๐ Using Conditions with the WHERE Clause
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to interpret and use rows in a database table. Tables are essential to storing structured data, and each **row** in a table represents a unique **item or record**.
-> The first step in filtering is selecting the Items
-> We use WHERE keyword to filter the data., we also apply the condition over there.
-> We filter the table items we slect to get only items that satisy certain conditions.
-> The condition we want our items to fulfil comes after the where keyword
+> The first step in filtering is selecting the items.
+> We use **WHERE** keyword to filter the data by applying conditions.
+> We filter the table items, we select to get only items that satisfy certain conditions.
+> The condition we want our items to fulfill comes after the where keyword

-We can also use `=` with numeric properties, like selecting only students that have the year value `1`.
