WHILE UPDATING THE DATABASE TABLES?

Answer Posted / sudhakar1207

INSERT IS USE TO INSERT THE RECORDS INTO A DB TABLE.
UPDATE IS USED TO CHANGE DATA OF THE EXISTING RECORDS IN THE DB TABLE.
MODIFY IS ALSO USED TO CHANGE DATA.

UPDATE ONLY CHANGE THE EXISTING RECORD. IF THE RECORD DOES NOT EXIST IT WILL GIVE A SHORT DUMP.
MODIFY CHANGE THE DATA IF THE RECORD EXISTS, OTHERWISE IT WILL INSERT NEW RECORD.
