# Displaying the content of a TABLE

# Displaying the content of a TABLE in SQL

In this very simple example we will see how to display the content of a table. Since we are working in the notebook, we will load the sql extension in order to manipulate the database. The database mydatabase.db is a SQLite database already created before the example.

    #load the extension
    %load_ext sql
    #connect to the database
    %sql sqlite:///mydatabase.db

    'Connected: @mydatabase.db'

In order to extract all the values from a table, we will use the following command : SELECT * FROM TABLE In our example, we want to display the data contained in the table named tutyfrutty

    %sql SELECT * FROM tutyfrutty

     * sqlite:///mydatabase.db
    Done.
