• I would add:

    ° How to apply updates to single rows, all rows or multiple chosen rows (UPDATE statement).

    ° How to delete single rows, all rows or multiple chosen rows (DELETE statement).

    ° How to return data in a specific ordering; both rows and columns (ORDER BY clause and SELECT statement).

    I totally agree that once you know how and when to apply a technique it can be appropriate to need to check the "how" dependent on ones role.
