Crafting Supporting Details for Paragraphs

Once you have written and are happy with your topic sentence, you can start to fill in the rest of your paragraph. This is where the detailed, well-structured notes you wrote earlier will come in handy. Make sure that your paragraph is coherent, which means that it is easy to read and understand, that each sentence connects with the next, and that everything flows nicely as a whole. To achieve this, try to write clear, simple sentences that express exactly what you want to say.

Using Transition Words Effectively

• Link each sentence with transition words which form a bridge between one sentence and the next. Transition words can help you compare and contrast, show sequence, show cause and effect, highlight

The Importance of Topic Sentences

Purpose of the Topic Sentence

A topic sentence is the most important sentence in a paragraph. It summarizes the main idea or thesis of the paragraph and helps organize the information within it. In formal writing, the topic sentence is usually the first sentence in a paragraph, but it doesn't have to be.

The topic sentence tells readers what the rest of the paragraph is about. All sentences after it should provide more information, prove the topic sentence with facts, or describe it in more detail.

Topic sentences also need to relate back to the thesis statement of the essay. The thesis statement is like a road map that tells the reader where the essay is going and how it will be treated.

Basic SQL Statements: DDL and DML Commands

Data Definition Language (DDL) Commands

DDL commands are used to define or modify the structure of database objects. All DDL commands are auto-committed, meaning they save all changes permanently in the database immediately after execution.

The primary DDL commands are:

• CREATE
• ALTER
• TRUNCATE
• DROP
• RENAME

CREATE Command

The CREATE command is used to define a new table structure. It uniquely defines each column, specifying its name and data type. Each column definition is separated by a comma, and the SQL statement is terminated with a semicolon.

Syntax:

CREATE TABLE table_name (
    column_name1 datatype1,
    column_name2 datatype2,
    ...
    column_namen datatypen
);

Example:

CREATE TABLE Student (
    reg_no
