Preface

SQL Queries


Working with SQL queries gets really interesting when developing extensions. You will learn how to develop your own TYPO3 extensions in Chapter 11. But in anticipation, we are going to foreshadow what this entails.

Let's assume that you are developing your own extension that will list your customers' references in detail on an existing page. The focus in this chapter is on the programming of SQL queries.

In the following sections we will show you the Kickstarter, the extension key, and the importance of the individual fields when building an extension.
