+This page contains some samples of SQL statements that can be executed in Hyrise.
+
+
+**Create Tables**
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS students FROM TBL FILE 'test/students.tbl';
+CREATE TABLE test (v1 INTEGER, v2 INTEGER, v3 INTEGER);
+```
+
+
+**Select with Join**
+```sql
+SELECT name, city, * FROM students AS t1 JOIN students AS t2 ON t1.city = t2.city WHERE t1.grade < 2.0 AND t2.grade > 2.0 AND t1.city = 'Frohnau' ORDER BY t1.grade DESC;
+```
+
+
+**Group By**
+```sql
+SELECT city, AVG(grade) AS average, MIN(grade) AS best, MAX(grade) AS worst FROM students GROUP BY city;
+```
+
+
+**Update and Delete**
+```sql
+UPDATE students SET name='Max Mustermann' WHERE name = 'Ralf Stiebitz';
+DELETE FROM students WHERE name = 'Max Mustermann';
+```
+
+
+**Prepare and Execute**
+```sql
+PREPARE batch_insert {
+	INSERT INTO test VALUES (?, 0, 0);
+	INSERT INTO test VALUES (?, 0, 0);
+	INSERT INTO test VALUES (?, 0, 0);
+	INSERT INTO test VALUES (?, 0, 0);
+	INSERT INTO test VALUES (?, 0, 0);
+};
