5. Query anatomy: Comments
SQL as any programming language has the notion of comments – parts of the query that are not a query. If you open the Playground you’ll see the first default query:
-- This is your very first SQL query.
-- It lists all records from the users table:
SELECT *
FROM users
As you can see the first 2 lines 
are just a comment about what the query is doing. Comments are very useful for documentation of hacks/techniques you used in a query so other people (or you in 3 months) can understand what’s going on.
Alternative comments syntax
-- style comments are very handy when you need to comment out just one line. If you want to write a bigger comment you can also use /* ... */ style:
/* This is your very first SQL query.
It lists all records from the users table. */
SELECT *
FROM users
How to use comments in the course
All queries you’ll write in the SQL Habit course will be available to you in History. So if you found a nice hack or learned something new – make sure to drop a comment in your query so you can retrieve it later.
