-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.BR Select
-will get all instances which satisfy the qualification,
-.IR qual ,
-compute the value of each element in the target list, and either (1)
-return them to an application program through one of two different
-kinds of portals or (2) store them in a new class.
-.PP
-If
-into table class name
-is specified, the result of the query will be stored in a new class
-with the indicated name.
-.PP
-The
-.BR "order by"
-clause allows a user to specify that he wishes the instances sorted
-according to the corresponding operator.  This operator must be a
-binary one returning a boolean.  Multiple sort fields are allowed and
-are applied from left to right.
-.PP
-The target list specifies the fields to be retrieved.  Each 
-.IR attr_name
-specifies the desired attribute or portion of an array attribute.
-Thus, each 
-.IR attr_name
-takes the form
-.nf
-class_name.att_name
-.fi
-or, if the user only desires part of an array,
-.nf
---
---Specify a lower and upper index for each dimension
---(i.e., clip a range of array elements)
---
-class_name.att_name[lIndex-1:uIndex-1]..[lIndex-i:uIndex-i]
-
---
---Specify an exact array element
---
-class_name.att_name[uIndex-1]..[uIndex-i]
-.fi
-where each 
-.IR lIndex
-or
-.IR uIndex
-is an integer constant.
-.PP
-When you retrieve an attribute which is of a complex type, the behavior
-of the system depends on whether you used "nested dots" to project
-out attributes of the complex type or not.  See the examples below.
-.PP
-You must have read access to a class to read its values (see
-.IR "grant/revoke" (l).
-.SH EXAMPLES
-.nf
---
---Find all employees who make more than their manager
---
-select e.name
-   from emp e, emp m
-   where e.mgr = m.name
-   and e.sal >  m.sal
-.fi
-.nf
---
---Retrieve all fields for those employees who make
---more than the average salary
---
-select avg(sal) as ave 
-   into table avgsal from emp;
-.fi
-.nf
---
---Retrieve all employee names in sorted order
---
-select distinct name
-   from emp
-   order by name using <
-.fi
-.nf
---
---Retrieve all employee names that were valid on 1/7/85 
---in sorted order
---
-selec name
-   from emp['January 7 1985'] e
-   order by name using < 
-.fi
-.nf
---
---Construct a new class, raise, containing 1.1
---times all employee's salaries

-.SH BUGS
-.BR "Select into"
-does not delete duplicates.
-.PP
-If the backend crashes in the course of executing a 
-.BR "select into" ,
-the class file will remain on disk.  It can be safely removed by the
-database DBA, but a subsequent
-.BR "select into"
-to the same name will fail with a cryptic error message about
-\*(lqBlockExtend\*(rq.
