Jseldess/basic sql commands

[jseldess]

Added select basics to Query a Table section.

You can see html version here: http://cockroach-draft-docs.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/basic-sql-commands.html

Covers #5 and #33.

In future, will edit examples to be more specific, probably a bank scenario.

Is it really the case that these show up with quotes?
If it is, then the table below needs them as well (the one with aardvarks etc)

[petermattis]

This occurred with the switch to the pgwire driver. We can probably get rid of them as the formatting is up to us (currently we blindly use %q for any []byte returned).

[jseldess]

@petermattis, is this true for table names, field names, and types, as well, since all of those now show up with quotes?

root@:15432> show columns from cockroaches;
+----------------+----------+-------+---------+
|     Field      |   Type   | Null  | Default |
+----------------+----------+-------+---------+
| "country_code" | "STRING" | false | NULL    |
| "count"        | "INT"    | true  | NULL    |
| "date"         | "DATE"   | true  | NULL    |
+----------------+----------+-------+---------+
root@:15432> show tables;
+---------------+
|     Table     |
+---------------+
| "cockroaches" |
+---------------+

Please file an issue against the main repo to remove the quotes - at least from type names, column names, table names from the . String values are debatable, we can discuss in that issue. FWIW psql does not quote any of these (even when they have spaces).

@RaduBerinde, @petermattis: Latest commit should address your previous feedback:

• quotes fixed
• explanation of asc and desc sorting fixed
• now using statements instead of commands
• added create index and show index
• other minor tweaks

Please let me know if you have any other thoughts.
