execution order of clauses.
-Select
It starts execution with
-from (Choose and join tables to get base data)
after from
-where ( filters base data )
-group by (Aggregates base data)
-having (filters aggregated data)
-select (returns final data)
-order by (sorts the final data)
-limit (limits the returned data to a row count)
