Data Manipulation Language

Use Data Manipulation Language (DML) of SQL to access and modify database data by using the select, update, insert, delete, truncate, begin, commit, and rollback commands.

When you are using commands to manipulate data, you can use row values. SQL-92 row values are supported. For example:
SELECT * FROM emp WHERE (id, name,grp)=(3,'John','sdev');
