What does the 'SELECT' statement in SQL do in the context of FortiAnalyzer?

The 'SELECT' statement in SQL is crucial for querying data from a database, including in the context of FortiAnalyzer. This command enables users to specify exactly which dataset or datasets they want to retrieve from the database, including conditions under which to filter or sort the results. By utilizing the 'SELECT' statement, users can define what information they need, whether it's logs, reports, or traffic data, thereby allowing for effective data analysis and reporting.

This function is essential for extracting meaningful insights from the complex data stored in FortiAnalyzer's databases, thus enhancing the user’s ability to make informed decisions based on the captured network activity and security events. It does not enhance data security, delete entries, or update parameters, as those functions are handled by different SQL commands.
