SQL Query Statement

I am not a database administrator, but the other day i need to extract some data from a database. I can logon to the SQL Database, but I am not quite sure where the data is.

After some browsing around i found out that it can be done using a simple SQL query statement.

Here is the example:
SELECT Name, Comment, CollectionID (fieldname)
FROM v_Collection (tablename)
WHERE Name LIKE 'All Windows%'
ORDER BY Name
