select(int, int)
- Method in class java.awt.TextComponent 
public void select (int selectionStart, int selectionEnd)
Selects the text between the specified start and end positions. This method sets the start and end positions of the selected text, enforcing the restriction that the start position must be greater than or equal to zero. The end position must be greater than or equal to the start position, and less than or equal to the length of the text component's text. The character positions are indexed starting with zero. The length of the selection is endPosition-startPosition, so the character at endPosition is not selected. If the start and end positions of the selected text are equal, all text is deselected. If the caller supplies values that are inconsistent or out of bounds, the method enforces these constraints silently, and without failure. Specifically, if the start position or end position is greater than the length of the text, it is reset to equal the text length. If the start position is less than zero, it is reset to zero, and if the end position is less than the start position, it is reset to the start position.Parameters: selectionStart - the zero-based index of the first character to be selected. - the zero-based end position of the text to be selected. The character at selectionEnd is not selected.selectionEnd - the zero-based end position of the text to be selected. The character at selectionEnd is not selected.See Also:  setSelectionStart(int) , setSelectionEnd(int) , selectAll()

It is routed to a call to setCaretPosition followed by a call to moveCaretPostion. The preferred way to manage selection is by calling those methods directly.Parameters: selectionStart - the start position of the text >= 0 - the end position of the text >= 0selectionEnd - the end position of the text >= 0See Also:  setCaretPosition(int) , moveCaretPosition(int)

Select (SQL)
An SQL SELECT statement returns a result set of records from one or more tables.

It retrieves zero or more rows from one or more base tables, temporary tables, or views in a database. In most applications, SELECT is the most commonly used Data Manipulation Language (DML) command. As SQL is a non-procedural language, SELECT queries specify a result set, but do not specify how to calculate it: translating the query into an executable "query plan" is left to the database system, more specifically to the query optimiser.
