select * from cd.facilities;          

The SELECT statement is the basic starting block for queries that read information out of the database. A minimal select statement is generally comprised of select [some set of columns] from [some table or group of tables].

In this case, we want all of the information from the facilities table. The from section is easy - we just need to specify the cd.facilities table. 'cd' is the table's schema - a term used for a logical grouping of related information in the database.

Next, we need to specify that we want all the columns. Conveniently, there's a shorthand for 'all columns' - *. We can use this instead of laboriously specifying all the column names.

select * can be used to retrieve all columns from a table.
