SQL Where Clause |
SQL Where Clause
WHERE
Clause (and/or, IN
, BETWEEN
, and LIKE
)
The WHERE
clause is used to limit the number of rows returned.
In this case all five of these will be used is a some what ridiculous WHERE
clause.
Here is the current full student list to compare to the WHERE
clause result set:
select studentID, FullName, sat_score, rcd_updated from student;
+-----------+------------------------+-----------+---------------------+
| studentID | FullName | sat_score | rcd_updated |
+-----------+------------------------+-----------+---------------------+
| 1 | Monique Davis | 400 | 2017-08-16 15:34:50 |
| 2 | Teri Gutierrez | 800 | 2017-08-16 15:34:50 |
| 3 | Spencer Pautier | 1000 | 2017-08-16 15:34:50 |
| 4 | Louis Ramsey | 1200 | 2017-08-16 15:34:50 |
| 5 | Alvin Greene | 1200 | 2017-08-16 15:34:50 |
| 6 | Sophie Freeman | 1200 | 2017-08-16 15:34:50 |
| 7 | Edgar Frank "Ted" Codd | 2400 | 2017-08-16 15:35:33 |
| 8 | Donald D. Chamberlin | 2400 | 2017-08-16 15:35:33 |
| 9 | Raymond F. Boyce | 2400 | 2017-08-16 15:35:33 |
+-----------+------------------------+-----------+---------------------+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Rows will be presented that....
WHERE
Student IDs are between 1 and 5 (inclusive)OR
studentID = 8
Here's an updated query, where any record that has an SAT score that's in this list (1000, 1400) will not be presented:
select studentID, FullName, sat_score, recordUpdated
from student
where (studentID between 1 and 5 or studentID = 8)
and
sat_score NOT in (1000, 1400);
+-----------+----------------------+-----------+---------------------+
| studentID | FullName | sat_score | rcd_updated |
+-----------+----------------------+-----------+---------------------+

*As with all of these SQL things there is MUCH MORE to them than what's in this introductory guide.
I hope this at least gives you enough to get started.
Please see the manual for your database manager and have fun trying different options yourself.
