SQL AND OR


  SQL > SQL Commands > And Or

In the previous section, we have seen that the WHERE keyword can be used to conditionally select data from a table. This condition can be a simple condition (like the one presented in the previous section), or it can be a compound condition. Compound conditions are made up of multiple simple conditions connected by AND or OR. There is no limit to the number of simple conditions that can be present in a single SQL statement.

The syntax for a compound condition is as follows:

SELECT "column_name"
FROM "table_name"
WHERE "simple condition"
{[AND|OR] "simple condition"}+

The {}+ means that the expression inside the bracket will occur one or more times. Note that AND and OR can be used interchangeably. In addition, we may use the parenthesis sign () to indicate the order of the condition.

For example, we may wish to select all stores with sales greater than $1,000 or all stores with sales less than $500 but greater than $275 in Table Store_Information,

Table Store_Information
store_name Sales Date
Los Angeles $1500 Jan-05-1999
San Diego $250 Jan-07-1999
San Francisco $300 Jan-08-1999
Boston $700 Jan-08-1999

we key in,

SELECT store_name
FROM Store_Information
WHERE Sales > 1000
OR (Sales < 500 AND Sales > 275)


Result:

store_name
Los Angeles
San Francisco
