    Study Notes

    Filtering Data in SQL

    • The WHERE clause is essential in SQL for filtering data and avoiding sifting through irrelevant or summarized data.
    • SQL is not case sensitive, but string data in the database and literals are case sensitive.
    • Filtering data by date requires careful formatting, and the format can be adjusted in the preferences.
    • The equal sign is used for filtering with inclusion, while the <> and != characters represent not equal scenarios.
    • Greater than and less than operators are straightforward for numbers but require single quotes for dates.
    • The BETWEEN operator is used for range queries, such as orders within a specific week.
    • The IN operator is used for queries with multiple conditions, such as vendors from multiple provinces.
    • The LIKE keyword is used with wildcard characters (%) and (_) for pattern matching, such as customers with last names starting with "P."
    • Null is a special condition that requires the keywords IS or IS NOT for filtering.
    • Logical operators (NOT, AND, OR) are used for combining conditions, and their order of evaluation is NOT, AND, OR.
    • Combination of logical operators can be tricky and requires parenthesis for clarification.
    • SQL provides various operators for filtering data, making queries cleaner and more efficient.
