Study Notes

SQL WHERE Clause

The SQL WHERE clause is used to specify a condition while fetching data from a single table or joining with multiple tables.
The syntax is: SELECT columns FROM table_name WHERE [condition].
Examples:
- SELECT * FROM info WHERE address = 'Akre';
- SELECT * FROM info WHERE id > 2;
- SELECT * FROM info WHERE id <= 2;
- SELECT * FROM info WHERE birthdate < '2000-01-01';

SQL Operators

SQL Comparison Operators

Examples:
- SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE Salary = 60000;
- SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE Salary != 60000;

SQL Logical Operators

AND Logical Operator:
- Used to combine two or more conditions in a WHERE clause.
- Example: SELECT Customer_name FROM Orders WHERE Items_purchased = 'pencil' OR Items_purchased = 'eraser' AND City = 'London';
NOT Logical Operator:
- Used to filter only those rows that do not meet the conditions mentioned in the WHERE clause.
- Example: SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE NOT Items_purchased = 'pencil';
NOT – AND – OR Logical Operator:
- Example: SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE NOT MONTH(Order_date) = '2' AND Items_purchased = 'Books';

SQL Between Operators

The SQL BETWEEN condition allows testing if an expression is within a range of values (inclusive).
The values can be text, date, or numbers.
Example: SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE OrderDate BETWEEN '2023-01-01' AND '2023-01-07';

SQL IN Operators

The SQL IN operator is used to select data that matches any value in a list.
Example: SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE sal IN (50000, 60000, 70000);
Example: SELECT * FROM info WHERE address IN ('Hawler', 'Duhok');

SQL NULL Values

A NULL value is a field with no value.
If a field in a table is optional, it is possible to insert a new record or update a record without adding a value to this field.
Then, the field will be saved with a NULL value.
