Conditions and Comparisons
Posted by

C. SELECT Statement
There are five types of conditions in SQL:
Operators Conditions =, <>, <, >, <=, >= Comparison IS NULL Null testing BETWEEN Range of values IN In a list LIKE Pattern matching
IS NULL, BETWEEN, IN, and LIKE will be covered later.
There are six logical comparison operators or predicates in SQL:
Operator Comparison Expression = Equal to MAX_THRUST = 500 <> Not equal to MAX_THRUST <> 500 < Less than MAX_THRUST < 500 > Greater than MAX_THRUST > 500 <= Less than or equal to MAX_THRUST <= 500 >= Greater than or equal to MAX_THRUST >= 500
Notice that “=<” and “=>”are invalid. Only use “<=” and “>=”.
Combine and negate with:
AND Both conditions are true
OR Either condition is true
NOT Reverse a condition
