Table of Content:


The WHERE clause can be combined with AND, OR, and NOT operators.

The AND and OR operators are used to filter records based on more than one condition:

  • The AND operator displays a record if all the conditions separated by AND are TRUE.
  • The OR operator displays a record if any of the conditions separated by OR is TRUE.
  • The NOT operator displays a record if the condition(s) is NOT TRUE.

Syntax: AND


SELECT column1, column2, ..., columnN
FROM table_name
WHERE condition1 AND condition2 AND condition3 ..., AND columnmN;

Syntax: OR


SELECT column1, column2, ..., columnN
FROM table_name
WHERE condition1 OR condition2 OR condition3 ..., OR columnN;

Syntax: NOT


SELECT column1, column2, ..., columnN
FROM table_name
WHERE NOT condition;
