AND Operator

The AND operator ensures both conditions must be true for a record to be selected.


Syntax:


SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name 
WHERE condition1 AND condition2;
Example
SELECT * FROM students
WHERE age >= 18 AND city = 'Mumbai';

Try it yourself

  • Retrieves students who are 18 or older AND live in Mumbai.

OR Operator

The OR operator selects records if at least one condition is true.


Syntax:


SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name 
WHERE condition1 OR condition2;
Example
SELECT * FROM students
WHERE age < 18 OR city = 'Mumbai';

Try it yourself

  • Retrieves students who are younger than 18 OR live in Mumbai.

NOT Operator

The NOT operator negates a condition (returns the opposite result).


Syntax:


SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name 
WHERE NOT condition;
Example
SELECT * FROM students
WHERE NOT age = 18;

Try it yourself

  • Retrieves students who are NOT 18 years old.

Combining AND, OR, and NOT

You can combine multiple operators using parentheses (()) for clarity.

Example
SELECT * FROM students
WHERE (age >= 18 AND city = 'Mumbai') OR NOT gender = 'Female';

Try it yourself

  • Retrieves students who are 18 or older and live in Mumbai OR are NOT female.
