MySQL Tutorial
The AND, OR, and NOT operators in MySQL are used in the WHERE
clause to filter records based on multiple conditions.

The AND
operator ensures both conditions must be true for a record to be selected.
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name WHERE condition1 AND condition2;
The OR
operator selects records if at least one condition is true.
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name WHERE condition1 OR condition2;
The NOT
operator negates a condition (returns the opposite result).
SELECT column1, column2 FROM table_name WHERE NOT condition;
You can combine multiple operators using parentheses (()
) for clarity.
