Maria DB Where clause

Where clause filters various statements such as SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT. T hey proposed criteria for designation of actions. T hey usually appear after the table name in the statement, with the following conditions. T he WHERE clause is essentially like an if statement.

See the general syntax of the WHERE clause given below -

[COMMAND] field,field2,... FROM table_name,table_name2,... WHERE [CONDITION]

Note the following features of the WHERE clause:

• It is optional.

• It allows any condition to be specified.

• It allows you to specify multiple conditions by using the AND or OR operator.

• Case sensitive applies only to statements that are compared using LIKE.

The WHERE clause allows the following operators to be used -

Where clauses can be used in command prompts or PHP scripts.

Command prompt

At the command prompt, simply use the standard command -

root@host# mysql -u root -p password;
Enter password:*******
mysql> use PRODUCTS;
Database changed
mysql> SELECT * from products_tbl WHERE product_manufacturer = 'XYZ Corp';
+-------------+----------------+----------------------+
| ID_number   | Nomenclature   | product_manufacturer |
+-------------+----------------+----------------------+
| 12345       | Orbitron 4000  | XYZ Corp             |
+-------------+----------------+----------------------+
| 12346       | Orbitron 3000  | XYZ Corp             |
+-------------+----------------+----------------------+
| 12347       | Orbitron 1000  | XYZ Corp             |
+-------------+----------------+----------------------+

View examples with AND conditions -

SELECT *
FROM products_tbl
WHERE product_name = 'Bun Janshu 3000';
AND product_id <= 344;

This example combines AND and OR conditions

SELECT *
FROM products_tbl
WHERE (product_name = 'Bun Janshu 3000' AND product_id < 344)
OR (product_name = 'Bun Janshu 3000');

PhP scripts use the Where clause

Apply the function () function mysql_query where clause is used -

<?php
   $dbhost = 'localhost:3036';
   $dbuser = 'root';
   $dbpass = 'rootpassword';
   $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
   
   if(! $conn ) {
      die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
   }

   $sql = 'SELECT product_id, product_name, product_manufacturer, ship_date
      FROM products_tbl
      WHERE product_manufacturer = "XYZ Corp"';
   
   mysql_select_db('PRODUCTS');
   $retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
   
   if(! $retval ) {
      die('Could not get data: ' . mysql_error());
   }

   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($retval, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
      echo "Product ID :{$row['product_id']} <br> ".
         "Name: {$row['product_name']} <br> ".
         "Manufacturer: {$row['product_manufacturer']} <br> ".
         "Ship Date: {$row['ship_date']} <br> ".
         "--------------------------------<br>";
   }

   echo "Fetched data successfully
";
   mysql_close($conn);
?>

After a successful data retrieval, you will see the following output -
