Operators are characters in the WHERE clause that preserve words or are primarily used for SQL statements and are used to perform actions such as comparison and arithmetic operations. These operators are used to specify the conditions in the SQL statement and to be used as a verse for multiple conditions in the statement.
There are several common operators:
Suppose the value of variable a is: 10, the value of variable b is: 20, and the following are the results of each operator execution:
Operator | Describe | Example |
---|---|---|
+ |
addition, performing addition operations. |
a plus b gets 30 |
- |
Subtract, perform subtract operations. |
a - b gets -10 |
* |
Multiplication, performing multiplication. |
a :b gets 200 |
/ |
Divide the left operans by the right. |
b / a gets 2 |
% |
Divide the left operant by the right and return the remaining number.
|
b % a gets 0 |
Suppose the value of variable a is: 10, the value of variable b is: 20, and the following are the results of each operator execution:
Operator | Describe | Example |
---|---|---|
= |
Check that the values of the two operasts are equal and, if so, true.
|
(a = b) is false. |
!= |
Check that the values of the two operasts are equal, and that the condition is true if the values are not equal.
|
(a != b) is true. |
<> | Check that the values of the two operasts are equal, and that the condition is true if the values are not equal. | (a <> b) is true. |
> |
Check that the value of the left operance is greater than the value of the right operast?
|
(a > b) is false. |
< | Check that the value of the left operance is less than the value of the right operance, and if so, the condition is true. | (a < b) is true. |
>= | Check that the value of the left operance is greater than or equal to the value of the right operans, and if so, the condition is true. | (a >= b) is false |
<= | Check that the value of the left operanzo is less than or equal to the value of the right operans, and if so, the condition is true. | (a <= b) is true. |
!< | Check that the value of the left operance is not less than the value of the right operans, and if so, the condition becomes true. | (a !< b) is false. |
!> | Check that the value of the left operance is not greater than the value of the right operast? | (a !> b) is true. |
This is a list of all logical operators in SQL.
Operator | Describe |
---|---|
ALL | The ALL operator is used to compare values to all values in another value set. |
AND |
The AND operator allows multiple conditions to be specified in the WHERE clause of the SQL statement.
|
ANY | The ANY operator is used to compare values to any applicable values in the list based on conditions. |
BETWEEN |
The BETWEEN operator is used to search for values within a given minimum and maximum value.
|
EXISTS | The EXISTS operator is used to search for rows in the specified table that meet certain criteria. |
IN | The IN operator is used to compare values to a list of text values that have been specified. |
LIKE | The LIKE operator is used to compare values to similar values using wildcard operators. |
NOT |
The NOT operator reverses the meaning of the logical operator that uses it. F
or example: NOT EXISTS, NOT BETWEEN, NOT IN, etc., this is a negative operator.
|
OR | The OR operator is used to combine multiple conditions in the WHERE clause of an SQL statement. |
IS NULL | The IS NULL operator is used to compare values to NULL values. |
UNIQUE | The UNIQUE operator searches for the uniqueness (no duplicates) of each row of the specified table. |
