(SQL tutorials for Business Analyst & Beginners)
In this end-to-end example, you will learn – SQL Tutorials for Business Analyst: SQL | WHERE Clause.
The SQL WHERE clause is used to specify a condition while fetching the data from a single table or by joining with multiple tables. If the given condition is satisfied, then only it returns a specific value from the table. You should use the WHERE clause to filter the records and fetching only the necessary records.
The WHERE clause is not only used in the SELECT statement, but it is also used in the UPDATE, DELETE statement, etc., which we would examine in the subsequent chapters.
Syntax
The basic syntax of the SELECT statement with the WHERE clause is as shown below.
SELECT column1, column2, columnN FROM table_name WHERE [condition]
You can specify a condition using the comparison or logical operators like >, <, =, LIKE, NOT, etc. The following examples would make this concept clear.
Example
Consider the CUSTOMERS table having the following records −
+----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ | ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ | 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 | | 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 | | 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 | | 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 | | 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 | | 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 | | 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 | +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
The following code is an example which would fetch the ID, Name and Salary fields from the CUSTOMERS table, where the salary is greater than 2000 −
SQL> SELECT ID, NAME, SALARY FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE SALARY > 2000;
This would produce the following result −
+----+----------+----------+ | ID | NAME | SALARY | +----+----------+----------+ | 4 | Chaitali | 6500.00 | | 5 | Hardik | 8500.00 | | 6 | Komal | 4500.00 | | 7 | Muffy | 10000.00 | +----+----------+----------+
The following query is an example, which would fetch the ID, Name and Salary fields from the CUSTOMERS table for a customer with the name Hardik.
Here, it is important to note that all the strings should be given inside single quotes (”). Whereas, numeric values should be given without any quote as in the above example.
SQL> SELECT ID, NAME, SALARY FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE NAME = 'Hardik';
This would produce the following result −
+----+----------+----------+ | ID | NAME | SALARY | +----+----------+----------+ | 5 | Hardik | 8500.00 | +----+----------+----------+
