SQL - Comparison Operators

Consider CUSTOMERS table has following records:

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS; +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ | 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 | +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here are simple examples showing usage of SQL Comparison Operators:

SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE SALARY > 5000; +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ | ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ | 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 | | 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 | | 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 | +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE SALARY = 2000; +----+---------+-----+-----------+---------+ | ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | +----+---------+-----+-----------+---------+ | 1 | Ramesh | 32 | Ahmedabad | 2000.00 | | 3 | kaushik | 23 | Kota | 2000.00 | +----+---------+-----+-----------+---------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE SALARY != 2000; +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ | ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ | 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 | | 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 | | 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 | | 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 | | 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 | +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE SALARY <> 2000; +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ | ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ | 2 | Khilan | 25 | Delhi | 1500.00 | | 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 | | 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 | | 6 | Komal | 22 | MP | 4500.00 | | 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 | +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) SQL> SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE SALARY >= 6500; +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ | ID | NAME | AGE | ADDRESS | SALARY | +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ | 4 | Chaitali | 25 | Mumbai | 6500.00 | | 5 | Hardik | 27 | Bhopal | 8500.00 | | 7 | Muffy | 24 | Indore | 10000.00 | +----+----------+-----+---------+----------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
