SQL Logical Operators

Logical Operators

The Logical operators are those that are true or false. They return a true or false values to combine one or more true or false values.

The Logical operators are:

Operator Description
AND Logical AND compares between two Booleans as expression and returns true when both expressions are true...
OR Logical OR compares between two Booleans as expression and returns true when one of the expression is true...
NOT Not takes a single Boolean as an argument and changes its value from false to true or from true to false....
Special operators
Operator Description Operates on
IN The IN operator checks a value within a set of values separated by commas and retrieve the rows from the table which are matching.... Any set of values of the same datatype
BETWEEN The SQL BETWEEN operator tests an expression against a range. The range consists of a beginning, followed by an AND keyword and an end expression.... Numeric, characters, or datetime values
ANY ANY compares a value to each value in a list or results from a query and evaluates to true if the result of an inner query contains at least one row.... A value to a list or a single - columns set of values
ALL ALL is used to select all records of a SELECT STATEMENT. It compares a value to every value in a list or results from a query. The ALL must be preceded by the comparison operators and evaluates to TRUE if the query returns no rows.... A value to a list or a single - columns set of values
SOME SOME compare a value to each value in a list or results from a query and evaluate to true if the result of an inner query contains at least one row... A value to a list or a single - columns set of values
EXISTS The EXISTS checks the existence of a result of a subquery. The EXISTS subquery tests whether a subquery fetches at least one row. When no data is returned then this operator returns 'FALSE'... Table

Syntax:

SELECT [column_name | * | expression] [logical operator]
[column_name | * | expression .....]
FROM <table_name>
WHERE <expressions> [ logical operator |
arithmetic operator | ...] <expressions>;

Parameters:

Name Description
column_name Name of the column of a table.
* All the columns of a table.
expression Expression made up of a single constant, variable, scalar function, or column name and can also be the pieces of a SQL query that compare values against other values or perform arithmetic calculations.
table_name Name of the sable.
logical operator AND, OR , NOT etc.
arithmetic operator Plus(+), minus(-), multiply(*) and divide(/).

SQL Logical AND operator

Logical AND compares two Booleans as expression and returns TRUE when both of the conditions are TRUE and returns FALSE when either is FALSE; otherwise, returns UNKNOWN (an operator that has one or two NULL expressions returns UNKNOWN).

1. 'cust_country'  must be  ’UK’,

2. and 'grade' of the 'customer'   must be  2,

the following SQL statement can be used :

SQL Code:


SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade
-- Selecting specific columns: cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade
FROM customer
-- From the table named "customer"
WHERE cust_country = 'UK' AND grade = 2;
-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is 'UK' AND the value in the column "grade" is 2

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".
  • WHERE cust_country = 'UK' AND grade = 2: This is a conditional clause that filters the rows returned by the query. It specifies that only rows where the value in the "cust_country" column is 'UK' and the value in the "grade" column is 2 should be included in the result set.

Output:

Logical OR compares two Booleans as expression and returns TRUE when either of the conditions is TRUE and returns FALSE when both are FALSE. otherwise, returns UNKNOWN (an operator that has one or two NULL expressions returns UNKNOWN).

Example:

To get data of 'cust_code', 'cust_name', 'cust_city', 'cust_country' and 'grade' from the 'customer' with following conditions -

1. either 'cust_country' is  ’USA’,

2. or 'grade' of the 'customer' is  3,

the following SQL statement can be used :

SQL Code:


SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade
-- Selecting specific columns: cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade
FROM customer
-- From the table named "customer"
WHERE cust_country = 'USA' OR grade = 3;
-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is 'USA' OR the value in the column "grade" is 3

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.

SQL Logical NOT operator

Logical NOT takes a single Boolean as an argument and changes its value from false to true or from true to false.

Example:

To get all columns from the 'customer' table with following condition -

1. grade for the customer not greater than 1,

the following SQL statement can be used :

SQL Code:


-- Selecting all columns (*)
FROM customer
-- From the table named "customer"
WHERE NOT grade > 1;
-- Where the value in the column "grade" is NOT greater than 1

Explanation:

  • SELECT *: This specifies that we want to retrieve all columns from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".
  • WHERE NOT grade > 1: This is a conditional clause that filters the rows returned by the query. It specifies that rows where the value in the "grade" column is NOT greater than 1 should be included in the result set.

SQL Logical multiple AND operator

In the following topics, we are discussing the usage of multiple AND operator.

In the following example, more than one 'AND' operators along with the SQL SELECT STATEMENT is used.

Example:

To get data of 'cust_code', 'cust_name', 'cust_city', 'cust_country' and 'grade' from the 'customer' table with following conditions -

1.'cust_country' is  ’UK',

2.and 'cust_city' is 'London',

3.and 'grade' of the 'customer' must be greater than 1,

the following SQL statement can be used :

SQL Code:


SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade
-- Selecting specific columns: cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade
FROM customer
-- From the table named "customer"
WHERE cust_country = 'UK'
-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is 'UK'
AND cust_city = 'London'
-- And the value in the column "cust_city" is 'London'
AND grade > 1;
-- And the value in the column "grade" is greater than 1

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".
  • WHERE cust_country = 'UK' AND cust_city = 'London' AND grade > 1: This is a conditional clause that filters the rows returned by the query. It specifies that only rows where the value in the "cust_country" column is 'UK', the value in the "cust_city" column is 'London', and the value in the "grade" column is greater than 1 should be included in the result set.

Output:

SQL Logical AND OR comparison operator

In the following topic, we are discussing the usage of 'AND' and 'OR' operator.

Using AND OR comparison operator with the select statement an example have shown.

Example:

To get data of 'cust_code', 'cust_name', 'cust_city', 'cust_country' and 'grade' from the 'customer' table with following conditions -

1. 'cust_country' is  ’UK’ or cust_city is 'London' ,

2. and 'grade' of the 'customer' must be other than 3 ,

the following SQL statement can be used :

SQL Code:


SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade
-- Selecting specific columns: cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade
FROM customer
-- From the table named "customer"
WHERE (cust_country = 'UK' OR cust_city = 'London')
-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is 'UK' OR the value in the column "cust_city" is 'London'
AND grade <> 3;
-- And the value in the column "grade" is not equal to 3

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".
  • WHERE (cust_country = 'UK' OR cust_city = 'London') AND grade <> 3: This is a conditional clause that filters the rows returned by the query. It specifies that only rows where either the value in the "cust_country" column is 'UK' or the value in the "cust_city" column is 'London', and the value in the "grade" column is not equal to 3 should be included in the result set.

Output:

SQL Logical NOT AND operator

In the following example, NOT, AND operator along with the SQL SELECT STATEMENT have used.

Example:

To get data of 'cust_code', 'cust_name', 'cust_city', 'cust_country' and 'grade' from the 'customer' table with following conditions -

1. 'cust_country' must be 'India',

2. and 'grade' of the 'customer' must be other than 3,

the following SQL statement can be used :

SQL Code:


SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade
-- Selecting specific columns: cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade
FROM customer
-- From the table named "customer"
WHERE cust_country = 'India'
-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is 'India'
AND NOT grade = 3;
-- And the value in the column "grade" is not equal to 3

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".
  • WHERE cust_country = 'India' AND NOT grade = 3: This is a conditional clause that filters the rows returned by the query. It specifies that only rows where the value in the "cust_country" column is 'India' and the value in the "grade" column is not equal to 3 should be included in the result set.

Output:

SQL Logical multiple NOT operator

In the following topics, we are discussing the usage of multiple NOT operator.

In the following example, more than one NOT operators with the SQL SELECT STATEMENT have used.

Example:

To get data of 'cust_code', 'cust_name', 'cust_city', 'cust_country' and 'grade' from the 'customer' table with following conditions -

1. 'cust_country' is other than 'India',

2. and 'cust_city' must be other than 'London',

3. and 'grade' of the 'customer' must be other than 1,

the following SQL statement can be used :

SQL Code:


SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade
-- Selecting specific columns: cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade
FROM customer
-- From the table named "customer"
WHERE NOT cust_country = 'India'
-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is NOT 'India'
AND NOT cust_city = 'London'
-- And the value in the column "cust_city" is NOT 'London'
AND NOT grade = 1;
-- And the value in the column "grade" is NOT 1

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".
  • WHERE NOT cust_country = 'India': This is a conditional clause that filters the rows returned by the query. It specifies that only rows where the value in the "cust_country" column is NOT 'India' should be included in the result set.
  • AND NOT cust_city = 'London': This further narrows down the results by excluding rows where the value in the "cust_city" column is NOT 'London'.
  • AND NOT grade = 1: This adds another condition to the query, ensuring that rows where the value in the "grade" column is NOT 1 are also included.

Output:

SQL Logical multiple NOT with equal to (=) operator

In the following topic, we are discussing the usage of multiple NOT operator with EQUAL TO operator.

In the following example, more than one Not operators and comparison operator equal to ( = ) with the SQL SELECT STATEMENT have used.

Example:

To get data of 'cust_code', 'cust_name', 'cust_city', 'cust_country' and 'grade' from the 'customer' table with following conditions -

1. 'cust_country' is other than 'India',

2. and 'cust_city' must be other than 'London',

3. and 'grade' of the 'customer' must be 1 ,

the following SQL statement can be used :

SQL Code:


SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade
-- Selecting specific columns: cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade
FROM customer
-- From the table named "customer"
WHERE NOT cust_country = 'India'
-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is NOT 'India'
AND NOT cust_city = 'London'
-- And the value in the column "cust_city" is NOT 'London'
AND grade = 1;
-- And the value in the column "grade" is 1

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".
  • WHERE NOT cust_country = 'India': This is a conditional clause that filters the rows returned by the query. It specifies that only rows where the value in the "cust_country" column is NOT 'India' should be included in the result set.

SQL Logical multiple NOT with not equal to operator

In the following topic, we are discussing the usage of multiple NOT operator with NOT EQUAL TO operator.

In the following example, 'NOT' operator and comparison operator 'not equal to' ( < > ) along with the SQL SELECT STATEMENT have used.

Example:

To get data of 'cust_code', 'cust_name', 'cust_city', 'cust_country' and 'grade' from the 'customer' table with following conditions -

1. 'cust_country' is other than 'India',S

2. and 'cust_city' must be other than 'London' ,

3. and 'grade' of the 'customer' must be not equal to other than 1,

the following SQL statement can be used :

SQL Code:


SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade 
-- Selecting specific columns: cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade 
FROM customer 
-- From the table named "customer" 
WHERE NOT cust_country = 'India' 
-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is NOT 'India' 
AND NOT cust_city = 'London' 
-- And the value in the column "cust_city" is NOT 'London' 
AND NOT grade <> 1;
-- And the value in the column "grade" is NOT NOT equal to 1

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".
  • WHERE NOT cust_country = 'India': This is a conditional clause that filters the rows returned by the query. It specifies that only rows where the value in the "cust_country" column is NOT 'India' should be included in the result set.
  • AND NOT cust_city = 'London': This further narrows down the results by excluding rows where the value in the "cust_city" column is NOT 'London'.
  • AND NOT grade <> 1: This condition seems to be incorrectly formulated. NOT grade <> 1 essentially means "grade is not not equal to 1," which is equivalent to "grade is equal to 1." So, this part of the query contradicts the intended logic of selecting only rows where the grade is not equal to 1.

Output:

CUST_CODE       CUST_NAME       CUST_CITY       CUST_COUNTRY              GRADE

-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is NOT 'UK' OR the value in the column "cust_city" is NOT 'Bangalore' 
AND grade > 1;
-- And the value in the column "grade" is greater than 1

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".

SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade 
-- Selecting specific columns: cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade 
FROM customer 
-- From the table named "customer" 
WHERE NOT (cust_country = 'UK' OR cust_city = 'Bangalore') 
-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is NOT 'UK' AND the value in the column "cust_city" is NOT 'Bangalore' 
AND grade > 1 
-- And the value in the column "grade" is greater than 1 
AND NOT grade = 3;
-- And the value in the column "grade" is NOT 3

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".
  • WHERE NOT (cust_country = 'UK' OR cust_city = 'Bangalore'): This is a conditional clause that filters the rows returned by the query. It specifies that only rows where the value in the "cust_country" column is NOT 'UK' and the value in the "cust_city" column is NOT 'Bangalore' should be included in the result set.
  • AND grade > 1: This further narrows down the results by including only rows where the value in the "grade" column is greater than 1.
  • AND NOT grade = 3: This adds another condition to the query, ensuring that rows where the value in the "grade" column is NOT 3 are also included.

Output:

CUST_CODE       CUST_NAME       CUST_CITY       CUST_COUNTRY              GRADE

SQL Logical AND NOT OR with LESS THAN, GREATER THAN operator

In the following topic, we are discussing the usage of logical AND NOT OR with LESS THAN (< ) GREATER THAN (>) operator.

Example:

To get data of 'cust_code', 'cust_name', 'cust_city', 'cust_country' and 'grade' from the 'customer' table with following conditions -

1. 'cust_country' is not other than 'UK',

2. or 'cust_city' must be not other than 'Bangalore',

3. and 'grade' of the customer must be within the range 1 to 3,

the following SQL statement can be used :

SQL Code:


SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade 
-- Selecting specific columns: cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade 
FROM customer 
-- From the table named "customer" 
WHERE NOT (cust_country = 'UK' OR cust_city = 'Bangalore') 
-- Where the value in the column "cust_country" is NOT 'UK' AND the value in the column "cust_city" is NOT 'Bangalore' 
AND grade > 1 
-- And the value in the column "grade" is greater than 1 
AND grade < 3;
-- And the value in the column "grade" is less than 3

Explanation:

  • SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, grade: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, cust_country, and grade) from the table.
  • FROM customer: This indicates the table from which we want to retrieve the data. In this case, the table is named "customer".
  • WHERE NOT (cust_country = 'UK' OR cust_city = 'Bangalore'): This is a conditional clause that filters the rows returned by the query. It specifies that only rows where the value in the "cust_country" column is NOT 'UK' and the value in the "cust_city" column is NOT 'Bangalore' should be included in the result set.

  • AND grade < 3: This adds another condition to the query, ensuring that rows where the value in the "grade" column is less than 3 are also included.

Output:

OR ord_amount < 4000);
-- OR the value in the column "ord_amount" is less than 4000

Explanation:

  • SELECT ord_num, ord_amount, advance_amount, ord_date, cust_code, agent_code: This specifies that we want to retrieve specific columns (ord_num, ord_amount, advance_amount, ord_date, cust_code, and agent_code) from the table.
