AND and BETWEEN

 

AND and BETWEEN


The AND operator is used within a WHERE statement to consider more than one logical clause at a time. Each time you link a new statement with an AND, you will need to specify the column you are interested in looking at. You may link as many statements as you would like to consider at the same time. This operator works with all of the operations we have seen so far including arithmetic operators (+, *, -, /).* LIKE*,* IN*, and* NOT logic can also be linked together using the AND* operator.


BETWEEN Operator


Sometimes we can make a cleaner statement using BETWEEN than we can using AND. Particularly this is true when we are using the same column for different parts of our AND statement. In the previous video, we probably should have used BETWEEN.


Instead of writing :


WHERE column >= 6 AND column <= 10


we can instead write, equivalently:


WHERE column BETWEEN 6 AND 10

Entity Relationship Diagrams

  Entity Relationship Diagrams From the last lesson, you might remember that an  entity relationship diagram  (ERD) is a common way to view data in a database. It is also a key element to understanding how we can pull data from multiple tables. It will be beneficial to have an idea of what the ERD looks like for Parch & Posey handy, so I have posted it again below.  You might even print a copy to have with you as you work through the exercises in the remaining content. Tables & Columns In the Parch & Posey database there are 5 tables: web_events accounts orders sales_reps region You will notice some of the columns in the tables have  PK  or  FK  next to the column name, while other columns don't have a label at all. If you look a little closer, you might notice that the  PK  is associated with the first column in every table. The  PK  here stands for  primary key .  A primary key exists in every table, and...

Arithmetic Operators

  Arithmetic Operators Derived Columns Creating a new column that is a combination of existing columns is known as a  derived  column (or "calculated" or "computed" column). Usually you want to give a name, or "alias," to your new column using the  AS  keyword. This derived column, and its alias, are generally only temporary, existing just for the duration of your query. The next time you run a query and access this table, the new column will not be there. If you are deriving the new column from existing columns using a mathematical expression, then these familiar mathematical operators will be useful: *  (Multiplication) +  (Addition) -  (Subtraction) /  (Division) Consider this example: SELECT id , ( standard_amt_usd / total_amt_usd ) * 100 AS std_percent , total_amt_usd FROM orders LIMIT 10 ; Here we divide the standard paper dollar amount by the total order amount to find the standard paper percent for the order, and use the  ...

NOT

  NOT The  NOT  operator is an extremely useful operator for working with the previous two operators we introduced:  IN  and  LIKE . By specifying  NOT LIKE  or  NOT IN , we can grab all of the rows that do not meet a particular criteria. Questions using the NOT operator We can pull all of the rows that were excluded from the queries in the previous two concepts with our new operator. Use the  accounts  table to find the account name, primary poc, and sales rep id for all stores except Walmart, Target, and Nordstrom. Use the  web_events  table to find all information regarding individuals who were contacted via any method except using  organic  or  adwords  methods. Use the  accounts  table to find: All the companies whose names do not start with 'C'. All companies whose names do not contain the string 'one' somewhere in the name. All companies whose names do not end with 's'. Solutions to NOT...
