43. Video: AND and BETWEEN

AND & BETWEEN Operators

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
