The WHERE clause in SQL can be enhanced with AND, OR, and NOT operators:
The NOT operator displays a record if the specified condition(s) is FALSE.
SELECT column1, column2, … FROM table_name WHERE condition1 AND condition2 AND condition3 …; |
SELECT column1, column2, … FROM table_name WHERE condition1 OR condition2 OR condition3 …; |
SELECT column1, column2, … FROM table_name WHERE NOT condition; |
