The SQL OR statement returns records who meet one of many specified conditions in a WHERE statement. The AND statement returns records who meet all the specified conditions. Both clauses use the syntax: WHERE condition AND\/OR condition…;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

S<\/a>QL<\/a> WHERE statements select records from a table based on a particular condition. You don\u2019t have to limit your WHERE statement to just one condition. You can specify as many conditions as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where the SQL OR and AND operators come in. The OR statement checks whether one of two conditions is met. The AND operator checks whether two or more conditions are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we\u2019re going to talk about how to use the SQL AND and OR operators. We\u2019ll walk through an example of each of these operators to help you get started. Without further ado, let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the SQL AND Statement?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SQL AND operator returns all the records that meet the conditions linked by the AND operator. To use the AND operator, you must specify at least two conditions in a WHERE statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at the syntax of the AND operator:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SELECT column1, column2\nFROM table\nWHERE condition1 AND condition2;\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
The AND statement is used after the first statement in an SQL WHERE clause<\/a>. This query will only return records which meet both condition1 and condition2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use the WHERE clause on SQL SELECT<\/a>, SQL UPDATE<\/a>, and SQL DELETE<\/a> statements. This means that you can select, update, and delete records based on multiple conditions with the AND statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
