Quotes Around Text Fields
SQL uses single quotes around text values (most database systems will also accept double quotes).Although, numeric values should not be enclosed in quotes.
For text values:
This is correct: SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE FirstName='Tove' This is wrong: SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE FirstName=Tove |
This is correct: SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE Year=1965 This is wrong: SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE Year='1965' |
Operators Allowed in the WHERE Clause
With the WHERE clause, the following operators can be used:Operator | Description |
---|---|
= | Equal |
<> | Not equal |
> | Greater than |
< | Less than |
>= | Greater than or equal |
<= | Less than or equal |
BETWEEN | Between an inclusive range |
LIKE | Search for a pattern |
IN | If you know the exact value you want to return for at least one of the columns |
