SQL operators are reserved keywords used in the WHERE clause of a 

SQL statement to perform

arithmetic, logical and comparison operations. Operators act as conjunctions in SQL statements to fulfill
multiple conditions in a statement.
Since, there are different types of operators in SQL, let us understand the same in the next section of this
article on SQL operators.
Types of SQL Operators

Arithmetic Operators
These operators are used to perform operations such as addition, multiplication, subtraction etc.

Operato
Operation Description
r
+ Addition Add values on either side of the operator
– Subtraction Used to subtract the right-hand side value from the left-hand side value 
Multiplicatio
*  Multiples the values present on each side of the operator
n
/ Division Divides the left-hand side value by the right-hand side value
Divides the left-hand side value by the right-hand side value; and returns the
% Modulus
remainder 

Example
Comparison Operators

These operators are used to perform operations such as equal to, greater than, less than etc.

Operato
Operation Description
r
Used to check if the values of both operands are equal or not. If they are
= Equal to
equal, then it returns TRUE.
Returns TRUE if the value of left operand is greater than the right
> Greater than
operand.
Checks whether the value of left operand is less than the right operand, if
< Less than
yes returns TRUE.
Greater than or Used to check if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right
>=
equal to operand, and returns TRUE, if the condition is true.
Less than or equal
<= Returns TRUE if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand.
to
Used to check if values of operands are equal or not. If they are not equal
<> or != Not equal to
then, it returns TRUE.
Checks whether the left operand is not greater than the right operand, if
!> Not greater than
yes then returns TRUE.
!< Not less than Returns TRUE, if the left operand is not less than the right operand.
