The AND operator displays a record if all the conditions separated by AND are
TRUE.
The OR operator displays a record if any of the conditions separated by OR is
TRUE.

The NOT operator displays a record if the condition(s) is NOT TRUE.

AND Syntax

SELECT column1, column2, ...

FROM table_name
WHERE condition1 AND condition2 AND condition3 ...;
