Basic Logical Operators
Operator Meaning
AND TRUE if both Boolean expressions are
TRUE
BETWEEN TRUE if the operand is within a range
IN TRUE if the operand is equal to one of a
list of expressions
LIKE TRUE if the operand matches a pattern
NOT Reverses the value of any other Boolean
operator
OR TRUE if either Boolean expression is TRUE

Example – AND Operator
Product ID City ID Month ID Sales Quantity Sales Value
1 1 201512 100 8,000.00
1 2 201605 33 5,640.00
1 6 201511 600 7,590.00
1 7 201603 55 3,433.00
1 9 201601 659 9,432.00
2 5 201602 110 8,999.00
2 12 201602 785 8,324.00
Sales for Product ID 1 in January 2016: Where Product ID=1 and Month ID=201601
1 9 201601 659 9,432.00

Example – AND Operator
True/False
Q: Write a query to fetch the Sales Person details for

Territory 4 having commission percent of 1.5
A: Select * from Sales.SalesPerson where Territory ID =4

AND1 commission pct = 0.015
1 And operator, returns true if both the conditions are met. Therefore the query will only retrieve rows
where Territory ID = 4 and commission pct = 0.015. It is used when there is a need to filter data based
on multiple conditions
Example – OR Operator
1 1 201512 100 8,000.00
1 2 201605 33 5,640.00

2 5 201602 110 8,999.00
2 12 201602 785 8,324.00
Fetch Sales if Volume>=650 or Value>=8500: Where Sales Quantity>=650 or Sales Value>=8500

1 1 201512 100 8,000.00
1 9 201601 659 9,432.00
2 5 201602 110 8,999.00

multiple conditions

1 1 201512 100 8,000.00
1 2 201605 33 5,640.00
1 6 201511 600 7,590.00

1 AR-5381 Adjustable Race Black
2 BA-8327 Bearing Ball Silver
3 BE-2349 BB Ball Bearing Grey
4 BE-2908 Headset Ball Bearings Black

Product ID Product Code Product Description Color

2 BA-8327 Bearing Ball Silver

Example – LIKE Operator
Match Pattern – Regular/
Expression Wildcard characters
Q: W ite a ue y to fetch Bea i g Ball P oduct f o

Products table
A: Select * from Production.Product where Name LIKE1

Bea i g Ball
Wait a second!! We could have used = operator here for

the same result. So why Like operator?
1 Like operator, returns true if match expression value matches with the Pattern
Wildcard Characters
Power of Like operator is with wildcard characters
Q: W ite a ue y to fetch p oducts that ha e Bea i g i

its Name
A: Select * from Production.Product where Name like

%Bea i g% 1
1 % wildcard, refers to string of 0 or more characters. In this case, it refers to any character before
Bearing and any character after Bearing
Wildcard Characters
Character Meaning
% Refers to string of zero or more
characters
– Refers to single character
[] Refers to single character within the

specified range or set. Example:- [f:g]
or [xyz]
[^] Reverse of []. Single character not within

the specified range or set
Example:- [^f-g] or [^xyz]

Examples
Q: Write a query to fetch Address information from

Address table where State Province ID is 3 digits and end
with 5
A: Select * from Person.Address where StateProvinceID

like __1
1 _ used to match single character, in this case we have used two _ to match 2 single characters
Examples
Q: Write a query to fetch Address information from

Address table where Postal Code ends with either 2 or 6
A: Select * from Person.Address where PostalCode like

%1[2 ]
1 % used for string match of any length and [] used to match single character within the set ,i.e.: 2 and 6
