The WHERE Clause Operators

SQL supports a lot of conditional statements.

Less Than

Let’s look at the examples:
This example lists all countries that have a population of less than 2424200:


              
123

            
SELECT name, population
FROM country
WHERE population < 2424200;
copy

Less Than or Equal to

The following example retrieves all countries with a population less than or equal to 2424200:


              
123

            
SELECT name, population
FROM country
WHERE population <= 2424200;
copy

Not Equal

The following example retrieves all non-Asian countries:


              
123

            
SELECT name, continent
FROM country
WHERE continent<>'Asia';
copy

Here is the country table we are working with:

Task

Swipe to start coding

Write an SQL query to retrieve the name, population, region, and capital columns from the country table (please retrieve these columns in this order), returning only the countries with a region named Southern Europe.
