bookThe 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:
