Relational Operators
Syntax
<expression1> operator <expression2>
See Also
INSERT, SQL OPERATORS, SELECT, UPDATE
Description
Relational Operators compare two expressions and evaluate to either True or False.
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
| = | True if <expression1> and <expression2> are equal, otherwise False |
| < | True if <expression1> is less than <expression2>, otherwise False |
| <= | True if <expression1> is less than or equal to <expression2>, otherwise False |
| > | True if <expression1> is greater than the <expression2>, otherwise False |
| >= | True if <expression1> is greater than or equal to <expression2>, otherwise False |
| <> | True if <expression1> and <expression2> are not equal, otherwise False |
| != | True if <expression1> and <expression2> are not equal, otherwise False |
| # | True if <expression1> and <expression2> are not equal, otherwise False |
| $ | True if <expression1> is a sub string of <expression2>. Both <expression1> and <expression2>must be character strings. |
| | | True if <expression2> is a sub string of <expression1>. Both <expression1> and <expression2>must be character strings. |
| == | True if <expression1> and <expression2> match, otherwise False. Both <expression1> and <expression2>must be character strings. The <expression2> can contain the wildcards below. |
Wildcards for == pattern matching:
| Operator | Description |
|---|---|
| _ | Any single character |
| % | Zero or more characters |
Example
SELECT name, address, balance, cost*1.15; FROM accounts; WHERE paid_date = date(); ORDER BY name, paid_date SELECT name, address, balance, cost*1.15; FROM accounts; WHERE paid_date <= date(); ORDER BY name, paid_date SELECT name, address, balance, cost*1.15; FROM accounts; WHERE paid_date <> date(); ORDER BY name, paid_date SELECT name, address, balance, cost*1.15; FROM accounts; WHERE name == "%inc%"; ORDER BY name, paid_date SELECT name, address, balance, cost*1.15; FROM accounts; WHERE name | "inc"; ORDER BY name, paid_date SELECT name, address, balance, cost*1.15; FROM accounts; WHERE name $ "BigCo inc, BigCo plc"; ORDER BY name, paid_date
