Operatore di confronto SQL

L'operatore di confronto confronta diversi dati della tabella Structured Query Language e controlla se i dati sono uguali, minori di, maggiori di, minori o maggiori di uguali. La query di confronto SQL viene utilizzata con la clausola where per eseguire le query.

Possiamo utilizzare un operatore di confronto con la clausola WHERE utilizzando l'istruzione SELECT, l'istruzione UPDATE e l'istruzione DELETE nel linguaggio di query strutturato.

Esistono diversi operatori di confronto che vengono utilizzati per eseguire i record archiviati nella tabella SQL:

1. Operatore SQL uguale (=)
2. Operatore SQL non uguale (! =)
3. SQL meno di Operatore (<)
4. SQL maggiore di Operatore (>)
5. SQL minore di uguale a Operatore (<=)
6. SQL maggiore di uguale a Operatore (>=)

Diamo un'occhiata a SQL COMPARISON OPERATOR

Operatore SQL uguale

L'operatore Uguale è una query utilizzata principalmente nelle query SQL. Questo operatore visualizza solo i dati che corrispondono a criteri specifici nella query.

Sintassi per accedere ai dati dalla tabella utilizzando l'operatore EQUAL

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE column-name = value;

Sintassi per aggiornare i dati dalla tabella utilizzando l'operatore EQUAL

UPDATE TABLENAME SET column_name = value WHERE column_name = value;

Sintassi per eliminare i dati dalla tabella utilizzando l'operatore EQUAL

DELETE FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name = value;

Comprendiamo l'esempio seguente, che spiega come eseguire Equal Operator nella query SQL:

Considera le tabelle esistenti, che hanno i seguenti record:

Tabella:Dipendenti

Esempio 1: Scrivi una query per visualizzare i record dei dipendenti dalla tabella dei dipendenti il ​​cui reparto dipendenti è "Oracle".

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE DEPARTMENT = 'ORACLE';

Dalla query precedente, stiamo recuperando i dati dei dipendenti dalla tabella dei dipendenti in cui il dipartimento dei dipendenti è uguale al dipartimento di Oracle.

Risultato:

As we can see in the output, only oracle department employees’ records are displayed.

Esempio 2: Write a query to display the employee records from the employees' table whose employee department is 'Oracle' or City is 'Pune'.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE DEPARTMENT = 'ORACLE' OR CITY = 'PUNE';

From the above query, we are fetching the employee data from the employees' table where the employee department is equal to the oracle department or City is equal to Pune city. The first search will go for the Oracle department as records are done with the Oracle department, then the query will go for Pune city. Here we used multiple Equal operators using OR operator.

Risultato:

As we can see in the output, only oracle department employees' or Pune city records are displayed.

Esempio 3: Write a query to display the employee records from the employees' table whose City is 'Pune' and Salary is 65500.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE CITY ='PUNE'AND SALARY =65500;

From the above query, we are fetching the employee data from the employees' table where employee city is equal to Pune city, and employee salary is 65500. Here we used multiple Equal operators using AND operator. AND the operator will return only those records whose both conditions are true.

Risultato:

As we can see in the output, only Pune city and 65500 salary records are displayed.

Esempio 4: Write a query to update the employee records from the employees’ table whose employee department is ‘FMW’.

UPDATE EMPLOYEES SET SALARY = 55500 WHERE DEPARTMENT = 'FMW';

We update the employee records from the above query from the employees' table whose department is FMW.

To cross-check whether the records are updated or not, we will run the SELECT statement.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE DEPARTMENT = 'FMW';

As we can see, the records are updated successfully; whose department name is FMW.

Esempio 5: Write a query to update the employee records from the employees' table whose employee city is 'Pune' and the department is 'Java'.

UPDATE EMPLOYEES SET SALARY = 60000 WHERE CITY = 'PUNE' AND DEPARTMENT = 'JAVA';

From the above query, we update the employee records from the employees' table whose CityCity is Pune and department is Java.

To cross-check whether the records are updated or not, we will run the SELECT statement.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE CITY = 'PUNE' AND DEPARTMENT = 'JAVA';

Esempio 6: Write a query to delete the employee records from the employees’ table whose employee id is 5001.

DELETE FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE EMPLOYEEID = 5001;

From the above query, we are deleting the employee records from the employees’ table whose employee id is 5001.

To cross-check whether the record is deleted or not, we will run the SELECT statement.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES;

As we can see, the record of employee id 5001 is deleted successfully.

SQL Not Equal Operator

The Equal Not Operator displays only those records whose values are not similar to the query's specified value.

SQL Not Equal operator returns those data from the table if the value doesn’t meet the criteria in the given query.

Syntax to access data from the table using the NOT EQUAL operator

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name != value;

Syntax to update data from the table using the NOT EQUAL operator

UPDATE TABLENAME SET column_name = value WHERE column_name != value;

Syntax to delete data from the table using the NOT EQUAL operator

DELETE FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name != value;

Let's understand the below example, which explains how to execute NOT Equal Operator in SQL query:

Consider the existing tables, which have the following records:

Table:Employees

Esempio 1: Write a query to display the employee records from the employees’ table whose employee salary is not equal to 55500.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE SALARY != 55500;

From the above query, we are fetching the employee data from the employees' table where the employee salary is not equal to 55500.

Risultato:

As we can see in the output, only those records are displayed whose Salary is not equal to 55500.

Esempio 2: Write a query to display the employee records from the employees’ table whose employee city is not equal to Pune or department is not equal to FMW.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE CITY != 'PUNE' AND DEPARTMENT != 'FMW';

From the above query, we are fetching the employee data from the employees’ table where employee city is not equal to Pune and Department is not equal to FMW.

Risultato:

As we can see in the output, only those records are displayed whose employee city is not equal to Pune and Department is not equal to FMW.

Esempio 3: Write a query to update the employee records from the employees’ table whose employee city is not equal to ‘Mumbai’ and department is not equal to 'Oracle’.

UPDATE EMPLOYEES SET SALARY = SALARY * 1.2 WHERE CITY != 'MUMBAI' AND DEPARTMENT != 'ORACLE';

From the above query, we are updating the employee records from the employees' table whose City is not equal to Mumbai and department is not equal to Oracle.

To cross-check whether the records are updated or not, we will run the SELECT statement.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE CITY != 'MUMBAI' AND DEPARTMENT != 'ORACLE';

As we can see, the records are updated successfully, whose CityCity is not equal to Mumbai and the department is not equal to Oracle.

Esempio 4: Write a query to delete the employee records from the employees’ table whose employee city is not equal to ‘Pune’ and Manager Id is not equal to 2.

DELETE FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE CITY != 'PUNE' OR MANAGERID != 2;

From the above query, we are deleting the employee records from the employees’ table whose CityCity is not equal to 'Pune' or Manager id is not equal to 2.

To cross-check whether the record is deleted or not, we will run the SELECT statement.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES;

As we can see, the employee records whose CityCity is not equal to Pune or manager id is not equal to 2 are deleted successfully.

SQL Less Than Operator

This operator query displays only those records from the table which are less than from the right side of the SQL query.

The Less Than comparison operator checks in the query if the left-side value is lesser than the right-side value. If the condition meets the satisfied criteria, this operator displays the right side values.

Syntax to access data from the table using the LESS THAN operator

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name < value;

Syntax to update data from the table using the LESS THAN operator

UPDATE TABLENAME SET column_name = value WHERE column_name < value;

Syntax to delete data from the table using the LESS THAN operator

DELETE FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name < value;

Let's understand the below example, which explains how to execute LESS THAN Operator in SQL query:

Consider the existing tables, which have the following records:

Table:Emp

Esempio 1: Write a query to display the employee records from the emp table whose employee salary is less than 55500.

SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE SALARY < 55500;

From the above query, we fetched the employees' record from the emp table where employee salary is less than 55500.

Risultato:

As we can see, only those records are displayed whose employee salary is less than 55500.

Esempio 2: Write a query to display the employee records from the emp table whose employee-manager id is less than 3.

SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE MANAGERId < 3;

From the above query, we are fetching the employees' records from the emp table where the employee-manager id is less than 3.

Risultato:

As we can see, only those records are displayed whose employee-manager id is less than 3.

SQL Less Than Equals to Operator

Less Than Equals to operator query displays only those data from the table which are less than and Equal to the right-side in the SQL query.

The Less Than Equal to comparison operator check in the query if the left-side value is lesser than an Equal to the right-side value. If the condition meets the satisfied criteria, this operator displays those lesser than and Equal to the right side values.

Syntax to access data from the table using the LESS THAN EQUALS to the operator

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name <= value;

Syntax to update data from the table using the LESS THAN EQUALS to the operator

UPDATE TABLENAME SET column_name = value WHERE column_name <= value;

Syntax to delete data from the table using the LESS THAN EQUALS to the operator

DELETE FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name <= value;

Let's understand the below example, which explains how to execute LESS THAN EQUALS to Operator in SQL query:

Consider the existing tables, which have the following records:

Table:Emp

Esempio 1: Write a query to display the employee records from the emp table whose employee salary is less than equals to 58000.

SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE SALARY <= 58000;

From the above query, we are fetching the employees' records from the emp table where employee salary is less than equal to 58000.

SQL Greater Than Operator

This operator query displays only those records from the table which are greater than from the right side of the SQL query.

The query's Greater Than comparison operator checks if the left-side value is greater than the right-side value. If the condition met the satisfied criteria, this operator displays those greater than the right-side values.

Syntax to access data from the table using the GREATER THAN operator

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name > value;

Syntax to update data from the table using the GREATER THAN operator

UPDATE TABLENAME SET column_name = value WHERE column_name > value;
