 WHERE clause:
The WHERE clause in SQL is used to filter records from a table based on specified conditions.
It allows users to retrieve only those rows that meet certain criteria, reducing the amount of
data retrieved and making queries more efficient.

SYNTAX: SELECT column1, column2, ...


FROM table_name
WHERE search_condition;

The search_condition is a combination of one or more expressions using the comparison


operator and logical operator. The SELECT statement will include any row that satisfies the
search_condition in the result set.

When executing a SELECT statement with a WHERE clause, MySQL evaluates the WHERE
clause after the FROM clause and before the SELECT clauses:

 WHERE Statement with Comparison Operators:


The following comparison operators can be used in the where clause to make the search
condition:

Comparison Operators
= Equal to
> Greater than
< Less than
>= Greater than or equal to
<= Less than or equal to
<> Not equal to

Example Statements:

mysql> SELECT * FROM shipment WHERE destination = "London";

mysql> SELECT * FROM shipment WHERE destination <> "London";
