Queries

movie_title .

OR Operator

combined. Records matching either condition joined by SELECT name
the OR are included in the result set. The given query will FROM customers
match customers whose state is either 'CA' or 'NY' . WHERE state = 'CA'
OR state = 'NY';

% Wildcard

between the years 1980 and 1990, inclusive. WHERE year BETWEEN 1980 AND 1990;

to the speci ed number of rows. The given query will limit SELECT *
the result set to 5 rows. FROM movies
LIMIT 5;
NULL Values
Column values can be NULL , or have no value. These
records can be matched (or not matched) using the IS SELECT address
NULL and IS NOT NULL operators in combination with the FROM records
