TECHNICAL TERMS
• Comparison operator – used to
identify the data to select and it is
mostly found in the WHeRE clause.
• Wildcard character - used in a string
to substitute other characters.
Comparison operators are used to compare
data with one another to test a single value.
There where clause practices comparison
operators to recognize specific rows in a table.
When used with the select statement, rows can be
selectively retrieved from a table instead of all
rows being retrieved from a table.
