Use MySQL INTERVAL Function with a Column of a Table

We can use INTERVAL() function with a column of a table by providing the first argument as the name of the column. In this case, al the values in that column would be compared with the values given as the other arguments of INTERVAL() function and on that basis of comparison, the result set is provided. To understand it, the data from the employee table is used which is as follows −

mysql> Select* from employee568;
+----+--------+--------+
| ID | Name   | Salary |
+----+--------+--------+
| 1  | Gaurav | 50000  |
| 2  | Rahul  | 20000  |
| 3  | Advik  | 25000  |
| 4  | Aarav  | 65000  |
| 5  | Ram    | 20000  |
| 6  | Mohan  | 30000  |
| 7  | Aryan  |  NULL  |
| 8  | Vinay  |  NULL  |
+----+--------+--------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select * from employee WHERE INTERVAL(ID,4) > 0;
+----+-------+--------+
| ID | Name  | Salary |
+----+-------+--------+
| 4  | Aarav | 65000  |
| 5  | Ram   | 20000  |
| 6  | Mohan | 30000  |
| 7  | Aryan |  NULL  |
| 8  | Vinay |  NULL  |
+----+-------+--------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

The above result set has 5 rows of ID = 4 to 8 as the INTERVAL function has greater than 0 values for these rows.
