If you do not want to include the end value in between, then use the following syntax −
SELECT * FROM yourTableName WHERE yourColumnName BETWEEN yourStartingValue and yourEndingValue and yourColumnName not in (yourEndingValue );
To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −
mysql> create table BetweenWithoutEndPoints -> ( -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, -> Name varchar(20), -> Age int, -> PRIMARY KEY(Id) -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.54 sec)
Now you can insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −
mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Mike',23);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Larry',25);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('David',28);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Sam',26);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Carol',21);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)
mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('John',29);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('James',20);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.41 sec)
mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Robert',26);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Michael',30);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −
mysql> select *from BetweenWithoutEndPoints;
The following is the output:
+----+---------+------+ | Id | Name | Age | +----+---------+------+ | 1 | Mike | 23 | | 2 | Larry | 25 | | 3 | David | 28 | | 4 | Sam | 26 | | 5 | Carol | 21 | | 6 | John | 29 | | 7 | James | 20 | | 8 | Robert | 26 | | 9 | Michael | 30 | +----+---------+------+ 9 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query of MySQL between without getting the starting and ending point. The below query does not include the 3 and 8:
mysql> select *from BetweenWithoutEndPoints -> where Id between 3 and 8 and Id not in (3, 8);
The following is the output:
+----+-------+------+ | Id | Name | Age | +----+-------+------+ | 4 | Sam | 26 | | 5 | Carol | 21 | | 6 | John | 29 | | 7 | James | 20 | +----+-------+------+ 4 rows in set (0.04 sec)
If you do not want to include only ending point, then use the below query:
mysql> select *from BetweenWithoutEndPoints -> where Id between 3 and 8 and Id not in (8);
The following is the output:
+----+-------+------+ | Id | Name | Age | +----+-------+------+ | 3 | David | 28 | | 4 | Sam | 26 | | 5 | Carol | 21 | | 6 | John | 29 | | 7 | James | 20 | +----+-------+------+ 5 rows in set (0.03 sec)
