SQL - BETWEEN Operator

The SQL BETWEEN Operator is used to specify a range in a WHERE clause of a SQL statement. It is a shorthand for >= AND <=. It is a inclusive operator and includes start and end value while specifying the range.

Syntax

The syntax for using BETWEEN operator is given below:

SELECT column1, column2, column3, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name BETWEEN value1 AND value2;

Example:

Consider a database containing a table called Employee with the following records:

• To select all records of the Employee table where Salary is between 2800 and 3000, the SQL code is given below.

  SELECT * FROM Employee
  WHERE Salary BETWEEN 2800 AND 3000;
  

  
  

  This will produce the result as shown below:

  EmpID	Name	City	Age	Salary
  1	John	London	25	3000
  3	Jo	Paris	27	2800
  5	Ramesh	New Delhi	28	3000
  6	Huang	Beijing	28	2800
