SQL BETWEEN Operator

by

The SQL Between Operator displays the records (or rows) whose values are in between the given values.

For example, If you want to find the Sales between 18 May 2015 to 19 June 2015 or If you want the Amazon website to display the products whose price range between 1000 to 2500 then, internally we have to use this SQL Between operator.

SQL Between Operator Syntax

The basic syntax of the Between operator in SQL Server can be written as:

-- SQL Server Between Operator Syntax
SELECT [Column Names]
FROM [Source]
WHERE [Column Name] BETWEEN Value1 AND Value2

--We can also write the above statement
SELECT [Column Names]
FROM [Source]
WHERE [Column Name] >= Value1 AND
      [Column Name] <= Value2
  • Columns: It allows us to choose the number of columns from the tables. It may be One or more.
  • Source: One or more tables present in the Database. SQL JOINs are used to join multiple table.
  • Values: Here we have to provide the values or expression we want to check against the Column Name. Select Statement will display the records present in between the Value1 and Value2 Including them.
