BETWEEN 子句可以代替“大于等于XX,并且小于等于XX”这样的条件。
为了理解 BETWEEN 子句,依旧来看 employee_tbl 这个例子,它的所有记录如下:
mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 |
| 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 |
| 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 |
| 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 |
| 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 |
| 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 |
| 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
假设要从上表中获取 daily_typing_pages 大于或等于170,小于或等于300的数据。可以利用 >= 与 <= 条件来实现。
mysql>SELECT * FROM employee_tbl
->WHERE daily_typing_pages >= 170 AND
->daily_typing_pages <= 300;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 |
| 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 |
| 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 |
| 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 |
| 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.03 sec)
用 BETWEEN 实现起来就简单多了,如下所示:
