可以使用 IN 子句代替许多 OR 条件。
要想理解 IN 子句,还以表 employee_tbl 为例,它的所有记录如下所示:
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)
现在,我们希望根据以上表格,显示出 daily_typing_pages 等于250、220和170这三个值的记录。利用 OR 条件实现如下:
mysql>SELECT * FROM employee_tbl
->WHERE daily_typing_pages= 250 OR
->daily_typing_pages= 220 OR daily_typing_pages= 170;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| 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 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
4 rows in set (0.02 sec)
同样的实现也可以用 IN子句 来完成:
