SQL BETWEEN Command to fetch records from a range


Many times we may require to find out records between a range of value.  We can specify one upper limit and one lower limit and the query should return all the records between these two values. The sql BETWEEN command will give us the required result in all these cases.    We will apply here BETWEEN command to a numeric field and see how the records are returned from a Mysql table. Here is our table.



id name class mark
1 John Deo Four 75
2 Max Ruin Three 85
3 Arnold Three 55
4 Krish Star Four 60
5 John Mike Four 60
6 Alex John Four 55
 
On this table we will apply our BETWEEN command to get all the  records within some upper and lower limits. Say our upper limit is 75 and lower limit is 60. So we will get all the records within these limits and please note that limit 60 and 75 both are inclusive. Here is our sql BETWEEN command.


SELECT * FROM `student` WHERE mark BETWEEN 60 and 75

id name class mark
1 John Deo Four 75
4 Krish Star Four 60
5 John Mike Four 60

You can see we have all the records between 60 and 75 ( both inclusive). Please note that we have to first start with lower limit and then upper limit. So the records between 60 and 75 will be displayed ( NOT BETWEEN 75 and 60 )
