Let's Try Something!

Condition 2

AND

BOTH SIDES MUST BE TRUE

Condition 2

OR

ONLY ONE SIDE MUST BE TRUE

BETWEEN

Before we see BETWEEN...

How can we accomplish the same thing using what we already know?

Select all books published between 2004 and 2015

SELECT title, released_year FROM 
books WHERE released_year >= 2004 AND
released_year <= 2015;

USE LOGICAL AND!

Or...Use BETWEEN 

SELECT title, released_year FROM books 
WHERE released_year BETWEEN 2004 AND 2015;

BETWEEN x AND y

BETWEEN

NOT

Is Also A Thing

SELECT title, released_year FROM books 
WHERE released_year NOT BETWEEN 2004 AND 2015;

NOT BETWEEN x AND y

IN

OR...

OR...

We Can Already Do This

SELECT title, author_lname FROM books
WHERE author_lname='Carver' OR
      author_lname='Lahiri' OR
      author_lname='Smith';

IN makes it much easier

SO MUCH SHORTER!

SELECT title, author_lname FROM books
WHERE author_lname IN ('Carver', 'Lahiri', 'Smith');

IN

NOT

I'm really superstitious and have a problem with even numbers...

(I'm not actually, I promise)

Select all books not published in

  • 2000,
  • 2002,
  • 2004,
  • 2006,
  • 2008,
  • 2010,
  • 2012,
  • 2014,
  • 2016
SELECT title, released_year FROM books
WHERE released_year != 2000 AND
      released_year != 2002 AND
      released_year != 2004 AND
      released_year != 2006 AND
      released_year != 2008 AND
      released_year != 2010 AND
      released_year != 2012 AND
      released_year != 2014 AND
      released_year != 2016;

Well...that was fun to type

There's a better way!

SELECT title, released_year FROM books
WHERE released_year NOT IN 
(2000,2002,2004,2006,2008,2010,2012,2014,2016);

Taking It To The Next Level!

I only want books released after 2000

SELECT title, released_year FROM books
WHERE released_year >= 2000
AND released_year NOT IN 
(2000,2002,2004,2006,2008,2010,2012,2014,2016);

Theres still a better way

It doesn't use IN or NOT IN

%

SELECT title, released_year FROM books
WHERE released_year >= 2000 AND
released_year % 2 != 0;

SELECT 1 IN (5,3) OR 9 BETWEEN 8 AND 10;

Select All Books Written Before 1980 (non inclusive)
