MySQL WHERE clause

The WHERE clause in MySQL is used to filter records in a query result set. It specifies a condition that must be satisfied in order for a row to be returned in the result set. The WHERE clause is used in various SQL statements such as SELECT, UPDATE, and DELETE.

Here’s a basic syntax of the WHERE clause in a SELECT statement:

The MYSQL where clause is the mechanism for selecting the row you want for your result set.

SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE condition;

The condition in the WHERE clause is a logical expression that evaluates to either TRUE or FALSE. If the condition evaluates to TRUE, the row is returned in the result set. If the condition evaluates to FALSE, the row is not returned in the result set.

Here’s an example that uses the WHERE clause to select all rows from the customers table where the country is ‘USA’:

SELECT *
FROM customers
WHERE country = 'USA';

In Select query expressions in WHERE clauses can use the following type of operation:

Arithmetic for calculation
Comparison for comparison of one expression with another expression.
Logical to combine different WHERE conditions.
