SQL Comparision Operator

The Comparison Operator compares different data of the Structured Query Language table and checks whether the data are the same, less than, greater than, less than, or greater than equal. The SQL comparison query is used with the where clause to execute the queries.

We can use a comparison operator with the WHERE clause using the SELECT statement, the UPDATE statement, and the DELETE statement in the Structured Query Language.

There are several comparison operators which are used to perform on the records stored in the SQL table:

  1. SQL Equal Operator (=)
  2. SQL Not Equal Operator (! =)
  3. SQL Less than Operator (<)
  4. SQL Greater than Operator (>)
  5. SQL Less than Equals to Operator (<=)
  6. SQL Greater than Equals to Operator (>=)

Let’s take deep dive into the SQL COMPARISON OPERATOR

SQL Equal Operator

The Equal operator is a mostly used query in SQL queries. This operator displays those data only that matches specific criteria in the query.

Syntax to access data from the table using the EQUAL operator

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE column-name = value;

Syntax to update data from the table using the EQUAL operator

UPDATE TABLENAME SET column_name = value WHERE column_name = value;

Syntax to delete data from the table using the EQUAL operator

DELETE FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name = value;

Let's understand the below example, which explains how to execute Equal Operator in SQL query:

Consider the existing tables, which have the following records:

Example 1: Write a query to display the employee records from the employees’ table whose employee department is ‘Oracle’.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE DEPARTMENT = 'ORACLE';

From the above query, we are fetching the employee data from the employees' table where the employee department is equal to the oracle department.

Output:

As we can see in the output, only oracle department employees’ records are displayed.

Example 2: Write a query to display the employee records from the employees' table whose employee department is 'Oracle' or City is 'Pune'.

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE DEPARTMENT = 'ORACLE' OR CITY = 'PUNE';

From the above query, we are fetching the employee data from the employees' table where the employee department is equal to the oracle department or City is equal to Pune city. The first search will go for the Oracle department as records are done with the Oracle department, then the query will go for Pune city. Here we used multiple Equal operators using OR operator.

Output:

From the above query, we are fetching the employee data from the employees' table where employee city is equal to Pune city, and employee salary is 65500. Here we used multiple Equal operators using AND operator. AND the operator will return only those records whose both conditions are true.

UPDATE EMPLOYEES SET SALARY = 55500 WHERE DEPARTMENT = 'FMW';

We update the employee records from the above query from the employees' table whose department is FMW.

To cross-check whether the records are updated or not, we will run the SELECT statement.

SQL Not Equal Operator

The Equal Not Operator displays only those records whose values are not similar to the query's specified value.

SQL Not Equal operator returns those data from the table if the value doesn’t meet the criteria in the given query.

Syntax to access data from the table using the NOT EQUAL operator

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name != value;

Syntax to update data from the table using the NOT EQUAL operator

UPDATE TABLENAME SET column_name = value WHERE column_name != value;

Syntax to delete data from the table using the NOT EQUAL operator

DELETE FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name != value;

Let's understand the below example, which explains how to execute NOT Equal Operator in SQL query:

SQL Less Than Operator

This operator query displays only those records from the table which are less than from the right side of the SQL query.

The Less Than comparison operator checks in the query if the left-side value is lesser than the right-side value. If the condition meets the satisfied criteria, this operator displays the right side values.

Syntax to access data from the table using the LESS THAN operator

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name < value;

Syntax to update data from the table using the LESS THAN operator

UPDATE TABLENAME SET column_name = value WHERE column_name < value;

Syntax to delete data from the table using the LESS THAN operator

DELETE FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name < value;

SQL Comparison Operator

As we can see, only those records are displayed whose employee-manager id is less than equal to 2.

SQL Greater Than Operator

This operator query displays only those records from the table which are greater than from the right side of the SQL query.

The query's Greater Than comparison operator checks if the left-side value is greater than the right-side value. If the condition met the satisfied criteria, this operator displays those greater than the right-side values.

Syntax to access data from the table using the GREATER THAN operator

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name > value;

Syntax to update data from the table using the GREATER THAN operator

UPDATE TABLENAME SET column_name = value WHERE column_name > value;

Syntax to delete data from the table using the GREATER THAN to operator

DELETE FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name > value;

Let's understand the below example, which explains how to execute GREATER THAN Operator in SQL query:

Consider the existing tables, which have the following records:

SQL Comparison Operator

As we can see, only those records are displayed whose employee salary is greater than 60000.

SQL Greater Than Equals to Operator

This operator query displays only those records from the table greater than and Equal to the right-side in the SQL query.

The query checks the Greater Than Equal to comparison operator if the left-side value is greater than and Equal to the right-side value. If the condition meets the criteria, this operator displays those values greater than and Equal to the right-side values.

Syntax to access data from the table using the GREATER THAN EQUALS TO operator

SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name >= value;

Syntax to update data from the table using the GREATER THAN EQUALS TO operator

UPDATE TABLENAME SET column_name = value WHERE column_name >= value;

Syntax to delete data from the table using the GREATER THAN EQUALS TO operator

DELETE FROM TABLENAME WHERE column_name >= value;

Example 1: Write a query to display the employee records from the emp table whose employee salary is greater than equals to 60000.

SELECT * FROM EMP WHERE SALARY >= 60000;

From the above query, we are fetching the employees’ record from the emp table where employee salary is greater than equals to 60000.
