AND Condition in Oracle SQL – PLSQL

October 23, 2012 by techhoneyadmin

The AND condition in Oracle SQL / PLSQL allows us to filter the records from the result of a query based on 2 or more than 2 conditions.
AND condition can be used with SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements.

Syntax for the AND condition in Oracle SQL / PLSQL is:

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE condition1
AND condition2
AND condition3
.
.
AND conditionN;

Or

INSERT INTO table_name
VALUES(column_name1
,colum_name2
,column_name3
.
.
Column_nameN)
WHERE condition1
AND condition2
AND condition3
.
.
AND conditionN;

Or

UPDATE table_name
SET (column_name1 = value/expression
,column_name2 = value/expression
, column_name3 = value/expression
.
.
)
WHERE condition1
AND condition2
AND condition3
.
.
AND conditionN;

Or

DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE condition1
AND condition2
AND condition3
.
.
AND conditionN;

Let’s take an example for understanding:
Suppose have a table named ‘employee’ in the database as shown below.

Employee_ID Employee_Name Salary Department Commission
101 Emp A 10000 Sales 10
102 Emp B 20000 IT 20
103 Emp C 28000 IT 20
104 Emp D 30000 Support
105 Emp E 32000 Sales 10

Scenario 1:

Suppose we want to see the records of employee having Salary more than ‘20000’ and is working in the ‘Sales’ department then we can achieve the same using AND condition as follows:

SELECT *
FROM employee
WHERE department = 'Sales'
AND   salary > 20000;

The result of the above query will be:

Employee_ID Employee_Name Salary Department Commission
105 Emp E 32000 Sales 10

Here we have retrieved the records pertaining to employee having Salary more than ‘20000’ and is working in the ‘Sales’ department using AND condition along with WHERE clause.


Scenario 2:

We can use multiple AND conditions in a query.
Let’s assume that we have a new table namely ‘employee’ as shown below:

Employee_ID Employee_Name Salary Department Commission
101 Emp A 10000 Sales 10
102 Emp B 20000 IT 20
103 Emp C 28000 IT 20
104 Emp D 30000 Support
105 Emp E 32000 Sales 10

Suppose we want to view all the records of an employee who is having Salary greater than 30000, is working in Sales department and having commission less than 20.

We can achieve the same as:

SELECT *
FROM employee
WHERE department = 'Sales'
AND   salary     > 30000
AND   commission < 20;

Once we have run the above code following will be the result:

Employee_ID Employee_Name Salary Department Commission
105 Emp E 32000 Sales 10

Here we have successfully retrieved the records pertaining to an employee who is having Salary greater than ‘30000’, is working in ‘Sales’ department and having commission less than ’20’ using AND clause in combination with WHERE clause.
