Demo Database

This is demo example from the "Developers" table in the database:

SQL AND & OR: Examples

In this example, we select all developers from the country "India" AND the city "Delhi", in the "Developers" table:

SELECT * FROM Developers
WHERE Country='India' AND City='Delhi';

In this example, we select all developers from the city "London" OR "Paris", in the "Developers" table:

SELECT * FROM Developers
WHERE City='London' OR City='Paris';

In this example, we select all developers from the country "USA" AND the city must be equal to "New York" OR "Berlin", in the "Developers" table:

SELECT * FROM Developers
WHERE Country='USA' AND (City='New York' OR City='Miami');
