SQL WHERE AND, OR, NOT Clause [SQL Operators]

The SQL “NOT” clause is used with “WHERE” conditions.

The “AND”, “OR” and “NOT” operators are used to test two or more conditions in a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE statements.

The “WHERE” clause with “AND” operator requires that two conditions are true and an “OR” requires that one of two conditions is true and the “NOT” negates the specified condition.
