Compound search conditions in the WHERE clause


So far, you have seen equal (=) and less than (<) as comparison operators. Adaptive Server Anywhere also supports other comparison operators, such as greater than (>), greater than or equal (>=), less than or equal (<=), and not equal (<>).

These conditions can be combined using AND and OR to make more complicated search conditions.
