AND — SQL Technical Interview Questions & Answers
AND
AND
- AND means both conditions true. WHERE marks >= 40 AND city = 'Pune'; Pune students who passed. If one side is false, the row is out.
- Chain: a AND b AND c. Mix with OR only with brackets.
- Trap: WHERE marks > 40 AND marks < 40 — empty on purpose. Trap: AND vs comma in English ‘students in Pune and Goa’ — that is OR for city, not AND.
- On the example next to this theory: AND — wHERE combines predicates with AND/OR; LIKE does pattern match.
Technical Interview Tip: WHERE marks >= 40 AND city = 'Pune';
