SQLite Between operator

Introduction

The SQLite BETWEEN operator tests an expression against a range. The range consists of a beginning, followed by an AND keyword and an end expression. The operator returns 1 when the search value present within the range otherwise returns 0.

Syntax:

SELECT [column_name... | expression ]
FROM [table_name]
WHERE [NOT] BETWEEN value_from AND value_to;

Parameters:

Name Description
column_name Name of the column of the table.
expression Expression made up of a single constant, variable, scalar function, or column name and can also be the pieces of an SQLite query that compare values against other values or perform arithmetic calculations.
table_name Name of the table.
value_from,value_to Starting value and ending value.

Example: SQLite Between operator

Sample table: agents


To get data of all columns from the 'agents' table with the following condition -

1. percentage of commission for the 'agents' should be within .12 to .14,

the following SQLite statement can be used :

SELECT agent_code, agent_name, commission 
FROM agents 
WHERE commission BETWEEN .12 AND .14;

Here is the result.

AGENT_CODE  AGENT_NAME                                COMMISSION
----------  ----------------------------------------  ----------
A003        Alex                                      0.13
A008        Alford                                    0.12
A010        Santakumar                                0.14
A012        Lucida                                    0.12
A005        Anderson                                  0.13
A001        Subbarao                                  0.14

Example : SQLite Between operator with IN

In the following example, we have discussed SQLite BETWEEN operator using IN operator in the select statement.

Sample table: customer


To get data of all columns from the 'customer' table with following conditions -

1. 'agent_code' must be within 'A003' and 'A008',

2. but 'agent_code' 'A004', 'A007' and 'A005' should not appear,

The following SQLite statement can be used:

SELECT agent_code, cust_code, cust_name, cust_city 
FROM customer 
WHERE (agent_code BETWEEN 'A003' AND 'A008')  
AND NOT agent_code IN ('A004','A007','A005');

Here is the result.

AGENT_CODE  CUST_CODE   CUST_NAME   CUST_CITY
----------  ----------  ----------  -----------------------------------
A003        C00013      Holmes      London
A008        C00001      Micheal     New York
A008        C00020      Albert      New York
A006        C00024      Cook        London
A003        C00015      Stuart      London
A008        C00002      Bolt        New York
A006        C00023      Karl        London

Example : SQLite Between operator with text value

In the following example, we have discussed SQLite BETWEEN operator using text value in the select statement.

Sample table: customer


To get data of 'cust_code', 'cust_name', 'cust_city', 'working_area' columns from the 'customer' table with following condition -

1.'cust_name' must begin with any of the letters between 'A' and 'I',

the following SQLite statement can be used:

SELECT cust_code, cust_name, cust_city, working_area 
FROM customer 
WHERE cust_name BETWEEN 'A' AND 'I';

Example : SQLite Between operator with NOT operator

In the following example, we have discussed SQLite BETWEEN operator using 'NOT' operator in a select statement.

Sample table: customer


To get data of 'cust_code', 'cust_name', 'cust_city', 'working_area' columns from the 'customer' table with following condition -

1. 'cust_name' must not begin with any of the letters  between 'K' and 'Y' ,

the following, SQLite statement can be used :

SELECT cust_code, cust_name, working_area 
FROM customer 
WHERE cust_name NOT BETWEEN 'K' AND 'Y';

Example: SQLite Between operator with NOT on date value

In the following we have discussed SQLite BETWEEN operator using boolean 'NOT' operator on date value in a select statement.

Sample table : orders


To get data of 'ord_num',  'ord_amount',  'advance_amount',  'ord_date', 'cust_code' and  'agent_code' from the 'orders' table with following condition -

1. 'ord_date' must be a date before '15-Feb-08' or after '30-Jul-08',

the following SQLites statement can be used :

SELECT ord_num, ord_amount, ord_date, cust_code, agent_code 
FROM orders 
WHERE ord_date NOT BETWEEN '2008-08-02' AND '2008-30-02';
