Between operator in SQL Server

The BETWEEN operator in SQL Server is used to specify a range of values in a WHERE clause. It returns true if the value being tested is within the specified range. The BETWEEN operator selects values within a given range. The values can be numbers, text, or dates. The BETWEEN operator is inclusive: begin and end values are included.

Here is an example of how to use the BETWEEN operator in SQL Server:

Syntax: -

SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name BETWEEN value1 AND value2;

The BETWEEN operator can be used with numeric, date, and string values. For example, the following SQL statement selects all products with a price between 10 and 20:

SELECT * FROM Products
WHERE Price BETWEEN 10 AND 20;

For example,

  1. The following SQL statement selects all products with a price between 10 and 20:

SELECT * FROM Products
WHERE Price BETWEEN 10 AND 20;

  • To display the products outside the range of the previous example, use NOT BETWEEN:

SELECT * FROM Products
WHERE Price NOT BETWEEN 10 AND 20;

  • The following SQL statement selects all products with a price between 10 and 20. In addition; do not show products with a CategoryID of 1,2, or 3:

SELECT * FROM Products
WHERE Price BETWEEN 10 AND 20 AND CategoryID NOT IN (1,2,3);

  • The following SQL statement selects all products with a ProductName between Carnarvon Tigers and Mozzarella di Giovanni:

SELECT * FROM Products
WHERE ProductName BETWEEN ‘Carnarvon Tigers’ AND ‘Mozzarella di Giovanni’
ORDER BY ProductName;

  • The following SQL statement selects all products with a ProductName between Carnarvon Tigers and Chef Anton’s Cajun Seasoning:

SELECT * FROM Products
WHERE ProductName BETWEEN “Carnarvon Tigers” AND “Chef Anton’s Cajun Seasoning”
ORDER BY ProductName;

  • The following SQL statement selects all products with a ProductName not between Carnarvon Tigers and Mozzarella di Giovanni:

SELECT * FROM Products
WHERE ProductName NOT BETWEEN ‘Carnarvon Tigers’ AND ‘Mozzarella di Giovanni’
ORDER BY ProductName;

  • The following SQL statement selects all orders with an OrderDate between ’01-July-1996′ and ’31-July-1996′:

SELECT * FROM Orders
WHERE OrderDate BETWEEN #07/01/1996# AND #07/31/1996#;

OR

SELECT * FROM Orders
WHERE OrderDate BETWEEN ‘1996-07-01’ AND ‘1996-07-31’;
