Syntax error Can we fetch multiple values with MySQL WHERE Clause?

Can we fetch multiple values with MySQL WHERE Clause?



Yes, we can fetch, but use MySQL OR for conditions. Let us first create a −

mysql> create table DemoTable1421
   -> (
   -> EmployeeId int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
   -> EmployeeName varchar(20),
   -> EmployeeSalary int
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.82 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert −

mysql> insert into DemoTable1421(EmployeeName,EmployeeSalary) values('Chris',10000);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1421(EmployeeName,EmployeeSalary) values('Bob',15000);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1421(EmployeeName,EmployeeSalary) values('David',8000);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1421(EmployeeName,EmployeeSalary) values('Carol',8500);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.39 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable1421(EmployeeName,EmployeeSalary) values('Mike',14500);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

Display all records from the table using select −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1421;

This will produce the following output −

+------------+--------------+----------------+
| EmployeeId | EmployeeName | EmployeeSalary |
+------------+--------------+----------------+
|          1 | Chris       |           10000 |
|          2 | Bob         |           15000 |
|          3 | David       |            8000 |
|          4 | Carol       |            8500 |
|          5 | Mike        |           14500 |
+------------+--------------+----------------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query to fetch multiple values with OR −

mysql> select * from DemoTable1421 where EmployeeId=1 OR EmployeeName='David' OR EmployeeSalary=14500;

This will produce the following output −

+------------+--------------+----------------+
| EmployeeId | EmployeeName | EmployeeSalary |
+------------+--------------+----------------+
|          1 | Chris        |          10000 |
|          3 | David        |           8000 |
|          5 | Mike         |          14500 |
+------------+--------------+----------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
