Syntax error MySQL BETWEEN without the beginning and endpoints?

MySQL BETWEEN without the beginning and endpoints?



If you do not want to include start and end value in between, then use the following syntax −

SELECT * FROM yourTableName WHERE yourColumnName BETWEEN yourStartingValue and yourEndingValue and
   yourColumnName not in (yourStartingValue , yourEndingValue );

To understand the above syntax, let us create a table. The query to create a table is as follows −

mysql> create table BetweenWithoutEndPoints
   -> (
   -> Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
   -> Name varchar(20),
   -> Age int,
   -> PRIMARY KEY(Id)
   -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.54 sec)

Now you can insert some records in the table using insert command. The query is as follows −

mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Mike',23);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)

mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Larry',25);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)

mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('David',28);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Sam',26);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)

mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Carol',21);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec)

mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('John',29);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)

mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('James',20);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.41 sec)

mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Robert',26);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)

mysql> insert into BetweenWithoutEndPoints(Name,Age) values('Michael',30);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement. The query is as follows −

mysql> select *from BetweenWithoutEndPoints;

The following is the output.

+----+---------+------+
| Id | Name    | Age  |
+----+---------+------+
| 1  | Mike    | 23   |
| 2  | Larry   | 25   |
| 3  | David   | 28   |
| 4  | Sam     | 26   |
| 5  | Carol   | 21   |
| 6  | John    | 29   |
| 7  | James   | 20   |
| 8  | Robert  | 26   |
| 9  | Michael | 30   |
+----+---------+------+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Here is the query of MySQL between without getting the starting and ending point. The below query does not include the 3 and 8:

mysql> select *from BetweenWithoutEndPoints
-> where Id between 3 and 8 and Id not in (3, 8);

The following is the output:

+----+-------+------+
| Id | Name  | Age  |
+----+-------+------+
| 4  | Sam   | 26   |
| 5  | Carol | 21   |
| 6  | John  | 29   |
| 7  | James | 20   |
+----+-------+------+
4 rows in set (0.04 sec)
