## SQL or Operator
|
|
|
|
You can use the `OR` operator in the `WHERE` clause of `SELECT` statement. You use it when you want to select a record that satisfies at least one of the conditions in your `OR` statement.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example that selects all records from the Person table who are either male or who have the name “Mary”:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT Id, Name, DateOfBirth, Gender
|
|
FROM Person
|
|
WHERE Gender = “M” OR Name = “Mary”
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can combine others operators in the `WHERE` clause (use parenthesis to indicate the order of operations) like in this example:
|
|
|
|
```sql
|
|
SELECT Id, Name, DateOfBirth, Gender
|
|
FROM Person
|
|
WHERE Gender = “M” AND (Name = “Peter” OR Name = “John”)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This example selects all records where Gender is "M" and Name is "Peter" as well as where Gender is "M" and Name is "John".
