How to select a row where one of several columns equals a certain value in MySQL?
For this, you can use multiple OR. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, FirstName varchar(10), LastName varchar(10), Age int, CountryName varchar(10) ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.58 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName,LastName,Age,CountryName)
values('John','Smith',21,'US');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName,LastName,Age,CountryName)
values('Carol','Taylor',22,'AUS');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable(FirstName,LastName,Age,CountryName)
values('David','Miller',19,'UK');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
Output
+----+-----------+----------+------+-------------+ | Id | FirstName | LastName | Age | CountryName | +----+-----------+----------+------+-------------+ | 1 | John | Smith | 21 | US | | 2 | Carol | Taylor | 22 | AUS | | 3 | David | Miller | 19 | UK | +----+-----------+----------+------+-------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to select a row where one of several columns equals a certain value −
mysql> select *from DemoTable where FirstName="Carol" OR Age=22 OR CountryName="AUS";
Output
+----+-----------+----------+------+-------------+ | Id | FirstName | LastName | Age | CountryName | +----+-----------+----------+------+-------------+ | 2 | Carol | Taylor | 22 | AUS | +----+-----------+----------+------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
