Example
NOT
Returns TRUE if the following condition is FALSE. Returns FALSE if it is TRUE. If it is UNKNOWN, it remains UNKNOWN.
SELECT * FROM emp WHERE NOT (job IS NULL)
SELECT * FROM emp WHERE NOT (sal BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000)
AND
Returns TRUE if both component conditions are TRUE. Returns FALSE if either is FALSE; otherwise, returns UNKNOWN.
SELECT * FROM emp WHERE job = 'CLERK' AND deptno = 10
OR
Returns TRUE if either component condition is TRUE. Returns FALSE if both are FALSE; otherwise, returns UNKNOWN.
SELECT * FROM emp WHERE job = 'CLERK' OR deptno = 10
Example
In the Where clause of the following Select statement, the AND logical operator is used to ensure that managers earning more than $1000 a month are returned in the result:
SELECT * FROM emp WHERE jobtitle = manager AND sal > 1000
