BETWEEN : BETWEEN « PL SQL Operators « Oracle PL/SQL Tutorial

1. Oracle PL/SQL Tutorial
2. PL SQL Operators
3. BETWEEN

The BETWEEN operator tests to see if a value falls within a given range of values.

The Syntax for BETWEEN:

the_value [NOT] BETWEEN low_end AND high_end

1. the_value is the value you are testing,
2. low_end represents the low end of the range,
3. high_end represents the high end of the range.

True is returned if the_value is greater than or equal to the low end of the range and less than or equal to the high end of the range.

The equivalent expression would look like this:

(the_value >= low_end) AND (the_value <= high_end)
