可以使用IN子句来代替相结合的“大于等于和小于等于”的条件。

要了解BETWEEN 子句考虑的EMPLOYEE_TBL表有以下记录：

mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl;+------+------+------------+--------------------+| id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |+------+------+------------+--------------------+| 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 || 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 || 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 || 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 || 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 || 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 || 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 |+------+------+------------+--------------------+7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

现在，假设根据上表想获取记录条件daily_typing_pages超过170，等于和小于300。这可以使用如下条件>=和<=

mysql>SELECT * FROM employee_tbl ->WHERE daily_typing_pages >= 170 AND ->daily_typing_pages <= 300;+------+------+------------+--------------------+| id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |+------+------+------------+--------------------+| 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 || 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 || 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 || 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 || 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 |+------+------+------------+--------------------+5 rows in set (0.03 sec)

同样可以实现使用BETWEEN子句如下：

mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl -> WHERE daily_typing_pages BETWEEN 170 AND 300; +------+------+------------+--------------------+| id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |+------+------+------------+--------------------+| 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 || 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 || 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 || 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 || 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 |+------+------+------------+--------------------+5 rows in set (0.03 sec)
