SQL OR Operator

The SQL 'OR' Operator is used to filter out the records based on the one or more columns. The WHERE clause can be combined with the OR operator. The SQL OR Operator displays records if any of the conditions that are separated by 'OR' are true.

SQL OR Operator syntax

The basic SQL OR operator syntax is as follows - 

SELECT column1, column2, ...  
 FROM table_name  
 WHERE condition1 OR condition2 OR condition3 ...; 

SQL OR Operator Examples 

The following 'emp' will be used for the examples - 

Id     Name     Age     Address     Salary  
 1     Akshay     22     Pune        40000  
 2     Mohit      21     Delhi       42000  
 3     Akash      21     Delhi       45000  
 4     Nikhil     24     Mumbai      50000  
 5     Smith      24     Pune        50000  
 6     Akshay     22     Pune        50000  
 7     Nikhil     24     Mumbai      43000  

The following SQL query will return records if Age is 22 or Address in Pune - 

SQL >> select * from emp  
       where Age = 22 or Address = 'Pune';  
 
Output >>  
 Id     Name     Age     Address     Salary  
 1     Akshay     22     Pune       40000  
 5     Smith      24     Pune       50000  
 6     Akshay     22     Pune       50000
