The usual logical operators are AND, OR, and NOT.
SQL uses a three-valued Boolean logic where the null value represents "unknown". For more information, see the following truth tables.
a | b | a AND b | a OR b |
---|---|---|---|
True | True | True | True |
True | False | False | True |
True | Null | Null | True |
False | False | False | False |
False | Null | False | Null |
Null | Null | Null | Null |
a | NOT a |
---|---|
True | False |
False | True |
Null | Null |
The operators AND and OR are commutative. You can switch the left and right operand without affecting the result.
