The OR keyword
Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's SQL journey — lesson 7 of 72.
The OR keyword means that we want one of the conditions to be true.
For example consider the following <b>people</b> table:
| name | age | gender |
|---|---|---|
| Joas | 13 | male |
| Holwa | 17 | male |
| Nohlas | 24 | female |
| Polar | 23 | male |
| Loopa | 18 | female |
SELECT *
FROM people
WHERE gender = 'female' OR age < 20This query means that we are looking for all records that either the gender is female or the age is less than 20.
This will be the result:
| name | age | gender |
|---|---|---|
| Joas | 13 | male |
| Holwa | 17 | male |
| Nohlas | 24 | female |
| Loopa | 18 | female |
