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:

nameagegender
Joas13male
Holwa17male
Nohlas24female
Polar23male
Loopa18female
SELECT * 
FROM people
WHERE gender = 'female' OR age < 20

This 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:

nameagegender
Joas13male
Holwa17male
Nohlas24female
Loopa18female
