AND Operator Example

The “Persons” table:

P_Id	LastName	FirstName	Address	City
1	Hansen	Ola	Timoteivn 10	Sandnes
2	Svendson	Tove	Borgvn 23	Sandnes
3	Pettersen	Kari	Storgt 20	Stavanger

Now we want to select only the persons with the first name equal to “Tove” AND the last name equal to “Svendson”:

We use the following SELECT statement:

SELECT * FROM Persons WHERE FirstName=’Tove’ AND LastName=’Svendson’

The result-set will look like this:

P_Id	LastName	FirstName	Address	City
2	Svendson	Tove	Borgvn 23	Sandnes
