可以使用BETWEEN子句来代替组合“大于等于小于等于”条件。

要理解子句，考虑一个employee_tbl表有以下记录：

mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id   | name | work_date  | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
|    1 | John | 2007-01-24 |                250 |
|    2 | Ram  | 2007-05-27 |                220 |
|    3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 |                170 |
|    3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 |                100 |
|    4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 |                220 |
|    5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 |                300 |
|    5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 |                350 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

现在假定上表的基础上，想获取条件为daily_typing_pages大于等于170并小于等于300记录。这可以使用>=和<=条件如下：

mysql>SELECT * FROM employee_tbl 
    ->WHERE daily_typing_pages >= 170 AND
    ->daily_typing_pages <= 300;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id   | name | work_date  | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
|    1 | John | 2007-01-24 |                250 |
|    2 | Ram  | 2007-05-27 |                220 |
|    3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 |                170 |
|    4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 |                220 |
|    5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 |                300 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.03 sec)

同样可以使用 BETWEEN 子句来实现如下：

mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl 
    -> WHERE daily_typing_pages BETWEEN 170 AND 300; 
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id   | name | work_date  | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
|    1 | John | 2007-01-24 |                250 |
|    2 | Ram  | 2007-05-27 |                220 |
|    3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 |                170 |
|    4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 |                220 |
|    5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 |                300 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
