Syntax for SQL Where

For example, to select all stores with sales above $1,000 in Table Store_Information,

Table Store_Information

store_nameSalesDate
Los Angeles$1500Jan-05-1999
San Diego$250Jan-07-1999
Los Angeles$300Jan-08-1999
Boston$700Jan-08-1999

we key in,

SELECT store_name
FROM Store_Information
WHERE Sales > 1000


Result:

Next: SQL AND OR
