Question

I’ve got a table which contains the following columns: ID, Condition 1, Condition 2.

I’d like to select all rows where condition 1 AND condition 2 is not a specific word. let’s say the word is “no”.

So, I want to select all rows where condition 1 and condition 2 are not “no” and all rows where there is a “no” but only in one of the conditions.

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

to get rows where both conditions are NOT ‘no’

SELECT ID, Condition1, Condition2
FROM Conditions
WHERE Condition1 != 'no'
  AND Condition2 != 'no';

to get rows where either one condition or the other (but not both) is NOT ‘no’

SELECT ID, Condition1, Condition2
FROM Conditions
WHERE Condition1 != 'no'
  XOR Condition2 != 'no';

To do both sets at the same time:

SELECT ID, Condition1, Condition2
FROM Conditions
WHERE Condition1 != 'no' OR Condition2 != 'no';

ETA extension of query returns the row with id=1 IF that row does NOT have ‘no’ in Condition1 or 2:

SELECT ID, Condition1, Condition2
FROM Conditions
WHERE Conditions.ID=1
  AND (Condition1 != 'no' AND Condition2 != 'no');
