A boolean expression is a logical statement that returns either true or false.
A boolean expression in SELECT follows this syntax: SELECT {boolean_expression} as {alias}.
This example demonstrates a query that satisfies one numerical logical condition.
SELECT Profit > 0 as Profits FROM "Superstore" LIMIT 5;
| Profits |
|---|
| true |
| true |
| true |
| false |
| true |
This example demonstrates a query that satisfies two numerical logical conditions.
SELECT Profit > 0 and Profit < 100 as Profits FROM "Superstore" LIMIT 5;
| Profits |
|---|
| true |
| false |
| true |
| false |
| true |
This example demonstrates a text comparison.
SELECT Customer_Name LIKE 'A%' as "A Names" FROM "Superstore" LIMIT 5;
| A Names |
|---|
| false |
| false |
| false |
| false |
| true |
