Lab 4: Advanced Querying Techniques


Objective:
• Understand and apply advanced SQL querying techniques.
• Learn to use comparison operators, BETWEEN/NOT BETWEEN, IN/NOT IN, LIKE/NOT LIKE,
and IS NULL/IS NOT NULL in SQL queries. Lab Duration: 3 Hours

Pre-requisites:
• SQL Server and SSMS installed.
• Basic understanding of databases and the purpose of tables.

Theory Overview:
SQL provides powerful operators and keywords that allow users to filter and manipulate data in
more advanced ways. These advanced techniques include:

• Comparison Operators: Used to compare two expressions and return boolean values.
• BETWEEN/NOT BETWEEN: Used to filter data within a specific range.
• IN/NOT IN: Used to check if a value matches any value in a list.
• LIKE/NOT LIKE: Used to search for patterns in text fields. IS NULL/IS NOT
NULL: Used to check for NULL values.

Tasks:
Task 1: Search with Comparison Operators (30 Minutes)

1. Open a new query window in SSMS.

2. Write and execute the following query to find all employees with a salary greater than 40000:
3. Write and execute the following query to find employees whose salary is between 30000 and
50000:
4. Verify the results for each query.
Task 2: Use of BETWEEN/NOT BETWEEN (30 Minutes)
Task 3: Use of IN/NOT IN (30 Minutes)
Task 4: Use of LIKE/NOT LIKE (30 Minutes)
Task 5: Use of IS NULL/IS NOT NULL (30 Minutes)

1. Write and execute the query to find employees whose DateOfBirth is NULL:
2. Verify the results for each query.
Lab Questions (Assignment Tasks):

1. What is the difference between using BETWEEN and IN?


2. Write a query to find all products with a price that is not within the range of 20 to 100.
3. How would you search for employees whose first name contains the letters 'Mi'?

Lab Submission Requirements:

• Screenshots of SQL queries and their outputs.


• A short report explaining the steps performed.
• SQL file with the queries used.
Conclusion:

In this lab, students learned how to use advanced SQL querying techniques
including comparison
operators, BETWEEN/NOT BETWEEN, IN/NOT IN, LIKE/NOT LIKE, and IS NULL/IS NOT NULL.
These techniques are essential for more precise data retrieval and allow you to filter data in
complex ways based on multiple conditions.
