SQL Practice Lesson 2 of 26

Filter rows with WHERE

WHERE is how a query stops being "show me everything" and starts answering a real question. It filters rows before they're returned - the condition is checked against every row, and only the ones where it's true make it into the result. Everything else is discarded before it ever reaches you.

You can compare a column against a fixed value (age > 30), against another column, or chain conditions together with AND/OR - this lesson starts with the simplest case: one column, one value.

Same users table as before: id, name, country, age.

Your task: show the name and age of everyone whose country is Georgia.

You'll practice:

Adding a WHERE clause to a query
Comparing a text column against a quoted value

-- Show the name and age of everyone from Georgia.
SELECT name, age FROM users;
