The BETWEEN clause in MySQL is explained in detail

The IN clause can be used instead of the combined "greater than or equal to and less than or equal to" condition.

To understand that the EMPLOYEE_TBL table considered by the BETWEEN clause has the following records:

mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id  | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
|  1 | John | 2007-01-24 |        250 |
|  2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 |        220 |
|  3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 |        170 |
|  3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 |        100 |
|  4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 |        220 |
|  5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 |        300 |
|  5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 |        350 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Now, suppose you want to get the record condition daily_typing_pages more than 170, equal to and less than 300 according to the table above. This can be done using the following conditions > = and < =

mysql>SELECT * FROM employee_tbl 
  ->WHERE daily_typing_pages >= 170 AND
  ->daily_typing_pages <= 300;
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id  | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
|  1 | John | 2007-01-24 |        250 |
|  2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 |        220 |
|  3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 |        170 |
|  4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 |        220 |
|  5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 |        300 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.03 sec)

The BETWEEN clause can also be implemented as follows:

mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl 
  -> WHERE daily_typing_pages BETWEEN 170 AND 300; 
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id  | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
|  1 | John | 2007-01-24 |        250 |
|  2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 |        220 |
|  3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 |        170 |
|  4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 |        220 |
|  5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 |        300 |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
5 rows in set (0.03 sec)
