BETWEEN predicate (degree > 1)
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The SQL BETWEEN predicate also works well for row value expressions. Much like the BETWEEN predicate for degree 1, it is defined in terms of a pair of regular comparison predicates:
A BETWEEN B AND C A BETWEEN SYMMETRIC B AND C
A >= B AND A <= C (A >= B AND A <= C) OR (A >= C AND A <= B)
The above can be factored out according to the rules listed in the manual's section about row value expression comparison predicates.
jOOQ supports the BETWEEN [SYMMETRIC] predicate and emulates it in all SQL dialects where necessary. An example is given here:
row(BOOK.ID, BOOK.TITLE).between(1, "A").and(10, "Z");
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
row(BOOK.ID, BOOK.TITLE).between(1, "A").and(10, "Z")
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
ASE, Access, Derby, Exasol, Firebird, Hana, Informix, MemSQL, Oracle, SQLDataWarehouse, SQLServer, Sybase
(
(
BOOK.ID >= 1
AND (
BOOK.ID > 1
OR (
BOOK.ID = 1
AND BOOK.TITLE >= 'A'
)
)
)
AND (
BOOK.ID <= 10
AND (
BOOK.ID < 10
OR (
BOOK.ID = 10
AND BOOK.TITLE <= 'Z'
)
)
)
)
