PostgreSQL - Operators

What is an Operator in PostgreSQL?

An operator is a reserved word or a character used primarily in a PostgreSQL statement's WHERE clause to perform operation(s), such as comparisons and arithmetic operations.

Operators are used to specify conditions in a PostgreSQL statement and to serve as conjunctions for multiple conditions in a statement.

  • Arithmetic operators
  • Comparison operators
  • Logical operators
  • Bitwise operators
PostgreSQL Arithmetic Operators

Assume variable a holds 2 and variable b holds 3, then −

Example


PostgreSQL Comparison Operators

Assume variable a holds 10 and variable b holds 20, then −



PostgreSQL Logical Operators

Here is a list of all the logical operators available in PostgresSQL.


PostgreSQL Bit String Operators

Bitwise operator works on bits and performs bit-by-bit operation. The truth table for & and | is as follows −


Assume if A = 60; and B = 13; now in binary format they will be as follows −

A = 0011 1100

B = 0000 1101

-----------------

A&B = 0000 1100

A|B = 0011 1101

~A  = 1100 0011

The Bitwise operators supported by PostgreSQL are listed in the following table −

Java : Variables Declaring

[1]. Java Variables Variables are containers for storing data values. In Java, there are different types of variables, for example: String - stores text, such as "Hello". String values are surrounded by double quotes int - stores integers (whole numbers), without decimals, such as 123 or -123 float - stores floating point numbers, with decimals, such as 19.99 or -19.99 char - stores single characters, such as 'a' or 'B'. Char values are surrounded by single quotes boolean - stores values with two states: true or false [2]. Declaring (Creating) Variables To create a variable, you must specify the type and assign it a value: Syntax type variable = value ; Where type is one of Java's types (such as int or String), and variable is the name of the variable (such as x or name). The equal sign is used to assign values to the variable. To create a variable that should store text, look at the following example: Example Create a variable called  name  of type  Stri...

SQL Self JOIN

SQL Self JOIN A self JOIN is a regular join, but the table is joined with itself. Self JOIN Syntax SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1 T1, table1 T2 WHERE condition; T1 and T2 are different table aliases for the same table.
