Description:-

The BETWEEN and IN operators in SQL are used to compare values within a given range or a set of values. The BETWEEN operator is utilized to compare two values inside a range, whereas the IN operator is utilized to compare a value with a set of values.

Example:-

BETWEEN Operator in SQL:-

SELECT *
FROM user
WHERE user_age BETWEEN 28 AND 32

Result:-

This example retrieves all records of users from the user table where the age is between 28 and 32 years  (including 30).

IN Operator in SQL:-

SELECT *
FROM user
WHERE user_age IN ( 28, 32 )

Result:-

This example retrieves all records of users from the user table where the age is equal to 28 or 32 years.

Key takeaways:-

• The IN operator in SQL is used to specify multiple values in a WHERE clause. It is used to match one or more values specified in a list.
• The BETWEEN operator is utilized to retrieve values within a range. It is used to match values that are inside a certain range indicated by the client.
• The IN operator is faster than the BETWEEN operator since it only has to evaluate the list of values once.
• The IN operator is valuable for checking for the presence of particular values in a list or table.
• The BETWEEN operator is valuable for comparing values inside a range. It can also be utilized in conjunction with other operators, such as LIKE or NOT LIKE.
  

Conclusion:-

While both BETWEEN and IN operators are used for filtering data in SQL queries, they serve different purposes and are applied at different stages of query execution. This allowed us to quickly and accurately select a range of parts or a specific set of parts, ensuring that the production line was running smoothly.
