To use two or more conditions to retrieve, insert, update and delete records from the existing created table. And from this, anyone condition have to meet. Then we can use a ' WHERE ' statement with OR conditions.

The basic syntax of WHERE statement with OR conditions.–

SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE condition_1 OR condition_2;

In this anyone condition, condition_1 or condition_2 will be met.

For example –

SELECT * FROM employees WHERE first_name LIKE 'su%' OR employee_id>150;

Run Query

In this statement, it will retrieve the first_name start with specific syntax “su” and also retrieve the record in which the employee_id is greater than 150 from the table employees.
