Fetch records on the basis of LastName using MySQL IN()


Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable
(
   FirstName varchar(100),
   LastName varchar(100)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.83 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Adam','Smith');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John','Doe');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('John','Smith');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.17 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Chris','Brown');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('Robert','Brown');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable values('David','Miller');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+-----------+----------+
| FirstName | LastName |
+-----------+----------+
| Adam      | Smith    |
| John      | Doe      |
| John      | Smith    |
| Chris     | Brown    |
| Robert    | Brown    |
| David     | Miller   |
+-----------+----------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to fetch records on the basis of LastName using MySQL IN() −

mysql> select *from DemoTable where LastName IN('Smith','Brown','Miller');

This will produce the following output −

+-----------+----------+
| FirstName | LastName |
+-----------+----------+
| Adam      | Smith    |
| John      | Smith    |
| Chris     | Brown    |
| Robert    | Brown    |
| David     | Miller   |
+-----------+----------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
