SQL Select all rows greater than a value

Question

I have a set of rows in a table that each have a unique key that auto-increments every time a new event is created. For example, the first row that has been created has a key of "1", the second row that has been created has a key of "2", and so on.

I would like to select all of the rows in the table that have a key that is greater than a particular value. For example, if I specify the value to be "6", I want to retrieve all of the rows in the table that have a value greater than 6 in their unique key column.

What is the SQL statement for this operation?

Answer 1

The query would be:

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE UniqueKey > 6

Replace Table with the name of your table, UniqueKey with the field you wish to check for and 6 with whatever value you wish to check for.

I would suggest visiting the w3schools website and looking at the SELECT and WHERE clause pages.
