Select Rows with id having even number

Question

I am passing a simple query where I am searching for specific rows where OrderID is an even number

SELECT * 
FROM Orders 
WHERE mod(OrderID,2) = 0;

Error :

Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'mod(OrderID,2) = 0'.

Answer 1

You are not using Oracle, so you should be using the modulus operator:

SELECT * FROM Orders where OrderID % 2 = 0; 

The MOD() function exists in Oracle, which is the source of your confusion.

Have a look at this SO question which discusses your problem.

Answer 2

SELECT * FROM Orders where OrderID % 2 = 0;///this is for even numbers  SELECT * FROM Orders where OrderID % 2 != 0;///this is for odd numbers 

Answer 3

Sql Server we can use %

select * from orders where ID % 2 = 0;

This can be used in both Mysql and oracle. It is more affection to use mod function that %.

select * from orders where mod(ID,2) = 0
