Using Where clause in T-SQL Query

If you want to restrict the results of the query to only the records that you need instead of returning all the records from the table , you can use the WHERE clause to filter the records.

You can simply specify the WHERE clause and also specify the conditions that the rows must meet.

For example , if you want to return the rows where the department name is ‘Research and Development’ , the query would look something like this

USE AdventureWorks2014
SELECT Name,GroupName FROM HumanResources.Department
WHERE GroupName = 'Research and Development'
