TL;DR

MySQL 的 between 會包含開頭跟結尾本身，也就是 column >= lower_limit and column <= upper_limit

為什麼要寫這篇

做個備忘，因為老是忘記。

但是這邊的結論不能直接套用到其他 DBMS，請看 W3CSchool 的貼心提醒：

Notice that the BETWEEN operator can produce different result in different databases! In some databases, BETWEEN selects fields that are between and excluding the test values. In other databases, BETWEEN selects fields that are between and including the test values. And in other databases, BETWEEN selects fields between the test values, including the first test value and excluding the last test value.

Therefore: Check how your database treats the BETWEEN operator!

小實驗的過程

$ mysql -u root -p

mysql> create database test_between;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.28 sec)

mysql> use test_between;
Database changed
mysql> create table test_between ( val int );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.34 sec)

mysql> insert into test_between values (1),(2),(3),(4),(5);
Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.05 sec)
Records: 5  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> select * from test_between where val between 2 and 4;
+------+
| val  |
+------+
|    2 |
|    3 |
|    4 |
+------+
3 rows in set (0.02 sec)
