Suppose you have a table called <code>Employees<\/code> and you want to find all the employees who work in the &#039;Sales&#039; department. and earn more than 3000 euros per month. The SQL query would be:<\/p>\n<pre><code class=\"&quot;language-sql&quot;\">SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE department = &#039;Sales&#039; AND salary &gt; 3000;<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In this example, AND ensures that only those employees who simultaneously meet both criteria will be selected: being part of the &#039;Sales&#039; and have a salary greater than 3000 euros.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ejemplos_Practicos_de_Uso_de_AND\"><\/span>Practical Examples of Using AND<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let&#039;s see how we can use the AND operator in different scenarios within a database:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Filtrado_de_Fechas\"><\/span>1.
