BETWEEN is used to filter data within a specific range of values.
It works for numbers, dates, and sometimes text.
In my project, we used BETWEEN to extract sales between two dates.
It is inclusive of the start and end values.
BETWEEN simplifies queries compared to multiple AND conditions.
It is commonly used in reports and trend analysis.
Using BETWEEN ensures clear and readable range-based filtering.
