In this article, we would like to show you how to select multiple values in MySQL.

Quick solution:

SELECT *
FROM `table_name`
WHERE `column_name` = value_1 OR `column_name` = value_2;

or

SELECT *
FROM `table_name`
WHERE `column_name` IN(value_1, value_2);

Practical example

To show how to select multiple values, we will use the following users table:

MySQL - example data used to select multiple values
MySQL - example data used to select multiple values

Note:

At the end of this article you can find database preparation SQL queries.

Example 1 - with OR condition

In this example, we will select rows from users table where id = 2 or 4 using OR condition.

Query:

SELECT *
FROM `users`
WHERE `id` = 3 OR `id` = 5;

Result:

MySQL - select multiple values - result
MySQL - select multiple values - result

Example 2 - with IN function

In this example, we will select rows from users table where id = 2 or 4 using IN function.

Query:

SELECT *
FROM `users`
WHERE `id` IN(2,4);

Result:

MySQL - select multiple values - result
MySQL - select multiple values - result

Database preparation

create_tables.sql file:

CREATE TABLE `users` (
	`id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
	`name` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
	`surname` VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

insert_data.sql file:

INSERT INTO `users`
	( `name`, `surname`)
VALUES
	('John', 'Stewart'),
	('Chris', 'Brown'),
	('Kate', 'Lewis'),
	('Ailisa', 'Gomez'),
	('Gwendolyn', 'James'),
	('Simon', 'Collins'),
	('Taylor', 'Martin'),
	('Andrew', 'Thompson');
