Tracy McKibben

My real name is Tracy McKibben. I’ve been working with database products for over 20 years, starting with FoxBase running on Xenix. Over the years, I’ve worked with all flavors of FoxPro, some Clipper and dBase, and starting somewhere around 1995, SQL Server. I’ve even dabbled with Oracle, though I’ve tried to block out all memories of that experience.

At present, I’m the Senior SQL Server DBA and the DBA Team Supervisor for Pearson VUE. All opinions expressed on this site are my own and do not reflect the opinions of Pearson VUE.

Question of the Day

What is Between?

I have a table of products in SQL Server 2022. There are sequential items in the table with ProductIDs of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. If I run this code, how many rows are returned?

SELECT *
FROM dbo.Products
WHERE ProductID
BETWEEN 4 AND 7;
