Summary  
This chapter covers how to use the AND operator in SQL to combine multiple filter conditions in a WHERE clause so that only rows meeting all specified criteria are returned.

General domain of usage  
Relational database querying

When you want to filter results using more than one column, you can chain conditions together with the `AND` operator in the `WHERE` clause. 

SELECT name, population, region
FROM country
WHERE population >= 1000000 AND continent ='Europe';

This query returns only the rows that meet both conditions: the country's population is at least 1000000, and it's located in Europe.
