Answer / skumar

Both are returns the SAME results.

I dont know the meaning of the
SELECT * FROM Table_Name WHERE 1=1
SELECT * FROM Table_Name WHERE 2=2
SELECT * FROM Table_Name WHERE 5=5
SELECT * FROM Table_Name WHERE 100=100
.
.
.
etc..,

It accepts the where both are equal.

If you give like

SELECT * FROM Table_Name WHERE 100=1001
It is not accept.

Answer / krishna sandeep

Of course, both the Queries will get you the same data but,

When compared to the first case processing time will be
slightly reduced in the second case.

Bytes sent from client and Bytes received from server will
be more in the first case.

and one more thing is better not using "select * from ..."

Answer / pavan

hey! I too agree there wont be any difference in result it
displays but the performance will be different. While
executing the first query the where condition to be checked
for each record it displays hence it takes much time to
execute while compared with question no 2 i.e, without
where condition. this is what I believe in.
