"And", "Or", and "Not" are Boolean operators used in database queries to refine search results. "And" narrows the search by including only results that contain all specified terms. "Or" broadens the search to include results that contain any of the specified terms. "Not" excludes results that contain the specified term. "But" and "So" are not used as Boolean operators in database querying.
