The where Clause allows you to give so many conditions like
in the above case you can use
select * from employee where empid >122
select * from employee where empid <125
select * from employee where empid between 122 and 125
select * from employee where empid is not null(if null allowed)
and many moer..........
where as
The in clause allows you to give a no of values inside the
parenthesis decided by you like
select * from employee where empid in(123,1234,125)
or
select * from employee where empid in(select empid from
employee where empid>200)
