- SUBQUERIES (SHORT VERSION)
-
- Often, we need to break down our query into more than one
- query. Each query will have its own select. We need
- subqueries when, in analyzing a query, we find that we need
- information from one query before we can process another query.
- In some cases we can either join tables or use a subquery.
- Typically, subqueries retrieve information more rapidly than
- joining tables.
-
- Subqueries work "backwards" in that the last select statement is
- executed first and so on.
-
- Assume you have the following query: Which customers have
- purchased products from salespersons who work under manager
- number 20? One approach would be to find all the salespeople
- that have the same number as one of the group of employees in
- the employee table who have a 20 in the mgrn column.
-
- select distinct cc
- from s
- where sn in
- (select enum
- from e
- where mgrn = 20);
-
- cc
- --
- c2
-
- 1 row selected
-
- Subqueries can be used in a variety of ways to extract data that
- would otherwise be unavailable. Become a registered user and
