SQL IN query Command and statements

SQL IN statement can be used with where clause to list a set of matching records of a table. We can use SQL in query with NOT  combination also to filter out some records.    This is our table

id name class mark
1 John Deo Four 75
2 Max Ruin Three 85
3 Arnold Three 55
4 Krish Star Four 60
5 John Mike Four 60
6 Alex John Four 55
7 My John Rob Fifth 78
 
We will apply in command to display records of class Four and Fifth only.

SELECT * FROM `student` WHERE class IN ('Four','fifth')


id name class mark
1 John Deo Four 75
4 Krish Star Four 60
5 John Mike Four 60
6 Alex John Four 55
7 My John Rob Fifth 78
Here above the sql in query returns the records of class Four and Fifth only.  We can apply NOT IN sql query also like below to remove some records in display.

SELECT * FROM `student` WHERE class not IN ('Four','fifth')


id name class mark
2 Max Ruin Three 85
3 Arnold Three 55


We can link or collect data related to two different tables by using IN command. For example we have another sports table where we have the list of students joined in sports. We need not keep all the columns lime name , class etc. We can only keep the id filed. So our student can be collected from main table. Here is the query which will display only students joined in sports

Select * from student where id in ( select * from student_sports)


Here inside student_sports we have only one column storing the student id.
