Sub quires are easy to understand and can be developed by using simple quires. These queries will have two parts, one is inner queries or inner select and outer queries or outer select.
These queries are easy to develop and most of the time preferred over complex joins.
There is some restriction in using subqueries. We cant modify the structure of a table by using a subquery.
Let us start with some examples by using different types of queries using various SQL commands.
select * from student where name Like (Select name from student where mark =86)
id
name
class
mark
28
Rojj Base
Seven
86
Subquery with not in
select * from student where class not in (Select distinct(class) from student)
This query will return if any record is there where class data is not there.
Subquery By using ANY
select * from student where class = any (Select distinct(class) from student)
We will get all the records as we don't have any blank class data
select * from student where mark = (Select max(mark) from student)
id
name
class
mark
33
Kenn Rein
Six
96
The above query will return the details of the student who got maximum mark. This query will also work if there are two students with same maximum mark. But if we use only Max command then we will get only one record.
Subquery with Not In
select * from student where class not in (Select max(mark) from student where class= any (select distinct class from student)) .
Using Union and NOT IN
We have one student table and two games, table football and baseball. Some students are selected for the football team and for the baseball team.
Find out the students who are not selected for any of the teams. Or find the records in the student table which doesn't have a matching record in the football table or baseball table.
SELECT * FROM `student` WHERE id NOT IN
(SELECT f_id from student_football UNION select b_id from student_baseball)
please can you post more subqueries examples to retrieve data from more than one table.
