<h1 class="topictitle1">Subqueries and search conditions</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>A subquery can be part of a search condition.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The search condition is in the form <em>operand operator operand</em>.
|
||
|
|
Either operand can be a subquery. In the following example, the first <strong>operand</strong> is
|
||
|
|
EMPNO and <strong>operator</strong> is IN. The search condition can be part of a WHERE
|
||
|
|
or HAVING clause. The clause can include more than one search condition that
|
||
|
|
contains a subquery. A search condition containing a subquery, like any other
|
||
|
|
search condition, can be enclosed in parentheses, can be preceded by the keyword
|
||
|
|
NOT, and can be linked to other search conditions through the keywords AND
|
||
|
|
and OR. For example, the WHERE clause of a query can look something like
|
||
|
|
this: </p>
|
||
|
|
<pre><strong>WHERE</strong> (subquery1) = X <strong>AND</strong> (Y > <strong>SOME</strong> (subquery2) <strong>OR</strong> Z = 100)</pre>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Subqueries can also appear in the search conditions of other subqueries.
|
||
|
|
Such subqueries are said to be <strong>nested</strong> at some level of nesting. For
|
||
|
|
example, a subquery within a subquery within an outer-level SELECT is nested
|
||
|
|
at a nesting level of two. SQL allows nesting down to a nesting level of 32.</p>
