Subqueries

Retrieving data by using subquery as a source

select department_name,city
from DEPARTMENTS
natural join (select l.location_id, l.city, l.country_id
from locations l
join countries c
on(l.country_id= c.country_id)
join regions using (region_id)
where region_name= 'Europe');
• A subquery in the from clause of a select
statement is called an inline view.
• A subquery in the from clause of a select
statement define the data source of that
particular select statement .
• When a database view is created , the associated
select statement is stored in the data dictionary.
• With inline views all the code needed the support
the query is in one place.
Multiple columns subqueries
• Each row of the main query is compared to
values from a multiple-row and multiple-
column subquery.
Non pairwise Comparison Subqueries
Correlated Subqueries
• Correlated subqueries are performed when,
the subquery references a column from a
table referred in the parent statement.
• A correlated subquery is evaluated once for
for each row processed by the parent
statement.
• Parent statement can be select, update or
delete.
Nested v/s correlated subqueries
• In nested subquery: the values returned by
the inner select are used by the outer query.
• A correlated subquery executed once for each
candidate row considered by the outer query.
i.e outer query drives inner query.
– Any and all are used in correlated subqueries.
Correlated subquery
Using correlated subquery
ALL & ANY
All exists and any
• select * from employee where salary > all(select salary from boss);

• select * from employee where salary > any(select salary from boss);
• insert into boss values (7,'Mike','Ross', 10000);

• select * from employee where exists(select salary from boss where


salary > 60000);

• INSERT INTO contacts (contact_id, contact_name) SELECT supplier_id,


supplier_name FROM suppliers WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM orders
WHERE suppliers.supplier_id = orders.supplier_id);
• UPDATE suppliers SET supplier_name =
(SELECT customers.name FROM customers
WHERE customers.customer_id =
suppliers.supplier_id) WHERE EXISTS (SELECT
customers.name FROM customers WHERE
customers.customer_id =
suppliers.supplier_id);
• DELETE FROM contacts WHERE EXISTS (SELECT
* FROM employees WHERE
employees.last_name = contacts.last_name);
WITH CLAUSE
• With the WITH Clause you can define a query
block before using it.
• It is also known as the “subquery factoring block”.
• Enables you to use the same query block if it is
used more than once in a complex query.
• The results are retrieved and stored in the users
temporary table space.
• It improves performance.
