SQL Subqueries

This document discusses SQL subqueries. Subqueries are nested queries that provide data to an enclosing query. They must be enclosed in parentheses and can return individual values or lists of records. Subqueries can be used in different locations within a query, such as with the IN operator or to assign column values for each record. Examples show how subqueries can be used to list products with order quantities greater than 100 and customers with their total number of orders.

SQL Subqueries

 A subquery is a SQL query within a query.


 Subqueries are nested queries that provide data to the enclosing query.
 Subqueries can return individual values or a list of records
 Subqueries must be enclosed with parenthesis

The SQL subquery syntax

There is no general syntax; subqueries are regular queries placed inside


parenthesis.
Subqueries can be used in different ways and at different locations inside a
query:
Here is an subquery with the IN operator

1. SELECT column-names
2. FROM table-name1
3. WHERE value IN (SELECT column-name
4. FROM table-name2
5. WHERE condition)

Subqueries can also assign column values for each record:

1. SELECT column1 = (SELECT column-name FROM table-name WHERE condition),


2. column-names
3. FROM table-name
4. WEHRE condition
ORDERITEM
Id
OrderId
ProductId
UnitPrice
Quantity
PRODUCT
Id
ProductName
SupplierId
UnitPrice
Package
IsDiscontinued

SQL Subquery Examples

Problem: List products with order quantities greater than 100.

1. SELECT ProductName
2. FROM Product
3. WHERE Id IN (SELECT ProductId
4. FROM OrderItem
5. WHERE Quantity > 100)

Results: 12 records

SQL Subquery Examples

Problem: List all customers with their total number of orders

1. SELECT FirstName, LastName,


2. OrderCount = (SELECT COUNT(O.Id) FROM [Order] O WHERE O.CustomerId =
C.Id)
3. FROM Customer C

This is a correlated subquery because the subquery references the enclosing


query (i.e. the C.Id in the WHERE clause).

Results: 91 records

FirstName LastName OrderCount
