Ex. No: 05 SUB QUERY AND CORRELATED SUB QUERY


Date

Aim

To execute the given SQL queries to retrieve consolidated data by using sub-queries and correlated sub
queries.
Description

Subqueries

A subquery is a query that's nested within another query. Subqueries can be used in the
SELECT, WHERE, or HAVING clauses. They can return a single value or multiple rows or columns.
Subqueries can be used to build complex statements from simpler ones.
Correlated subqueries

A correlated subquery is a subquery that uses values from the outer query in the inner query.
Correlated subqueries are used when a subquery needs to return a different result for each row
considered by the main query. For example, you can use a correlated subquery to find employees
who earn more than their department's average salary.
Syntax for Subqueries and Correlated Subqueries

1. Subqueries:

A subquery is a query inside another query. It can be used in the SELECT, WHERE, or
HAVING clauses.
1: Subquery in SELECT clause

SELECT <column1>, <column2>,

(SELECT <column_name> FROM <table_name2> WHERE <column_name2> =

<table_name1>.<column_name>) AS <alias_name>

FROM <table_name1>;

2: Subquery in WHERE clause


SELECT <column1>, <column2>
FROM <table_name1>

WHERE <column_name> = (SELECT <column_name> FROM <table_name2>


WHERE
<column_name2> = '<some_value>');

3: Subquery in HAVING clause

SELECT <column_name>, AVG(<column_name>)

FROM <table_name1>
GROUP BY <column_name>

HAVING AVG(<column_name>) > (SELECT AVG(<column_name>) FROM

<table_name2> WHERE <column_name2> = <some_value>);

2. Correlated Subqueries:

A correlated subquery is a subquery that references a column from the outer query. It is s

evaluated once for each row processed by the outer query.


1: Correlated subquery with WHERE clause

SELECT <column1>, <column2>

FROM <table_name1> t1

WHERE <column_name> > (SELECT AVG(<column_name>)

FROM <table_name2>
WHERE <column_name2> = t1.<column_name>);

2: Correlated subquery with SELECT clause

SELECT <column1>, <column2>,


(SELECT MAX(<column_name>) FROM <table_name2> WHERE
<column_name2> =
t1.<column_name>) AS <alias_name>
FROM <table_name1> t1;

3: Correlated subquery in HAVING clause

SELECT <column_name>, AVG(<column_name>)

FROM <table_name1> t1
GROUP BY <column_name>

HAVING AVG(<column_name>) > (SELECT AVG(<column_name>)


FROM <table_name2>
WHERE <column_name2> = t1.<column_name>);
