What is a subquery?
• Definition: A subquery is a query nested within another SQL query,
used to perform intermediate calculations or retrieve data that the
main query will utilize.​

• Purpose: Subqueries allow for complex data retrieval operations by


breaking down queries into manageable parts

A MySQL subquery is called an inner query whereas


the query that contains the subquery is called an
outer query. A subquery can be used anywhere that
expression is used and must be closed in
parentheses.
• You can use comparison operators e.g., =, >, < to compare a
single value returned by the subquery with the expression in the
In the WHERE WHERE clause.
Syntax:

Clause SELECT columNames


FROM tableName
WHERE condition =/>/< (Subquery);
When you use a subquery with a FROM clause, the
In the FROM result set returned from a subquery is used as a
temporary table. This table is referred to as a derived
clause table or materialized subquery.
With IN and NOT If a subquery returns more than one value, you can
use other operators such as IN or NOT IN operator in
IN operators the WHERE clause.

Syntax: Syntax:
SELECT columnNames SELECT columnNames
FROM tableName FROM tableName
WHERE condition NOT IN( WHERE condition IN(
SELECT columnName SELECT columnName
FROM tableName); FROM tableName);
With IN and NOT If a subquery returns more than one value, you can
use other operators such as IN or NOT IN operator in
IN operators the WHERE clause.
A subquery that returns multiple rows and columns,
Table Subqueries functioning as a derived table
Correlated A subquery that references columns from the outer
query, executing once for each row processed by the
Subqueries outer query.
