Procedure for doing the experiment

Step Detail
1 Subqueries
The query within another is known as a subquery. A
statement containing sub query is called parent statement.
The rows returned by a subquery are used by the parent
statement.
2 Types of Subqueries
Single-row subquery
Queries that return only one row from the inner SELECT
statement.
Multiple-row subqueries
Queries that return more than one row from the inner SELECT
statement. The results can be obtained using the operators
IN, ANY and ALL.
Multiple-column subqueries
Queries that return more than one column from the inner
 SELECT statement.
Correlated subquery
A sub query is evaluated once for the entire parent statement
whereas a correlated sub query is evaluated once per row
processed by the parent statement.

SQL COMMANDS

Using a Subquery

Example:
select eno, ename
where salary >
(select sal
from employee
where ename =’JONES’);

Single-Row Subqueries
Example:
select ename, job
from emp
where job =
(select job
from emp
where empno =7369);

Multiple-Row Subqueries
Example:
select ename, sal, deptno
from emp
where sal in
(select min(sal)
from emp
group by deptno);

Multiple-Column Subqueries
Example:
select ordid, prodid, qty
from item
where (prodid, qty) in
(select prodid, qty
from item
where ordid =605);

Correlated subquery
Example:
select *
from emp x
where x.salary >
(select avg(salary)
from emp
where deptno =x.deptno);
