SQL Subqueries CPP Presentation

A subquery is a nested SQL query that returns data for the main query and can be used in various SQL commands like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. Examples include single-row, multiple-row, and correlated subqueries, which enhance SQL's expressiveness and power. Subqueries, when combined with C++, facilitate the development of dynamic, data-driven applications.

Slide 1: What is a Subquery?

- A subquery (inner query) is a query nested inside another SQL query.

- It returns data used by the main (outer) query.

Slide 2: Where Can You Use Subqueries?


Subqueries are commonly used in:

- SELECT

- INSERT

- UPDATE

- DELETE

Also used with: IN, =, ANY, ALL, EXISTS

Slide 3: SQL Subquery Example


SQL:

SELECT name FROM employees

WHERE salary > (SELECT AVG(salary) FROM employees);

Explanation:

Returns employees who earn more than the average salary.

Slide 4: C++ Code Example using SQLite


#include <iostream>

#include <sqlite3.h>

int main() {

sqlite3* DB;

sqlite3_open("company.db", &DB);
std::string sql = R"(

SELECT name FROM employees

WHERE salary > (SELECT AVG(salary) FROM employees);

)";

sqlite3_exec(DB, sql.c_str(), [](void*, int argc, char** argv, char**) -> int {

std::cout << "Employee: " << argv[0] << std::endl;

return 0;

}, nullptr, nullptr);

sqlite3_close(DB);

return 0;

Slide 5: Types of Subqueries


1. Single-row subquery - returns one value

2. Multiple-row subquery - returns a list

3. Correlated subquery - uses outer query values

Correlated Example:

SELECT name FROM employees e

WHERE salary > (

SELECT AVG(salary) FROM employees

WHERE department_id = e.department_id

);

Slide 6: Why Use Subqueries?


- Break down complex problems

- Reuse logic

- Write cleaner SQL

- Powerful filtering tool

Conclusion
Subqueries make SQL more expressive and powerful.

Combined with C++, they help create dynamic, data-driven applications.
