109 Correlated Subqueries

Correlated subqueries contain a reference to a table in the outer query and are executed once for each row in the outer query, allowing the subquery to return a different result for each row. They can be used with logical and IN/ANY/ALL operators when the subquery needs to return varying results. WHERE EXISTS and WHERE NOT EXISTS test for the existence or non-existence of records in a subquery and are often used with correlated subqueries.

Correlated Subqueries

• A correlated subquery contains a reference to a table in the outer query

• In a normal subquery the inner subqueries run first and execute once, they
return values for the outer subquery
• In a correlated subquery the subquery is executed once for each row in the
outer query
• Correlated subqueries can be used when the subquery needs to return a
different result for each row in the outer query
• Correlated subqueries can be used with logical operators (<,>,=…) and IN,
ANY, ALL operators
Where Exists / Not Exists
• WHERE EXISTS is used to test the existence of any record in a
subquery, and returns TRUE if the record exists

• WHERE NOT EXISTS is used to test the non-existence of any


record in a subquery, returns TRUE if record doesn’t exist

• Usually used with correlated subqueries
