Lec12 - Lab - CSC371 - Database Systems

The document discusses SQL subqueries. It defines a subquery as a query nested within a larger query. Subqueries can be used in the SELECT, FROM, WHERE, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE clauses. Different types of subqueries are described including single-row, multiple-row, multiple-column, correlated, and nested subqueries. Examples are provided to illustrate the use of subqueries with comparison operators, IN, ANY, ALL, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.

SQL Sub Query

SQL Sub Query
 A subquery is an SQL query nested inside a larger query.
 A subquery may occur in :
 A SELECT clause
 A FROM clause
 A WHERE clause
 A subquery can be treated as an inner query, which is a
SQL query placed as a part of another query called as
outer query.
 The inner query executes first before its parent query so that
the results of inner query can be passed to the outer query.
 Must be enclosed in parentheses
5
 Usually added within the WHERE Clause of another SQL
SELECT statement
 You can use the comparison operators, such as >, <, or =.
 The comparison operator can also be a multiple-row
operator, such as IN, ANY, or ALL.
 You can use a subquery in a SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, or
UPDATE statement to perform the following tasks:
 Compare an expression to the result of the query.
 Determine if an expression is included in the results of the query.
 Check whether the query selects any rows.

6
Types of Subquery

 Single row subquery : Returns zero or one row.


 Multiple row subquery : Returns one or more rows.
 Multiple column subqueries : Returns one or more columns.
 Correlated subqueries : Reference one or more columns in the outer SQL
statement. The subquery is known as a correlated subquery because the
subquery is related to the outer SQL statement.
 Nested subqueries : Subqueries are placed within another subquery.
Staff members detail working at street ‘163 Main St’
 Select staff.* from staff,branch Where staff.branchno = branch.branchno
 Execute From clause and fetch both tables data.
 Execute where clause and Create a temporary table with matching records
 Display data according to mentioned attributes in select clause.

8
Alternate way with subquery

 Seelct staff.* from staff where branchno=(select branch from branch where street
=‘163 Main st’)

 While we just need one record from branch table and matching of that record from
staff table
 Only three records

9
Can you find out branch number and its city of
those staff members who are drawing more than
10000 salary.
 select distinct branch.branchno, branch.city from branch
join staff on branch.branchno = staff.branchno and salary > 10000
 select branch.branchno, branch.city from branch
where branch.branchno in (select branchno from staff where salary > 10000)

10
Subqueries with INSERT statement

 MySQL
 INSERT INTO staff2 SELECT * FROM staff WHERE position = ‘assistant’ OR position= ‘supervisor’
 SQL Server
 SELECT * INTO staff2 FROM staff WHERE position = 'assistant' or position = 'supervisor’

 Select * from staff2

11
Subqueries with UPDATE statement

 update staff2 set salary= salary+5000


 where salary < (select avg(salary) from staff2)

12
Subqueries with DELETE statement

 Delete from staff2 where branchno in (select branchno from branch where city = ‘London’)

13
Single Row Subqueries

 Returns zero or one row to the outer SQL statement

 Select staff.* from staff where branchno=(select branchno from branch where
street ='163 Main st')

14
Multiple Row Subqueries

 select branch.branchno, branch.city from branch


where branch.branchno in (select branchno from staff where salary > 10000)

15
SQL Nested subqueries

 A subquery can be nested inside other subqueries


 List the properties that are handled by staff who work in the branch at ‘163
Main St’.
 SELECT propertyNo, street, city, postcode, type, rooms, rent
 FROM PropertyForRent
 WHERE staffNo IN (SELECT staffNo FROM Staff
 WHERE branchNo = (SELECT branchNo FROM Branch
 WHERE street = ‘163 Main St’));

16
Use of ANY/SOME and ALL
 The keywords ANY and ALL may be used with subqueries that produce a single
column of numbers

 Find all staff whose salary is larger than the salary of at least one member of staff at
branch B003.
 SELECT staffNo, fName, IName, position, salary
FROM Staff WHERE salary > SOME (SELECT salary FROM Staff WHERE branchNo = ‘B003’);

17
Use of ALL

 Find all staff whose salary is larger than the salary of every member of staff
at branch B003.

 SELECT staffNo, fName, IName, position, salary FROM Staff


 WHERE salary > ALL (SELECT salary FROM Staff
 WHERE branchNo = ‘B003’);
