**Course Title:** SQL Mastery: From Fundamentals to Advanced Techniques **Section Title:** Subqueries and Nested Queries **Topic:** Writing single-row and multi-row subqueries Welcome to this topic on writing single-row and multi-row subqueries. In the previous topic, we introduced subqueries and explored their use cases. Here, we'll dive deeper into the different types of subqueries, focusing on single-row and multi-row subqueries. ### Single-Row Subqueries A single-row subquery is a subquery that returns only one row of data. It's often used to retrieve a single value, such as a maximum or minimum value, from a table. The result of the subquery is then used in the main query to perform a comparison or calculation. **Syntax:** The syntax for a single-row subquery is as follows: ```sql MAIN_QUERY WHERE column = (SUBQUERY); ``` **Example:** Suppose we have a table called `employees` with columns `id`, `name`, and `salary`. We want to find the employee with the highest salary in the company. ```sql SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary = (SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees); ``` In this example, the subquery `(SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employees)` returns the maximum salary in the `employees` table. The main query then selects the row(s) with the highest salary. **Key concepts:** * Single-row subqueries return only one row of data. * Use single-row subqueries to retrieve a single value, such as a maximum or minimum value. * Use parentheses to enclose the subquery. * Use the `=` operator to compare the subquery result with the main query. ### Multi-Row Subqueries A multi-row subquery is a subquery that returns multiple rows of data. It's often used to retrieve a list of values, such as a list of employee IDs, from a table. The result of the subquery is then used in the main query to perform a comparison or calculation. **Syntax:** The syntax for a multi-row subquery is as follows: ```sql MAIN_QUERY WHERE column [IN, NOT IN, EXISTS, NOT EXISTS] (SUBQUERY); ``` **Example:** Suppose we have a table called `employees` with columns `id`, `name`, and `salary`. We want to find all employees who earn more than the average salary in their department. ```sql SELECT * FROM employees WHERE salary IN (SELECT salary FROM employees GROUP BY department HAVING AVG(salary)); ``` In this example, the subquery `(SELECT salary FROM employees GROUP BY department HAVING AVG(salary))` returns a list of average salaries by department. The main query then selects the rows with salaries that match any of the average salaries in the list. **Key concepts:** * Multi-row subqueries return multiple rows of data. * Use multi-row subqueries to retrieve a list of values, such as a list of employee IDs. * Use the `IN`, `NOT IN`, `EXISTS`, and `NOT EXISTS` operators to compare the subquery result with the main query. * Use parentheses to enclose the subquery. **Practical takeaways:** * Use single-row subqueries to retrieve a single value, such as a maximum or minimum value. * Use multi-row subqueries to retrieve a list of values, such as a list of employee IDs. * Use the `=`, `IN`, `NOT IN`, `EXISTS`, and `NOT EXISTS` operators to compare the subquery result with the main query. * Use parentheses to enclose the subquery. For more information on subqueries, we recommend checking out the official MySQL documentation: [https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/subqueries.html](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/subqueries.html) We hope you found this topic helpful in understanding single-row and multi-row subqueries. If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to leave a comment below. In the next topic, we'll explore correlated vs. non-correlated subqueries. **What's next:** Correlated vs. non-correlated subqueries. Do you have any questions on this topic? If yes, leave a comment below, and we'll get back to you.
