SubQueries
Over here at EssentialSQL I’ve written many articles about subqueries.
Why?
Subqueries are versatile and I want to make sure you’re able to use them! Of course, its that versatility which make them so baffling at times.
Did you know you can use a subquery just about anywhere in your SELECT statement? I think that is what makes them so confusing.
To help with this I’ve put together a good article I want you to read Introduction to Subqueries.
In this article I cover how subqueries work, where you can use them, and some tricks you can use to make your queries less “hard coded” and more robust.
I think one think that makes subqueries so confusing is they can either a single or multiple result. And because of this, you need to know where you can use them! For instance, subqueries returning multiple rows in SELECT clause will fail!
