exists improves the performance because it returns boolian
value where as 'in' is not...so exists simplyfies internal
calculations....

Answer / pankaj
In sql server,
WHEN YOU USE 'IN', WHILE CHECKING FOR WHERE CONDITION SQL SERVER ENGINE DOES WHOLE TABLE SCAN. IF YOU USE 'EXISTS' AS SOON AS ENGINE FINDS THE REQUIRED ROW IT WILL STOP EXECUTING QUERY AND GOING FURTHER SCANNING TABLE.
In Oracle,
EXISTS is very faster than IN (when the subquery results is very large)
IN is faster than EXISTS (when the subquery results is very small)
In Example -
select ename from emp
where mgr in (select empno from emp where ename = 'KING');
Exists Example -
Select ename from emp a where exists ( select 0/null from emp b where a.mgr=b.empno and ename='KING')

Answer / imran
The EXISTS clause is used to check the existence of rows returned by a subquery. It returns TRUE if the subquery returns one or more rows.
The IN clause is used to filter rows based on a list of values or a subquery result set. It checks if a value matches any value in a list or subquery.

Answer / sri
when the condition is in a subquery then in will be used
where if there is a condition in superquery
(parent) exists will be used. Usage of IN will improve the
performance
