Answer / moorthy g
select ename from emp e
where mgr in (select empno from emp whereename = 'KING');
Here's the EXPLAIN PLAN for this query:
OBJECT OPERATION
---------- ----------------------------------------
SELECTSTATEMENT()
NESTEDLOOPS()
EMP TABLEACCESS(FULL)
EMP TABLEACCESS(BY INDEX ROWID)
PK_EMP INDEX(UNIQUESCAN)
This query is virtually equivalent to this:
select e1.ename from emp e1,(select empno from empwhere
ename = 'KING') e2
where e1.mgr = e2.empno;
You can write the same query using EXISTS bymoving the outer
query column to a subquery condition, likethis:
select ename from emp e
where exists (select 0 from emp wheree.mgr = empno and
ename = 'KING');
When you write EXISTS in a where clause, you'retelling the
optimizer that you want the outer query to be runfirst,
using each value to fetch a value from the inner
query(think: EXISTS = outside to inside).

Answer / sujeetha
It is almost similar to IN but the difference is that in
EXIST it will retrive the row atleast one row in the inner
query satisfies but in IN we can have manuy values

Answer / pavan_615
IN- sub Query - it will be executed once for the full query
Exist - Co-related sub Query - it will be executed for each
row.-- exist will me faster when you are working with big
tables.
