Whatz the main diff between Subquery and a Join..

Answer / suryakiran

The main usage of subqueries is to retrieve a single record
from that same table or another table.

And also we can use subqueries to retrieve multiple
records,for this we have to use multiple sub queies,instead
of this its better to use joins based on a condition.

We can perform all operations for joins by using subqueries
but it is very complicated.
