use of IN/ANY/ALL..

Answer / bunty

IN - used to select multiple rows based on any of the key
provided

SQL - select distinct employeeid from orders where orderid
in ( select orderid from orderdetails where discount >= 10)


ANY - used in case of relational queries to compare result
with any of the key.

SQL - select custID from orders where regionID != "E" and
discount > any (select discount from orders where regionID
= "E" and discount > 3)

ALL - used in case of relational queries to compare result
with all of the keys.

SQL - select custID from orders where regionID != "E" and
discount > all (select discount from orders where regionID
= "E" and discount > 3)

use of IN/ANY/ALL..

Answer / manoj

IN- It will return the value based on the parameter;
e.g. select * from emp where salary in ('1000','3000');

ANY-It will compare with any value that has been returned by
the parameter;

select * from emp where salary > any(select salary from emp
where deptno=10)
the salary will be compared with any value that has been
returned by the subquery.

ALL-It will compare with max/min value that has been
returned by the subquery;

select * from emp where salary > all(select salary from emp
where deptno=10)
the salary will be compared with the longest value that has
been returned by the subquery.
