Then I discovered a way for anyone with the desire to easily learn SQL. At that time that seemed impossible! It in dawned on me, it doesn’t have to be that way. I felt really bad, as she was under pressure to get some summary information to her boss, the built-in reports were falling short, and to make them better would require her to know SQL. She didn’t know where to start and soon got overwhelmed and lost as she didn’t know SQL.
It wasn’t long ago that I was helping a colleague with some reporting. Really! Just post a comment and I’ll respond. Use your time wisely so you focus on what is important to learn to get the most value from your time. Get started in an easy to follow step-by-step manner.
I know what it is like to not know where to start or whether the time spent learning is worth the effort. I’m here because I am passionate about helping non-techie people to overcome their fear of learning SQL. Here are the two statements side by side: Surprisingly, there are two ways to go about solving this. Suppose the Sales Manager for Adventure Works wants a detailed listing of all sales orders and the number of order details lines for each order. Though joins and subqueries have many differences, they can be used to solve similar problems. In fact, just because you write a SQL statement as a subquery doesn’t mean the DBMS executes as such. HAVING clause – In my experience, scalar (single value) subqueries are used here.FROM clause– It is typical to see row based result subqueries used here.WHERE clause– depending on the conditional operator, you’ll see single value or row based subqueries.SELECT List – here a subquery is used to return single values.Joins are used in the FROM clause of the WHERE statement however, you’ll find subqueries used in most clauses such as the: My article Introduction to Subqueries in the SELECT Statement provides a good explanation of correlated subqueries. In this way, a sub query is somewhat like a join in that values from two or more tables can be compared. When a subquery incorporates a column from the main query, it is said to be correlated. In many cases, the returned value is displayed as a column or used in a filter condition such as where or having clause. It cannot stand on its own as a subquery can.Ī subquery is used to run a separate query from within the main query. Note that the join is an integral part of the select statement. This is different than the subquery. There the subquery returns a result, which is immediately used. The combined row set is then available by the select statement for use to display, filter, or group by the columns. Notice that the column ProductModel.Name is available for use throughout the query. In this statement, we’re using an INNER JOIN to match rows from both the Product and ProductModel tables. ON Product.ProductModelID = ProductModel.ProductModelID For example, we can use a join display product names and models. In this example, you could paste the subquery, without the parenthesis, into a query window and run it.Ĭontrast this with a join whose main purpose is to combine rows from one or more tables based on a match condition. Notice how the subqueries are queries unto themselves. Here the subquery is returning a single value which is then used to filter out products. The first’s purpose is to display the average list price of all products, the second’s purpose is for filtering out products less than or equal to the average list price.
There are two subqueries in this SELECT statement. WHERE ListPrice > ( SELECT AVG(ListPrice)
