Subqueries

By Diksha Nagpal
Introduction
• A subquery is a nested query where the result of one query can be used
in another query via relational operator or Aggregation Functions.
And a subquery must be enclosed with in parentheses and contain only
one column in the Select clause if used in where clause.
An Order By Clause is not allowed in a subquery. And this can be
nested within other subqueries. Subquries are used in Where, Having, from
and in Select clauses.
Syntax

• The syntax for MySQL SubQueries is as follows:

•
Select <column_name1>,<column_name2> from <table_name> where
<column_name2> <condition> (select <column_name2> from
<table_name> where condition);
• table name => Any accurate table in the database.
• column name =>The column names that are inserted in the table.
• condition => Is a logic.
