In the slide, the inner query determines the salary of employee Ab l. The outer query takes the result |
||||
|
of the inner query and uses this result to display all the employees who earn more than employee |
||||
|
Abel. |

Guidelines for Using Subqueries
•Enclose subqueries in parentheses.
•Place subqueries on the right side of the comparison condition for readability (However, the subquery can appear on either side of the comparison operator.).
•Use single-row operators with single-row subqueries and multiple-row operators with multiple-row subqueries.

A subquery must be enclosed in parentheses. |

Place the subquery on the right side of the comparison |
ondition for readability. However, the |

subquery can appear on either side of the compa ison operator.
• Two classes of comparison conditions are used in subqueries: single-row operators and |

multiple-row operators. |
