| 20 | +# Subqueries |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +DataFusion supports `EXISTS`, `NOT EXISTS`, `IN`, `NOT IN` and Scalar Subqueries. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +The examples below are based on the following table. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +```sql |
| 27 | +❯ select * from x; |
| 28 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 29 | +| column_1 | column_2 | |
| 30 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 31 | +| 1 | 2 | |
| 32 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## EXISTS |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +The `EXISTS` syntax can be used to find all rows in a relation where a correlated subquery produces one or more matches |
| 38 | +for that row. Only correlated subqueries are supported. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +```sql |
| 41 | +❯ select * from x y where exists (select * from x where x.column_1 = y.column_1); |
| 42 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 43 | +| column_1 | column_2 | |
| 44 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 45 | +| 1 | 2 | |
| 46 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 47 | +1 row in set. |
| 48 | +``` |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## NOT EXISTS |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +The `NOT EXISTS` syntax can be used to find all rows in a relation where a correlated subquery produces zero matches |
| 53 | +for that row. Only correlated subqueries are supported. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +```sql |
| 56 | +❯ select * from x y where not exists (select * from x where x.column_1 = y.column_1); |
| 57 | +0 rows in set. |
| 58 | +``` |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## IN |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +The `IN` syntax can be used to find all rows in a relation where a given expression's value can be found in the |
| 63 | +results of a correlated subquery. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +```sql |
| 66 | +❯ select * from x where column_1 in (select column_1 from x); |
| 67 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 68 | +| column_1 | column_2 | |
| 69 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 70 | +| 1 | 2 | |
| 71 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 72 | +1 row in set. |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +## NOT IN |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +The `NOT IN` syntax can be used to find all rows in a relation where a given expression's value can not be found in the |
| 78 | +results of a correlated subquery. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +```sql |
| 81 | +❯ select * from x where column_1 not in (select column_1 from x); |
| 82 | +0 rows in set. |
| 83 | +``` |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +## Scalar Subquery |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +A scalar subquery can be used to produce a single value that can be used in many different contexts in a query. Here |
| 88 | +is an example of a filter using a scalar subquery. Only correlated subqueries are supported. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +```sql |
| 91 | +❯ select * from x y where column_1 < (select sum(column_2) from x where x.column_1 = y.column_1); |
| 92 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 93 | +| column_1 | column_2 | |
| 94 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 95 | +| 1 | 2 | |
| 96 | ++----------+----------+ |
| 97 | +1 row in set. |
| 98 | +``` |
