我只想卷死各位,或者被各位卷死,在此特别感谢康师傅的MySQL教程


子查询指一个查询语句嵌套在另一个查询语句内部的查询,这个特性从MySQL 4.1开始引入。

SQL 中子查询的使用大大增强了 SELECT 查询的能力,因为很多时候查询需要从结果集中获取数据,或者需要从同一个表中先计算得出一个数据结果,然后与这个数据结果(可能是某个标量,也可能是某个集合)进行比较。

需求分析与问题解决

实际问题

  • 谁的工资比Abel高?

为了解决这个问题,我们需要先查出Abel的工资是多少

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
SELECT salary
FROM employees
WHERE last_name = 'Abel'; -- 查询到Abel的工资是11000

SELECT last_name,salary
FROM employees
WHERE salary > 11000; -- 然后再用表中所有员工的工资与Abel的工资进行比较

我们可以采用自查询的方式

1
2
3
4
SELECT b.last_name,b.salary
FROM employees a,employees b
WHERE a.`last_name` = 'Abel'
AND b.`salary` > a.`salary`;

子查询,在方式一的基础上,将11000替换成我们查询Abel工资的语句,并用括号包裹

1
2
3
4
5
6
SELECT last_name,salary
FROM employees
WHERE salary > (SELECT salary
FROM employees
WHERE last_name = 'Abel'
);

子查询的基本使用

  • 子查询(内查询)在主查询之前一次执行完成。

  • 子查询的结果被主查询(外查询)使用 。

  • 注意事项
    • 子查询要包含在括号内
    • 最好将子查询放在比较条件的右侧
    • 单行操作符对应单行子查询,多行操作符对应多行子查询

-- 放在左侧会影响代码可读性
SELECT last_name,salary
FROM employees
WHERE (
SELECT salary
FROM employees
WHERE last_name = 'Abel'
) < salary;

子查询的分类

  • 分类方式1
    • 我们按内查询的结果返回一条还是多条记录,将子查询分为 单行子查询多行子查询
  • 分类方式2
    • 我们按内查询是否被执行多次,将子查询划分为 相关(或关联)子查询不相关(或非关联)子查询
    • 子查询从数据表中查询了数据结果,如果这个数据结果只执行一次,然后这个数据结果作为主查询的条件进行执行,那么这样的子查询叫做不相关子查询。
    • 同样,如果子查询需要执行多次,即采用循环的方式,先从外部查询开始,每次都传入子查询进行查询,然后再将结果反馈给外部,这种嵌套的执行方式就称为相关子查询。

单行子查询

单行比较操作符

操作符 含义
= equal TO
> greater THAN
>= greater THAN OR equal TO
< LESS THAN
<= LESS THAN OR equal TO
<> NOT equal TO

FROM employees
WHERE (manager_id,department_id) = (
SELECT manager_id,department_id
FROM employees
WHERE employee_id = 141
)
AND employee_id != 141;

HAVING 中的子查询

  • 首先执行子查询。
  • 向主查询中的HAVING 子句返回结果。
题目:查询最低工资大于50号部门最低工资的部门id和其最低工资

FROM employees
WHERE department_id IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY department_id
HAVING min_sal > (
SELECT MIN(salary)
FROM employees
WHERE department_id = 50
);

CASE 中的子查询

题目:显式员工的employee_id,last_name和location。其中,若员工department_id与location_id为1800的department_id相同,则location为Canada,其余则为USA。

SELECT last_name, job_id

SELECT employee_id, last_name
FROM employees
WHERE salary =
(SELECT MIN(salary)
FROM employees
GROUP BY department_id);

错误信息:Subquery returns more than 1 row
说明:括号中的子查询语句会返回每个部门的最低薪资,远不止一行

多行子查询

  • 也称为集合比较子查询
  • 内查询返回多行
  • 使用多行比较操作符

多行比较操作符

操作符 含义
IN 等于列表中的任意一个
ANY 需要和单行比较操作符一起使用,和子查询返回的某一个值比较
ALL 需要和单行比较操作符一起使用,和子查询返回的所有值比较
SOME 实际上是ANY的别名,作用相同,一般常使用ANY

代码示例

题目:查询平均工资最低的部门id

在MySQL中,聚合函数不支持嵌套,但是在Oracle可以嵌套

3
4
5
6
SELECT department_id
FROM employees
GROUP BY department_id
HAVING AVG(salary) <= ALL (SELECT AVG(salary)
FROM employees
GROUP BY department_id);

空值问题

内查询中出现NULL,会影响查询结果

SELECT last_name
FROM employees
WHERE employee_id NOT IN (
SELECT manager_id
FROM employees
);

SELECT last_name
FROM employees
WHERE employee_id NOT IN (
SELECT manager_id
FROM employees
WHERE manager_id IS NOT NULL -- 加一行判断,排除NULL的情况
);

相关子查询

相关子查询执行流程

如果子查询的执行依赖于外部查询,通常情况下都是因为子查询中的表用到了外部的表,并进行了条件关联,因此每执行一次外部查询,子查询都要重新计算一次,这样的子查询就称之为 关联子查询

例如查询比Abel工资高的员工,这就不是一个相关子查询,因为我们只需要查询一次,即查询Abel的工资是多少,然后把它当成一个常量来进行比较

代码示例

题目:查询员工中工资大于本部门平均工资的员工的last_name

先来回顾一下之前学的东西,如果改成查询工资大于本公司平均工资的员工,那么代码如下

1
2
3
4
5
6
SELECT last_name,salary,department_id
FROM employees
WHERE salary > (
SELECT AVG(salary)
FROM employees
);

这里仍然是不相关子查询,因为内查询只查询了一次,即找到公司平均工资即可

那我们现在再来看看原题该怎么做

SELECT last_name,salary,department_id
FROM employees e1
WHERE salary > (
SELECT AVG(salary)
FROM employees e2
WHERE e1.`department_id`=e2.`department_id`
);

在 FROM 中使用子查询
查询各部门id的平均工资,当做一张表,然后再多表查询

SELECT e.last_name,e.salary,e.department_id

FROM employees e
LEFT JOIN departments d
ON e.`department_id` = d.`department_id`
ORDER BY d.department_name;

SELECT employee_id,last_name,job_id
FROM employees e
WHERE 2 <= (SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM job_history j
WHERE e.`employee_id` = j.`employee_id`
);

EXISTS 与 NOT EXISTS关键字

  • 关联子查询通常也会和 EXISTS操作符一起来使用,用来检查在子查询中是否存在满足条件的行。
  • 如果在子查询中不存在满足条件的行:
    • 条件返回 FALSE
    • 继续在子查询中查找
  • 如果在子查询中存在满足条件的行:
    • 不在子查询中继续查找
    • 条件返回 TRUE
  • NOT EXISTS关键字表示如果不存在某种条件,则返回TRUE,否则返回FALSE。

  • 以上两种方式有好坏之分吗?
  • 答:自连接方式好!
    题目中可以使用子查询,也可以使用自连接。一般情况建议你使用自连接,因为在许多 DBMS 的处理过程中,对于自连接的处理速度要比子查询快得多。可以这样理解:子查询实际上是通过未知表进行查询后的条件判断,而自连接是通过已知的自身数据表进行条件判断,因此在大部分 DBMS 中都对自连接处理进行了优化
