Oracle Study之---Oracle IN和NOT IN的使用

NOT IN 與  IN 的區(qū)別:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
not In 相當(dāng)于 <> all,如果 Not In 后面跟的是子查詢的話，子查詢中只要包含一個(gè) null 的返回值，則會造成
整個(gè) Not in 字句返回空值，結(jié)果就是查詢不會返回任何結(jié)果。

而 in 相當(dāng)于 =any 的意思,可以有效處理子查詢中返回空值的情況,返回正確的結(jié)果。
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOT IN示例：

--該例子想要返回沒有下屬的職員的姓名，如果子查詢中有空值返回的話，則整個(gè)查詢將沒有結(jié)果返回

說明：
Null Values in a Subquery
The SQL statement in the slide attempts to display all the employees who do not have any 
subordinates. Logically, this SQL statement should have returned 12 rows. However, the SQL 
statement does not return any rows. One of the values returned by the inner query is a null value and, 
therefore, the entire query returns no rows

The reason is that all conditions that compare a null value result in a null. So whenever null values 
are likely to be part of the resultsset of a subquery, do not use the NOT INoperator. The NOT IN
operator is equivalent to <> ALL.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN的示例：

Notice that the null value as part of the results set of a subquery is not a problem if you use the IN
operator. The IN operator is equivalent to =ANY. For example, to display the employees who have 
subordinates(下屬), use the following SQL statement:

11:20:42 SCOTT@ test3 >select empno from emp  
11:21:04   2      where empno in  (select mgr from emp);

      7698  
      7782  
      7788  
      7839  
      7902  
6 rows selected.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alternatively, a WHERE clause can be included in the subquery to display all employees who do not 
have any subordinates:
