Re: [MS_AccessPros] Example of subquery.

Kevin-

OK. Here's a preview from the upcoming Effective SQL book that I and my team are writing.

Table Subquery:

SELECT BeefRecipes.RecipeTitle

FROM

(SELECT Recipes.RecipeID, Recipes.RecipeTitle

FROM (Recipes INNER JOIN Recipe_Ingredients

ON Recipes.RecipeID = Recipe_Ingredients.RecipeID)

INNER JOIN Ingredients

ON Ingredients.IngredientID =

Recipe_Ingredients.IngredientID

WHERE Ingredients.IngredientName = 'Beef')

AS BeefRecipes

INNER JOIN

(SELECT Recipe_Ingredients.RecipeID

FROM Recipe_Ingredients INNER JOIN Ingredients

ON Ingredients.IngredientID =

Recipe_Ingredients.IngredientID

WHERE Ingredients.IngredientName = 'Garlic')

AS GarlicRecipes

ON BeefRecipes.RecipeID = GarlicRecipes.RecipeID;

The above query uses two table subqueries in the FROM clause to find the recipes that have both Beef and Garlic.

Table Subquery with one column:

SELECT Products.ProductName

FROM Products

WHERE Products.ProductNumber NOT IN

(SELECT Order_Details.ProductNumber

FROM Orders INNER JOIN Order_Details

ON Orders.OrderNumber = Order_Details.OrderNumber

WHERE Orders.OrderDate

BETWEEN '2015-12-01' AND '2015-12-31');

The above query finds the products that were not ordered in the last quarter of 2015. Note that in Access, you would use # as a delimiter on the date constants instead of a single quote.

Scalar subquery - returns exactly one value:

SELECT Products.ProductNumber, Products.ProductName,

(SELECT MAX(Orders.OrderDate)

FROM Orders INNER JOIN Order_Details

ON Orders.OrderNumber = Order_Details.OrderNumber

WHERE Order_Details.ProductNumber = Products.ProductNumber)

AS LastOrder

FROM Products;

The above query lists all products and the date of the latest order for that product.

In each case, the (SELECT … ) is a subquery.

Thanks for your reply. I think an example might be the best way to see how a subquery works. Please help.

Best Regards,

Kevin

Life has an uncanny way of responding to your need.

What are you trying to learn? A subquery is simply a subset of data using a SELECT statement enclosed in parentheses. You can have a table subquery (multiple columns and rows), a list subquery (one column returning a value from multiple rows), or a scalar subquery (one column returning exactly one value). Using a subquery isn't dependent on the version of Access unless you go back earlier than Version 2.

Dear All,
Can anybody upload an exmample of ms access file (2010) containing a subquery to the group? Thanks in advance.
