used in where condition of outer query.The subquery output is returning only one output
value and based on that output value the outer query is executed.Subqueries are used in

3.Correlated Subquery :

Correlated Query is nothing but the subquery whose output is depending on the inner query
used in that query.Correlated query is the query which is executed after the outer query is
executed.The outer query is always dependent on inner query.The approach of the correlated
subquery is bit di erent than normal subqueries.In normal subqueries the inner queries are
executed rst and then the outer query is executed but in Correlated Subquery outer query is
always dependent on inner query so rst outer query is executed then inner query is
executed.Correlated Subqueries always uses operator like Exist,Not Exist,IN,Not IN.

“Correlated Queries are also called as Synchronized queries…”

Execution Steps of Correlated Subqueries:

1.Executes the outer Query

2.For Each row of outer query inner subquery is executed once

3.The result of correlated subquery determines whether the fetched row should be the part
of our output results

4.The Process is Repeated for all Rows

“It is not recommended to use Correlated Subqueries as it slows down the performance”

Real Life Example:

Fetch the Employees who have not assigned a single department.

Select * from Employee E where Not exist

(Select Department_no From Department D where E.Employee_id=D.Employee_ID);

http://www.complexsql.com/subqueries-correlated-subquery/ 5/11
11/30/2017 Subqueries in SQL | Correlated Subquery | Difference Between SubQuery and Correlated Subquery

Execution of query:

Step 1:

Select * from Employee E ;

It will fetch the all employees

Step 2:

The First Record of the Employee second query is executed and output is given to rst query.

(Select Department_no From Department D where E.Employee_id=D.Employee_ID);

Step 3:

Step 2 is repeated until and unless all output is been fetched.

Nested Subqueries:

The Subqueries are called as nested subqueries when another subquery is used in where or
having condition of the Outer Query.The Execution of Nested suubquery always follows
bottom up approach.

Real Life Example:

Select * from Employee

where Employee_No Exist

(Select * from Employee

where Department_Name=

http://www.complexsql.com/subqueries-correlated-subquery/ 6/11
11/30/2017 Subqueries in SQL | Correlated Subquery | Difference Between SubQuery and Correlated Subquery

(Select Department_Name from Employee where Department_Name=’OBIEE’));

Execution of Query:

Step 1:

Executed Bottom query:

Select Department_Name from Employee where Department_Name=’OBIEE’);

Step 2:

Executed The Second Query which is above bottom query:

Select * from Employee

where Department_Name=’OBIEE’;

Step 3:

Excecuted the Top Query

Select * from Employee

where Employee_No Exist

(Select * from Employee

where Department_Name=’OBIEE’);
