EXISTS subquery
结果类型
Boolean
结果值
如果子查询包含任何行，则返回 TRUE。
示例
A. 在子查询中使用 NULL 仍然返回结果集
以下示例返回在子查询中指定了 NULL 时的结果集，并且通过使用 EXISTS 仍然求值为 TRUE。
USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
SELECT DepartmentID, Name
FROM HumanResources.Department
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT NULL)
ORDER BY Name ASC ;
B. 比较使用 EXISTS 和 IN 的查询
以下示例比较了两个语义等同的查询。第一个查询使用 EXISTS，第二个查询使用 IN。
USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
SELECT a.FirstName, a.LastName
FROM Person.Person AS a
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM HumanResources.Employee AS b
WHERE a.BusinessEntityID = b.BusinessEntityID
AND a.LastName = 'Johnson');
GO
下面的查询使用 IN。
USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
SELECT a.FirstName, a.LastName
FROM Person.Person AS a
WHERE a.LastName IN
(SELECT a.LastName
FROM HumanResources.Employee AS b
WHERE a.BusinessEntityID = b.BusinessEntityID
AND a.LastName = 'Johnson');
GO
以下是其中任一查询的结果集。
FirstName LastName

C. 比较使用 EXISTS 和 = ANY 的查询
以下示例显示两个查找其名称与供应商名称相同的商店的查询。第一个查询使用 EXISTS，第二个查询使用 =ANY。
USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
SELECT DISTINCT s.Name
FROM Sales.Store AS s
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM Purchasing.Vendor AS v
WHERE s.Name = v.Name) ;
GO
下面的查询使用 = ANY。
USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
SELECT DISTINCT s.Name
FROM Sales.Store AS s
WHERE s.Name = ANY
(SELECT v.Name
FROM Purchasing.Vendor AS v ) ;
GO
D. 比较使用 EXISTS 和 IN 的查询
以下示例显示查找以 P 开头的部门员工的查询。
USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, e.JobTitle
FROM Person.Person AS p
JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM HumanResources.Department AS d
JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS edh
ON d.DepartmentID = edh.DepartmentID
WHERE e.BusinessEntityID = edh.BusinessEntityID
AND d.Name LIKE 'P%');
GO
下面的查询使用 IN。
USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, e.JobTitle
FROM Person.Person AS p JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID
JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS edh
ON e.BusinessEntityID = edh.BusinessEntityID
WHERE edh.DepartmentID IN
(SELECT DepartmentID
FROM HumanResources.Department
WHERE Name LIKE 'P%');
GO
E. 使用 NOT EXISTS
NOT EXISTS 的作用与 EXISTS 正相反。如果子查询没有返回行，则满足 NOT EXISTS 中的 WHERE 子句。以下示例查找不在部门中且姓名以 P 开头的员工。
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, e.JobTitle
FROM Person.Person AS p
JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM HumanResources.Department AS d
JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS edh
ON d.DepartmentID = edh.DepartmentID
WHERE e.BusinessEntityID = edh.BusinessEntityID
AND d.Name LIKE 'P%')
ORDER BY LastName, FirstName
GO
下面是结果集：
FirstName LastName Title
