145.View the Exhibit and examine the structure of the CUSTOMERS table.
You issue the following SQL statement on the CUSTOMERS table to display the customers who are in the
same country as customers with the last name 'KING' and whose credit limit is less than the maximum
credit limit in countries that have customers with the last name 'KING':
SQL> SELECT cust_id,cust_last_name FROM customers
WHERE country_id IN(SELECT country_id FROM customers WHERE cust_last_name ='King')
AND cust_credit_limit < (SELECT MAX(cust_credit_limit) FROM customers WHERE country_id IN
(SELECT country_id
FROM customers
WHERE cust_last_name='King'));

Which statement is true regarding the outcome of the above query?

A.It executes and shows the required result.
B.It produces an error and the < operator should be replaced by < ALL to get the required output.
C.It produces an error and the < operator should be replaced by < ANY to get the required output.
D.It produces an error and the IN operator should be replaced by = in the WHERE clause of the main query to get the required output.
答案：A
解析：
SELECT MAX(cust_credit_limit) FROM customers WHERE country_id IN
(SELECT country_id
FROM customers
WHERE cust_last_name='King') 这个是单行子查询，所以不需要使用all和 any ，排除BC
(SELECT country_id
FROM customers
WHERE cust_last_name='King') 这个是多行子查询，不能使用=
