exists 与 in

exists做为where 条件时，是先对where 前的主查询询进行查询，然后用主查询的结果一个一个的代入exists的查询进行判断，如果为真则输出当前这一条主查询的结果，否则不输出

比如

如下：
表A
ID NAME
1 A1
2 A2
3 A3

表B
ID AID NAME
1 1 B1
2 2 B2
3 2 B3

表A和表B是一对多的关系 A.ID –> B.AID

SELECT ID , NAME FROM A WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM B WHERE A.ID = B.AID)
执行结果为
1 A1
2 A2
原因可以按照如下分析
SELECT ID , NAME FROM A WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM B WHERE B.AID = 1)
–>SELECT * FROM B WHERE B.AID = 1有值返回真所以有数据

SELECT ID , NAME FROM A WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM B WHERE B.AID = 2)
–>SELECT * FROM B WHERE B.AID = 2有值返回真所以有数据

SELECT ID , NAME FROM A WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM B WHERE B.AID = 3)
–>SELECT * FROM B WHERE B.AID = 3无值返回真所以没有数据

NOT EXISTS 就是反过来
SELECT ID , NAME FROM A WHERE NOT EXIST (SELECT * FROM B WHERE A.ID = B.AID)
执行结果为
3 A3
