Some advantages of the subqueries:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li \>They allow queries that are structured so that it is possible to isolate each part of a statement.
|
|
|
|
<li \>They provide alternative ways to perform operations that would otherwise require complex joins and unions.
|
|
|
|
<li \>They are, in many people's opinion, readable. Indeed, it was the innovation of subqueries that gave people the original idea of calling the early SQL “Structured Query Language.”
