bookSQL Exists Statement

The EXISTS operator is a logical operator which returns TRUE if there is at least one element in the query and FALSE in another case. The next query returns all albums after 2008 first, and if at least such an album exists, retrieves all the songs:


              
1234

            
SELECT title FROM songs
WHERE EXISTS
  (SELECT id FROM albums
  WHERE year > 2008)
copy

We can also use NOT EXISTS. This operator can be used as an additional logical condition after the WHERE statement.
