The ANY and ALL operators are used with a WHERE or HAVING clause.

The ANY operator returns true if any of the subquery values meet the condition.

The ALL operator returns true if all of the subquery values meet the condition.

Syntax: ANY


SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name operator ANY
(SELECT column_name FROM table_name WHERE condition);

Syntax: ALL


SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
WHERE column_name operator ALL
(SELECT column_name FROM table_name WHERE condition);

Note: The operator must be a standard comparison operator (=, <>, !=, >, >=, <, or <=).

Example: ALL

Code:


SELECT EmpName, EmpAddress
FROM Employee
WHERE EmpId = ANY (SELECT EmpId FROM Employee WHERE EmpAddress = 'Kolkata')

Output:

EmpName

EmpAddress
