Valores de resultado

Retornará TRUE se uma subconsulta tiver qualquer linha.

Exemplos

A. Usando NULL em uma subconsulta para ainda a retornar um conjunto de resultados

O exemplo a seguir retorna um conjunto de resultados com NULL especificado na subconsulta e ainda é avaliado como TRUE usando EXISTS.

USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
SELECT DepartmentID, Name 
FROM HumanResources.Department 
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT NULL)
ORDER BY Name ASC ;

B. Comparando consultas usando EXISTS e IN

O exemplo a seguir compara duas consultas semanticamente equivalentes. A primeira consulta usa EXISTS e a segunda usa IN.

USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
SELECT a.FirstName, a.LastName
FROM Person.Person AS a
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT * 
    FROM HumanResources.Employee AS b
    WHERE a.BusinessEntityID = b.BusinessEntityID
    AND a.LastName = 'Johnson');
GO

A consulta a seguir usa IN.

USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
SELECT a.FirstName, a.LastName
FROM Person.Person AS a
WHERE a.LastName IN
(SELECT a.LastName
    FROM HumanResources.Employee AS b
    WHERE a.BusinessEntityID = b.BusinessEntityID
    AND a.LastName = 'Johnson');
GO

Este é o conjunto de resultados para ambas as consultas.

C. Comparando consultas usando EXISTS e = ANY

O exemplo a seguir mostra duas consultas para localizar lojas cujo nome seja igual ao de um fornecedor. A primeira consulta usa EXISTS e a segunda usa =ANY.

USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
SELECT DISTINCT s.Name
FROM Sales.Store AS s 
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
    FROM Purchasing.Vendor AS v
    WHERE s.Name = v.Name) ;
GO

A consulta a seguir usa = ANY:

USE AdventureWorks2008R2 ;
GO
SELECT DISTINCT s.Name
FROM Sales.Store AS s 
WHERE s.Name = ANY
(SELECT v.Name
    FROM Purchasing.Vendor AS v ) ;
GO

D. Comparando consultas usando EXISTS e IN

O exemplo a seguir mostra consultas para localizar os funcionários de departamentos que começam com P.

USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, e.JobTitle
FROM Person.Person AS p 
JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
   ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID 
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
    FROM HumanResources.Department AS d
    JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS edh
       ON d.DepartmentID = edh.DepartmentID
    WHERE e.BusinessEntityID = edh.BusinessEntityID
    AND d.Name LIKE 'P%');
GO

A consulta a seguir usa IN.

USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, e.JobTitle
FROM Person.Person AS p JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
   ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID 
JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS edh
   ON e.BusinessEntityID = edh.BusinessEntityID 
WHERE edh.DepartmentID IN
(SELECT DepartmentID
   FROM HumanResources.Department
   WHERE Name LIKE 'P%');
GO

E. Usando NOT EXISTS

NOT EXISTS funciona de forma contrária a EXISTS. A cláusula WHERE em NOT EXISTS será atendida se nenhuma linha for retornada pela subconsulta. O exemplo a seguir localiza funcionários que não estão em departamentos que têm nomes que começam com P.

SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, e.JobTitle
FROM Person.Person AS p 
JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
   ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID 
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
   FROM HumanResources.Department AS d
   JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS edh
      ON d.DepartmentID = edh.DepartmentID
   WHERE e.BusinessEntityID = edh.BusinessEntityID
   AND d.Name LIKE 'P%')
ORDER BY LastName, FirstName
GO

Aqui está o conjunto de resultados.
