Lesson 44 : SELECT with ANY

SELECT with ANY operator

We can use the ANY operator in a WHERE clause to compare a value with any of the values in a list.

We have to use any one of these operations =, <>, <, >, <=, or >= before ANY.


Example :

SQL> create table emp(
  2    ID                 VARCHAR2(4 BYTE)         NOT NULL,
  3    First_Name         VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  4    Last_Name          VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  5    Start_Date         DATE,
  6    End_Date           DATE,
  7    Salary             Number(8,2),
  8    City               VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
  9    Description        VARCHAR2(15 BYTE)
 10  )
 11  /
Table created.
SQL>

SQL> insert into emp(ID,  First_Name, Last_Name, Start_Date,                     End_Date,                       Salary,  City,       Description)
  2               values ('01','Jason',    'Martin',  to_date('19960725','YYYYMMDD'), to_date('20060725','YYYYMMDD'), 750000, 'Toronto',  'Programmer')
