5. Using SubqueriesCode subqueries using the ALL, ANY/SOME, and EXISTS keywords

  • Code correlated subqueries
  • Choose the proper type of subquery to use in each case

7. Scalar FunctionsExtend your knowledge of scalar functions which: Manipulate arithmetic data, Manipulate date values, and Manipulate character data

  • Examples of scalar functions that are addressed in this course:
  • SUBSTR
  • POSSTR
