Which of the following SQL statements are helpful in database redesign?

  • A.Correlated subqueries only
  • B.EXISTS/NOT EXISTS expressions only
  • C.Both of the above are helpful
  • D.None of the above are helpful.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Both of the above are helpful

Both belong to the same family and both are used in redesign. A correlated subquery is evaluated once for each candidate row of the outer query, which is what lets it compare a row against others in the same table - the way a functional dependency is tested. EXISTS and NOT EXISTS are the standard form such a subquery takes, since they ask only whether any matching row exists rather than what it contains.
