A subquery in an SQL SELECT statement is enclosed in:

  • A.braces -- {...}.
  • B.
    CAPITAL LETTERS.
  • C.parenthesis -- (...) .
  • D.brackets -- [...].

Answer: C

Correct answer: parenthesis -- (...) .

A subquery is written inside ordinary parentheses, as in WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM other).

Braces and square brackets have other roles: square brackets delimit identifiers in some dialects, such as SQL Server's [Order Details], and braces appear in ODBC escape sequences - neither encloses a subquery in standard SQL. The parentheses are not decoration; they mark where the inner query ends, which is what lets subqueries nest inside one another.
