Mysql subquery ANY

Databases

hi all,

what does the ANY mean in this query, i have had a look online but from what i understand is it a work around if a subquery returns more than one record. not to sure

select u from t1 where u = ANY(select x from t2)

thanks

you’re right, it is syntax used to handle multiple rows from the subquery

an equivalent is

SELECT u FROM t1 WHERE u [COLOR="Blue"]IN[/COLOR] (SELECT x FROM t2)
