SQL Subqueries Presentation

A subquery is a query nested within another SQL query, used in various clauses like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or WHERE. There are different types of subqueries, including single-row, multi-row, correlated, and non-correlated subqueries. While subqueries are simple and easy to read, they can be inefficient for large datasets compared to joins.
