我有两张表,其中包含以下设置:
category: (id, name)
item: (id, name, category_id) - category_id is foreign key to category table
现在我正在编写一个查询来检索仅使用类别的类别表中的子集:
SELECT c.id, c.name
FROM category c
WHERE c.id IN (SELECT DISTINCT category_id FROM item)
以上查询工作正常。我只是想知道这是否是进行查询的最佳方式,或者是否可以通过连接或其他方式做其他事情

将IN (SELECT)
转换为EXISTS (SELECT ... WHERE )
可能有所帮助:
SELECT c.id, c.name
FROM category c
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM item WHERE item.category_id = c.id)
另一种可能性(我希望它更慢,但它总是取决于你的数据库):
SELECT c.id, c.name
FROM category c
INNER JOIN item ON item.category_id = c.id
GROUP BY c.id
或者您可以使用DISTINCT
代替GROUP BY
:
SELECT DISTINCT c.id, c.name
FROM category c
INNER JOIN item ON item.category_id = c.id

其他一些有趣的变体:
SELECT c.id, c.name
FROM category c
INNER JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT item.category_id ) AS i_c ON i_c.category_id = c.id
另:
SELECT c.id, c.name
FROM category c
EXCEPT
SELECT c.id, c.name
FROM category c
LEFT JOIN item ON item.category_id = c.id
WHERE item.category_id IS NULL

使用加入:
SELECT c.id, c.name
FROM category c
JOIN item i on c.id=i.category_id
GROUP BY c.id, c.name
