How to Write Complex SQL Sub-query

Here is a complex sub-query on how to write it using two tables explained. One is the customer table, and the other one is the order table.

Sub-queries are two types. Single row return and Multiple-row return. Below is the multiple-row return example that explains in detail.

Sub-query Question

A subquery should get everything from the Customer_Table if the customer has an order in the Order_Table of greater than $400.

Customer_Table

Order_table

Here is Sub-query

select *
from customer_table
where customer_number in
(select customer_number
from order_table
where order_total > 400);

How it works

The sub-query is inside the parenthesis. First, it gets the customer_number from the order_table (the order_total greater than 400).

The outer query gets all the details of customer_table for all the matching customer numbers.

Summary

I chose to use sub-query, which ultimately reduced complexity, and we got the desired result.
