sqlServer中有三个关键字可以修改比较运算符:All、Any和Some,其中Some和Any等价。

他们作用于比较运算符和子查询之间,作用类似Exists、not exists、in、not in以及其他逻辑意义,这些语法同样被sqlServer2000支持但是很少看到有人用它们。
set
nocount
on
use tempdb
go
if ( object_id ( 't1' ) is not null ) drop table t1
create table t1 (n int )
insert into t1 select 2 union select 3
if ( object_id ( 't2' ) is not null ) drop table t2
create table t2 (n int )
insert into t2 select 1 union select 2 union select 3 union select 4
select * from t2 where n > all ( select n from t1 ) --4
select * from t2 where n > any ( select n from t1 ) --3,4
--select * from t2 where n>some(select n from t1) --3,4
select * from t2 where n = all ( select n from t1 ) --无数据
select * from t2 where n = any ( select n from t1 ) --2,3
--select * from t2 where n=some(select n from t1) --2,3
select * from t2 where n < all ( select n from t1 ) --1
select * from t2 where n < any ( select n from t1 ) --1,2
--select * from t2 where n<some(select n from t1) --1,2
select * from t2 where n <> all ( select n from t1 ) --1,4
select * from t2 where n <> any ( select n from t1 ) --1,2,3,4
--select * from t2 where n<>some(select n from t1)--1,4
set nocount off
use tempdb
go
if ( object_id ( 't1' ) is not null ) drop table t1
create table t1 (n int )
insert into t1 select 2 union select 3
if ( object_id ( 't2' ) is not null ) drop table t2
create table t2 (n int )
insert into t2 select 1 union select 2 union select 3 union select 4
select * from t2 where n > all ( select n from t1 ) --4
select * from t2 where n > any ( select n from t1 ) --3,4
--select * from t2 where n>some(select n from t1) --3,4
select * from t2 where n = all ( select n from t1 ) --无数据
select * from t2 where n = any ( select n from t1 ) --2,3
--select * from t2 where n=some(select n from t1) --2,3
select * from t2 where n < all ( select n from t1 ) --1
select * from t2 where n < any ( select n from t1 ) --1,2
--select * from t2 where n<some(select n from t1) --1,2
select * from t2 where n <> all ( select n from t1 ) --1,4
select * from t2 where n <> any ( select n from t1 ) --1,2,3,4
--select * from t2 where n<>some(select n from t1)--1,4
set nocount off
注意,如果t1中包含null数据,那么所有All相关的比较运算将不会返回任何结果,原因就不用多解释了。而因为t1和t2表的null的存在他们和not exists之类的比较符会有一些区别。
比如下面两句
select * from t2 a where not exists(select 1 from t1 where n>=a.n)
select * from t2 where n >all(select n from t1)
他们逻辑上意义很像但是对于null的处理却是恰恰相反,第一句会忽略子查询的null而把t2的null同时查出来,第二句却是忽略了t2的null同时会因为t1中的null而无法查询到数据。
