Microsoft readily reminds us that "correlated subqueries" can be included in the WHERE clause:
SELECT au_lname, au_fname
FROM authors
WHERE 100 IN
(SELECT royaltyper
FROM titleauthor
WHERE titleauthor.au_ID = authors.au_id)
This form is discussed in detail here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/acdata/ac_8_qd_11_67lc.asp
But what is not mentioned is that these sub-queries are supported in the SELECT projection list like the following:
SELECT DISTINCT
title_id
, au1 = (
SELECT
au_id
FROM
titleauthor
WHERE
au_ord = 1
AND
title_id = t.title_id
)
FROM
titleauthor AS t
It is an error to use a sub-query that returns more than one row of data. This form is discussed in detaail in "The Practical SQL Handbook" (a link to the book should be listed on this page at songhaysystem.com).
