Exemplos
a. Usando NULL em uma subconsulta para ainda a retornar um conjunto de resultados
O exemplo a seguir retorna um conjunto de resultados com NULL especificado na subconsulta e ainda é avaliado como TRUE usando EXISTS.
-- Uses AdventureWorks
SELECT DepartmentID, Name
FROM HumanResources.Department
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT NULL)
ORDER BY Name ASC ;
B. Comparando consultas usando EXISTS e IN
O exemplo a seguir compara duas consultas semanticamente equivalentes. A primeira consulta usa EXISTS e a segunda usa IN.
-- Uses AdventureWorks
SELECT a.FirstName, a.LastName
FROM Person.Person AS a
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM HumanResources.Employee AS b
WHERE a.BusinessEntityID = b.BusinessEntityID
AND a.LastName = 'Johnson') ;
GO
A consulta a seguir usa IN.
-- Uses AdventureWorks
SELECT a.FirstName, a.LastName
FROM Person.Person AS a
WHERE a.LastName IN
(SELECT a.LastName
FROM HumanResources.Employee AS b
WHERE a.BusinessEntityID = b.BusinessEntityID
AND a.LastName = 'Johnson') ;
GO
Este é o conjunto de resultados para ambas as consultas.
FirstName LastName

C. Comparando consultas usando EXISTS e = ANY
O exemplo a seguir mostra duas consultas para localizar lojas cujo nome seja igual ao de um fornecedor. A primeira consulta usa EXISTS e a segunda usa = ANY.
-- Uses AdventureWorks
SELECT DISTINCT s.Name
FROM Sales.Store AS s
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM Purchasing.Vendor AS v
WHERE s.Name = v.Name) ;
GO
A consulta a seguir usa = ANY.
-- Uses AdventureWorks
SELECT DISTINCT s.Name
FROM Sales.Store AS s
WHERE s.Name = ANY
(SELECT v.Name
FROM Purchasing.Vendor AS v ) ;
GO
D. Comparando consultas usando EXISTS e IN
O exemplo a seguir mostra consultas para localizar os funcionários de departamentos que começam com P.
-- Uses AdventureWorks
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, e.JobTitle
FROM Person.Person AS p
JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM HumanResources.Department AS d
JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS edh
ON d.DepartmentID = edh.DepartmentID
WHERE e.BusinessEntityID = edh.BusinessEntityID
AND d.Name LIKE 'P%') ;
GO
A consulta a seguir usa IN.
-- Uses AdventureWorks
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, e.JobTitle
FROM Person.Person AS p JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID
JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS edh
ON e.BusinessEntityID = edh.BusinessEntityID
WHERE edh.DepartmentID IN
(SELECT DepartmentID
FROM HumanResources.Department
WHERE Name LIKE 'P%') ;
GO
E. Usando NOT EXISTS
NOT EXISTS funciona de forma contrária a EXISTS. A cláusula WHERE em NOT EXISTS será atendida se nenhuma linha for retornada pela subconsulta. O exemplo a seguir localiza funcionários que não estão em departamentos que têm nomes que começam com P.
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, e.JobTitle
FROM Person.Person AS p
JOIN HumanResources.Employee AS e
ON e.BusinessEntityID = p.BusinessEntityID
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM HumanResources.Department AS d
JOIN HumanResources.EmployeeDepartmentHistory AS edh
ON d.DepartmentID = edh.DepartmentID
WHERE e.BusinessEntityID = edh.BusinessEntityID
AND d.Name LIKE 'P%')
ORDER BY LastName, FirstName
GO
Veja a seguir o conjunto de resultados.

F. Usando EXISTS
O exemplo a seguir identifica se uma linha na tabela ProspectiveBuyer pode corresponder a linhas na tabela DimCustomer. A consulta retornará linhas apenas quando os valores LastName e BirthDate nas duas tabelas forem correspondentes.
-- Uses AdventureWorks
SELECT a.LastName, a.BirthDate
FROM DimCustomer AS a
WHERE EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM dbo.ProspectiveBuyer AS b
WHERE (a.LastName = b.LastName) AND (a.BirthDate = b.BirthDate)) ;
G. Usando NOT EXISTS
NOT EXISTS funciona como o oposto de EXISTS. A cláusula WHERE em NOT EXISTS será atendida se nenhuma linha for retornada pela subconsulta. O exemplo a seguir localiza linhas na tabela DimCustomer em que LastName e BirthDate não corresponde a nenhuma entrada na tabela ProspectiveBuyers.
-- Uses AdventureWorks
SELECT a.LastName, a.BirthDate
FROM DimCustomer AS a
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT *
FROM dbo.ProspectiveBuyer AS b
WHERE (a.LastName = b.LastName) AND (a.BirthDate = b.BirthDate)) ;
