Yes, the two queries are identical in this case.

Obviously, I don't know what the structure of your tables are, but my guess is that the example was MEANT to be somtething along the lines of:

SELECT employee from Employees
WHERE employee in
(SELECT employee,sum(Commission)
FROM Sales
GROUP by employee
HAVING sum(Commission) > 5000) - or whatever the figure you quoted was, I can't remember.

which can't be reduced to a single query... Received on Fri Oct 07 1994 - 11:28:44 CET
