Since the subquery return all the columns from table oe_order_headers_all instead of just header_id.

Thanks for quick reply,

select * from oe_order_lines_all 
where header_id in(select header_id FROM oe_order_headers_all  where order_number=4721)

Is this correct?

Thank you

Syntactically it is correct unless you show us some error. Does it give you the required output?

I think yes it gives and i think that the sub query returns header_id from the headers table to the outer query is this correct?
Otherwise please suggest me.

Thank you

You think? Just validate the output.

Yes the subquery returns all the values of header_id for order_number "4721", so it should work fine.

hi mist,

Your subquery will pass header id from subquery to outer query and it will give you matching header_id results.It will work like
equijoin.

Please use like this for getting better performance:


select   a.* 
from     oe_order_lines_all   a,
         oe_order_headers_all b 
where    b.order_id = 4721
and      a.header_id = b.header_id

Well, not really. As B's columns aren't part of the SELECT column list, that table should be moved into a WHERE clause as a subquery (just as the original query looks like).
