IN predicate (degree > 1)

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The SQL IN predicate also works well for row value expressions. Much like the IN predicate for degree 1, it is defined in terms of a quantified comparison predicate. The two expressions are equivalent:

R IN [IN predicate value]

R = ANY [IN predicate value]

jOOQ supports the IN predicate with row value expressions.An example is given here:

-- Using an IN list
(BOOK.ID, BOOK.TITLE) IN ((1, 'A'), (2, 'B'))

-- Using a subselect
(BOOK.ID, BOOK.TITLE) IN (
  SELECT T.ID, T.TITLE
  FROM T 
)

// Using an IN list
row(BOOK.ID, BOOK.TITLE).in(row(1, "A"), row(2, "B"));

// Using a subselect
row(BOOK.ID, BOOK.TITLE).in(
  select(T.ID, T.TITLE)
  .from(T)
);

In both cases, i.e. when using an IN list or when using a subselect, the type of the predicate is checked. Both sides of the predicate must be of equal degree and row type.

Emulation of the IN predicate where row value expressions aren't well supported is currently only available for IN predicates that do not take a subselect as an IN predicate value.
