一、创建customers表

########################
# Create customers table
########################
use `study`;

CREATE TABLE customers
(
  cust_id      int       NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  cust_name    char(50)  NOT NULL ,
  cust_address char(50)  NULL ,
  cust_city    char(50)  NULL ,
  cust_state   char(5)   NULL ,
  cust_zip     char(10)  NULL ,
  cust_country char(50)  NULL ,
  cust_contact char(50)  NULL ,
  cust_email   char(255) NULL ,
  PRIMARY KEY (cust_id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

##########################
# Populate customers table
##########################
INSERT INTO customers(cust_id, cust_name, cust_address, cust_city, cust_state, cust_zip, cust_country, cust_contact, cust_email)
VALUES(10001, 'Coyote Inc.', '200 Maple Lane', 'Detroit', 'MI', '44444', 'USA', 'Y Lee', 'ylee@coyote.com');
INSERT INTO customers(cust_id, cust_name, cust_address, cust_city, cust_state, cust_zip, cust_country, cust_contact)
VALUES(10002, 'Mouse House', '333 Fromage Lane', 'Columbus', 'OH', '43333', 'USA', 'Jerry Mouse');
INSERT INTO customers(cust_id, cust_name, cust_address, cust_city, cust_state, cust_zip, cust_country, cust_contact, cust_email)
VALUES(10003, 'Wascals', '1 Sunny Place', 'Muncie', 'IN', '42222', 'USA', 'Jim Jones', 'rabbit@wascally.com');
INSERT INTO customers(cust_id, cust_name, cust_address, cust_city, cust_state, cust_zip, cust_country, cust_contact, cust_email)
VALUES(10004, 'Yosemite Place', '829 Riverside Drive', 'Phoenix', 'AZ', '88888', 'USA', 'Y Sam', 'sam@yosemite.com');
INSERT INTO customers(cust_id, cust_name, cust_address, cust_city, cust_state, cust_zip, cust_country, cust_contact)
VALUES(10005, 'E Fudd', '4545 53rd Street', 'Chicago', 'IL', '54545', 'USA', 'E Fudd');

二、子查询举例

2.1、使用的表格数据信息

customers表存储：客户信息
orders表存储：订单

orderitems表存储：订单中的详细信息

2.2、例子：要列出订购物品TNT2的所有客户

(1) 检索包含物品TNT2的所有订单的编号。
(2) 检索具有前一步骤列出的订单编号的所有客户的ID。
(3) 检索前一步骤返回的所有客户ID的客户信息。

-- (3) 检索前一步骤返回的所有客户ID的客户信息。
SELECT 
    cust_name, cust_contact
FROM
    customers
WHERE
    cust_id IN (
    	-- (2) 检索具有前一步骤列出的订单编号的所有客户的ID。
		SELECT 
            cust_id
        FROM
            orders
        WHERE
            order_num IN (
            	-- (1) 检索包含物品TNT2的所有订单的编号。
				SELECT 
                    order_num
                FROM
                    orderitems
                WHERE
                    prod_id = 'TNT2'));

三、子查询特点

在SELECT语句中，子查询总是从内向外处理。
