I thought I read somewhere that it was better to avoid using the IN clause
(at least when that means doing a subselect) for efficiency reasons, but I
cannot find it on the website now.
Does anyone know where that is?
And can someone confirm the following:
This:
SELECT t1.f1
FROM t1
WHERE t1.f1 IN (select f1 from t2 AS t2 where t2.f1 = t1.f1 AND t2.f2 =
'v1')
is generally slower to run then:
SELECT t1.f1
FROM t1, t2
WHERE t1.f1 = t2.f1
AND t2.f3 = 'v1'
