any/all

The any and all operators are used with where or having.

$ where/having col optr any(sub_query)
$ where/having col optr all(sub_query)

where optr is a comparison operator, and sub_query is a SQL query or a vector.

The any and all keywords allow you to perform a comparison between an operand (i.e., a single column value) and a range of other values:

  • any: Returns true if any of the subqueries values meet the condition, otherwise false.

  • all: Returns true if all of the subqueries values meet the condition, otherwise false.

Note:

  • “=any” is equivalent to “in”, and “= all” is equivalent to “!= any”;

  • The SQL operator any/all is similar to DolphinDB’s built-in function any/all. See the difference from the following examples:

SQL any keyword:

$ x > any([n1,n2,n3])

any function:

$ any([x>n1, x>n2, x>n3])
