Implement correlated subqueries
Implement existence checks with subqueries
Module 9: Create queries that use table expressions
This module explains how to use table expressions to extend the capabilities of sub-queries. Table expressions essentially name the results of a sub-query and allow them to be referenced as if they were a table.
