postgreSQL - in vs any | 易学教程

问题

I have tried both

1) smthng = any(select id from exmplTable)

2) smthng in (select id from exmplTable)

and I am getting the same results for my data.

Is there any difference for the two expresions?

No, in these variants are same:

You can see - the execution plans are same too:

postgres=# explain select * from foo1 where id in (select id from foo2);

This may be an edge case but:

select * from myTable where id IN ()

will produce: ERROR: syntax error at or near ")"

but

select * from myTable where id = ANY('{}');

Will return an empty result set
