Consider the above tables A, B and C. How many tuples does the result of the following SQL query contains?

SELECT A.id 
FROM   A 
WHERE  A.age > ALL (SELECT B.age 
                    FROM   B 
                    WHERE  B. name = "arun") 

(A) 4
(B) 3
(C) 0
(D) 1


Answer: (B)

Explanation: The meaning of “ALL” is the A.Age should be greater than all the values returned by the subquery. There is no entry with name “arun” in table B. So the subquery will return NULL. If a subquery returns NULL, then the condition becomes true for all rows of A (See this for details). So all rows of table A are selected.
