Subject: exists and is not null equivalence in query
Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 14:36:31 +0200
Message-ID: <f5227160905280536u4f131850pad984218b0fe8b5@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

In some code I am taking over, I found this query:

select count(t.trame_id) as count, v.voiture_num as voitureNum  from
  arch_trames t left join voiture v on (v.tag_id=t.tag_id)
where
(t.recept_time >= 1243509320691)
and exists (select v2.voiture_num from voiture v2 where v2.tag_id=v.tag_id)
group by v.voiture_num  order by v.voiture_num

Am I right that I can replace the "and exists..." clause by
  "and v.voiture_num is not null " in this case?

Thanks

Raphaƫl
