Quantified predicates

A quantified predicate compares a value with a set of values produced by a subselect.

expression   comparison-operator   SOME  |  ANY  |   ALL    ( subselect )

The expression must not evaluate to a reference type.

When SOME or ANY is specified the result of the predicate is as follows:

• TRUE if the comparison is true for at least one value returned by the subselect.

• FALSE if the subselect is empty or if the comparison is false for every value returned by the subselect.

• UNKNOWN if the comparison is not true for all of the values returned by the subselect and at least one of the comparisons is unknown because of a null value.

When ALL is specified the result of the predicate is as follows:

• TRUE if the subselect returns empty or if the comparison is true to every value returned by the subselect.

• FALSE if the comparison is false for at least one value returned by the subselect.

• UNKNOWN if the comparison is not false for all values returned by the subselect and at least one comparison is unknown because of a null value.
