Consider the following database schema:

Frequents(kid, store)
Sells(store, candy)
Likes(kid, candy)

Table Frequents indicates what candy stores a kid likes to visit.

Table Sells shows which candy each store sells. Table Likes tells which candy a
kid likes.

Consider the following query:

(Select kid from likes) EXCEPT

(select kid from likes where candy NOT in (select candy from sells wh
ere store = ‘Starbucks’);

The query prints

A. the kids whose liked candies are not all sold by the 'Starbucks'.
B. the kids whose liked candies are only sold by the 'Starbucks'.
C. the kids whose liked candies are all sold by the store 'Starbucks'.
D. the kids whose liked candies are sold by stores other than 'Starbucks'

 vote select candy from sells where store = ‘Starbucks’

Select all the candies which sold by  'Starbucks.'


select kid from likes where candy NOT in
Best answer

Select those kids who do not like candies from 'Starbucks' or those kids who
do not buy any candies from 'Starbucks'.

(Select kid from likes) EXCEPT

Select those kids whose all liked candies are sold by the 'Starbucks'.

Option C.

Note -

. Except and set difference both are same.

.  B is not the answer because it says only sold by 'Starbucks'. But there is
possibility that some candies which are sold by Satrbucks can also be sold
by different store.

answer will be B) 

In inner query it returns "kid likes candy which sold all other stores other

Now, outer query returns, "kid likes candy which sold by only starbucks"

0
 mentioned is different in which you are creating two result set one with all
pid's and one with pid's which are excluded from sachin so its obvious that
final query will return only sold by sachin. 

but run this query on below schema.

sells- 

STARBUCKS A
CCD B
MCD A

likes-

1 A
2 A
3 B
