Which is fastest LEFT JOIN or subselects

Which is fastest?

This:
SELECT id, title FROM questions LEFT JOIN users USING (userid) WHERE
zipcode = 2000;

or this:
SELECT id, title FROM questions WHERE userid IN (SELECT userid FROM
users WHERE zipcode = 2000);

I currently use the latter, but as subselects aren't ready yet I'm
currently selecting userids and then creating the select statement that
gets id and title.

Regards Jacob

I'm seeing a very strange problem with outer joins. The example below replicates the problem: create table data1 (dim1 integer, stat1 float); create table data2 (dim1 integer, stat2 float); insert into data1 values (1,1); insert into data1 values (1,2); insert into data1 values (2,2);

Hi, I'm curious about the computational complexity of a query I have. The query contains multiple nested self left joins, starting with a simple select, then doing a self left join with the results, then doing a self left join with those results, etc. What puzzles me is that the time required for the query seems to grow exponentially as I add additional left joins, which I didn't expect. I expected the inner select to return about 25...

Good day all, I have a large outer joined query that I want to have some criteria. The select query is gathering all part numbers from tblPartNumbers, left joining to tblPartNumberVendor (since more than one vendor can make the part), then left joining to tblPartNumberSupplier (since more than one supplier can distribute the vendor's part), then left joining to tblPartNumberCost (since more than one cost can be associated with a single...

I always wonder which one of join or subquery should I be using to solve a particuar problem so that I get the correct result set in minimum time. It usually happens that I can write a query quickly using subqueries (I think I happen to think that way more easily than join way :)) but I see others making use of joins all the time. May be that they can think of a query more easily using joins. I am saying that because I don't usually see much of...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
