问题描述
有开发问我这样一个问题:
mysql> select * from aaa;
+----+---------------------+----------+---------------------+
| id | dt | name | dtt |
+----+---------------------+----------+---------------------+
| 1 | 2019-01-14 18:15:39 | aaaaaaaa | 2019-01-30 17:14:08 |
+----+---------------------+----------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from bbb;
+----+---------------------+----------+
| id | dt | name |
+----+---------------------+----------+
| 1 | 2019-01-14 18:19:19 | aaaaaaaa |
| 2 | 2019-01-14 18:20:49 | aaaaaaaa |
+----+---------------------+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from aaa where id in (select id from bbb where dtt<now());
+----+---------------------+----------+---------------------+
| id | dt | name | dtt |
+----+---------------------+----------+---------------------+
| 1 | 2019-01-14 18:15:39 | aaaaaaaa | 2019-01-30 17:14:08 |
+----+---------------------+----------+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
上面内容里dtt这个字段在bbb表中并不存在,但是在外表中存在,但是为什么不报错反而查出来结果了呢?
原因
我请PostgreSQL的同事也做了同样的操作,也是不报错的;
这个在SQLServer和Oracle里面同样成立,why?
一般规则是,语句中的列名由FROM子句中引用的表隐式地限定在同一级别。如果子查询的FROM子句中引用的表中不存在列,则由外部查询的FROM子句中引用的表隐式地限定列。
即:在块结构语言计算子查询时,它开始在本地查找以解析列名。如果失败,则转到外部范围,直到找到具有该名称的列或失败为止。
风险
如果有开发这样执行delete语句,可能会导致全表被误删!
mysql> delete from aaa where id in (select id from bbb where dtt<now());
正确又安全的写法
带上表名
mysql> select aaa.* from aaa where aaa.id in (select bbb.id from bbb where bbb.dtt<now());
mysql> ERROR 1054 (42S22): Unknown column 'bbb.dtt' in 'where clause'
