Re: Subquery and EXISTS issue [Answer]

If you're trying to get the first query to return the same result as the second query, this is not how EXISTS works. If the subquery returns any rows at all, then the subquery returns true (and therefore the query is effectively Select e1.name from employee e1), otherwise it returns false. See Subqueries and EXISTS.
