之前写过一篇关于NULL对in和not in结果的影响：Oracle的where条件in/not in中包含NULL时的处理。今天来看看exists和not exists中NULL值对结果的影响。
网上经常看到关于in和exixts、not in和not exists性能比对和互换的例子，但它们真的就可以简单互换么？我们通过下面的实验来看一下。
实验环境：Oracle 11.2.0.4
1、创建表并插入测试数据

从上面的查询结果看出exists和in都查到了id=2和3的两条数据。
第二种情况：not exists/not in的查询中不包含NULL，外层查询包含NULL

从上面的结果中可以看到两个查询都查到了id=1和2这两条记录，但not exists还查到了t1表中id为NULL的行。原因是表t1中id为NULL的行exists(3,4,5,6)为False，但前面加了个not则返回结果就为True了。
第三种情况：exists/in的子查询中包含NULL，外层查询包含NULL

从上面的结果中可以看出exist和in的结果是一致的。
第四种情况：not exists和not in的查询中包含NULL

ID
----------

3 rows selected.
zx@ORA11G>
select
* from t1 where
id
not
in
(
select
id
from t2);
no rows selected
|
从上面的查询结果中可以看出两个结果差异很大，not exists把id=1和2和为NULL的值都查出来了，而not in查出来的结果为空。no in结果为空的原因可以参考之前的文章，not exists的原因与第二种情况类似。
第五种情况：not in/not exists的子查询中无NULL值，外层查询也无NULL值

从上面的八种情况我们可以总结如下：
1、in和exists在有无NULL的情况下可以相互转换。
2、not in和not exists在都没有NULL值的情况下才可以相互转换。
