DatabaseSelectSubqueryTestCase
Test case for subselects in a dynamic SELECT query.

Code

function testExistsSubquerySelect() {
  // Put George into {test_people}.
  db_insert('test_people')->fields(array(
    'name' => 'George',
    'age' => 27,
    'job' => 'Singer',
  ))
    ->execute();
  // Base query to {test}.
  $query = db_select('test', 't')->fields('t', array(
    'name',
  ));
  // Subquery to {test_people}.
  $subquery = db_select('test_people', 'tp')->fields('tp', array(
    'name',
  ))
    ->where('tp.name = t.name');
  $query->exists($subquery);
  $result = $query->execute();
  // Ensure that we got the right record.
  $record = $result->fetch();
  $this->assertEqual($record->name, 'George', 'Fetched name is correct using EXISTS query.');
