Answer / kiran
subquery can be used for simple logical queries , to get
required output/condition
but if you want to compare two or more tables and get output
in the way you want it would be lot difficult to manage all
those with subqueries - so we can use the concept of joins

Answer / neo devan
A query inside a query or next level query is called
subquery, a subquery can return 1 or more values to the
main query.
Ex: select * from emptable where deptno=(select deptno from
saltable where rownum=1);
A Join is used to query two tables, or views.
Ex: select * from emptable inner join saltable on
emptable.deptno=saltable.deptno;

Answer / ashi
Sub query: The sub query has more than one select
statement,the inner query which executes first and then it
will be the value of the 2nd query.
EX:
select ename from emp where sal>(select avg(sal) from emp);
Joins:
When the data from more than one table in the database,then
a join condition used.Rows in the one table can be joined to
rows in the other table according ro the common values
existing in corresponding columns
EX:
select dname,ename from emp,dept where emp.deptid=dept.deptid;
