exists和not exists對應 in 和not in
不同在於，在select 查詢中，exists和in的執行順序不同。
[sql]
mysql> select * from category;
+----+---------+
| id | c_name |
+----+---------+
| 1 | ios |
| 2 | android |
| 3 | sb |
+----+---------+
3 rows in set

[sql]

+----+---------+--------+-------+-----+
| 1 | 蘋果 | 1 | 4999 | 2 |
| 2 | nexus4 | 2 | 1999 | 3 |

要求：只找出分類下有商品的分類
[sql]
mysql> select * from category c where exists (select * from goods where cat_id=c.id);
+----+---------+
| id | c_name |
+----+---------+
| 1 | ios |
| 2 | android |
+----+---------+
2 rows in set
先執行select查詢，結果再和子句中的select結果比較。和in相反。
