In a car database there is a Model table with columns, ModelID, MakeID and ModelName and a Car table with columns, CarID, ModelID, VIN, ModelYear and StickerPrice.
Use a sub query along with IN to list all the Model Names with a Sticker Price greater than $30000 My code is: Select M.ModelName from A Where Stickerprice in ( Select * Model M Inner Join Car C on M.ModelID = C.ModelID where Stickerprice < $30000) as A

1,793 PointsThanks. My new code is working now:
Select ModelName From Model Where ModelID IN (Select ModelID From Car Where stickerprice > '30000')

Also, you won't need to JOIN in the sub-query if you return a field that is common to both tables to compare with.

1,793 PointsHi Steven, My new code is:
Select ModelName from Model Where modelid IN (Select Stickerprice from Car Where stickerprice > $30000)
However, it is still displaying error when I execute it. Please help.

231,127 PointsYou're very close now, but you're comparing the modelid to the stickerprice in the outer WHERE clause. Try SELECTing the modelid in the sub-query.

1,793 PointsI am finding it difficult to write the correct code. I have tried a new code which has also not worked.
Select ModelName from Model WHERE ModelName IN (Select ModelID from Car Where stickerprice > $30000)

231,127 PointsChanging the sub-query to ModelID would have done the job, but you also changed the main WHERE so it now compares it to ModelName. Put the main WHERE back to compare the ModelID with the sub-query and you should have it.
