Ekvivalentní klauzule MySQL ONLY IN().

tento problém se nazývá Relational Division

SELECT boy_id 
FROM   boys_chocolates 
WHERE  chocolate_id IN ('$string')
GROUP  BY boy_id 
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT chocolate_id) = ? -- <<== number of chocolates specified

příklad:

SELECT boy_id 
FROM   boys_chocolates 
WHERE  chocolate_id IN (1,2,3,4)
GROUP  BY boy_id 
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT chocolate_id) = 4

• SQL relační divize

pokud však chocolate_id je jedinečné pro každé boy_id , DISTINCT klíčové slovo je nepovinné.

SELECT boy_id 
FROM   boys_chocolates 
WHERE  chocolate_id IN (1,2,3,4)
GROUP  BY boy_id 
HAVING COUNT(*) = 4
