MySQL ANY and ALL Operators

The ANY and ALL operators in MySQL are used to compare a value to a set of values returned by a subquery. The ANY operator returns TRUE if any of the subquery values meet the condition, while the ALL operator returns TRUE if all subquery values meet the condition.

Example:

SELECT employee_name
FROM employees
WHERE salary > ANY (
    SELECT salary
    FROM managers
    WHERE department_id = 1
);

The ANY and ALL operators are commonly used in combination with comparison operators and subqueries to perform complex filtering operations.
